Faust

Faust, Lord of Investigation

A server-side mod that gives your V Rising server the information layer the game never exposes: a

global, authoritative view of players, castles, plots, server entities (V Bloods, NPCs, resource nodes),

and activity that no client can see on its own. It's an admin moderation and oversight console first —

and you choose, feature by feature, how much to share with players: as PvP intel (for a price) or as

PvE community tools.

Faust is the data source. Its companion client Raphael, Lord of Wisdom

turns that data into in-game UI — the positions map, castle tables, server dashboards, and activity

charts. Every query also works from.faust chat, but the pair is the intended experience.

Pre-1.0, published for testing. Back up your server save before adding any mod, and expect commands

and config to keep evolving. Feedback shapes 1.0 — see Feedback below.

What you can investigate

Castles & plots

• Plot info — owner, region, map location, size, decay state & time, owner online/last-online, floors, clan, total item count.
• Open building plots across the map, largest first.
• Full castle map — every territory (claimed + open) in one list.
• Decay watch — claimed castles ranked by soonest-to-decay, to spot abandoned plots.
• Castle resource totals — sum everything stashed in a castle, plus prisoners held.

Players

• Player info — online state, last-online, and (tracked over time) playtime, sessions, logins/week, peak hour.
• Online player positions, with each player's region.
• Player-position heat map — where players spend time, per player or server-wide.

Server activity

• Playtime leaderboard and population history.
• Activity charts — by hour of day and day of week, daily active players + minutes, new arrivals, session lengths, per-player trends.
• Population health — DAU/WAU/MAU, retention, recency, concurrency peak, per-region distribution.
• Clan composition — clanned vs solo, plus per-clan rosters (size, online, castles held, leader).

Bosses & world

• V Blood boss board — which bosses are up, where (coords + region), their health, level, and whether they've been defeated.
• Kill leaderboards — top players by kills (and PvP), plus how often each boss has fallen (today / week / all-time).
• World-asset scan — a filterable map of NPC units (with blood type/quality) and resource nodes (ores, trees, plants).

Admin control

Nothing is exposed to players unless you decide it should be. Sensitive intel defaults to admin-only.

Each feature is gated independently:

• Who — Off, admin-only, or all players.
• A price — an item cost per use (the Faustian toll).
• A time-lock — a flat cooldown, or a usage window per period (e.g. a 10-minute window once a day).
• PvP / PvE — usable only on the matching server mode.
• An unlock — opens only after a player defeats a configured V Blood or Dracula.
• A place — usable only within range of a configured object (altar, station, landmark).

You can also block or schedule any feature live, and change any setting in-game with.faust admin set

(no restart). Separately, you control what Faust collects in the background — almost everything is

read on demand at zero idle cost; only session/population history accumulates, and you can bound or

disable it.
