Rust is a game that encourages resetting the world and player data from time to time to keep things fresh. Many server owners may wish to configure an automatic wipe task for their servers which can wipe all map data, blueprint data, or both on a scheduled interval.
Fortunately, Shockbyte offers functionality for server owners to configure automatic map, blueprint, or full wipes on their Rust servers.
# Configuring Scheduled Wipes
To configure an automatic Rust wipe, you will need to create a new scheduled task on your control panel.
- Access your control panel.
- Navigate to the Tasks tab under Server Settings.
- Select the type of wipe you wish to schedule from the All Tasks section.
- Drag and drop the task into Scheduled Tasks.
- Under Name & Time, fill in the information required.
- Name: Create a name for your task.
- Date: Specify the date and time when you would like the task to begin.
- Set Interval: Automate the task to repeat every X amount of Hours/Days/Weeks
- Click on Schedule to save the task.
- The task will now appear under Scheduled Tasks.
To modify the task, click on the three dots and select Edit next to the task.
Congratulations, you have now successfully configured an automatic wipe schedule for your Shockbyte Rust server.
