WIPE questions

[MatroX]

Hello, I’m new to the HWS server and I’m still learning about various server and RE mechanics.
I was looking for more information on how to prepare for the seasons WIPE, but I didn’t find much information beyond the basic topic. (Rules)

I wanted to know if there is any tutorial that explains the step by step or strategies to save your ships, bases, resources, etc.
I have some more latent questions but if anyone can answer or indicate a topic I would be very grateful!

1. Can I save an entire ship and respawn it after WIPE? Or do I have to disassemble all the blocks?

2. If you only save the blocks, is it better to save the entire blocks or the resources?

3. As for the credits, should I transfer everything to Elemental Bank which will be safe?

4. I want to become a PATRON to help the server but also to benefit myself between wipes. Is there any patron pack that you would recommend me?

Thank you very much.

Welcome to HWS @MatroX !

HWS is running for 7 years, so we have a lot of information here and there but also added features for the regular season wipes.

You can start here:

HWS Resets, Wipes & Settings

Server Full Wipe To follow the patch cycle of Eleon, adapt to new changes, create new content and make things overall more interesting we have a 3-month season cycle on HWS. In addition, full wipes must be done (on any decent server) to ensure the integrity and smooth runtime of Empyrion in Multiplayer. However, on HWS a full wipe does not mean the loss of everything for you. Your playtime on HWS is always rewarded and will be rewarded in the next season. What will be transferred HWS DNA …

Can I save an entire ship and respawn it after WIPE? Or do I have to disassemble all the blocks?

Saving a ship is not possible for many technical reasons. But yes, you can use our EGS Recycle feature, to convert it into items/blocks, which then can be put in your Orbital Cargo Drone (OCD). Check it out here:

Orbital Cargo Drone (OCD)

The Orbital Cargo Drone is an HWS exclusive feature and it is arguably the most useful tool available to players. With the Orbital Cargo Drone (OCD), a player can store their assets (some restrictions apply) in a virtual Cargo Box accessible via the HWS Connect interface or in-game commands. Items stored here are safe and they persist through wipes! (*see note at bottom of this section) Note: You have to log in for HWS Connect to actually update. Otherwise, things like Structure Commander mig…

OAM also helps (Orbital Auto Miner (OAM))

@MatroX

If you only save the blocks, is it better to save the entire blocks or the resources?

That depends on the OCD Categories and asking around the community, will give you a hint.

@MatroX

As for the credits, should I transfer everything to Elemental Bank which will be safe?

check the EB guide out here:

Elemental Bank (EB) / Market Zone

HWS has an active Economy and players are allowed to store their credits independently from the game. This convenient and valuable feature is called the Elemental Bank. Credits are very important because they allow players to purchase increasing levels of HWS features such as the Orbital Cargo Drone, Reputation Points from EGS, NoGuilty status, EGS Recycle Levels, Orbital Autominer upgrades, HWS Garage ships and more. The main branch of the bank is located in the Elemental Capital City (ECC)…

Basically yes, credits stored in the EB are save to a certain amount. If you level up your EB level, you can store more.
Helping us out financially, offers you a Keep credit package too.

That would be really appreciated!
You can check out the benefits of being a HWS Patron here:

You can get resources for example, which you can then put into your OCD, which helps you in the new season.

Have fun

there is also a handy guide for packing up at the end of a season. it’s old but mostly still relevant.

Season coming to a close

Can say it has been…interesting this season. Time was cut short. Perhaps for the better, we shall soon find out. For those that have not already prepared for this, there are quite a few tricks to make transitioning to another season much less painful. The blueprint factory is your frienemy. It is nice to have several ships at the ready. It is handy to have needed materials stocked where they have no limits. This can cause several issues as well. I have made a few different factory stuffers for …
