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.
RustFront publishes wipe timing on the server pages and wipe calendar so players can pick the cycle they actually want to play. Those pages currently show the network offline for maintenance, so the cycles listed there are the ones that resume when the servers come back.
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.
RustFront wipe visibility
The public wipe calendar is meant to answer the key question quickly: what wipes next, when does it wipe, and which server should I join? While the RustFront servers are offline for maintenance it answers a simpler one, because none of our own rows are wiping until the network returns.
Configured schedule for the return: Weekly. Blueprint wipe guidance: 1st Thursday of each month, 20:00 CEST. Both cycles are paused for the duration of the maintenance window.
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.
