Questions
3 items · open each to read1.When do Rust servers wipe?
Every server resets at the force wipe, the first Thursday of each month, when the game updates. Between force wipes, each owner chooses a rhythm: weekly, biweekly, monthly or irregular. The heatmap shows the days and hours actually recorded, so you can plan around them.
2.What is the difference between a map wipe and a blueprint wipe?
A map wipe clears the world: bases, loot and anything built on the terrain go. A blueprint wipe also clears learned crafting, so everyone starts from scratch. Owners usually map-wipe on their own schedule and keep blueprint wipes for the force wipe; the server description states which.
3.What time of day do Rust servers wipe?
Whatever time the owner sets, usually an evening in the server's home region so players are online. The heatmap shows recorded hours in UTC: the busiest hour is where most resets land. If you play in Europe or North America, convert before you plan a start.
