Server wiping every restart

Wiped my server, updated, usual procedures during a big update. However I changed the command line to add "wiped" in the server name and changed max players and when I start the server again it wipes. Scared to restart the server again and see if it wipes again, any fixes?

 

Well that's the thing, I had to delete some files to actually "wipe" my server for the first time. Every tutorial said go to the "save" folder but there was none.

Clarify a bit please

 

Oh okay, however when the server was "wiped" players started to get stats and resources. I normally restarted the server without editing any files but the command line and it wiped again. Worried if I restart again now it will wipe again?

 

Any thoughts?

 

From what I've seen, even without a seed, size, salt, or map type, it tends to load the same map.

My guess is you don't have a save interval set, you may also be forcefully shutting down your server.

Add the following to your start.bat ir it isn't already present.

Code:

+server.saveinterval "300"

You can change they save interval if you'd like, however I'd leave it at 300 seconds.

Make sure to type "save" in console before a forced stop, restart automatically saves. If you'd like to set the restart time instead of waiting 300 seconds specify a number after the command.

Example:

Code:

restart 10
