Survivor's Code

Read carefully. Ignorance of the rules won't protect you from the horde... or Administration.

Survivor Rules (In-game)

Game version:Build 42

Mode:PvE

Difficulty:Hard

IMPORTANT: BUILD 42

We play on the experimental branch. Staff will NOT restore items, vehicles, or animals lost due to game bugs (unless you have solid video proof).

I. Respect & Community

Personal conduct:The apocalypse is no excuse for rudeness. Insults, hate speech, harassment, and spam are forbidden.
Staff decisions:Administrators have final say. Disputes are handled via Discord tickets, not public in-game chat.
Zero tolerance for cheaters:External software (cheats, scripts) or macros giving an advantage = permanent ban.

II. Property Protection (PvE)

Property protection:Despite disabled PvP, destroying others' property is strictly forbidden — including vehicles and stealing animals from pens.
No griefing:"Creative" disruption is banned: blocking roads, herding hordes to others' bases, trapping players in rooms.
Respect loot:Don't destroy containers (cabinets, crates) unless necessary. Destroyed containers won't respawn for anyone. Don't litter — drop trash on corpses.

III. Bases & Building

Safehouse (SH):No raiding or entering others' locked bases. Map glitch infiltration = ban. Inactivity beyond the set limit removes claims.
Animals:No mass breeding exploits to cause server lag.

IV. Factions & Gameplay

Lore & immersion:We aim for a 90s atmosphere. No meme/slang faction names. Names and traits should feel serious/realistic. Troll groups will be removed.
Character names:Dear survivors! For a more immersive Knox County experience, please use a first and last name for your character (e.g., John Smith). When your character dies, choose a new identity — do not continue the same persona indefinitely. We do not accept "gamer" tags (e.g., mixu, mixu mixu) or internet aliases.
Profanity:Profane character names or faction names result in removal.
Bug exploiting:Found an exploit? Report it. Use it quietly = ban.

V. Automatic Character Portraits

How it works:Shortly after you join the server, the DZH Portrait Capture mod takes a screenshot of the game window only (it is technically unable to capture your desktop or other applications) and crops a small fragment (~160×160 px) containing your character's in-game model, rendered by the mod in the corner of the screen.
Publication:The cropped image is sent to the game server and published as your character's portrait on its card at zomboid.pl. It is overwritten with a fresh one on subsequent joins.
Privacy:Only this fragment of the game image is transmitted — no other data is read from or sent off your computer. In rare cases the frame may include a piece of the game's UI.
Custom portrait:You can replace the portrait with your own image in the website panel at any time — a manually set image takes precedence and is never overwritten.
Opt-out:If you don't want an automatic portrait, contact the staff on Discord and we will disable or delete it for your character.
Legal basis:We process the portrait under our legitimate interest (maintaining character cards) — it is not a condition of playing. You may disable or delete it at any time.

Community Rules (Discord)

🌐 1. General Rules

Respect is fundamental: insults, racism, homophobia are strictly forbidden.
No advertising without staff approval (including DMs).
Impersonation: don't pretend to be players or staff.
Pinging: don't ping staff unnecessarily. Use tickets.
Profile: avatars and nicknames must not contain NSFW/profane content.

⌨️ 2. Text Channels

Post in the appropriate topic channels.
No spam or flood (many messages in a row).
Absolutely no NSFW, pornography, or graphic violence.
Public arguments are forbidden. Resolve privately.

🎙️ 3. Voice Channels

Don't shout or play music through your mic.
No channel hopping without purpose.

🛡️ 4. Administration

Staff decisions are final (discussions = tickets).
Not knowing the rules doesn't exempt you from them.

Penalty Scale & Fair Play

Level 1🟢 Warning

Level 2🟡 Mute / Kick

Level 3🟠 Temporary ban

Level 4🔴 Permanent ban

Rules can't cover every situation. Staff reserve the right to punish behavior that clearly violates Fair Play and harms the community. No specific rule doesn't mean no thinking required!
