Welcome to the NodeCore "Community" World

Players are REQUIRED to read and understand these rules and notices before they are allowed to participate.


NOTICES

  • PRIVACY NOTICE

IP addresses and timestamps, along with all interactions, commands, and chat messages are logged, and retained by this server for a maximum of 5 days. Requests to have data removed will be fulfilled within 5 days. This retention policy does NOT apply to data that is shared with third parties (see below).

  • IN-GAME CHAT/LOGS ARE BRIDGED TO DISCORD/IRC

Mention "@help" in chat to request help (responses may not be immediate). Join on Discord: 

   https://discord.gg/NNYeF6f
   (Discord Channel: #ingame-community)

IRC: 

   #nodecore-ingame on chat.freenode.net

Your chat messages may be shared to third parties via chat bridges, some of whom may not be announced in-game, and some of those parties may retain chat history. These third parties may record or rebroadcast your chat. Only your in-game name, message content, and time of message, and join/leave times or other in-game announcements are shared across chat bridges.

  • ALL BUILDS ARE FULLY PUBLIC

By playing here, you are agreeing to irrevocably license any work created or performed on this server (including retroactively) to the general public under the terms of the Creative Commons CC0 license. The latest periodic snapshot is available for download/sync at any time at 

   rsync://nodecore.mine.nu/world/

Use of local map save option is also allowed/encouraged.

  • MOST GAME CONTENT IS AVAILABLE ON CONTENTDB

You can find NodeCore, szutilpack, and the majority of non-trivial mods (i.e. the ones not named my_*) used on this server on https://content.minetest.net/. If you choose to play single-player instead, please consider participating in the Discord (see above) anyway. Use the /mods command to see what mods are in use, or look at world.mt in the backup snapshot.

  • GAME CONTENT AND MECHANICS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE

NodeCore is generally stable, but always under development. Compatibility may be broken. Changes to in-game elements may break your designs and builds.

  • USER DATA MAY EXPIRE

Players who have not yet agreed to the rules and notices, and/or are absent or inactive from the game for too long, may be removed. Passwords, privileges, and positions of those players may be reset, and property may revert to public ownership.


RULES

  • MODERATION TEAM AUTHORITY

1. Moderators have broad discretion in interpretation and enforcement of rules.

2. No attempting to circumvent moderator actions.

3. Use the "/admin" command to find available moderators.

  • PLAY NICE IN CHAT

4. Treat other players with respect.

5. No spam, illegal or NSFW content.

6. No offensive/degrading terms, or otherwise hateful comments.

7. No trolling or inciting controversy.

8. No dating, role-playing or excessive intimacy in chat.

9. No sharing of personally-identifying information without explicit consent.

10. Mature language/topics may be allowed in chat, in moderation. Reader discretion advised.

11. 'English language only'; unfortunately we do not have the resources to moderate other languages at this time.

12. No gameplay spoilers in public chat. Spoilers via DM by consent only.


  • PLAY NICE IN THE GAME

13. Cooperative/peaceful play only.

14. Respect other players' builds and property.

15. New players should learn some basic game mechanics before attempting to plan a build.

16. Claim space for your build by building an obvious structure.

17. Do not block, surround, crowd, or overbear or undercut another's property.

18. The town surrounding spawn is "owned" by a team of server moderators and delegates. Ask before building within or immediately outside the wall.

19. Mining in town is allowed directly below your own property only.

20. Builds considered "abandoned" may be subject to eminent domain, improvement, or removal.

21. Builds closer to spawn are generally subject to stricter moderation. Build farther away for more freedom.

22. Builds closer to spawn should avoid "spoilers". Keep machines and high-tier items covered/hidden.


  • GRANT OF PRIVILEGES

Participation requires accepting and abiding by the the rules and notices, including any future updates. They may be updated at any time and all players are responsible for staying up to date. This message will be re-shown on login if there are changes, and you can use the /motd command to review at any time. To accept the rules and participate in gameplay, issue the "/agree to motd" command via in-game chat. If you do not agree to the rules, please disconnect from the server.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

Chat sounds are enabled by default. If you want to disable them, you can use "/szutil_chatsounds 0". See https://bit.ly/2X0Xtul for full documentation on this command.

Available "protection" mechanisms on this server are highly limited. This server runs the YCTIWY mod, and your inventory items remain in-world and exposed when you log out. To keep property more private, build farther away from spawn and don't leave your valuables out in the open. The effort required to clear a simple obstacle like a stone wall is generally higher than most thieves or irresponsible borrowers have proven willing to show.

Fast teleportation is available via telecodes, but you can't bring any items with you (they'll be dropped and left behind). See https://bit.ly/3d1S5fV for instructions on how to use telecodes.

This world is extremely limited in size (though future expansion is possible). There is no death/respawn in NodeCore, so if you wander away from the spawn area, you'll need to either walk back, or leave your stuff and use a telecode to return.
