    If you ignore construction guidelines for a colony, we’ll ask you to remove the base. If you refuse to remove the base, you’ll be removed from the community. If the base is malicious (ie blocking doors, built on top of someone else’s base without their approval, etc) we will report the base to Hello Games, and they have a very good response rate of removing those bases.

    If that seems a little controlling, you have to understand that this city is being constructed using very specific techniques to minimize rendering issues / lag and provide the best experience for residents. If people start constructing standard bases, not being aware of the techniques we use, it will have a negative impact on everyone who visits the city because it won’t load as well.

    Plus there’s enough room for 170+ people to claim their own apartments, which they can build inside of, and “free building” systems all around this one. So there’s no shortage of available space for people to construct whatever they want… I mean… it’s a very big game. Just not in this system.

    But tbh it’s very rarely an issue. We have quite a few colonies where we ask people not to upload new bases. And when it is an issue, it’s usually not people trying to do anything disruptive, just people who don’t know any better.

        Multiple initial players creating multiple bases, with the majority of players moving in after construction, and decorating individual rooms / apartments within the pre-existing bases as their ‘space’ in the city.

        I didn’t come up with that format, Governor Zaowly of Totokenn City was the first to use that model. I just combined it with special building techniques to make a huge city.
