Smartest way to wipe?

Hey guys, Im new to the whole server owner thingy.
Since there is a forced wipe coming up what should i do?

Do all plugins need to get updated?

Im hosting trough fragnet so i dont think i can ''update'' it not sure tho, There is however an option to ''Wipe world''
And option ''Steam Update''


Sorry for being a pain but i wanna be ready for tonight =D

 

Not all plugins need an update, but every now and then some do break and you'll need to keep a close lookout for console errors. Although I've never used Fragnet, I'm guessing by the way it sounds that you should 1. Shut down the server 2. Hit "Steam Update" and 3. "Wipe World" as every update of the first month is a forced wipe -- both blueprints and map.

 

Thanks very much mate And to wipe blueprints in like a week delete the whole server identity?

 

@Pascal 6 Keeping the user folder will retain blueprints and the best way to wipe is to manually delete everything in your server identity except for your cfg folder.

With the upcoming update blueprints will be stored in a SQL database which will make it easier to delete said data. I'd wait on that just to be certain.

 

@Pascal 6 I'm currently hosted through Fragnet, This is my routine.

Normal Wipes

1. Shutdown Server
2. Wipe World
3. Steam Update
4. Update Oxide Mod
   - If Rust.IO needs to be updated --> Mod Manager -> Uninstall -> Install

BP Wipes

1. Shutdown Server
2. FTP into server or use the File Manager
3. Navigate to /server/fragnet/
4. Delete "player.blueprints.1.db"

Map Seed Changes

1. Command Line Manager -> Custom Commandlines -> Edit
   Under +server.seed put in a random number or find a map you like on Map Gallery - Rust:IO
2. Save

Changing the seed number wipes the map and generates a new map
DO NOT MESS WITH THE COMMAND LINE MANAGER WHILE THE SERVER IS RUNNING YOU WILL CORRUPT YOUR SAVE FILE!

 

Yeah im using RustAdmin to change name when its running anyway cause it dont have to restart all working smoothly getting great service at fragnet tbh wipe went smooth aswell
Except for the map, Couldnt find a map since playrust.io gallery isnt correct anymore after the update one day i hit more then 10 people online tho ^^

 

playrust.io gallery is correct, it may not show the new monuments but those will be put in when you load the map. I'm using map 421 right now and it put in the new water monuments this wipe just fine. I thinks it weird how they are displayed on that site though, the 4000 / 421 for example is 4000 as the size and 421 is the map seed

 

Well if you look at this map My Rust server's map - Rust:IO , I whas trying to get that map but whenever i use that map and seed ill get a whole diffrent map since the last update, The gallery not working for me ive tryed over 20 maps all incorrect. But when i check my servers map it does show the correct one

 

That looks like one of those barren maps, try a different map

 

Wasnt barren, Stilll tho the maps are all correct but all rad towns / roads are all wrong So there is no way for me right now to pick a map Pretty annoying having to check how the map looks like everytime since im low pop and small map
