Forced Wipes (by Facepunch) [#forced-wipes-by-facepunch]

Mandatory on the **first Thursday of every month** at 19:00 London time. All servers must wipe. Always includes a map wipe; blueprint wipes are at Facepunch's discretion (\~every 3–6 months).

Map Wipe [#map-wipe]

Resets terrain, structures, and all placed objects. Player blueprints are kept.

1. Stop server
2. Navigate to `server/[identity]/`
3. Delete: `*.sav`, `*.sav.*`, `*.map` files
4. Optionally change `server.seed` for a new layout
5. Start server

Blueprint Wipe [#blueprint-wipe]

Resets player learned blueprints. Map stays.

1. Stop server
2. Delete: `*.db` files from `server/[identity]/`
3. Start server

Full Wipe [#full-wipe]

Delete both `.sav`/`.map` AND `.db` files.
