Greetings and welcome to the Naked & Afraid Community.
These rules are subject to change without public notice.
Ignorance of the rules is not a valid excuse.
Please cooperate with these rules and guidelines to help us maintain a friendly and fun cluster.
Communication:
Global chat and Discord chat is English ONLY!
Please keep game chat and discord PG-rated. You may think you are being funny but to others, it may not feel that way.
DO NOT DM Admins unless given permission to do so.
Don’t be that person:
Be respectful! You do not know who is on the other side of the screen, it might be a child, or it might be an admin on their non-admin account. Treat others how you want to be treated.
Intentionally causing harm to the servers (ddos, Crashing, or being toxic) will result in a permanent ban! Causing drama in any matter may result in disciplinary action up to and including a ban.
Naming:
Names (Characters, Dinos Or Tribe) may not contain any vulgar, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially, ethnically, Politically Sensitive or otherwise offensive words.
If you own tribes on multiple maps, your tribe names must be the same.
Your discord name shall reflect your character and tribe For Example: Bob [Tribe of Bob]
If N&A staff determines your name to be improper, it will be changed without notice.
Taming Shiny Dinos:
You can only claim one shiny per person and only one shiny at a time. You must wait for this shiny to be tamed or killed before you move on to another.
1. Locate the shiny. You must SEE the shiny and verify nobody else is in the immediate area first. (In medium render distance)
2. Call out and claim the shiny by typing “Claim [Name of Shiny]” in the general chat.
No Nicknames.
When claiming a shiny dino you must use the Dino’s in game name and one clarifying detail. For example a Fierce Taser Tatterdemalion Rex would be claimed as “Claim Taser Rex”.
Shortening obvious names is allowed (ex: Tatterdemalion to Tatter, Carcharodontosaurus to Carcha).
Do not shorten the name if it can be mistaken for another dino (ex: Do not use Meg since it could mean Megalosaurus, Megaloceros, Megalodon, Megatherium ext.)
3. Do not move a shiny until you have claimed it.
Calling out a shiny when you have not been at the cords (must see it) is against the rules and will result in disciplinary action.
4. Must have all items or dinos on you to kill or tame the shiny and ready at the time of claiming.
If the player dies, runs out of mats, or leaves render of the shiny dino, they lose their original claim and must unclaim it. You can reclaim it following all of the original claiming rules.
If you accidentally kill a shiny, claim it in chat and explain you killed it on accident.
If you knock out a shiny or claim a knocked-out shiny, then you need to stay with it until it is tamed, wakes up, or you kill it.
If you claim a shiny you must stay with it.
If you find a knocked out shiny abandoned, please contact an admin before killing it.
If a player does not return to an abandoned shiny within 10 minutes, another player is able to claim it.
You are allowed to give up your claim to another willing player. You must unclaim the shiny and the other player must claim it before taming or killing it.
If you are caught taming a shiny without claiming it, an admin may confiscate or kill the dino.
You do not have to claim a shiny egg. You must claim the parent if you are going to kill or tame it.
If you are claiming shiny dinos through the discord chat you must add the map you are claiming them on. ( Example: “Claim Taser Rex on SE”)
Breaking any of these rules, either on accident or purpose, more than 3 times will lead to a 24 hour ban.
Building
Structure limit is 3000.
Default decay is 14 days. VIP 30 days.
Must have 26+ connected pieces within 30 foundation range to not fall into the fast decay of 7 days.
No building within 50 foundations of another player. (150 meters with Tek binoculars)
If you can see them in medium render, you are too close – Unless agreed upon by both tribes. Those tribes must then alliance.
To check put your game setting on medium render and see if you can render the other person’s base.
ONE(1) base location per map. Any building pieces outside of medium render of other structures you own will be considered a 2nd base and will be removed by an admin without notice.
All mobile setups must be returned to your base. If any mobile base is left outside of medium render range of your base it will be removed without notice and all materials/dinos will be lost.
Medium render (in-game options) is the maximum base size from a center point of your base.
Any bases found actively decaying will be immediately removed by an admin without notice.
Do not block access to any runestone, glitch, artifact, spawn point, obelisk, loot crate, bosses (including mini’s) or explorer note. Structures found blocking any of these will be removed by an admin immediately. Players must be able to access them on foot.
No methods of reserving a building area are allowed. (Including and not limited to gates, foundations & pillars.)
Any teleporter pad not in the base area must be unlocked and set to public. If not both, then they will be removed without notification.
Any teleporter inside a base without an exit has to be locked.
Public teleporters cannot be blocked by a shield generator.
Anything built for taming, cave crawling or other activities must be removed when done.
S+ Harvesters & Stryders are only allowed in your base area, any found outside your base on the map will be removed.
NO building in resource-rich areas or blocking spawns of beaver dams.
The large pillars on Scorched Earth are off limits for building if they are covered in obsidian and crystal. If building on the side, do not block obsidian or crystal spawns.
Do not block or hinder mission areas on the Genesis 1 map.
Do not build on the vegetable farms (if you are building near make sure you are not blocking their spawn and do not block public access)
All oil pumps, gas collectors and sap taps must be unlocked and accessible to others.
Tek versions are not allowed unless the vein/tree is within your base location.
When in doubt ask an admin or just don’t do it.
Dinos left out and not actively in use may be picked up by an admin and placed in a storage.
Selling/Trading
Mutated dinos level 350+ or a mutated single stat over 100 must be spayed/neutered.
If you are selling a Max stat dino make sure you neutered it from the dino wheel rather than any other way.
Mutators, vivariums, and propagators can only be traded if the receiving player has the engram unlocked.
Selling mutated/clean dinos you did not breed is against the rules even if it is a clone. This includes stats. You cannot buy a breeder from someone else, take their stat, and then sell it as your own. You must own the original dino (not a bred or clone copy) in order to sell a stat as your own.
Any Fenrir sold or traded must be spayed/neutered!
Everything traded or sold must contain some form of physical payment. Nothing is to be FREE!! (mats/BPs/dinos,etc).
All trades must be of similar value. (No 20 stone for a maxed saddle)
You cannot “adopt out” dinos or items. If transferring to a new player they must be sold or traded
N&A is not responsible for trades gone bad, double-check everything
Cloning a neutered/spayed dino or a clone of a clone is not allowed. If you do not own the unneutered/unspayed original dino, do not clone it.
Dino and Shop Pricing
Element to Points conversion is a minimum of 5 element to 1 point.
All prices/conversions are MINIMUM allowed.
Shops or Players can price their dinos or point conversions anywhere above these minimums.
Boss dinos are any dino you would see most often taken into the boss arena. Example: Carcha, Rex, Yuty, Daedon, ext
Fun dinos like maxed ovis taken into Alpha Dragon do not count.
Drag weight is based off vanilla dinos. (Evo Giga = Vanilla Giga Drag Weight)
When in doubt, check other player shops or ask an admin.
All prices/conversions are MINIMUM allowed.
Shops or Players can price their dinos or point conversions anywhere above these minimums.
Boss dinos are any dino you would see most often taken into the boss arena.
Fun dinos like maxed ovis taken into Alpha Dragon do not count.
The dino list and prices are subject to change.
Extra Large 50K Element or 10K Points
Giga
Carcha
Reaper King
Managarmr
Large 30K Element or 6K Points
Rex
Fasolasuchus
Yutrannus
Rock Drake
Spino
Medium 25K Element or 5K Points

Small 15K Element or 3K Points

Specialty
Night Wyverns: 50K Points or 10K Element
Tek Stryder: 150K Points or 30K Element
Prices are based on dinos with Health, Stam, Weight and Melee maxed or within 10 points of being maxed.
Dinos missing maxed stats: Players are allowed to cut prices by a quarter (25% or .25) of the minimum allowed price for that class of dino, per stat missing.
(Example 1: A “Small” boss dino with 3 of the 4 maxed stats. The player can cut the price by 25%. Instead of 3K points the price is 2,250 points minimum)
(Example 2: A “Large” boss dino with 2 of the 4 maxed stats. The player can cut the price by 50%. Half of 6K = 3K points minimum.)
Deals on shops are allowed as long as they are not excessive. (Example: Buy 2 get 1 free is fine. No buy one get one free since it halves the dino’s value.)
N&A Team reserves the right to have final say on shop deals, prices, and classification of dinos.
Again, these prices are MINIMUM allowed prices to keep the server economy healthy and to keep players from severely undercutting other players.
Shops can set their prices anywhere above these minimum prices, to what they feel is fair for their dinos.
Tribes:
10 Player tribe limit. 10 tribe Alliance limit
All players must be in the same tribe across all maps.
One base per map.
Any tribe leader leaving the server or going inactive for an extended period will forfeit their leader position after 15 days for the normal player and 30 days for VIP, before the tribe is transferred to an active tribe member.
Tribe Mergers:
All tribe mergers that include dinos with Maxed stat(s) must be approved by an admin through a ticket. All dinos with maxed stat(s) must be listed out with a description and who bred them prior to the merger.
A player cannot join a tribe with the intention of giving their dinos to that tribe and then no longer playing on the server. All dinos suspected of being brought by that player will be removed from that tribe. Proof of who bred them will need to be provided if a player requests them to be returned.
Tribe mergers need to be cluster-wide.
All members in both tribes must be included.
All bases must be shared cluster-wide with both tribes having access to all maps.
Upon tribe merger you have 24 hours to consolidate bases so there is one base per tribe per map. Any additional bases may be removed by an admin without notice and resulting in the loss of everything inside. (Contact an admin via ticket if more time is needed)
Tribe leaders from a merge should be the same person on all maps.
Insiding or inviting players to your tribe just to kick them and keep their items is not allowed and will result in a ban. If a player is caught insiding another player or tribe they will be permanently banned.
All structures, items, and dinos will be confiscated and given to the victims of the insider, up to and including the insider’s items and dinos brought to the tribe upon merger.
Upon a failed merger or player leaving a tribe:
Any high-stat mutated or maxed dinos brought into a new tribe belong to the tribe who bred them. Any high stat mutated or maxed dinos the player helped breed while in the tribe will belong to both the tribe and the player. The player must be given a breeding pair of maxed dinos including a pair of all color options upon leaving the tribe. Any dinos, other than maxed lines bred by the tribe member leaving, must be approved by both parties before being taken. Any other item must be agreed upon before being taken by the leaving member.
Exploits:
Utilizing things in a manner not intended can result in being banned. If something seems off report it via the ticket system in Discord.
Duplication of any sort will result in a permanent ban!
Meshing on the cluster and Ark in general is not allowed. Structures found in mesh locations will result in a tribe structure wipe.
Trying to get around building limits will result in all structures being removed and a potential ban Inviting another player in your tribe and sharing stuff then leaving the tribe after will result in a ban for both receiver and giver.
Tickets should be opened for the following reasons:
Any exploits or things not working as intended (include steps to reproduce the issue).
A player or tribe is suspected of being in violation of any of the rules – Must provide proof at the time of the ticket being opened.
Lying to an admin, leaving necessary information out, or twisting information to turn a situation in your favor may result in disciplinary action up to and including a ban.
Tickets should NOT be opened for:
General Questions – Please use general chat in discord or in game.
Server crashes; Map/server crashes can be reported in the #map-crash-reporting channel.
Bans and Refunds:
If you have received a ban and would like to contest it, please submit a ticket.
Any donation chargebacks or refund requests may result in a permanent ban.
Posting any outside links to websites or other discords will result in your discord account being immediately banned from the discord server.
