Legend #
🟨 = Minor Severity – Violation may result in warnings, mutes, and/or fines.
🟧 = Medium Severity – Violation may result in warnings, mutes, fines, or temporary (3, 5, or 7-day) bans.
🟥 = Extreme Severity – Violation may result in warnings, fines, temporary (3, 5, or 7-day) bans, or permanent bans.
Note: Fines may be based on the value of your total assets (including land, vehicles, equipment, and cash, both on server and Discord). Fines may be percentage-based (e.g., 20% of total assets).
Note: The staff team reserves the right to:
- Escalate severity based on the violation.
- Exercise discretion when applying punishment.
- Apply punishments not explicitly listed based on the nature of the violation (e.g., reversion to contractor, loss of certain Discord/web commands, disallowance from owning specific buildings/equipment, channel mutes, etc.).
Note: Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse and will still lead to warnings, fines, and/or bans.
Discord Rules #
1. 🟨 Do not private message or mention staff or special guests.
2. 🟥 No NSFW content, self-advertising, spam, bullying, harassment, or hate speech. This applies to all conversations, inside and outside the server. If a conversation escalates, it should likely stop. Please respect each other. Follow the Golden Rule: Treat others as you would want to be treated.
3. 🟥 Do not intentionally grief or troll other players, staff, or Discord channels. Any actions deemed disingenuous for griefing or trolling purposes will not be tolerated.
4. 🟥 Do not have multiple Discord accounts in FOC or use another account to evade a ban or reset your progress. If you need to swap accounts, create a ticket. If necessary, reset progress by going bankrupt or using prestige (if eligible).
5. 🟨 The server’s official language is English. While we welcome people from all regions, English should be used in Discord and in-game communication at all times.
General Rules #
1.🟧 Players inactive for more than 30 days forfeit their Farm Slot. Staff will sell all assets and place funds into your checking account. Simply logging in is not considered active; you must engage in gameplay (e.g., farming, livestock, logging).
2.🟥 Do not lend money to other players. This includes loans or anything perceived as lending. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- Business deals that do not immediately benefit all parties.
- Buying a vehicle for someone else and receiving repayment later.
- Excessively long payment plans (e.g., over 3 years).
- Payment plans with less than a 15% down payment.
3.🟥 Players may not give away assets, especially when quitting. Examples include, but not limited to:
- Paying excessively high wages.
- Indefinitely leasing equipment or land for little/no fee or failing to collect an agreed fee.
- Trading assets of unequal value without compensation.
- Selling vehicles/equipment below the store sell value or 50% of the new price (whichever is lower).
- Trading assets for past or future labor.
Note: Assets include, but are not limited to, equipment, land, crops, consumables, and money.
4.🟨 Only accept one contract at a time, and complete it promptly. Do not delay or include unnecessary breaks in billed time.
5.🟥 Do not misuse equipment, abuse glitches, bugs, or cheats. This includes fast farming, midnight tick boosting productions/animals, and using equipment for unintended purposes. This also applies to exploiting bugs on Discord or the website. If you find an imbalance or issue, report it to a staff member via a ticket.
6.🟧 Do not abuse the transfer system, such as crop hopping or duped vehicles. Violations may result in fines and/or restricted transfer access.
- Crop hopping: transferring crop or other fill types from Server A to Server B and then back to Server A to avoid trucking the crop or product across the map.
- Duped Vehicles: Vehicles that appear in multiple places/servers due to a transfer bug.
Leasing Rules #
1.🟧 Player-to-player leases should be formalized with an agreement. Staff will not enforce terms without an agreement. Investigate thoroughly before signing. Include equipment and silo details as needed.
2.🟥 Do not landscape, place items, cut trees, or expand fields on leased property without approval. Coordinate with the owner for silos and storage.
3.🟨 Do not sub-lease or sharecrop leased land.
4.🟥 Land ownership and leasing:
- Leasing: You may lease up to 50% or 200 acres across servers. Leasing gives you full control and responsibility for equipment and expenses.
- Sharecropping: You may sharecrop up to 25% or 200 acres across servers. Sharecropping involves profit-sharing and managing land without taking on equipment, wages, or consumable costs.
Leasing is referred to as paying for the use of land (pre or post-paid) and having full control over the land, using your own equipment, and paying for your own expenses. OR
Sharecropping is when you share profits and manage the land on behalf of the owner, oftentimes not dealing with the burden of equipment, wages or consumable cost yourself.
Note: Both renters and tenants may have a maximum of 200 acres combined total under contract at one time.
Land and Buildings #
1.🟥 Avoid excessive terraforming, which impacts other players. Only use flattening and plane tools; raise/lower terrain for fixing issues only. Do not fill or bridge water features (e.g., lakes, ponds, irrigation ditches). Fixing your terraforming mess costs $50k per 15 minutes.
2.🟥 Do not place buildings or items on unowned land, nor clip them onto/into other structures. You may be charged for repairs and incur fines.
3.🟨 Do not combine fields across parcels. Fields may only be created within a single parcel. Keep 5 meters from parcel boundaries.
4.🟨 Maintain a 5-meter buffer between buildings, fields, parcels, and roads when placing structures.
5.🟨 Prior to Prestige, each farm slot is limited to:

2.🟧 Limit road-trains to two inventories of any kind.
3.🟧 Auger Wagons are not to be used for transporting crops on roads or to sell points; this is for tippers and trailers.

Equipment #
1.🟨 Remove all purchased equipment from the shop area within 24 hours to avoid fines.
2.🟧 Ensure your equipment meets or exceeds HP requirements. If caught using low-HP equipment for high-HP tasks, you will be fined. For multiple tools in one setup, ensure total HP meets or exceeds the required amount. For harvester headers or other non-HP-based items, consult the combinations tab and the Header Combinations wiki page for compatibility – Header Combinations.
3.🟧 Use accurate descriptions and vehicle IDs for /pay commands, sales, and transfers. Irrelevant or meme descriptions may result in a reversal and fine.
Forestry #
1.🟨 You may not place and then cut trees from the decorations menu.
2.🟧 Mulchers and stump grinders are for stumps only and should not be used to destroy entire trees, branches, or sections of trees on the ground. (Normal field use is appropriate.)
3.🟥 Cut and load enough trees for one trip. Clear stumps frequently. Do not cut large amounts of logs at a time and leave them on the ground. Do not leave the server with trees or stumps on the ground. Finish your job so server performance is not impacted for others.
4.🟧 Use a truck and/or trailer when transporting logs. Do not drag them on unowned land or roads.
Due to the amount of details in them, more forestry rules can be found on the wiki. See the rules here
