How to set the wipe timezone in Rust

Type wipetimer.wipetimezone "America/New_York" in the server console so the wipe timer uses New York time. Default is Europe/London.

wipetimer.wipetimezone

Sets the timezone the wipe timer uses, as a TZ database name like Europe/London.

wipetimer.wipetimezone "<tz>"

Examples

wipetimer.wipetimezone "America/New_York"

Use US Eastern time for the wipe timer.

Arguments

tzRequired: TZ database identifier.

What it does

Wipe day and hour are read in this timezone. Use a standard TZ identifier such as Europe/Berlin or America/New_York. If the value is empty or invalid, the server's own timezone is used.

The game's own description: The timezone to use for wipes. Defaults to the server's time zone if not set or invalid. Value should be a TZ identifier as seen here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones

Good to know

wipetimer.printtimezones lists the identifiers the server accepts.

Run it on your server

Type it in the server console or send it over RCON; admins can also use the F1 console in game. To keep a setting, run server.writecfg after changing it, or put it on the launch line as +name value.
