Question 1

How do I find when a Rust server wipes?

Accepted Answer

Use the wipe calendar above — it lists upcoming wipes across tracked Rust servers for the next 7 days, grouped by day in UTC. Each entry links to the server so you can check its population, region, and player ratings before you join.

Question 2

What is the difference between a map wipe and a blueprint (BP) wipe?

Accepted Answer

A map wipe regenerates the world and clears all buildings and inventories. A blueprint (BP) wipe additionally resets every player's learned blueprints, so the whole server re-grinds the tech tree. The monthly force wipe is always a map and BP wipe; entries tagged "BP" on the calendar include a blueprint wipe.

Question 3

What do the group limit and gather rate tags mean?

Accepted Answer

Gather rate is the resource multiplier — 1x is vanilla, higher rates speed up farming. Group limit is the maximum team size a server enforces, from Solo up to No Limit. Filter the calendar by either to find wipes that match how you play.

Question 4

Why are only some servers shown on the wipe calendar?

Accepted Answer

Only servers with a published wipe schedule appear here. Many servers wipe on demand or don't share a fixed schedule, so they won't show up — for those, check live wipe status and "last wiped" times on the server browser instead.
