1Summary statistics
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 70% 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
| Wiped (UTC) | Peak | Crowd | Lasted | Before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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.

The game's server browser reads gmrust (Game mode): Survival on standard Rust rules; mp50 (Max players): It offers 50 slots; ts8 (Group limit): 8 per team, the value the game sets by default; v2634 (Protocol): Joining requires the same game version: protocol 2634; cs167781 (Build): Build 167781 is the one running; ptrak (Networking): The network layer is RakNet, standard for the game; $r? (Region code): No region code is set, which test 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.
A.8Where can test be found among the Rust Statistics lists and filters?
Rust community servers, measured are the Rust Statistics lists that test fits. You will find it on the server list filtered by: Type: Community (not modded, not official) and No plugins at all; Group limit: 5 or more; Last wipe: In the last 2 weeks.
