I am very new on Rust server and this is my first forced wipe scenario.

So what do I need to do today?

I have setup my server with LGSM and I know there is a wipe command but I think this will not help me today?!
Do I have to reinstall Oxide/Mods after the wipe?

So what I think to do is:
- stop the server
- start updates
- (reinstall mods?)
- start the server

Is there something I need to watch for - maybe backup files or something expect mods?

u dont need to reinstall mods
stop server - do the update then update oxide and then start server
its an easy process.

Thank you very much.
That sounds easy indeed ;)

What I always do is stop the server, Then look at servers on the Rust IO server page and see which server maps have been updated then choose one I like , I write the seed number down, Open my server dashboard and open commandline manager and enter seed number in "map seed" section, I then update Steam, Then Oxide, Then Rust IO and restart the server.
Its best to use the "watch" option on plugins you are using as patch time is usually the time the plugins are updated depending on what changes Facepunch has made to the game.
