Wipe Schedule
Monthly force wipe · First Thursday of every month · 18:00 UTC
MistyWisp is a vanilla Rust EU server on a strict monthly wipe — the same cadence Facepunch enforces on its official servers. The map regenerates with a fresh seed on the first Thursday of every month at 18:00 UTC. Blueprints persist between map wipes, so progression carries over. A true BP wipe only happens when Facepunch ships one upstream — typically once or twice a year.
Mid-month, the server auto-updates with each Facepunch patch and restarts within minutes — no wipe, no save loss. A short daily restart runs at 04:00 UTC for memory hygiene.

How Facepunch's force wipe works
Once a month, on the first Thursday at 18:00 UTC, Facepunch ships a new game patch that forces every official and community server on vanilla rules to wipe the procedural map. Player blueprints (the recipes you've unlocked) survive — only the world and player positions reset. MistyWisp follows this exact cadence because non-vanilla servers that delay risk being out-of-sync with the broader player base on wipe day.
What a wipe day looks like
- 15-minute in-game announcement starts at 17:45 UTC with a live countdown.
- Server saves, takes a backup, then runs Facepunch's update.
- A fresh seed is generated and written to config; the world regenerates from scratch.
- Server is back online typically within 5–10 minutes of 18:00 UTC.
BP wipes (rare)
Roughly once or twice a year, Facepunch announces a full blueprint wipe. When that happens we follow upstream — your unlocked recipes reset along with the rest of the player base. We never run an unscheduled BP wipe on our own.
