The official Snowyy Solo rulebook gathers the solo limit, actual ORP curve, wipe progression, conduct, enforcement, reports, and appeals in one searchable page.
Official Snowyy Solo rules. Solo, ORP, and progression rules apply to Snowyy Solo. Fair-play and conduct rules apply across the Snowyy network. Staff announcements may clarify enforcement, but they do not silently rewrite this rulebook.
RULE GROUP / 01
Solo means one.
01.1
One player per base and authorization chain
A base, tool cupboard, lock/code system, turret, trap, vehicle setup, and connected resource network may support one active player only. The server enforces a maximum of one authorized player on protected entities.
01.2
No coordinated combat or raiding
Do not roam, defend, counter, raid, farm, monument-run, or hold territory as a coordinated group. Taking the same fight independently is not permission to communicate, share targets, or protect each other.
01.3
No alliances or team-limit workarounds
Shared codes, beds, bags, loot rooms, build access, recurring material support, account rotation, proxy bases, or informal alliances that create a team advantage are prohibited.
01.4
Trading cannot become teaming
Normal arms-length trades are allowed. Repeated free transfers, coordinated supply drops, shared progression, or ongoing arrangements that function like a team are not.
RULE GROUP / 02
Offline raid protection.
02.1
Qualification
Your most recent online session must last at least 30 minutes to qualify. This is session-based, not accumulated lifetime playtime.
02.2
Published protection curve
The first 30 minutes after disconnect are the cooldown. From 30 minutes to 12 hours offline, protected damage is blocked. From 12–24 hours, 75% is blocked. From 24–48 hours, 50% is blocked. Protection expires after 48 hours.
02.3
What is not protected
ORP does not protect twig, decaying structures, modular or tug boats, or vehicles. Protection applies only where the plugin can establish eligible ownership and entity coverage.
02.4
No ORP manipulation
Do not exploit disconnect timing, ownership changes, grief tool cupboards, alternate accounts, entity placement, or plugin edge cases to gain protection the ruleset did not intend. Report a suspected malfunction privately.
RULE GROUP / 03
Play clean.
03.1
No cheats, scripts, or unfair tools
Cheats, recoil or input scripts, automation that plays for you, unauthorized overlays, ESP, or any third-party tool that creates an unfair gameplay advantage are prohibited.
03.2
No exploit abuse
Do not knowingly abuse terrain, building, item, monument, network, plugin, duplication, or economy bugs. Stop and report an exploit privately instead of testing it on players.
03.3
No association or evasion
Do not knowingly assist cheaters, receive cheated gains, evade a ban, use an alternate account to bypass action, or share accounts to avoid enforcement.
03.4
Preserve useful evidence
When possible, keep an unedited clip, approximate time, player name, Steam ID64, and context. Report privately so the subject is not tipped off.
RULE GROUP / 04
Respect the room.
04.1
Competitive talk has a line
Normal Rust trash talk is allowed. Hate speech, targeted harassment, credible threats, sexual harassment, stalking, doxxing, or attempts to drive someone from the community are not.
04.2
Keep identities and signs within the same standard
Player names, chat, voice, signs, notes, drawings, and other content may not be used to bypass the conduct rules or display prohibited personal information.
04.3
Do not impersonate staff
Do not claim authority, fabricate staff messages, misrepresent an enforcement decision, or use Snowyy branding to deceive another player.
RULE GROUP / 05
Progression and wipes.
05.1
2x where published
Tree, ore, and flesh dispensers are 2x. Most ground pickups are 2x, while cloth and hemp seeds remain 1x. Unlisted systems should be treated as vanilla unless the server announces otherwise.
05.2
Biweekly Friday map wipes
Snowyy Solo follows the controller-published biweekly Friday cadence at 2:00 PM Central. The monthly Thursday force wipe takes priority when it arrives before the next scheduled Friday map wipe, but it does not move the permanent Friday cycle.
05.3
Monthly blueprint reset
Blueprints remain available across regular Friday map wipes and reset during the monthly Thursday force wipe.
05.4
No pay-to-win advantage
Snowyy does not sell combat power, resource multipliers, blueprint progression, or other paid advantages over non-paying players.
RULE GROUP / 06
Enforcement and review.
06.1
Context and severity matter
Staff may warn, mute, remove gains, kick, suspend, or ban depending on evidence, harm, intent, history, and the risk to fair play. Severe cheating, evasion, threats, or doxxing may skip lesser steps.
06.2
The spirit of the rule counts
A loophole is not permission. Deliberately recreating a prohibited advantage through a method not named word-for-word may be treated as the underlying violation.
06.3
Reports are private
Use the structured report form with names, Steam IDs, timing, and evidence. Staff may be unable to share investigation details or action taken against another player.
06.4
Appeals are a genuine review channel
Use the appeal form with your Steam ID64, enforcement reason, explanation, and new context or evidence. Harassment, spam, dishonesty, or evasion during an appeal can affect the review.
