What is a facility?

A facility on Canterlands is a certified plot of land that has registered a preset type of service for the server (eg. breeding, boarding).

Can my facility have Personal Areas?

If stated, a facility may contain a discreet "personal area" that a player can use for housing and storage. Players may keep up to 8 personal entities (eg. cats, dogs, etc) on the property, entities and the area itself should not interrupt the flow of the facility. Entities on the property cannot be used for profit or sales and should ideally be restricted to "pet" type animals, you are not permitted to house horses on the property unless it is stated.

Can my facility have additional builds?

Facilities may have add-ons that are not stated within the requirements. For example, players may want to add additional arenas and such to properties, this is permitted as long as all standards are met and it relates to the facility.

Can I combine facilities?

Facilities cannot be combined at this current point in time. Facilities may be connected by a path/trail, however must be at least 12 chunks apart from any direction when standing at the edge of each property (though we encourage players to spread out further to prevent accidents). The area between the two properties can contain decoration. This is inclusive of personal areas where you plan to house horses and livestock unless stated in the specific facility type. Facilities cannot be combined due to a variety of reasons - our main ones being lag and distinction between each property, this is easier for our staff to regulate. Each property needs to be out of render (therefore being x amount of chunks away) due to lag control purposes, allowing facilities to be combined means a larger amount of entities being rendered in at once. Each facility should also be unique and stand out to our playerbase, having combined facilities may cause confusion with our facility requirements as each type has it's own distinct requirements and services it must offer. In real life, you would also typically not see multiple large scale businesses being combined together. We encourage all of our players to use the space provided to them, our world currently spans 200,000 x 200,000 blocks which allows plenty of room to explore. We do not encourage players building close together due to possible expansion of their facilities/builds - you may ask staff to fly around the area first to check you aren't near any other player. If you are too close to another player, you may be asked to move your property a significant distance away.

Why should I apply for a facility?

Facilities may gain bonus perks, such as the ability to apply for a brand, advertisement on our Discord / in game and additional slots. You may only use your facility perks (eg. extra breeding horses) for your facility, they may not be for personal use.
