What to expect from Rust's June Force Wipe?

General updates

With the upcoming force wipe, players can first and foremost expect the removal of all their saved blueprints across different servers in the game. All official, community, and some modded servers will wipe out their storage, and as such, players will have to restart their grind once again.

Alongside blueprints, all maps in the game will also be wiped out. Server owners will procedurally generate new maps to pave the way for the upcoming update, allowing players to have a fresh start once they log into the game.

Box snapping

The latest Rust Force Wipe will add box snapping to the game. With this feature, players will be able to easily place large wood boxes, small boxes, and barrels in their bases. The items will automatically snap to the closest wall, allowing snug placement. While it might seem like a minor change, it definitely isn't.

Automatic box snapping will allow players to improve their bases' storage capacity. Each triangle and square floor can now be utilized to hold more boxes without worrying about placement. This will enhance the effective storage available in bases, especially for those players who like to live in small, tanky bases.

Party UI update

The entire Party UI will be seeing some major changes with this update. Previously, the UI only allowed players to add a maximum of eight players to one team. This was a major hindrance for larger groups, and they would have to rely on external communication platforms to stay as a cohesive unit.

However, with the changes that are coming to the Party UI in Rust, players will be able to add more than 8 players in a team. This would improve teamplay, communication, and cohesion of larger groups.
