Must I wipe at every force wipe?

Monthly updates can make old saves incompatible: plan a map wipe at each force wipe and follow Facepunch's announcements.

How to use Rust wipe planner?

A Rust server has to be wiped (map reset) at least at every Facepunch force wipe, which ships on the first Thursday of the month. This tool computes the upcoming dates in your time zone and prepares a cleanup script.

Choose the mode: monthly force wipe, weekly or biweekly wipe.
Enter your IANA time zone (e.g. Europe/Paris), day and time; check the force wipe UTC time on Facepunch's site.
If needed, set a BP wipe every N wipes, then read the calendar.
Copy the calendar for your community and adapt the deletion script before using it, with the server stopped.
