RIFTSCAPE CIVILIZATION ARCHIVES

Build. Trade. Battle.

RIFTSCAPE: Create Civilizations is a civilizations server built on Create. Found a city, build machines, trade across the continent, and fight for territory. Under Hardcore Lite (Life Drain): every death permanently drains a heart, and when your hearts run out, you spectate for the rest of the season.

Server Pillars

01. Create-Powered Industry

Machines, trains, and automation are the backbone of every civilization. The better your factory runs, the further your borders reach.

02. Civilizations & Territory

Organize into groups, claim land, and build defensible bases. Raids are a real risk, not a side activity.

03. The World & The Community

The map, wiki, and Discord give players clear expectations before they commit to the campaign.

Community Guidelines

Fair Play, Real Stakes

A world with real stakes only works when the rules are consistent. Active moderation and strict anti-exploit enforcement keep the challenge fair.

  • ◆Permadeath is real, but the server still needs to be fair, consistent, and enforceable.
  • ◆Exploits, hacks, and convenience griefing are not tolerated and are treated as a direct threat to the season.
  • ◆Staff and moderation tools are active and invisible, so the server remains competitively fair without becoming overshadowed by admins.
  • ◆The goal is not to remove challenge, it is to remove cheating, abuse, and exploitative play from the experience.

Rules & Enforcement

RIFTSCAPE enforces fair play through a three-tier strike system. Every player and civilization operates under the same rules — violations result in strikes, temporary bans, or permanent removal.
