Common questions
When does Rust wipe?
Rust has two kinds of wipe. The official force wipe happens once a month, on the first Thursday, when Facepunch ships the monthly update and every server is forced to reset. Between force wipes, each server sets its own schedule — weekly, biweekly, or something custom. We track 3,825 servers individually so you can see exactly when yours wipes.
When is the next force wipe?
The next force wipe is Thursday, 3 September 2026, at about 17:47 UTC — in 9 days.
How do you know what time the force wipe happens?
We measure it rather than hard-code it, but honestly: our wipe records only go back to 2026-08, so the time above comes from a single force wipe we have watched so far. Treat it as a good estimate, not a guarantee. Every month that passes sharpens it, and the page updates itself.
What's the difference between a map wipe and a blueprint wipe?
A map wipe resets the world and everything on it — your base, your loot, the terrain. A blueprint wipe additionally resets learned blueprints, so everyone starts researching from scratch. Force wipes always include a map wipe; blueprint wipes happen less often and vary by server.
What day do most Rust servers wipe?
Friday. Of the 63,403 wipes we have recorded, 19% happened on a Friday — and that is excluding the monthly force wipe, which is also a Thursday.
Do all Rust servers wipe at the same time?
No. Only force wipes are synchronised. For the rest of the month servers wipe on their own schedules, which is why a per-server schedule is more useful than a single date.
