Game rules

This is a PvE only server. If you kill or steal, you will be banned.

  • No teleports in loot rooms.
  • A point of interest (POI) is any structure containing lootable items. Basically, it is one of the prefab buildings or areas that are part of the map.
  • Modifying is defined as digging, destroying, land claiming, building, or placing items.
  • Looting player bases or equipment is not allowed — even if they haven't put up walls or locked their containers yet. Harvesting another player's crops or other harvestable structures without permission is considered stealing.
  • Modifying commercial, industrial, special, or other high-value POIs is not allowed. You may modify houses outside city regions that don't have loot chests, lots of bookshelves, or lots of high-value loot containers.
  • You may only use a POI for horde night if you have a quest that will reset the POI, and you reset the POI after horde night is over. Or, the POI is inside a reset region.
  • Modifying or blocking roads is not allowed. You may modify the gravel driveway of your POI inside you landclaim as long you don't effect the main roads.
  • Modifying anything within the same region or within 250 blocks of the Lobby, other community buildings, cities, or towns is not allowed.
  • Reset regions are protected areas of the map that you must avoid building in. These regions get completely reset back to their original condition on a regular basis, erasing all player-placed items/alterations/vehicles, to keep the world fresh for our large player base. Type $map in the chat window for a link to the web-based map showing where you can safely build.
  • You may use the stations and fuel in the Lobby. Taking fuel, station attachments, or tools from the Lobby is stealing.
  • The Lobby area is not a base — do not stay there during a horde. The lobby area is protected from hostiles and the rapid despawning during horde night causes the server to lag or crash. If you do this, you will be banned.
  • Traders are off limits to strip and tear down. Harvesting crops and looting containers is fine, but taking farm plots, seeds, or scrapping assets is not allowed — these are shared resources and must be left intact. (Razor, Anna, Caitlin, and Eve are included in this for Darkness Falls specifically.)
  • Plant all trees far enough apart that their leaves avoid touching or overlapping — regular trees need at least 11 blocks between them, fruit trees at least 4 blocks.
  • Please be careful with water. It flows freely and will cover large areas, causing map corruption if not contained. Only use water for farms, and use the least amount possible.
  • Type $help in the chat window for a list of available commands.
  • There's a known bug in how 7 Days handles the imposter mesh of larger builds, which can lead to region corruption. To avoid this, builds should stay under 100x100x100 blocks. As a result, you can't have more than 4 land claims together, and the largest build can only be 2x2 land claims — everything must stay at or below 100x100x100 blocks. This should improve map stability and give everyone a better experience.

Player conduct rules

  • Hacking, cheating, or similar behavior will not be tolerated.
  • Intentionally harming or hampering another player's game — griefing or trolling — will not be tolerated.
  • Lewd, bigoted, or other offensive behavior will not be tolerated.
  • Discussion of politics, religion, or other divisive issues is not allowed on Blue Goo Gaming's 7 Days To Die or Discord servers. We are here to play and slip out of the real world for a bit.
  • Causing drama on the 7 Days To Die or Discord servers will not be tolerated. Take issues to a moderator or admin in private.
  • Use of Blue Goo Gaming's 7 Days To Die or Discord servers for any purpose other than participating in the game is not allowed — including recruiting players to other servers or games.
  • Any activity that degrades or interferes with the proper performance of the Blue Goo Gaming game or Discord servers is not allowed.
  • Use the #off-topic-fun channel for things not related to the games.
  • The decisions of the admins and moderators win. We aren't perfect and do our best to be kind, fair, and consistent.
  • If you have issues or questions, please open a ticket in our Discord. Be patient — we have families, work, and other things that sometimes delay our response.
