How could I schedule a wipe on X day, as I know we can click "reset mods or saves" and wipe the map there, but how I could I schedule this?

Apologies, you would need to use RCON commads via the schedule tab to do this, as the wipe function isn't a prebuilt function on that tab.
The console commands should be as follows:
server.seed [Put new seed here];
writecfg;
restart;
Note, for this to work though you have to turn off the auto fix files option on the SFTP tab, as restarting the server will revert back to the settings in the server tab otherwise. It should also be noted that doing this will make the server config and the Basic and Advanced tabs not match until you do a save from the console.
But bascially what this will do is force a world rebuild, using a new seed.
If you want to start fresh with the same seed, you simply would need to run the commands with a gap of time between them. Changing to a new seed first, and then changing back to the old seed.
Though as Rust always wipes on first Thursday, I can't imagine doing scheduled wipes above that.
