3Performance

We query the server directly for its frame rate, entity count and memory4. Low frames per second and a climbing entity count are what players feel as lag (Figure 2).

5.1Schedule: too few wipes seen yet

Not enough wipes seen yet to tell when the next one is. Every server wipes at the monthly force wipe.

(Region code): No region code is set; ^m (Monthly): Facepunch's force wipe sets the schedule: wipes take place once a month; ^v (Vanilla): Nothing is changed from Facepunch's release: rates, kits and rules are as shipped; ^o (Oxide): Oxide (uMod), a plugin framework, runs on this server; ^z (Modded): The game is altered by plugins or settings, so it is listed as Modded; OC (Oceania): In the server browser it is filed under Oceania, which Rust Server publishes as its tags. Also in the tags: players now, the queue, and when the world was made; these appear at the top of this page.
