How to Wipe your Rust Server

How to Wipe Your Rust Server quick and easy

Server wiping is an essential part of maintaining a healthy Rust server. Regular wipes keep the gameplay fresh, prevent server performance issues, and align with community expectations. Whether you need to wipe just the map or both the map and blueprints, this guide will walk you through the process.

Understanding Rust Server Wipes

Before diving into the process, it's important to understand the two types of wipes:

Map Wipe: Removes all player-built structures, items, and terrain changes while keeping player blueprints and progress intact.

Blueprint Wipe (BP Wipe): Removes all player research progress, learned blueprints, and workbench levels. This is typically done less frequently than map wipes.
