We are currently discussing internally about wipes and how often they should be. There’s a few reasons to wipe more frequently and typically we would only wipe between seasons.
Obviously sometimes seasons can last more than 2 months - and we want the game to remain fresh for all players. There are some things to take into consideration including, which progress to wipe and looking after our PVE players where wipes don’t really affect them as much.
We wanted to reach out and get some feedback on how wiping will look in the future. Firstly I’d like to explain the types of wipes.
Types of Wipes:
Soft-wipe
All servers (Except PVE) wiped of all structures and claims
All items from Global Stash removed
All items from Survivor Exchange removed
Characters Items Removed (Except PVE characters)
Currency Reset (Includes PVE Players)
Missions Reset
Hard-Wipe (Season Start Only)
All servers (Including PVE) wiped of all structures claims
Here are the options we have discussed internally:
Soft-wipe (except PVE) before the first weekend of every month
Soft-wipe (except PVE) before the first weekend of every second month
Hard-wipe Only (Keep wipes the way they are at the start of every season)
We have created a poll which we would like the community to vote on.

XERA: Survival Patch 1.0.7 Patch Notes
Greetings Survivors!
In this update we’ve done an audit on the base parts and have queued over 400,000 base parts from inactive clans for removal. This removal should help a lot with server performance as there are a lot of bases that are now inactive. Alongside this we have reduced the automatic reboot of servers to every 12 hours (from 24hr) to help with server performance. We’ve also fixed an issue with turrets going under the ground as well as other various exploits and bugs.
