  1. When is wipe?

    First Thursday of the month at approximately 19:00 UK time.

    Wipe/update happens automatically as soon as the Oxide (mods) update becomes available. It takes about 5 minutes.

    You can scroll back through #svr-alerts to see previous update times if you're really bored.

    Pro Tip: wipe/BP dates are shown on the server description when you press <esc> - don't see it? Go to "Why do I see Amsterdam II" below.

  2. When is BP wipe?

    Every 2 months.

    If wipe is on an odd-numbered month (Jan, Mar, May etc) then it's a full BP wipe. On even-numbered months (Feb, Apr, June etc) it's map only and you keep your BPs.

  3. When does Raid Week start?

    The Friday before wipe, at 00:00 UK time.

    There's an on-the-hour game-chat announcement of the date/time when Raid Week starts. On the final day of the wipe we have FREE, UNLIMITED ROCKETS! It's hella fun.

  4. This server has no EAC, is it for hackers?

    EAC is not enabled here primarily for Linux players to join. Windows users are welcome too. Some players here have bans on their profiles - they have nowhere else to play so don't hassle them about it.


  5. How many players are here?

    We saw up to 45 players online at once during the Jan 2021 surge. It's down to more modest levels now but this is still the most populated non-EAC server available. Check out the stats page for full details.




  7. Why can't I craft [explosive/incendiary ammo, flamethrower, SAM site]?

    Secondary-flame items are blocked until Raid Week because they can be exploited to raid and damage PvE players.


  8. Why has my base decayed/disappeared?

    Twig (default building material) decays here. If you upgrade your building with a hammer it will not decay.

  9. Why do I see Amsterdam II when I press <esc>?

    It's the default screen for servers that don't have a description. You will see this if you connected via the in-game F1 console. If you connect via the Steam server list then you'll see the proper DeadlockDweebs banner/description - including the wipe date!

  10. How do I get PvE mode?

    Ask me to set it for you. You can switch between PvE and PvP whenever you like, within reason (you have to ask me each time).

  • Bonus question: Why is Jim ignoring my PM on Discord?

    Because you've probably asked a stupid question that you could easily find the answer to with a tiny bit of effort. Don't be willfully ignorant, it's annoying.

    If your question requires privacy eg. reporting cheating, then by all means PM me. Otherwise, ask in the Discord channels or in-game.
