Guide
Creating a faction
To create a faction, a player must first obtain a citadel. Citadels can be placed on any unclaimed chunk and can be picked up by sneak-interacting with them, provided the citadel is unclaimed.
A factionless player can create a faction by placing a citadel, interacting with it, and clicking the “Create” button. They can then name the faction and choose its color.
- Faction name is permanent and cannot be changed.
- Faction color can be changed later via the citadel menu.
Every claimed chunk displays a colored border corresponding to its faction. These borders cannot be disabled globally but can be toggled on or off individually by pressing B (default) or using the /f borders command.
The player who creates the faction is automatically set as the leader.
Inviting players, ranks transferring, ownership, leaving
Every faction has a leader, who is the faction’s owner. Beyond the leader, factions can have officers and regular members.
- Officers can perform additional actions, such as inviting or expelling players and placing claims.
- Members can be promoted to officers or demoted using
/f promoteand/f demote. - The leader can transfer leadership to another member with
/f setleader.
All faction members have an extra name tag field that displays their faction affiliation.
Chunk veins and passive yields
Chunks can contain valuable resource veins. Players can view veins by sneaking, which displays a UI indicator for the vein in the chunks they are currently in.
Veins have three quality levels — Poor, Fair, and Rich — which affect the total yield. The display shows:
- The item.
- The number of items you will receive (in square brackets).
- Up to two percentages:
- The first percentage indicates the chance of obtaining the listed items.
- The second percentage indicates the chance of getting one extra item.
Note: An item can have multiple independent drop chances within the same vein.
Veins can occur at different rates depending on the dimension, and all vein-specific settings can be adjusted in warforge/veins.cfg.
Yield collection: Items from veins are automatically deposited into the chunk’s claim at set intervals, configurable in the main configuration file.
Expanding Claim area and citadel upgrading
To expand your faction’s claim area, players with the rank of officer or higher can place claim blocks. Currently, there are two types: basic and reinforced, which differ in strength. Strength determines how many points attackers must gain to win a siege.
If the citadel level system is enabled, it restricts the number of claims a faction can have, preventing players from placing extra claims once the limit is reached.
To level up a citadel, an officer or higher must interact with it and click the “Upgrade Citadel” button. This opens a GUI showing the required items for the upgrade. If the player has the items and confirms by pressing “Upgrade”, the items are removed from the player’s inventory and the citadel levels up.
The number of levels, their claim limits, and the required items can be configured in the file: warforge/upgrade_levels.cfg.
Sieges
Sieges allow factions to attack other factions, unclaiming their chunks, preventing them from being reclaimed, or even taking over their territory. A faction can start a siege by placing a siege structure next to the enemy’s land, opening the siege menu, and selecting the chunk to target. The siege will only begin if the attacking faction is not under a losing penalty.
During an active siege, both attackers and defenders see an overhead display showing siege progress. The siege functions as a tug-of-war: killing enemies grants points to the respective side. The siege timer is influenced by the attacker’s momentum – gained from winning previous sieges and lost when a siege is lost.
- When the timer reaches 0, attackers earn a point and the timer resets.
- Timer values based on momentum can be configured in the main configuration file.
- Each attacker win grants an extra momentum point, which lasts for a configurable duration. If the momentum expires or the siege is lost, it resets to 0.
- If attackers start a siege with 0 momentum, a siege penalty is applied.
A siege is considered abandoned if all members of one side leave the siege area. By default, this area includes a 2-chunk radius around the siege chunk (configurable in the main config) and the entire claim area of the defenders.
- If defenders were offline when the siege began, they are not considered abandoned until a defender logs in and then leaves the siege area.
- The deserting side has a limited amount of time to return to the siege area before the siege is marked as failed.
- Factions are notified via chat whenever a siege is at risk of being abandoned.
The point ranges depend on defender's claim type, surrounding claims and claim reinforces that may be present on or around their claimed chunks.
