Scavengers

Scavengers are people who take resources from an abandoned or otherwise demolished building. They are usually the first people to take resources. Most Scavengers are new players who do not have many resources and want a quick way to get them.

In most cases, when a player is permanently banned for offenses, his chests are unlocked and his buildings are either put up for sale or demolished if no other players can inherit the building. From there, scavengers try to take as much from these unlocked chests in the shortest amount of time. They will also dismantle machines and take any resources that are attached to the building before demolition.

At rare moments, scavengers might take resources from players who have not played in a long time or claimed to have left the server, but have not been banned. This is an illegal activity and is considered stealing. Some might even make residence in other dead players homes without administrator approval.
