Tonight’s forced wipe isn’t just a reset, it’s a full-blown overhaul. Progression’s been reworked, sorting’s gone automatic, and horses now love syringes. Let’s break it down.

Progression Overhaul

Workbench crafting is now FREE. No scrap needed, just build and go.
Tech tree unlocks are cheaper across the board:
- Common: 15 scrap (was 20)
- Uncommon: 30 scrap (was 75)
- Rare: 60 scrap (was 125)
- Very Rare: 120 scrap (was 500)
Workbench tax is gone. No more 10%/20% scrap tax on Tier 1/2.

Blueprint Wipes Go Monthly (Official Servers Only)

Tonight’s wipe includes a full blueprint reset.
From then on, all official servers will wipe BPs monthly, alongside map wipes. Fresh starts, every time we at UK Rust will not be wiping every month.

Automatic Box Sorting

Powered storage adapters now support auto-sorting for boxes and barrels.
Modes include Alphabetical, Count, Condition, Category, and Custom.
Bonus toggles: reverse sort order and auto-stack combining.

Horse Buffs

Medical syringes now heal horses and give a temporary gallop/stamina boost.
Syringes can be used while riding. Saddle up, shoot up.

Backpack Integration

When your inventory’s full, gathered items now go straight to your backpack.
Applies to trees, nodes, corpses, collectibles, and plants.

Elevator Tweaks

Power input added to every floor.
If any floor is powered, the whole stack works.
Speed increased (3m/s → 5m/s), delay reduced (1s → 0.2s).

Food & Spoiling

Food no longer spoils in the Arctic biome.
Food stacks regardless of spoil timer.
Fish pie comfort buffed from 25% → 100%. Pie lovers rejoice.

Balance Changes

Military crates now spawn only in radtowns.
Research table costs match new workbench values.
Semi-auto pistol removed from waterwell vendor.
Blue card removed from Outpost vendor.
Jackhammer price increased.
M4 shotgun added back to hackable crates.
L96 and auto turret drop rates reduced.
No more healing while flying (as pilot).

Helicopter Flares & Missiles

Manual flare throws removed.
All player-controlled helis now have built-in flare systems.
Hot air balloons still dodge lock-ons by cutting engine (if server allows).
New cockpit indicators show flare status.

New DLC Tease

First item confirmed: RPG-7 skin.
More to come, watch staging for updates.

Wipe hits tonight. Servers will go down briefly for the update, then it’s fresh maps, fresh BPs, and a whole new meta. See you on the beach.
