Rust map seed generated a completely different map

Hello. There was an update for rust today, so I ran steamCMD which had to update my server. I bet it did. But now with the same seed the server generates a completely different map. Anyone can explain this?

Just looked at your game server and you have:

 

"C:\sspanel\gameservers\rust\10925\RustDedicated.exe" +server.ip 1.2.3.4 +server.port 28016 +server.identity "experimental" -load +server.seed 836429099 +server.worldsize 4000 +server.saveinterval 30 +server.hostname "[EU/UK/FR] RustLight.com JUST WIPED! 06.05" +server.maxplayers 50 +rcon.ip 1.2.3.4 +rcon.port 28017 +rcon.password "XXXXXXX" -batchmode

 

I see your map seed is 836429099. Still having issues? You also only have one save in/server/experimental/save/Procedural%20Map_4000_836429099/

Thank You for your response. Yes the seed is 836429099 and if I remember right, It always was 836429099. I never changed it.

At first map looked like: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ns4uqqthhcp4qua/servermap1.png?dl=0

and just after I updated the server: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9oa9rdotacousjj/servermap2.png?dl=0

It's a completely different map.

Not sure why it would change, but the current map matches:

How were you able to get that first screenshot? You took that before the update?

 

I don't understand why there is only one folder in your /server/experimental/save/ folder :S

[martynas3336 0]

Yes it does match now.  I took that first screenshot from www.playrust.io just when I started the server (so yeah before the update).

 

Should there be more folders in /server/experimental/save/ ? If im correct that's the place for the save of my map. (when I do wipe i just delete those)

[Ryan Pennington 359]

If you do a map wipe only, then use that folder.

 

If you want a full wipe you would wipe the .db files in the /server/experimental/ folder as well.

Thank You. I am aware of that. Yet don't want to do blueprints wipe so I'm leaving those .db. It is just really strange that map generated completely different. Maybe i miss clicked something before or so. Hope this won't happen again.
