Common questions

What time does Rust force wipe happen?

Force wipes typically go live around 2:00 PM EST on the first Thursday of the month, but Facepunch doesn't guarantee an exact time. Servers can take 15–30 minutes to come back online after the update drops.

Do blueprints reset on every wipe?

No — blueprints only reset on force wipe (first Thursday of the month). Regular map wipes clear the map, bases, and loot but leave your blueprints intact.

Do community servers follow this schedule?

No — community servers set their own wipe schedule. Check your server's Discord for exact wipe dates and times.
