Factions in player view

This page explains how players use factions in the shop frontend.

Navigation paths:

  • Shop -> Factions

What players can do​

Depending on server access rights and faction member rights, players can:

  • open faction overview and inspect members
  • open their faction detail workspace
  • update faction details/notes
  • manage member rights and member list
  • use faction treasury (deposit/withdraw)
  • place shop orders charged to the faction treasury (place_order)
  • view faction order history
  • manage faction places
  • manage faction-linked base alarms
  • manage faction-linked subscriptions

For the full permission model and right names, see Factions concept.

Faction overview​

Players see available factions and member lists.

  • Any authenticated player on the server can open the factions overview page.
  • If they belong to a faction (or have broad faction access), they can open the faction workspace.
  • Players can open a faction detail workspace when at least one of these conditions is true:
    • they are a member of that faction
    • they have factions -> access_all
    • they are platform administrators
  • In the main shop navigation, players also see quick links for each faction they are a member of. Each quick link uses the faction title as its link text and opens that faction detail page directly.
  • Leader display badges depend on faction member rights (shown_as_leader).
  • Featured faction cards show the faction flag icon above the title. The flag image is resolved from the Item Data Map using the faction flag item.

Faction workspace​

The faction page is organized into tabs. Visible tabs depend on access permissions.

Typical tabs:

  • Settings
  • Members
  • Treasury
  • Base Alarms
  • Subscriptions
  • Places
  • Orders (visible to members with place_order, treasure_withdraw, or treasure_deposit)

If a tab or action is missing, check the permission assignment.

Faction orders​

Members with place_order can fund shop orders from the faction treasury.

At checkout in the shop cart, a Pay from selector appears listing the player's eligible factions and their balances. Choosing a faction creates the order as a faction order:

  • The order is not linked to the placing player personally and does not appear in their personal order history.
  • The cost is deducted from the faction treasury at checkout.
  • The faction transaction log records the placing member's name.
  • Faction orders are visible in the Orders tab on the faction detail page.
  • Refunds go back to the faction treasury.
