Rust wipe calendar
from 30,777 wipes over the last 4 weeksServers wipe. The question is when. Force wipe takes the whole game down on the first Thursday of the month, and beyond that every owner picks their own day and hour. The chart below is built from wipes we actually logged, not from what a server's description promises. Thursday and Friday evenings in Europe fill fastest.

Restarts are left out: a new map less than six hours after the last counts as the same wipe. Times are UTC: UK time is the same in winter and an hour ahead in summer; US East is five hours behind in winter and four in summer.

When do Rust servers wipe?
Force wipe lands on the first Thursday of each month at 19:00 UK time, and every public server goes with it because the game client updates. Between those dates, owners run their own cycle. Weekly, biweekly and monthly are the three you will see, and the heatmap shows the days and hours they really use rather than the ones they advertise.
What time of day do most Rust servers wipe?
Evening in the server's own region, so players are around for the rush. Our hourly breakdown is in UTC, which is handy because you can shift it once and stop guessing: UK time equals UTC in winter and sits an hour ahead in summer, while US Eastern runs four hours behind UTC in summer and five in winter.
Map wipe or blueprint wipe, what is the difference?
A map wipe deletes the world: bases, loot, everything placed. A blueprint wipe also clears the crafting knowledge you have unlocked on that server. Most owners map-wipe on their own cycle and reserve blueprint wipes for force wipe, if they run them at all. Check the server page before you commit a weekend to it.
