Questions
When is the next force wipe?
Force wipe runs on the first Thursday of every month, timed to the game update. The exact hour is held on the force wipe countdown page, in UTC. Every public server is expected to wipe at that point.
What is the difference between a map wipe and a blueprint wipe?
A map wipe clears the world: bases, loot and everything built on it. A blueprint wipe also clears what you have learned to craft. Most servers map-wipe on their own schedule and hold blueprints until force wipe, or never. The server page states which it does.
What time do servers wipe?
Owner-set, usually an evening in the server's home region. The heatmap above shows the busiest hours in UTC, so you can plan around them. UK time is UTC in winter and UTC+1 in summer; US Eastern is UTC-5 in winter and UTC-4 in summer.
