V2.5 World Wipe Protocols

Wiping a server is a delicate process. This guide covers how to reset your world for the V2.5 'Survival Revival' update while managing player expectations and data preservation.

When is a Wipe Necessary?

For the V2.5 update, a wipe is recommended if you are moving from Alpha 21/1.0 legacy saves to ensure new POI generation and trader quest stability.

Partial Wipes (The 'Soft' Reset)

If you want to keep player levels but reset the map:

• Delete the Region folder within the save.
• Keep the Player folder to preserve levels, skills, and inventories.

The 'Hard' Reset

Delete the entire subfolder under /Saves/[WorldName]/[GameName]. This will generate a fresh ecosystem based on your current serverconfig.xml settings.
