Progress Wipes
The Windrose developers have signaled that planned progress wipes are not the goal, but Early Access worlds still need backups.

- Developer stance
- No planned wipes
- Best practice
- Back up worlds
Windrose is an Early Access game, so players naturally worry about progress wipes. The developer stance has been that planned wipes are not the goal, but technical reality can always force changes.
What That Means
You can invest in a world, but do it with backups and patch awareness. Dedicated groups should back up saves before major updates.
Server Advice
If you host a persistent world, announce maintenance windows and preserve backups before experimenting with configuration changes.
