hi guys is this game like rust that u build a base and there's a wipe? or can I play singleplayer and just come back in after months and see my base still there? thanks for answers

I believe we were warned a long time ago by someone associated with the game team that at release there may be a requirement to wipe and redo. It was long enough ago that I can't find it though, and its possible it was just some player guessing -- anyone remember that?

regardless, so far its been no wipes at all after 2 fairly large updates and many smaller ones. You can't get new stuff in areas you have seen, like a mountain you explored before the update can't grow a mountain cave, but unseen areas were updated. Pretty cool to do it that way.

If you do have to wipe at release, that is arguably years from now.
