Wipe Updates for July, 2025
Welcome to July's wipe!
We have added in some new events, armor, a modded shotgun, industrial recycler capability, and some QoL changes (see all of them below). Just a reminder, July is a long 5 week wipe, so we will have an entity wipe and map change on the third Thursday of the month (July 24th). You will keep your PJs/quarries and blueprints (it will just be a map wipe).
Firework design contest this wipe, details here: https://relicpve.com/forums/topic/best-custom-firework-design-2025/
New stuff!
- -- New event. Cobalt Scrap Transport unit will be transporting scrap on the roads. Heavily guarded so be careful!
- -- Drones are now patrolling above Launch Site and Missile Silo. They are hostile and will attack if they sense you near.
- -- New legendary armor (world drop from Darkzone NPCs & raidbases). Vengeance Facemask and Vengeance Chestpiece. These pieces of armor will pretty much turn you into a tank plus immunity to some elements.
- -- A new armor set (Vanguard) is now being sold at Outpost (Ezra in the gunsmith building). He will give you details on the stats.
- -- The Breacher (a modified double barrel shotgun with 8 rounds of stopping power) is now being sold by Holt at Outpost.
- -- New daily quest at Arbington, Hunter’s Instinct (kill 10 wild animals) and Airspace Denied (kill 20 drones). These quests can be completed every 24 hours.
- -- Personal recyclers have been updated to accept industrial automation.
QoL Changes!
- -- When falling through the map (dev car, cars & minis clipping through, etc.) items are instantly sent to your death location instead of falling through the world.
- -- Removal tool (/remove) now refunds items back to you when removed.
MVP this month goes to (access to /ch47): Stormgeald, Noot Noot, Dakka
Hey folks,
We had a bad restart on Relic Main this morning at 6AM EST. Oxide failed to load when the server booted up and started without any of our plugins active. Because of this we reverted to a server backup from right before the server restart (5:46 AM EST).
I apologize for the inconvenience if you played the server after the restart this morning from 6:15 AM to 9:35 AM EST. Not having any of our plugins loaded, as you could imagine, would allow full access to bases, players being killed, our modded weapons/armor glitching out, and more nasties. This is why we reverted to a backup from right before server restart.
What happened?
Bad timing. Our servers have a startup script that will update the server and oxide (our plugins) during restart. This script has a 10 second delay between updating Rust and updating oxide. Our server monitor checked to see if the server was online at 6AM EST, and that too has a delay of a couple minutes (to give grace if the server is starting during that time). I have our server monitor run on some odd times to keep this from happening but it fell on bad timing this restart.
Turn of events:
Server shutdown at 6AM EST > couple seconds later server monitor pings server to see if it's online > fails/offline (starts delay) > 6:02AM server starts to update > completes update > server begins to update oxide > server monitor rechecks to see if server is online, fails > server force starts, canceling oxide update > server starts without oxide.
Fix?
I increased the delay on the server monitor to ten minutes to allow time for the server to update (both game and oxide) and begin it's startup sequence uninterrupted. Additionally a couple safeguards in our restart script.
My goal is to keep the server online and running. I apologize for the inconvenience of the rollback and the issue at hand. Please create a ticket if you need assistance.
