Like every monthly update, it forces a <strong>map wipe<\/strong> on every Rust server. Facepunch always releases the monthly update \u2014 and the forced wipe that comes with it \u2014 on the <strong>first Thursday of each month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you run your own server, you can also wipe <em>more<\/em> often than that \u2014 weekly and biweekly cycles are the most popular.

Times are approximate; Facepunch usually pushes the update around 2:00 PM EST but it can run an hour or two late on heavy updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table>\n<thead><tr><th>Month<\/th><th>Force Wipe Date<\/th><th>Approx.

Player <em>progress on the map<\/em> resets, but learned blueprints stay.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blueprint (BP) wipe<\/strong> \u2014 every player&#8217;s learned blueprints are reset, so everyone starts from scrap and has to research gear again. This is the &#8220;true fresh start.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Force wipe<\/strong> \u2014 the <em>monthly<\/em> wipe tied to Facepunch&#8217;s update on the first Thursday. Because the update changes the network protocol, <strong>every server must at least map-wipe<\/strong> \u2014 there&#8217;s no opting out. Most servers also wipe blueprints on force-wipe day, which is why &#8220;force wipe&#8221; usually means a full fresh start.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So: the first-Thursday <strong>force wipe is mandatory<\/strong> (map), the blueprint wipe on that day is <em>conventional but optional<\/em> for community servers, and any <em>extra<\/em> wipes between force wipes are entirely up to the server owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What time does the Rust wipe happen?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Facepunch typically releases the monthly update at around <strong>2:00 PM EST (11:00 AM PST \/ 7:00 PM UTC \/ 8:00 PM CEST)<\/strong> on the first Thursday. The map wipe happens the moment your server updates to the new build and restarts. On XGamingServer this is automatic \u2014 your server detects the Steam update, pulls it, and wipes without you lifting a finger. Self-hosters have to update the server build manually and reinstall Oxide\/uMod or Carbon afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common community wipe schedules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most servers wipe more often than once a month to keep things fresh. The popular patterns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Monthly<\/strong> \u2014 map + blueprints on force-wipe day only. The most &#8220;vanilla&#8221; experience; rewards long base progression.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Biweekly<\/strong> \u2014 a map wipe every two weeks, blueprints wiped monthly on force-wipe day. A good middle ground for most communities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weekly<\/strong> \u2014 a map wipe every week (often Thursdays or Fridays), blueprints monthly. Fast-paced; great for PvP and zerg servers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bi-weekly BP \/ weekly map<\/strong> \u2014 map every week, blueprints every two weeks for groups that want quicker resets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no single &#8220;best&#8221; schedule \u2014 it depends on your community. Hardcore PvP crowds love weekly resets; build-focused and roleplay servers lean monthly so bases have time to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to set your own wipe schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On a dedicated server you control exactly when and what to wipe. The mechanics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Map wipe<\/strong> \u2014 delete the server&#8217;s map and player data files (the <code>.map<\/code> and <code>.sav<\/code> files in your server identity&#8217;s storage folder). On next boot the server generates a fresh map. Change the <code>server.seed<\/code> in <code>server.cfg<\/code> if you want a brand-new layout.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blueprint wipe<\/strong> \u2014 delete the blueprint data so every player relearns from scratch (this is the file that stores learned BPs in your server identity folder).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automate it<\/strong> \u2014 schedule the wipe so you&#8217;re not doing it by hand at 2 AM. On XGamingServer you set the wipe schedule from the control panel; self-hosters use a cron job or a wipe plugin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Full step-by-step: read our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/docs\/rust\/wipe-guide\">Rust wipe guide<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/docs\/rust\/server-config\">server.cfg configuration guide<\/a>. If you change the map size or seed at wipe time, our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/tools\/rust\/server-status\">Rust server status tool<\/a> is handy for confirming everything came back up clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why wipes matter for your server<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wipes are the heartbeat of a Rust server. Get the cadence right and your player count surges on wipe day; get it wrong and people drift to a server that resets on a schedule they like. Two practical tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Announce your wipe schedule<\/strong> clearly (in your server name, Discord and a pinned message). &#8220;Weekly Thursday \/ monthly BP&#8221; tells players exactly what to expect.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make sure your hardware can take wipe-day load.<\/strong> Fresh-wipe nights are the highest-population, highest-stress moment a Rust server faces \u2014 everyone logs in at once to grab map spots. A weak host eats ticks and lags out exactly when first impressions matter most.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there a forced blueprint wipe every month?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The <em>map<\/em> wipe is forced every first Thursday because of the protocol change. A blueprint wipe is only strictly forced when Facepunch updates the item\/blueprint system \u2014 but in practice most servers choose to wipe blueprints on force-wipe day anyway, which is why &#8220;force wipe&#8221; is treated as a full fresh start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I avoid the monthly force wipe?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>No. The monthly update changes the network protocol, so every server must update and map-wipe to let players connect. You can, however, keep the same map seed for a &#8220;fresh copy&#8221; of the same layout, and you can choose not to wipe blueprints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the difference between a wipe and a restart?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>A restart just reboots the server \u2014 your base, loot and progress are all still there. A wipe deletes world and\/or blueprint data so everyone starts over. Restarts happen daily for performance; wipes happen on a schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does the wipe time change for my timezone?<\/h3>\n\n\n<p>The force wipe goes out globally at the same moment (when Facepunch publishes the update, ~19:00 UTC). Convert that to your local time: 2 PM US Eastern, 11 AM US Pacific, 7 PM UK, 8 PM Central Europe, 5 AM (next morning) Australian Eastern. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/tools\/rust\/wipe-tracker\">Wipe Tracker<\/a> shows the countdown in your local time automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start a Rust server that&#8217;s ready for wipe day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>XGamingServer runs Rust on <strong>AMD Ryzen 9 7950X<\/strong> hardware with NVMe storage and DDoS protection \u2014 built to hold frame time steady through the wipe-night rush.
