A custom map for wipe
- 1
Conjure a new map
Conjure the land in Crucible Heightmap, generate the world on top, and export one .map.
- 2
Finish it in Creator
Add the monuments, roads and prefabs, or let Rust's proc gen place them for you.
- 3
Test it on the new update
Load it on Crucible Local Server on the staging branch, which gets the update first, and walk it.
- 4
Host the .map file
Upload the .map somewhere with a direct download link and put that link in your server's level URL.
- 5
Wipe and restart
When the update lands, update the server, point it at the new map and restart.
Questions
When is the next Rust wipe?
On the first Thursday of every month, when Rust updates. The countdown above shows the next one in your own time.
What time does Rust wipe?
Around 7pm UK time, when the monthly update goes live. Each server wipes as it restarts onto the update, so some go a little later.
Do blueprints wipe too?
Not every month. The map wipes every month; blueprints wipe when Facepunch forces it or when the server owner chooses to.
Can I run a custom map on wipe day?
Yes. Make it in Crucible Heightmap, finish it in Creator, test it on Crucible Local Server, then host the .map file for your server.
