Summary
Resetting player data on a Rust server can be necessary to fix game-breaking bugs, address server performance issues, or provide a fresh start for the community.
Resetting player data deletes all progress, items, and structures created by players on the server, and everyone starts from scratch.
It can benefit the server community by allowing players to begin anew with a level playing field.
