How to Schedule Automatic Wipes on a V Rising Server

V Rising rewards persistence. Sink enough hours into a server and you become an unstoppable creature of the night, fully geared and impossible to dislodge. Fun for the veterans, less so for anyone who joins three weeks late. Server wipes exist to balance that out, and V Rising supports them natively.

Why Server Wipes Matter

In survival titles like Rust or V Rising, the earliest joiners tend to hoard the best gear, the best castle spots and the deepest experience. Newcomers see a wall they cannot climb, and engagement drops. A scheduled wipe resets the world, gives everyone the same starting line and brings the early-game tension back.

Wipe cadence varies by community. Some servers reset weekly to keep the chaos fresh, others stretch it to a month so progress actually feels meaningful. Neither is wrong, but skipping wipes entirely tends to favor whoever has the most free time on their hands. Pick a rhythm that suits your player base.

Built-In Wipe Settings

Many survival games need plugins or scripts to handle automated resets. V Rising bakes the feature into the base game, exposing two straightforward values:

• Reset Day: a fixed weekday on which the world will wipe. Setting this to Any disables the weekly reset.
• Reset Interval: the number of days between each wipe. Setting this to 0 turns it off completely.

You can combine them, use just one, or disable both. The game does not mind.

Configuring Wipes Step by Step

1. Open the HolyHosting control panel and log in.
2. From the main dashboard, press Stop to take the server offline. Wipe settings need a restart to apply cleanly.

1. From your panel menu, open the server settings.
2. Locate Reset Day and Reset Interval in the list and set them to whatever suits your community.

1. Return to the main panel page.
2. Press Start to bring the server back up with the new schedule.

That is the whole process. No config file edits, no SSH sessions, no extra tooling.

Final Thoughts

Wipes are a tool, not a requirement. If your community lives for long-term castle projects, leave them off and let people pour months into their bases. If the early game is the part everyone actually enjoys, schedule regular resets and watch the cycle repeat. Either setup can be changed at any time, so adjust as the community evolves.
