Factions gameplay centers around four main elements: base building, grinding, raiding, and combat.
- Base building starts with claiming the first piece of land (the core claim) and constructing defenses around it.
- Grinding means farming resources (in-game money and XP) using automated monster farms.
- Raiding involves attacking rival enemy factionss with TNT cannons to break into their core claim.
- Combat includes both PvP and PvE,, and it ties directly into the other three aspects.
A typical faction begins by building a base, then moves into grinding. Raiding is more advanced and combat naturally happens along the way.
When you first join, you'll spawn inside a spaceship. Here you will find the Tinkerer, the Enchanter, and other NPCs. Jump down to enter the warzone and use /spawn to return to the spaceship at any time.
Server customization

You can customize your HUD to show live coordinates, dropped item names, your balance, and faction claim borders. By default, you don't see this info without typing commands. Tweaking settings makes it easier to track your status.
How to enable coordinates
- Go to Pause Menu → Settings → Cosmic Settings or run
/settings. - Set Display Coordinates to Always
- To see claim borders, enable Highlight Sub-Chunks
- To display dropped item names, enable Display dropped item name
How to show balance on a scoreboard
- Run
/scoreboardcommand, then click NEW. - Name your scoreboard (e.g., my scoreboard).
- For the etemplate, pick Default, then submit.
- Click Back, select your new scoreboard, and close.
Your scoreboard can also be customized to track 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 extra 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―you need not purchase one from the store. Hunting envoys and capturing the LMS is the quickest 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.
