July 2026 Force Wipe

July force wipe lands on Thursday, July 2. Here are the major changes that I think might be relevant to fellow server owners:

Apartment Complex Monument

  • Safe zone, except for apartments
  • 3 tiers of apartments can be rented by players for initial + daily scrap fees:
    • Includes bed, storage, cooking, T1 workbench
    • Penthouses also have a large furnace
    • Players can not place their own deployables
    • CachedDailyUpkeep convar controls daily cost
    • Everyone except renter, teammates, and robbers (see master key below) get ejected
  • Shops can also be rented by players for initial + hourly scrap fees
  • A single-use master key can occasionally be purchased and used to break into any room or shop:
    • Vendor location was Bandit but might get moved to Apartment Complex
    • Restock time might be 12 hours
    • Cost might be around 1000 scrap, subject to dynamic vendor pricing
    • Now purchasable from NPC in basement for fixed 1000 scrap with no restock delay or dynamic pricing?
    • Robber has limited time before being ejected
  • A special computer station can be used to see which rooms are occupied, plus an estimate of contained item value

Clan Table

  • Added as default BP
  • Functionality enabled by default
    • Except on hardcore
    • Server owners will be able to disable functionality
  • Allows creation+management of clan, banner, announcements, members
  • Includes some kind of scoring/leaderboard system
  • Names over clan members will be purple
  • Clans may or may not carry over across wipes (mixed messages from devs about this)

Plugins/Modding

  • Breaking changes have been made to the game's RPC API, which will require numerous plugins to be updated:
    • Custom Vending Setup already has an update
    • I posted unofficial updates for Image Library and Zone Manager on their umod forums, just in case
    • Nivex's discord has a preliminary fix for CopyPaste, but I assume the umod community will put out an official update
  • Nivex is looking into Apartment Complex options for True PVE

Procgen Maps

  • Apartment Complex appears to spawn under the following conditions:
    • Non-jungle Tier 0 areas
    • Map size 3000+
  • Minimum map size for all labeled monuments may be increasing from 3500 to 3700?

Softcore Gamemode

  • Boom raiding blocked except during 6-9PM local server time:
    • Eco-raiding and twig/deployable destruction still allowed
    • TCs do not block raids until 1 hour after placement
    • MLRS only usable during raid window
  • Gather rate increased to 2X on tress, ores, corpses, collectibles:
    • gamemodesoftcore.gather_rate convar controls this, and only works in softcore mode
    • Farmed plants excluded
