Rust's EU servers affected by fire in France

Facepunch Studios, developer of Rust, is expecting a "large amount of data loss" due to a fire breaking out at the OHV Datacenter in France.

The official Rust account tweeted the news earlier today:

Update:
25 of our EU servers remain offline due to a fire at OVH Datacenter in the early hours of this morning. Unfortunately, the fire destroyed SBG-2 building. We're expecting a large amount of data loss across the affected servers.

We'll share more news when we can.

OHVCloud stated that the fire broke out at 12:47am local time on March 10. The fire was contained, and no one was harmed, confirmed OHVCloud.

The Rust twitter account later confirmed a total loss of the EU servers affected by the fire, and that data will not be restored.

Update:
We've confirmed a total loss of the affected EU servers during the OVH data centre fire. We're now exploring replacing the affected servers.

Data will be unable to be restored.

The initial launch of Rust on console had been delayed due to Covid-19, however it has been confirmed that it will launch on Playstation 4 and Xbox One this spring.
