Workshop models and content have their own set of rules which you can read here: Workshop Rules - Tower Unite Guides

Failure to follow the workshop rules will get your workshop content removed.

Reporting Workshop Content

To report a Workshop addon, please use this form: Report Workshop Form

We rely on these reports to handle bad content on Workshop. We don’t have access to the reports on Steam, so please use the form above.

Condo Rules

:information_source: Condos may contain custom content that may not be suitable for all ages.

You can use the Content controls found in the Settings menu to narrow down what custom content (“Workshop models”) and images (“Canvases”) you feel comfortable downloading.

By default, when you join a Condo, you will be prompted to either trust or not trust the player’s Canvas data. You can quickly untrust condos using the Tab menu and the canvas data will be made hidden and cleared completely.

Condo Content Rules & Moderation

When joining other player condos, it’s important to understand that condos are user hosted, and are not fully moderated by PixelTail, except for the content rules listed below.

Condo content that is not allowed under any circumstances include:

  • underage characters performing sexual acts or is nude/exposed
  • hate speech or racism (including transphobia, homophobia)
  • excessive harassment or doxxing of another user
  • self-harm, torture, non-fiction human violent imagery
  • animal violence
  • antisemitism
  • illegal drug usage
  • any other illegal content

We may, at our discretion and with no notice, temporarily or permanently take Condos off the condo server list/hub or limit condo permissions if we find the condos contain unacceptable content.

Mature Condos

Condos that contain mature content must tag their condo when hosting. You must add 18+ or Adult Only into the Condo title while hosting.

You must follow our condo content rules and label your condo title with the keyword “18+”. If you host mature content without this tag, your condo will be delisted.

18+ condos will not show up on the condo list by default and players must adjust their settings to display these condos.

Reporting Condos

If you feel a condo is a harm to you or others, please report the condo owner here: Player Report Form

:warning: Illicit materials should be reported to law enforcement - not to us. We will remove Condos with illegal content or activity.

In other cases, please provide some evidence when sending the report.
