Summary
11,861 servers are online with 95,405 players on them - 102% of what's normal for this hour. We judge the servers by our own reading of the public server list against what is normal for this hour of the week1, so a problem on one server, or on a player's connection, does not move the verdict.

1Method
Let n be the servers on the list now and n̄ the average for this hour over the last week. The verdict follows from their ratio,
Rust is up when r ≥ 85%, partly down from 50% and down below it. When our own reading is more than 25 minutes old, the note says so and passes no verdict.

3The last 48 hours
An outage shows as a sudden drop in Figure 1 that the players in Figure 2 follow; the force wipe as a dip and a quick recovery.
4The biggest servers
A big server showing offline while the rest are up is that server restarting or wiping, not Rust being down. Every server is in the server list [1].

Definition
A server is counted as up when its entry in the public server list answers a query at the most recent refresh. The refresh interval is five minutes. A server that fails one refresh is not declared down; the verdict waits for two consecutive misses, because a single missed reply is often a restart or packet loss.
The verdict
The page compares the number of servers currently answering, 11,861, with the median count observed at the same hour over the preceding seven days. The ratio of the two is the health index. Three bands apply: at or above 85% of the usual count, servers are up; between 50% and 85%, degraded; below 50%, an outage. Rust servers are up.
The numbers
- Servers answering now: 11,861.
- Players online now: 95,405.
- Comparison: the median for this hour of day, from the last seven days.
- Coverage: every public server the list returns, refreshed every five minutes.
Limits
A ratio below normal does not identify the cause. A planned update, a regional network fault and a Steam outage can produce the same reading. The index describes the population of servers, not any individual one. On force wipe day the count falls and recovers by design; the force wipe countdown explains the schedule.
If your game shows no servers
If this page reports servers up but your browser is empty, the fault lies between you and Steam. Restart Steam and Rust; clear server browser filters; check Steam's own status. On force wipe day, update the game before retrying. If one server is missing, its page records when it was last seen; the server directory lists all.
Appendix AQuestions
A.1Are Rust servers down right now?
The verdict at the top of this page is live. It compares the number of servers answering now, 11,861, with the median for this hour over the past seven days. At 85% or more of that median, servers are up; below half, an outage is recorded.
A.2Why does my game show no servers when this page says they are up?
The problem then lies with Steam or your own connection, not with Rust. Restart Steam and the game, clear any server browser filters, and check whether Steam itself is down. On force wipe day, update Rust before trying again.
A.3How current is the reading on this page?
The server list is read every five minutes, and the time of the last read is shown with the verdict. If that time is more than 25 minutes old, the page states that its reading is behind rather than presenting a stale figure as current.
