Frequently Asked Questions (Issues)

Please refer to this page if you have encountered any TECHNICAL and/or GAMEPLAY issues. This page does NOT collate ROLEPLAY or RULE questions and answer, for that please see Rules and Admin Rulings .

If you cannot find an answer to your issue here, please press "F1" and mentorhelp and/or ahelp. If that fails, consult the discord channel's #Cadet-Academy. Afterwards, please report the issue on Github (TECHNICAL/GAMEPLAY not working as intended) or General-Feedback (TECHNICAL/GAMEPLAY works as intended, but could use improvement.)

Only add to this page if the TECHNICAL/GAMEPLAY issue is not-fixable, very unlikely to be fixed (but not working as intended), user-side (hardware, software issues) or is working as intended and we don't plan on changing. If you are unsure, please post your proposed addition to the discord thread linked here (opens VOREStation discord!)

If looking for bugs waiting for fixing, see https://github.com/VOREStation/VOREStation/issues
