    I recently put up a new dedicated server. Everything seems to run fine, but then each morning I see buildings are missing. I did some searching and can see posts from about a year ago that this is standard alpha behavior. I just wanted to confirm that I didn't configure something wrong, causing the server to wipe each night. I have added a -load to my start string, but if I restart the server, it never seems to load the same map, and/or with the same assets.

    So, am I nubcakes, or is this the norm for now?

    Thanks for reading/replying!

    ps - my start string - names have been removed to protect the less than innocent. ;)

    -batchmode +server.hostname "name" +server.identity "friendlybunch" +server.port 28015 +rcon.ip x.x.x.x +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.password "mmmdonuts" -load -autoupdate

    Before you leave make sure that you run "server.writecfg" to write the running config into the start config.

    And: always close the server console by writing "quit", not by manually closing it. That was the reason why my server was always wiped.
