Proximity Alarms
Updated Oct 21, 2026Written on the HWS forum
To enhance the gameplay and tactics in PvP, we have invented and implemented Proximity Alarms to all HWS Servers. (our feature was later adopted by Eleon)
So if enemies fly close to your structures in PvP, you get a chat message, which warns you about it.
Example
Attention: Intruders are 424 meters away from !Devil Bot on Golden Globe
Notes
- The proximity on Planets for warnings are 500 meter
- The proximity in Orbits for warnings is 2000 meter
- The alerts only trigger if your Proximity Structure has at least 100 Blocks
- The alerts only trigger if your Proximity Structure is powered on
- They only trigger on PvP playfields
- They exclude warnings for Alliances
- If you have linked your Faction Chat with a Discord Channel, you can get warnings also exported to your Faction Discord channel
💡 On HWS Connect, the Proximity Log shows everyone the sensors logged near your structures, with time, faction and playfield.
