Rust Server Wiper
License Required
The Rust wiper requires the Rust Wiper license add-on. Without this license, the Rust wiper feature will not be available.
BadgerPanel includes a built-in wipe scheduler for Rust game servers. Users can automate map wipes and blueprint wipes on a recurring schedule without manual intervention.
Accessing the Wiper
- Navigate to your Rust server.
- Open the Wipes tab from the sidebar.
The wipe scheduler is available for servers using a Rust egg.
Scheduling a Wipe
- Click Create Wipe Schedule.
- Configure the schedule:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Descriptive name (e.g., "Weekly Map Wipe") |
| Schedule | Cron expression or day/time selector |
| Timezone | Select your timezone for accurate scheduling |
| Wipe Type | Map wipe, blueprint wipe, or both |
- Configure wipe options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Map Wipe | Deletes the map save file, generating a fresh world on next start |
| Blueprint Wipe | Clears all player blueprints |
| Map Seed | Optionally set a new map seed (leave blank for random) |
| Map Size | Optionally change the world size |
- Click Save.
How Wipes Work
When a scheduled wipe time arrives:
- The server is stopped (if running)
- The configured files are deleted (map saves, blueprint data)
- Server variables are updated if a new seed or size was specified
- The server is restarted
The wipe status and last wipe time are displayed on the Wipes tab.
Manual Wipes
To trigger a wipe immediately:
- Click Wipe Now on any wipe schedule.
- Confirm the action.
The wipe executes the same steps as a scheduled wipe.
Wipe History
The Wipes tab shows a history of past wipes including:
- Wipe date and time
- Wipe type (map, blueprint, or both)
- Status (completed or failed)
