Map wipe vs BP wipe
A map wipe clears bases, deployables, and the world state. A BP wipe resets learned blueprints. Many players care about the difference because a map-only wipe lets experienced players progress faster from saved blueprints.
For the monthly force wipe, the wipe countdown shows the next date and time. Community servers set their own map and blueprint schedules, so check each server's listing or a live wipe list before you join.
Weekly, biweekly, and monthly servers
Weekly map wipes reset the world more often. Biweekly and monthly schedules allow longer persistence between resets. Wipe length does not itself change gathering rates or how quickly players unlock gear; check those settings and the blueprint-wipe policy separately.
The best choice depends on your group. If you only play weekends, a weekend-friendly wipe can matter more than raw population.
Common questions
When do Rust servers wipe?
Community servers choose their own map-wipe schedule, while force-wipe timing follows Rust update requirements. Always check the server page because weekly, biweekly, monthly, and special event schedules differ.
What is a BP wipe in Rust?
A BP wipe resets learned blueprints. It is different from a map wipe, which clears bases and the world while player blueprint knowledge may remain.
