Guide to Factions

What are factions?

Land claims are referred to as factions on the server. Factions claim land/chunks to protect from PvP, mobs, and griefing.

They are also a group of players. Players can create factions, invite members, assign roles, and set their faction’s goals and strategy.


Territory & Claiming

  • Factions can claim land in the world (by chunks).

  • Within claimed territory, faction members have special build/break permissions, depending on settings.

To claim land:

  1. Create an outline of the claim by using the automatic claim command /f claim --auto (claims chunks where you walk)

  2. Fill the outlined claim by entering into the middle of the outline and entering the command /f claim --fill

Upkeep System

Your faction will have to pay a daily upkeep on the chunks your faction possesses

  • The daily faction upkeep amount is displayed in the menu opened by /f show

  • If your faction fails to pay the upkeep amount, the faction will enter bankruptcy

  • Under bankruptcy, your faction cannot invite new members, cannot earn unused power income, and cannot claim new land

  • If the bankruptcy is never lifted, the faction will disband 10 real-life days after it entered bankruptcy

  • You can check how much your faction owes as upkeep debt using the command /f show and /f debt

  • All money deposited into the faction bank during bankruptcy will be used to pay off the debt, and once the debt account reaches 0, bankruptcy is lifted


Power

Factions need power to control land. How much power your faction has determines how many chunks your faction can control.

  • Power depends on how many members your faction has but once your faction reaches 2000 max power, more members won't provide more power

  • Power is also generated by the GDP system cities and infrastructure bonuses

Unused Power Income

Your faction can receive a daily income if it has any unused power (more power than chunks owned)

  • Your faction must have at least one city to qualify for unused power income

  • If your faction is overdrafted on chunks (more chunks than power) then unused power income will remove money from the faction balance, similar to upkeep
