Unwritten rules of Trailmakers
By Tomcat
Some of the unwritten rules of trailmakers for new and seasoned trailmakers alike.

This may not be fully comprehensive or align with what other people think. Just some I thought should be known to players getting into multiplayer.

Basic etiquette
-When joining a Server, say hi!.
Its nice to make yourself known and asking how someones day is / what they are working on is a nice way to start conversation.

-Don't bother someone about something if they have already expressed they are not interested.
that could be: trying a build of yours(or theirs), saving a build, doing something like following you, racing, etc..
and try not to spam if people are unresponsive.

-Along the lines of the last bullet, don't "steal" builds (taking and saving without permission) its not kind to take other people work and is akin to plagiarism if you re upload a build and claim it to be yours. Try and ask to save it, or ask if it is on the workshop so you can support the creator!

-Give some space in build zones, TM can get glitchy with lots of build close or even inside each other, and some people have some big builds!

-Respect the server rules and banned blocks, at the end of the day its the hosts server.
this includes: no glitches, no guns (or EMP), no profanity. etc..

-Try not to lag out servers!, if its your server do what you like but its good to respect other peoples frames by refraining from spawning complex builds or lighting up the sky with every projectile in the game.

-Be humble!, and you may be more experienced than others but that dose not mean you need to put others down by bragging or gloating. Just say thank you.

-Always try and help new people out!
Or even experienced people with complex logic or build problems.

-Try and be nice! Even if someone is being difficult. Its a game and its supposed to be fun, so keep conversation fun and non-controversial. But I will say this is up to the host discretion.

RACING:
-Try not to crash into other players, it ruins the fun!

-DO NOT build in a race zone!
it makes it so players trying to race can not start because it will say the person building is not ready.


In-depth talk on PvP dos and don'ts
Where and when is it OK to fight?

It is OK when: the server name states that it is a PvP server, weather that be tanks or a dog fighting server, the host has already specified that it is a server for fighting.

BUT- if someone asks to not be shot ESPECIALLY the host, you should respect their request. Maybe the server has moved on from its original goal.

It is Not OK when: the server has not specified that it is a PvP server and you shoot someone without asking first. and if no one wants to fight, respect that and find somewhere else to fight.

It is Not OK or polite to shoot when: someone is in build mode, it is annoying and only serves to be a nuisance.

It is Not OK to: carpet bomb people or test weaponry on people without asking.

It is Not OK to: shoot people on the carrier or when they just take off
Conclusion
I hope this can help some people out in navigating Trailmakers multiplayer.
Just remember to respect other people and have some fun :).

See you out there! <3

One thing i expected to be here is when people want to dogfight, and when they do they use a plane that has 8 lasers, gyros set to 10 strength, 4 rockets, and use glitches as propulsion.

It is good that someone understands that there are "unwritten rules", but that should not have a guide, because this is about ethics and common sense, even so there are many people who do not respect these unwritten rules that are very important rules, if I can sey, more important than the oficial rules. Still very good guide :)
