Scrapheap Vanilla

What Scrapheap is

Scrapheap is a solo-only vanilla server: one player, one base, no teams, no exceptions. It wipes every second Wednesday and the map is regenerated and playtested between cycles, which is why the listing shows it offline more often than most.

Solo-only changes the entire game. Raids are smaller, bases are simpler, and the thing that usually decides a wipe — a six-man rotating farm shifts — does not exist here.

What makes it different

• Genuinely solo. No team invites, no shared codes, no shared tool cupboards. The plugin blocks authorisation between accounts and the ban list is public.
• Two-week cycles. Long enough to build something real, short enough that nobody is running an unraidable base for a month.
• Map regeneration between wipes. The next seed is generated, walked and tested by staff before it goes live, so you are not spawning onto a map with a broken monument.
• No store at all. Not cosmetics, not queue priority, nothing. The server is funded by a small Patreon that buys nothing in-game.

The rules

1. Solo only. Working with another player — sharing a raid, doing a trade that is obviously an alliance, calling out positions in Discord — is a ban for both.
2. No cheating, scripts or macros.
3. Alt accounts as a base of stored loot count as teaming with yourself. Also a ban.
4. Group-limit reports need clips, not vibes.

Current status

The server is offline between wipes. The next cycle starts on the coming Wednesday at 19:00 UK time, and the new seed drops in Discord the evening before so people can plan a spawn.

How to connect

When the cycle opens, press F1 in Rust and run client.connect vanilla.scrapheap.io:28015. There is no queue priority to buy, so wipe day fills quickly — being in the Discord voice lobby a few minutes early is the only real advantage available.
