Is there anti-cheat?

Our servers are authoritative which means server logic is independent from the clients and most decisions are made by the server which makes it harder for people to manipulate situations. This will however not be all, we’re always looking for ways to improve cheat protection. We’ve implemented anti-chat and are exploring additional systems. Our servers will and can be heavily moderated this also allows for greater control of just how a server will run and how secure it will be.
