    Greetings from Germany.

    We have a server already up. Now i want to install the oxide mod and if i do that, the world is wiped. Do you know a way to install it without wipe the World or to restore it after installation?

    Thanks for youre help :),

    No wiping is done with Oxide. Any wiping that may happen would be from you, the game, or your host. It's still a good practice to backup though before updates.

    okay. i try it again. may be i did something wrong. thank god i have a backup ;)

    I used this manual:
    1. Shutdown your server, as it can't be modded while running.
    2. Install Oxide by downloading and extracting the latest version, overwriting when prompted. [Oxide for Hurtworld]
    3. Launch the server then close it after it has started. This creates the necessary folders for Oxide.
    4. Install your plugins (.cs, .lua, .js, .coffee, and .py files) in the "oxide/plugins" directory.
    5. Launch the server and let it fully load.
    6. Configure plugins to taste by editing the .json config files in the "oxide/config" directory.
    7. Reload any or all plugins to read the config file changes.
    8. Done!
    So i have to overwrite some existing files and i thought, i overwrite the saved world data.

    That's pretty much it. Oxide doesn't delete your world or wipe it.
