Autoupdate setting, does it really work?

Hey

Does anyone use the -autoupdate in your command line? Does it really update it?

 

ok thanks I will put it in my command line and give it a try

 

Keep in mind that it will update Rust but wipe Oxide out at the same time. If you have mods (or players) that are sensitive to that, you might want to not autoupdate and do both manually at the same time. In most cases a modless server is better than a server nobody can join because it's not been updated, but depending on the mods it's not always true.

 

it will keep all configs and I can just reinstall oxide correct

 

alright I own my own boxes and self host. If you guys need any space let me know

 

so we have no idea to keep map no wipe after official update right？

 

Most monthly updates include procgen changes that can slightly or dramatically change a map. A majority of time, it's impossible to get the same map you had... In this context, not wiping is pretty much impossible. There is at least one plugin out there that copy/pastes bases, so I suppose someone really motivated could expand from it and make a full world save of the items, sleepers, their inventory content, all building blocks, crates and their contents, etc. but that would be a massive undertaking.

One easy thing that could be done is something I saw on a server on legacy. They saved player inventories so that after a wipe you'd still have your full inventory. People would load up on stuff before wipe and start with that after, on a wiped map + wiped BP's....

That would be pretty easy to do I suppose.

 

copy/pastes can copy everything on map ？saved player inventories？ how ？ sorry noob here...

 

No, there is a copy/paste plugin for buildings (you can copy save a building and paste it somewhere else on the map). There is no plugin right now that can do all I listed in my other reply.

 

ok thanks..
