Dominating the Calendar: Administrative Events

Waiting for the mathematical probability of a Solar Eclipse or a Martian Madness event can be a significant bottleneck for community progression, especially when survivors are preparing for endgame boss encounters or farming specialized rare drops. As an authorized server administrator, you possess the technical capability to bypass the game engine’s randomized timers and programmatically trigger almost any global world event. This ensures your community can participate in high-intensity combat encounters exactly when they are most needed.

/invasion pirateSummons the Pirate Invasion.High-tier resource event.
/invasion martianBegins Martian Madness.Late-game technological event.
/frostmoonInitializes the Frost Moon.Must be initialized during nighttime.

Strategic Community Control

If an invasion or celestial event (e.g., the Frost Moon) scales beyond your community’s current defensive capabilities, resulting in persistent player deaths at spawn points, execute the /butcher command. This logic trigger instantly purges every active hostile entity from the map, effectively clearing the current combat wave.
Unlike natural events, some administrative summons can persist through server restarts if they are written to the world metadata. If an event fails to conclude naturally, use the same toggle command (e.g., /bloodmoon) to manually terminate the state.

Synchronized Progression

Manually triggering events is an excellent strategy for hosting community “Event Nights.” We recommend announcing these summons within your Discord Server in advance to ensure maximum participation and coordinated tactical defense.
