Factions gameplay is structured around four primary aspects: base building, grinding, raiding, and combat. Base building involves claiming the first piece of land for your faction (known as the core claim) and constructing defensive structures around it. Grinding refers to collection of resources (in-game money and XP) using automated monster farms. Raiding is the act of attacking rival factions using TNT cannons to breach their core claim. Combat includes both player-versus-player (PvP) and player-versus-environment (PvE). Combat helps effectively execute the other 3 parts.
A faction begins with base building, followed by grinding. Raiding is considered an advanced aspect of the game, and combat is encountered naturally when engaging in other activities.
On your first join, you are located in a spaceship where you can find the Tinkerer, the Enchanter, and even a fellow sweeper and other NPCs. Jump down the spaceship to enter the warzone. Run /spawn to teleport back to the spaceship.
Tweak your settings
Default settings do not tell you enough information upfront, and you need not have to run a command to track essential character status. Goal of these enhancements is to present this information right at the front.
Setup server settings to display coordinates
Server settings can be configured either from pause menu→Settings→Cosmic Settings, or by running /settings command. Set "Display coordinates" to Always to view coordinates at your top-left. If you need to view claim, tweak "Highlight sub-chunks" and "Display dropped item name" settings.
Setup scoreboard to display live account balance
Setup a scoreboard to your side to see your in-game balance without having to run /bal by following the steps below:
- Run
/scoreboardor/sbcommand, then click NEW. - Give a name to your scoreboard, e.g.,
my scoreboard. - For scoreboard template, select Default. Submit the form.
- Click the Back button, then click Select and close the form.
Scoreboards can further be edited to display live XP, armor durability, server TPS, ping, and more.
Receive free items
Every player starts with $1,000 bank balance. Trainee is the default rank on the server. As a trainee, you get a daily /kit starter that gives you food, building blocks, and a special chest. Right-click the chest to redeem it (or long-hold if you are on mobile). You may get a spawner or two from this special chest if you are super lucky. There are more free resources up for grabs. Two more on the checklist are below:
- Vote for the server. Voting is free and can be done daily. Be sure to write your gamertag when you cast a vote on our server page. When done, run
/vote claimin-game to receive free items. - Get the free $100,000 Startup Fund perk from our vote store (you don't need to cast a vote).
Acquire a rank
Player ranks are easy to come by on CosmicPE, you need not purchase one from the store. Hunting envoys is the quickest easiest way to get hold of a rank quest. A rank quest rewards you with a permanent rank upgrade which means a new daily /kit and more perks. Look out for an envoy broadcast in chat.
