Questions

3 answers about this page and the numbers on it.

When is the next Rust force wipe?

Force wipe falls on the first Thursday of each month at 19:00 UK time, when Facepunch releases the monthly update. The countdown above shows the exact time remaining, refreshed every five minutes. All public servers wipe at that moment, so expect queues and high population on the day.

Which days and hours do most Rust servers wipe?

The heatmap above shows the busiest wipe days and hours across 30,777 recorded wipes. Typically, Thursday and Friday evenings in each server's home region see the most activity, with European servers wiping around 18:00–20:00 UTC. US servers often follow later in the UTC day.

How often do Rust servers wipe?

Weekly, biweekly and monthly are the common rhythms. Some servers wipe map and blueprints together, others only the map; the server page states which. You can filter by wipe cycle on the list of Rust servers.
