DayZ · PvE community server · Badlands

The wasteland is hostile.
The players don't have to be.

GasTown is a grounded, Mad Max-style PvE server. Scavenge the ruins, build a base, keep your vehicle running and help the next survivor instead of shooting them.

The server

Survive the wasteland. Together.

DayZ without getting shot on sight at every corner. The danger comes from the world: the infected, the weather, hunger and broken-down cars far from home. Other players are the people who might tow you back.

PvE

No kill on sight

Player killing is off across the map. You can travel, loot and build without a sniper ending three hours of progress.

Hub

GasTown

The one town on the map. Trade at the main trader, pick up supplies from the vending machines and meet other survivors.

Vehicles

Fuel is precious

Free fuel at the stations is switched off. Every litre has to be pumped, refined and hauled, so a full tank means freedom.

World

Grounded, no sci-fi

Rust, dust and real-world gear. Custom items and vehicles are built to fit the Badlands look and feel.

Bases

Build and keep it

Raise a base out in the wasteland without waking up to it raided. Just keep clear of GasTown, roads and other players' plots.

Staff

Admins who show up

An active admin team with proper tools. Lost your car to a bug or stuck in a rock? Open a ticket and someone will help.

AllowedKilling zombies and animals, trading, helping, building, exploring.
Not allowedKilling, robbing or holding up other players, raiding bases, griefing.
PlannedA small, clearly marked PvP zone for players who want the risk.

Why fuel matters

Keep your wheels turning

Badlands is big, and walking it is slow and dangerous. Vehicles get you to loot, to your base and home again, but only if there's fuel in the tank.

The pumps in GasTown only sell what players have delivered. If you want a steady job, take up oil: it's hard work, but everyone needs what you produce.

  1. 1

    Find a field

    Buy an Oil Survey Map from the trader and prospect the area it points to.

  2. 2

    Drill and pump

    Drill the hole, set up a pumpjack and fill barrels with crude.

  3. 3

    Refine

    Haul the crude to the refinery in GasTown and turn it into petrol.

  4. 4

    Fill up

    Stock the fuel stations, fill your canisters and get back on the road.

House rules

Keep it PvE

01No killing or robbing players

Outside the marked PvP zone, you don't kill, rob, handcuff or hold up other players. Zombies and animals are fair game.

02No raiding or griefing

Don't raid bases, block roads, trap spawns, wreck other people's vehicles or sabotage pumpjacks and fuel stations.

03No cheating or exploits

Cheats, macros, duping and glitching through walls mean a permanent ban. Found a bug? Report it on Discord and you'll be thanked for it.

04Building

Don't build in or right next to GasTown, on roads, at military sites or around oil fields. Keep a fair distance from other players' bases.

05Respect each other

No racism, harassment or hate speech in voice, text chat or on Discord.

06Admins have the final word

If something isn't covered here, staff decide. Disagree? Open a ticket on Discord rather than arguing in game.

The full rules are on our Discord. Playing on the server means you accept them.
