Territory Object Limits

Territory Raid Mode Plus

Starting any kind of raid mechanic will set the territory into "Raid Mode". Meaning members of that territory cannot remove/move/place anything in their base for 20 minutes. Every raid action will reset the 20 minute timer.
- Placing a charge, starting a hack/grind, stealing a flag. If these actions are not done then the base owners are free to remove/move/replace anything they wish as their base is not being raided.
If an enemy is in a territory after a restart, the base owners cannot remove/move/place anything for the first 5 minutes of the restart. Raiders have that amount of time to set the territory into "Raid Mode".

Base Raid Protection

Territories are protected until your base reaches level 3.
Territories are protected for 2 days (48hrs) if your base has not reached level 3 yet.
As soon as your territory reaches level 3 then it is free to be raided no matter the age of the territory.
Once your territory is over 2 days (48hrs) old, then it is free to be raided. It is only protected for 2 days, no matter the level.
Your items/vehicles can still be taken/destroyed just no raiding mechanic can be started while the territory is protected.

Cleanup Routines

Vehicles have a 1 day lifetime before getting deleted if they have no been interacted with. This is due to lag/performance. (Virtual Garage vehicles are not affected)
Base parts that are over the height limit will be automatically deleted each restart.
Workbenches outside of territories will be deleted each restart.
Constructions that are outside of a territory, will be deleted each restart. (If you have a flyaway object then save some form of proof)
Dead bodies within 500m of a spawn zone will be deleted after 5 minutes. (15 Minutes anywhere else)

Here is a "Vehicle Information Database" that displays loads of information for most of the vehicles on our server (Not fully up to date): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1h56X1cDAz3J-_iy3QhUE0GF9bFpulcxyZSrBPbzB-Vk/edit#gid=0
