RTP and Exploration

What RTP is for

Random teleport is intended to move players into valid survival territory without requiring a long manual journey from spawn. It should respect the configured world and world-border rules rather than choosing arbitrary unsafe coordinates.

• Use the current RTP command, menu or token flow exposed by the server.
• Wait for the destination search/teleport to finish before trying again.
• Do not assume RTP means the destination is unclaimed or suitable for a permanent base.
• Check surroundings before setting a home or placing valuables.

World-border awareness

SkaiaRTP is designed around the actual configured world border, including its centre, so destinations remain inside valid playable space.

• A world border can be centred somewhere other than 0,0.
• Safe destination logic should account for the border centre and configured margins.
• A failed search can be preferable to teleporting into an invalid or unsafe location.
• Do not use RTP repeatedly to probe for a border or chunk-generation exploit.

Before teleporting

• Carry food, tools and blocks for a safe exit.
• Keep a known home or spawn route.
• Do not carry every rare item you own while scouting.
• Remember that fresh terrain can take a moment to load.
• After arriving, check claims and nearby builds before settling.

Exploration progression

RTP is most useful as an entry point to exploration rather than a replacement for travel. Exploration can feed normal survival, quests and supported Skills progression where those integrations are enabled.

Why border centre matters

A border described as a width is not enough to calculate valid coordinates unless the centre is also known. When the playable world is centred away from 0,0, safe RTP math has to offset every candidate around the configured border centre.

The destination search should also leave a margin so terrain checks do not succeed on a location that is technically inside the border but unsafe to use.

• Use the configured border centre, not an assumed origin.
• Keep a safety margin from the edge.
• Reject unsafe blocks/terrain instead of forcing a teleport.
• Fail cleanly when no destination is found within the attempt budget.

Turning an RTP landing into a permanent base

• Scout the surrounding area before placing valuable blocks.
• Check for existing claims/builds and community routes.
• Pick terrain that supports your actual expansion plans.
• Create the claim before moving storage in.
• Set a home only after confirming the claimed footprint and safe access.

Choosing whether to settle after RTP

• Scout the immediate area before setting a permanent home.
• Look for nearby claims, roads, large builds or signs of active development.
• Check terrain and access to the resources/biomes that matter to your project.
• Claim the real build footprint before transferring rare items or infrastructure.

RTP failure diagnosis

Safe RTP can reject candidate locations. A failed search is not automatically a bug if the system avoided unsafe terrain or invalid border positions.

• Record the world and approximate time.
• If teleported, record the destination coordinates and what made it unsafe.
• Do not spam repeated requests while one search is still running.
• Outside-border or repeatedly invalid destinations should be reported with enough context to reproduce safely.
