Xeno Factions FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I create my first faction?
Use `/c help` to see faction creation commands, then follow the prompts to name your group and set it up. Once created, you can invite other players and start claiming land through your city.
What's the difference between a faction and a city?
A faction is your group organization, while a city is the actual claimed land territory that belongs to your faction. You need to build a named city to claim and protect specific areas on the map.
How do prestige points work?
You earn prestige points by staying active in the game, and these points are spent to maintain your land claims and purchase upgrades. If you run out of prestige, your claims may become vulnerable, so keep earning points through regular play.
Can new players get attacked right away?
No, the New Player Grace period gives fresh players a safe window to build their first base without being attacked by other factions. This grace period expires after a certain time, so use it wisely to establish your initial settlement.
How do I upload a custom flag for my faction?
Use `/c listflags` to see available flag designs, or look for the option to upload your own image as your faction's custom flag. Check the faction management commands with `/c help` for the specific upload command.
What do radiation and Geiger counters do?
Radiation is a hazard in certain areas that damages players over time; use a Geiger counter to detect and measure radiation levels before exploring. Safe zones at spawn are protected from radiation, and you can use forcefields to shield your base from radiation damage.
How do I declare war on another faction?
Use the diplomacy commands (accessible via `/c help`) to declare war on rival factions or form alliances with neighbors. War allows you to raid and fight other groups, while alliances let you team up for mutual defense.
What are the old-school tech items used for?
Items like radars, missiles, and forcefields are defensive tools you can craft and place around your base to detect enemies and protect your territory. Radars help you spot incoming threats, while forcefields and missiles provide active defense against raids.
Can I see my faction's borders on a web map?
Yes, this mod integrates with web map tools so you can view your faction's claimed territory and borders online outside of the game. Check your server's web map setup to see your claims displayed in real-time.
What happens if my faction runs out of prestige?
Without enough prestige to maintain your claims, your land becomes unprotected and other factions can raid or claim it. Keep earning prestige through active play and manage your spending on upgrades to avoid losing your territory.
