How to Wipe Your Duckside Server (Map Wipe vs Blueprint Wipe)

Wipe your Duckside server world and blueprints, or do a full reinstall. Includes the official wipe cycle and what each wipe type clears.

Duckside servers support two distinct wipe types — and the difference matters because they clear different things. This page covers both, plus the community wipe cadence and the full reinstall fallback.

Wipe Types

Wipe Type	Map	Player Blueprints	Player Skins	When
Map wipe	Reset	Kept	Kept	Most weeks
Map + Blueprint wipe	Reset	Reset	Kept	Every 4th Friday
Full reinstall	Reset	Reset	(Steam-side only)	Last resort

Official Wipe Cycle

Pure Duckside Studios wipes their official servers on a 4-week cycle that the community follows for unofficial servers too. Times by region:

Region	Wipe Day	Time
US / BR	Friday	22:00 UTC
EU / UK	Friday	16:00 UTC
Asia	Friday	09:00 UTC

Map-only wipes happen the other Fridays. Most community servers stick to the same schedule so players know what to expect.

Map Wipe Only

A map wipe regenerates the world but keeps everyone's researched blueprints. Use this when you want a fresh map without forcing players to grind blueprints again.

If your XGamingServer panel exposes a Wipe button or wipe schedule, use that — it handles the file selection for you.

Stop the server from Console.

In Files, delete the world save files in the server's save folder while leaving the blueprint progression files intact.

Start the server. A fresh map generates on first boot.

If you're not sure which files are which, ask in our Discord before deleting — Duckside file layout has changed across early-access patches.

Map + Blueprint Wipe

Resets the map and clears every player's researched blueprints — closer to the actual official 4-week wipe.

Stop the server.

In Files, delete both the world save files and the player progression / blueprint files in the server save folder.

Start the server. Players need to research blueprints from scratch on the new map.

Full Reinstall (Last Resort)

Use this only if your server is broken and a wipe doesn't fix it.

Warning: Reinstall deletes everything — saves, configs, mods. Back up first if you want to keep anything.

Stop the server.

In Files, delete all folders and files so the file manager is completely empty.

In the sidebar, select Dashboard. Click Reinstall Server and wait for the installation to finish.

Reconfigure your server name, password, and any custom settings, then start.

If you continue to have issues after a reinstall, join our Discord and we'll help you out.

Local Save Location

If you want to back up a single-player or LAN-hosted Duckside save before migrating to your dedicated server, the local save folder is:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\DUCKSIDE\SaveGames
