This upcoming wipe marks a new chapter in Tangerine’s evolution—focused on safety, enhancements, and exclusive rewards. Block 9 redefines how players interact with Tangerine’s world, providing an unprecedented level of security and strategic gameplay. Whether you’re thriving in the tranquility of an entirely PVE landscape, enhancing your base with advanced industrial tools, or enjoying the premium perks of VIP status, the opportunities ahead have never been more exciting.
🧱 Breathe Easy, Fight Harder
For the first time in Tangerine’s history, the entire map is now PVE by default.
You’re free to build, roam, and farm without fearing that another player is watching from the trees with a rifle aimed at your head. Whether you’re just starting out or rebuilding after a wipe, you can finally settle in without the constant paranoia.
But don’t mistake peace for weakness.
Monument Defenders are back—and they are ready to defend them to their death. As you deal damage to them you’ll gain control of the monument to be able to loot freely.
This isn’t just a shift in rules—it’s a shift in philosophy. The world opens up, but danger is still just around the corner:
- Explore freely, but approach monuments with caution.
- Farm without fear, but fight for the loot that matters.
- Play your way, whether that means laying low or gearing up for war.
Block 9 gives every player room to breathe. What you do with that space? That’s up to you.
The grind just got safer. The rewards just got riskier.
⚔️ PVP Lives On — Raidable Bases & High-Stakes Events
Tangerine’s world may have gone mostly PVE, but combat isn’t dead—it’s just been refocused.
In Block 9, PVP is no longer map-wide. It now thrives in two core places: Raidable Bases and in Survival Arenas. These zones are where fights are not only allowed—they’re encouraged. If you’re looking for blood, scrap, and chaos, this is where it happens.
🧱 Raidable Bases – More Room, More Risk, More Reward
Raidable Bases remain the beating heart of competitive gameplay:
- PVP Zones Around Bases Are 3x Larger
There’s now more space to flank, defend, or dive headfirst into conflict. - Only 1 Player Needed Online to Spawn
Gone are the days of empty maps. Bases can now appear with just a single player online, meaning more consistent action and more gear in circulation. - High-Tier Bases Drop More Miners
If you want to dominate the economy, Raidable Bases are the frontline. Fight, raid, and extract what matters—or fall behind. - For The First Time, Buy Raidable Bases
You can now buy a PVE Raidable Base using the command /buyraid. This will spawn a PVE raid and tell you the location on where to go.
🚨 Survival Arenas & Gun Game
Survival Arenas and Gun Game are now a core part of the server and are replacing World Events as our top of the hour highlighted event.
- Each arena includes 21 blood for the winner!
- Only 3 players need to be online for events to trigger
- Last player left alive will earn the blood; everyone else walks away with a scrap prize for playing along.
Other events like Sputnik, Convoy and the Armored Train event have been disabled for now. We’re working to bring them back more in line with our new PVE world but don’t miss out on your chance to show off your PVP skills. Jump into an arena and show what you’re made of!
💰 Industrial Upgrades – Automate or Fall Behind
Block 9 introduces a brand-new vendor at the Outpost Shops, specializing in industrial-grade upgrades for players ready to level up their base game.
This isn’t just about convenience—it’s about efficiency, scale, and dominance. In a wipe where every second counts and scrap is king, automating parts of your operation could be the difference between thriving and falling behind. Whether you’re farming, grinding, or flipping loot, industrial upgrades unlock a new layer of strategy for experienced players.
What Can You Do?
- Automate Composters
Turn waste into fertilizer without ever lifting a finger. Great for farming setups! - Pipe Items Straight to Your Recycler
No more running loot across your base. Send your junk to get scrapped while you focus on more important things—like defending your Raidable Base loot or expanding your build! - Create Custom Industrial Chains
Build smarter, not bigger. These upgrades let you create flows that turn your base into a functioning machine.
🛒 Scrap Market Monopoly
Block 9 marks the end of an era.
The scattered network of vendors once willing to buy your loot for scrap has officially been outcompeted. ScrapMarket’s buying power, streamlined pricing and liquidity have left the old buyback shops in the dust.
As of this wipe, all scrap buybacks are handled exclusively through ScrapMarket.
No More Vendor Hopping
Gone are the days of running from Bandit Camp to random traders hoping to find someone who wants your loot. Now, if you want to turn goods into scrap, there’s one clear path:
➡️ Go to ScrapMarket.
➡️ Sell what it takes.
➡️ Leave with scrap in hand.
It’s faster. It’s simpler. It’s how the economy works now.
But the Old Vendors Aren’t Gone
Sure, they’re no longer buying loot—but they’re not out of business. Legacy vendors have pivoted, and many are now offering exclusive or specialty items not available anywhere else.
So don’t write them off. Check their stock. You might find niche tools, uncommon consumables, or gear that gives you an edge others will miss.
👯 Referrals Reimagined – Start Strong, Together
The referral system is getting a fresh coat of paint in Block 9.
In past wipes, inviting a friend to Tangerine meant earning a bit of blood on the backend. It worked—but it didn’t help players in the game. That changes now.
Bring a Friend, Get a Head Start
Starting in Block 9, every successful referral now grants both players a new miner—up front, no strings attached. Referrers can earn better miners by referring more and more players to the server.
💎 VIP Arrives – Power, Perks, and Support
