Savage Horizon Rules
Clear rules, fair fights, and room for every survivor. Select a section to read the full rule set.
Community Rules
The foundation of our community applies everywhere: game, Discord, VOIP, and the Website.
- Respect every member. Harassment, hate speech, threats, doxxing, and discriminatory content are prohibited.
- Keep content appropriate. No explicit media, slurs, malicious links, spam, or disruptive mic use.
- Protect privacy and fair play. No stream sniping, impersonation, ban evasion, exploits, or alternate accounts.
- Use the proper channel. Report privately with evidence; do not publicly accuse or shame another player.
- Respect staff decisions. Calmly appeal through a ticket. Staff may act immediately on serious safety violations.
General Gameplay
These rules protect meaningful survival and legitimate combat.
- No combat logging or body denial. Do not disconnect, park, teleport, enter water, or use cliffs to deny a body during an active pursuit.
- No revenge killing. After death, wait at least 10 minutes and until the original encounter has ended before returning.
- No group killing or deliberate betrayal. Do not attack your own coordinated group or lure players into a false safety agreement.
- No nest griefing. Joining a nest to attack the nesting family or siblings is prohibited.
- Third parties must commit. You may join a fight, but must engage all involved sides and may not bypass group limits.
Herbivore Expectations
- No coordinated grouping with carnivores.
- Do not attack or destroy another herbivore nest, nesting pair, or nearby offspring.
- Mixed herd limit: 8 total. At most one Triceratops, one Stegosaurus, four mid-tier herbivores, and two small herbivores/omnivores.
- Groups stay together and cannot split into separate fighting units to evade caps.
Carnivore Expectations
- Cannibalism is allowed, but coordinated grouping for a betrayal is not.
- No mixpacking with herbivores or a different carnivore species.
- Beipiaosaurus may peacefully coexist nearby, but cannot join carnivore combat.
- When a body drops, disengage and follow the body-down rules unless the opposing side continues the fight.
Omnivore Expectations
- Beipiaosaurus may coexist with any species category but must follow herbivore nesting protection.
- Gallimimus follows herbivore grouping and nesting rules and cannot coordinate combat with carnivores.
- Coexistence never permits bypassing a species cap or assisting another group in a fight.
Deinosuchus Territory
Sharing a river is not automatically grouping.
ALLOWEDIndependent Deinos sharing water, ignoring one another, or defending only themselves.
NOT ALLOWEDHunting, traveling, defending, or sharing kills as a coordinated group above the species cap.
- A group is defined by coordinated play, not simple proximity.
- “Fake solo” behavior used to exceed a cap is prohibited.
- No forced aggression is required solely because multiple independent Deinos occupy the same waterway.
Species Group Caps
Caps apply to coordinated adult/subadult groups. A single nesting pair may keep its own offspring until 50% growth.
