How to Wipe or Seed Your Rust World Print

In this guide, I’ll show you how to perform a Rust server wipe or change your map seed using the built-in Wipe Server tool in your FinnishHost Game Panel. This tool makes it fast and safe to reset your server between wipes or updates.

Step 1: Stop the Server

Before wiping, stop your Rust server to avoid any file conflicts. In your FinnishHost panel, click Stop and wait for it to fully shut down.

Step 2: Open the Wipe Tool

From the left menu, select Wipe Server. This opens the wipe configuration window with several options:

• Wipe map? – Deletes the current world map and forces a fresh generation on restart.
• Use random seed – Automatically generates a random new map seed.
• Wipe players and blueprints? – Removes player data, inventories, and blueprint progress.
• Additional files/folders to wipe – Lets you manually list extra files or plugin data to delete.
• Seed list – Enter a custom seed number if you want a specific map layout.
• Remove used seed – Removes the last used seed from your history (optional).
• Update server – Checks for the latest Rust update before restarting after the wipe.

Step 3: Configure Your Wipe

Choose the options you want:

• For a full wipe, enable Wipe map and Wipe players and blueprints.
• For a map-only wipe, select Wipe map only.
• If you want a fresh world seed, enable Use random seed or type a number in the Seed list.

Step 4: Execute the Wipe

When ready, click Execute. TCAdmin will delete the selected data and prepare your server for a clean restart.

Step 5: Start and Verify

Once the wipe completes, click Start to launch your server again. Open the Web Console and look for messages like:

Generating procedural map of size 4000 with seed 12345

This confirms the new map has been created successfully.

Tips

• Wipe schedules vary — most servers wipe monthly or after major Rust updates.
• Keep a backup before a full wipe if you may want to restore old data later.
• To keep blueprints, uncheck Wipe players and blueprints.

Notes

Once you execute a wipe, all selected data is permanently deleted. Make sure to back up any files you want to keep before starting the process.
