The Players page has a Factions list in its right column. Each faction shows its tag, its name and its members, leaders first. The tag also appears in front of a player’s name under Everyone the world knows, and under On now when the panel tools are on. You do not need the panel tools to read it.
Find the list
- Open the Players page.
- Look at the right column, under Admins, Bans and Reserved slots. The list is titled Factions with a count, for example Factions (2).
- Each row has the tag, the faction’s name and, under it, the names of its members.
- Factions
- Everyone the world knows
On the picture, the Factions list (1) is on the right. Beside it, in the list Everyone the world knows (2), each name carries its faction tag. The Factions heading only shows when there is at least one faction to list.
Where the list comes from
The panel reads factions from the world’s last save. A new faction, or a new member, shows after the game next saves. With the panel tools on, press Save now on the Players page to make the page catch up. Save now asks the game to save and does not wait, so wait a few seconds. See the panel tools.
The list is read the same way with the server stopped, so you can look at it any time.
What is left out
- The game’s own factions. The pirates, traders and similar factions the game makes itself are not listed. Only factions made by players, with at least one member the world knows, appear.
- A faction with no known members. If the world does not know any of its members, the row is not drawn.
- Everything beyond tag, name and members. The page cannot rename a faction, change who leads it, or move a player between factions. That is done in the game.
If it does not work
- There is no Factions list. The world has no player-made faction yet, or the last save is older than the faction. Press Save now (panel tools on), wait a few seconds, or wait for the autosave.
- A player has no tag. They are not in a faction as of the last save. Under On now without the panel tools, names come from the Steam player query (the list of players the game reports to Steam) and carry no tag.
- A trading station shows a tag, but the faction is not listed. Those belong to the game’s own factions, which the page leaves out. They show by name on the map. See trading stations on the map.
