How to Wipe Your Rust Server — Map, Blueprint & Full Wipe

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

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

Resets player learned blueprints. Map stays.

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

Full Wipe

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