PVE SERVER SETUP ?

[Denis Martins (Evanhawnsenn)]

Is there any way to create a real PVE server, preventing player from destroying base and killing others?
I created one but I couldn't find the options to make it PVE, I used a pveserver mod via torch and a friend from another faction managed to destroy my base. Do you have a command that prevents this from happening? Thanks.

I would say no, since this is a build block game I very much doubt the game could accurately flag what is and isn't a players when boiled down to it. More so with the players themselves likely finding ways around it.

Best bet is to simply set one up state clearly its PVE only and create a discord, keep up and if any PVP/griefing happens either warn them or kick them.

Depending on how you want to play it you could always set up a station somewhere with a GPS that goes out in global chat and have an all access cargo box that is filled with zone chips (admin them in) so players can build safezones without worry.

Hi, I don't think something can be done for that but may be a Workaround like hide the server / lock it's access to specific players, I mean :

I would create a Steam Group, add the server rules to the Steam Group description and lock the server for the hidden Steam Group members only,

+ Specify in the Steam Group description that all members can join the second Steam Group to have access to the server (paste the Group link somewhere in the rules)
+ All can ask the server admin for a "Free Admin Safe Zone" set to their Faction, that info should be hiidden half way or at the end of the rules so you will know if they read it.

Giving a Safe Zone to the players reading the rules would be a good way so all can read and have a Free Safe Zone to protect their first station.

The Admin or Moderators must be active to be able to help new members, so to join the server and use the admin menu Alt+F10 to spawn in a Safe Zone at the player's GPS coords and set it to their Faction.

Just a small size (Safe Zone) as a gifted protection to PVE players that will be very welcome in same time.

To elaborate on what frag2k4 said, one of the most powerful key aspects in SE is self-inflicted damage. IE: Crashing into a stationary object, misfiring a weapon, overextending a piston through a wall. Then add the factor that teammates can do things like mislaunch their miner into the ceiling of the base. The ability of the game to allow/simulate these mishaps is a good chunk of the game's gameplay. It comes at a great cost of being forced to allow intentional destruction though, be it PvP or griefing.

You can almost effectively disable all that though, by disabling block destruction. May present more problems than it fixes though.

I was playing in the past on a server that had some mod/plugin that was doing that. It was not possible to grind down other ppl blocks unless you was in the faction. Kill me i dont remember where it was. But I want to start pve server myself so im on hunt for that thing too.

2021 discussion is too old to reopen because the game was not the same at that time.

Note

Steam Moderators and Keen Moderators lock +3 months old discussions because the game is not the same after a update where old disscussions may contain false information, discussions that don't have any activity so no new posts since 3 months. also to avoid community reports about "Necroing old" and it is in the forum rules added to pinned green messages.

Never be shy to create a new forum discussion, one problem at a time so all can help on one idea/problem per discussions that matches the game version.
