Your first session
Most new players follow the same route, and it works:
- Read the spawn orientation markers before you teleport anywhere.
- Gather basic supplies - wood, food and a bed before travelling far.
- Claim a base away from main roads. ClownPierce Castle is a common early choice.
- Visit Merchant City once you have something worth trading.
- Walk to Capital City when you have a bed - it is a long trip.
Before you play
Read the rules first - they are short. The three that catch people out:
- No hacked clients. KillAura, reach, ESP, X-ray and fly are bans.
- PvP is allowed, but dupes and exploits are not.
- Optimisation mods are fine. Sodium and Lithium are explicitly allowed.
