Nuke Building

Find every building a player owns, see where they are on the map, and permanently delete one building by its ID or all of that player's buildings at once.

01What it does

Nuke Building is for removing bases. Rule-breaking builds, a griefer's wall around a monument, a base blocking a road, abandoned stuff killing your entity count. You give Surge a building ID and it destroys the whole building in one go.

Most of the time you won't know the building ID, so there's a lookup tool that finds every building owned by a player.

02Finding a building ID

  1. 1Click Find Building ID.
  2. 2Type the player's full in-game name and click Search.
  3. 3Surge checks every building on the server and lists the ones that player owns, biggest first.

For each building you get:

  • The building ID and how many blocks that player has in it.
  • The world coordinates of the building's centre.
  • Use ID: fills that ID into the delete box and takes you back.
  • Show On Dynamic Map: opens the map with a pin on that building, so you can double-check you've got the right one before you delete it.
  • Shared with: shows up when other players also own blocks in that building.

There's also a Nuke All button at the top of the results if you want every one of those buildings gone. See below.

At the top it also tells you how many buildings were scanned in total, which is a nice sanity check that the lookup actually ran.

Good to know

Show On Dynamic Map needs the Dynamic Map system turned on for this server. If it's off, the map won't load.

03Deleting a building

  1. 1Type the building ID into Destroy a Specific Building (or use Use ID from the lookup).
  2. 2Click Delete.
  3. 3Confirm in the pop-up. You'll get a message once the building's gone.
Good to know

This is permanent. The whole building is destroyed and there's no undo, so check the ID (and the map pin) before you hit Delete.

04Nuking all of a player's buildings

When a player needs to be wiped off the map completely, you don't have to delete their bases one by one.

  1. 1Type the player's full in-game name into Destroy All Buildings for a Player and click Nuke All. You can also click Nuke All at the top of the Find Building ID results.
  2. 2Surge checks the server and tells you how many buildings that player owns, and how many of them are shared with other players.
  3. 3Confirm in the pop-up. A progress bar shows each building being removed.
  4. 4You get a message when it's done. If any building couldn't be removed (for example the server went offline halfway), the message tells you how many, and you can run it again.
Good to know

Shared buildings get destroyed too, even if other players helped build them. Check the Shared with lines in Find Building ID first if that matters.

Only one Nuke All can run per server at a time. It keeps going if you close the page, and the progress shows again when you come back.

05Tips

  • The ID box only accepts numbers.
  • A player can show up as an owner on more than one building. Small IDs with only a handful of blocks are often a stray wall or a little loot hut, not their main base.
  • If the search finds nothing, check the spelling of the name. The lookup needs the player's full in-game name.
  • The lookup, Delete and Nuke All all need your server to be online.
