March wipe is here! Here are the changes we have for this month:

• Player boats should now hold health for 3 days before wiping (same as your main base, but don’t forget to give it a whack with a hammer once in awhile).
• The Deep Sea will now only remain closed for 30 minutes at a time, then it will reopen for 3 hours.
• Player boats can now have electricity and other items deployed on them.
• The Deep Sea will now spawn on random sides of the map each time.
• Players can now swim into the Deep Sea as well as use smaller boats such as the rowboat or kayak.

Reformatted Deep Sea Panel to include minutes when time is over an hour. This is effective for both timers (open/closed).

A few updates were dropped in at the 5pm reboot:

• Building Workbench now supports boats. – Workbenches placed on boats ‘should’ now be accessible anywhere on the boat just like in your normal bases. However, since boats are mobile, this could cause some problems that we will be watching out for. If the problems do arise we may have to disable this feature on the boats.
• Backpacks – Updated to work with the upcoming March force wipe. So there shouldn’t be any disruption on wipe day.
• Personal Patrol Heli has also been updated to work with March force wipe.

We have also added a new Deep Sea status panel. Per our Discord poll, we have removed the CH47 and Supply Drop icons to make room for this one. Here is how the panel works:

– White – Deep Sea is closed. Time shown is time till it reopens.

– Green – Deep Sea is open. Time shown is time till it closes.

– Orange – Deep sea is closing soon and currently irradiated. Time shown is time till it closes.

– Busy – Deep sea is currently in the process of opening or closing.

Couple of updates loaded in today:

• Updated stacks plugin to fix issue where weapon attachments wouldn’t auto fall off when broken causing gun to stop firing. Broken items will now drop back into your inventory automatically.
• Updated Convoy – No player side changes should be noticed.
• Updated Armored Train – Train Helis should now spawn loot crates correctly. Bradleys should also spawn loot crates again. However sometimes Bradley crates may spawn on the ground. If the train is still moving, it will leave those behind.

The Wallpaper Planner Tool has a few new wall and floor papers now added to it. For more info about how to use this tool, see our Info and Commands page.

Reminder: It may take your client a little bit to download all the available papers into the planner when you first open it up. This depends on your Internet connection and Steam, not us.

• Our NPC plugin (that spawns monument NPCs) underwent a HUGE update. No ‘real’ changes to the NPCs right now, but more flexibility has been added that we may explore later (NPCs that drop landmines maybe???). Because this was such a huge rewrite, please be sure to let us know on Discord if you see any weirdness out of the NPCs so we can look into it.
• Several other updates to Convoy, Armored Train, and some backend plugins were also done to help performance a bit.

• The /sil and /silt commands have been manually patched to work with the new Artist Pack DLC items. However, keep in mind that when using /sil, the link to your image must start with https:// and not http://. http:// links will NOT work.
• Loot system has been manually patched to hopefully address some loot crates not despawning when emptied. This was preventing new crates from spawning back in, but “should” be fixed now. We will continue to watch for these, and you can also let us know on Discord if you find any empty crates.

Few updates this morning:

• Heli Refuel and Plane Crash events are back. Attacking NPCs should no longer cause RPC error disconnects.
• Backpacks has been updated to fix RPC errors with auto gather turned on. Gather has been re-enabled but you may have to turn it back on for each of your slots again.
• A fix for Raidable Bases has been loaded to once again keep non-teamed players out of raid events.

Thank you to those who reported issues. Remember, if you are having an issue, please let us know on our Discord via #admin-help.

Due to a bug in the backpack plugin involving the auto gather feature causing RPC disconnect errors, it has been disabled server wide while we wait for an update to be released.

Welcome to November 2025, err…December 2025….no wait….February 2026 and the long awaited/delayed Navel Update! Yes, today we finally get boat building and the deep sea! We also get (hopefully) new artist items (canvases, easels and such). So get ready to set sail and let your inner artist shine!

Here are some basics to keep in mind on the navel update side (this list was compiled on Staging Branch a few days ago, so they may be slightly different when live version drops):

• The deep sea area is dynamic. When it spawns, it will last for only 3 hours then it will close down for 1 hour before it reopens (these times are subject to change).
• The layout changes each time and building in it is not allowed.
• You can not fly into the deep sea, you must have a boat. (/rhib would get you one!)
• Boat building requires 4 main items. The boat building station (must be deployed out in the water), the boat building plan, a power source (sail or small boat engine), and a steering wheel.
  • Deploy the building station and it will open up an area for you to build.
  • Use the boat building plan to laydown your boat’s keel. Add walls, rooms, etc.
  • Add a steering wheel, sail or engine, and any other items you want (like an anchor maybe).
  • Finish the build at either the wheel or the building station. The building station should be refunded into your inventory.
  • Bon voyage! Your off and sailing!

Other changes this month:

• Vanilla Bradleys will no longer spawn at monuments. All Bradleys will be Easy to Nightmare levels now.
• Tugboats will no longer spawn at harbors. However, you can still use /tugboat to get one from Vehicle Licenses.
• We had to switch to a different cooking/smelting plugin as the old one is no longer maintained. Currently, the new one does not support the BBQ in the camper module or the BBQ side of the cooking workbench. We have asked the author to update support for those and hopefully we will see that added soon.

There were also SEVERAL other plugin updates. As always, please report any issues in #admin-help on our Discord.

ALSO: At the time of posting, Convoy and Armored Train updates are not yet available, so those events are currently offline. We will update those as soon as they are released.
