2Population

Figure 1 follows the players on the server at three scales: every five minutes over two hours, the hourly mean and peak over 48 hours, and the daily mean and peak over 90 days. Dashed uprights mark its wipes.

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).

4Rank

The server stands in the top 43% of all ranked servers. Rank is on player hours over the last seven days, and 1 is best; Figure 3 draws it day by day.

5Wipes

5.1Schedule

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

5.2History

Table 2: Every wipe recorded, newest first.
Wiped (UTC)PeakCrowdLastedBefore
No wipe seen yet.

Peak: the most players in the first 48 hours. Crowd: whether every day of the wipe kept at least half that peak, or the day it fell below. Before: players just before it wiped. A new world less than six hours after a wipe is a restart, not a wipe of its own.

Appendix AQuick answers

From the figures on this page.

Server details

A.1What is the location of localhost?

No region is published by localhost. The location displayed by Rust Statistics is the server's own claim, not a lookup of where the machine stands. You will find it at 81.196.217.24:28015.

A.2What is the reliability of localhost, and is it online?

Right now, localhost is offline, and the last time it was seen was 5 days 10 hours ago. Its uptime over the last full days (7 days) was 8%, with 13 of 168 hours online. The first record of it by Rust Statistics dates to 16 October 2026.

A.3What version of Rust is run on localhost?

localhost is running Rust network protocol 2635 and build 168909 on the Windows operating system. Joining requires your game to be on the same protocol, and Steam updates it automatically.

Wipe timing

A.4On what cycle does localhost wipe?

The record of localhost's wipes is not yet sufficient to establish its rhythm. Wiping is compulsory for every Rust server at the monthly force wipe, the next of which is Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC. The world currently in use was created 22 days 11 hours ago.

Player count

A.5How does localhost compare with other Rust servers in the rankings?

Ranked by player hours across seven days, localhost holds #9,576, in the top 43% of all ranked servers.

A.6How would you characterise the player activity on localhost?

localhost is not online now; 5 days 10 hours have passed since it was last seen. The peak over seven days is 1, against an average of 1.

Tags, lists

A.7What is the meaning of the tags on localhost?

gmrust (Game mode): Survival on standard Rust rules; mp2 (Max players): 2 slots are available; ts8 (Group limit): The team cap is 8, which is the game default; v2635 (Protocol): Your game must run protocol 2635 to connect; cs168909 (Build): The game build is 168909; ptrak (Networking): The network layer is RakNet, standard for the game; $r? (Region code): A region code has not been set: these are the tags localhost publishes, and the server browser reads them. Current players, queue and the world's creation time are among the tags as well, displayed at the top of this page.

A.8Where can localhost be found among the Rust Statistics lists and filters?

Rust community servers, measured are the Rust Statistics lists that localhost fits. It appears under the following filters on the server list: Type: Community (not modded, not official) and No plugins at all; Group limit: 5 or more.

Settings and map

A.9Which settings and rules are in force on localhost?

No gather rate appears in the name of localhost. No cap is given beyond the game's default of 8 players per group. The mode is survival, which means gather, build and raid: the standard game. Fighting and raiding between players are both permitted. The server browser lists it under Community. VAC is active: that is Valve's anti-cheat.

A.10What is the map for localhost?

A procedural map, generated by the game, is what localhost runs.

Connection

A.11What steps are required to join localhost?

Press F1 inside Rust to open the console and enter client.connect 81.196.217.24:28015. Alternatively, the Launch Rust and join control on this page launches the game via Steam and completes the connection.
