Abstract

We describe the public Rust server SoftNet, reached at 85.49.251.3:28015 and hosted in EU. At the last check it held 0 of 100 places, against a seven-day mean of 0 and a peak of 1¹. It ranks #8,023 of all servers, the top 36%, and #2097 in EU. It last wiped 26d ago on a published monthly schedule; the next wipe is expected Thursday 5 November, 19:00 UTC, the force wipe.

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 36% of all ranked servers, the top 72% in EU. Rank is on player hours over the last seven days, and 1 is best; Figure 3 draws it day by day.

5.1Schedule

The next wipe is expected Thursday 5 November, 19:00 UTC, in 7d 22h. The force wipe.

5.2History

Table 2: Every wipe recorded, newest first.

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.

About the server

A.1Is the performance of SoftNet smooth?

The server fps averaged 63 over the last 48 hours, never dropping below 23. Buildings, deployables and all other world objects counted together reached a maximum of 114,630 entities. Its highest memory usage was 3,962 MB. Players experience lag when fps is low and the entity count is rising.

A.2What location does SoftNet have?

The EU tag places SoftNet in Europe, as it lists itself. Where a server says it is: that is what Rust Statistics shows, without looking up where the machine stands. You will find it at 85.49.251.3:28015.

A.3What is the reliability of SoftNet, and is it online?

At the present moment, SoftNet is online. Based on the uptime it reports, the last restart occurred about 2 days 20 hours ago. The server was up 100% of the time over the last 7 full days, 168 of 168 hours. Its first appearance in Rust Statistics's records is 7 October 2026.

A.4What is the Rust version for SoftNet?

Rust network protocol 2635 and build 168909 is the version that SoftNet runs, on Linux. Joining requires your game to be on the same protocol, and Steam updates it automatically.

Wipe schedule

A.5On what cycle does SoftNet wipe?

The estimate of SoftNet's next wipe comes from the force wipe. On Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC the force wipe occurs, and that is when every Rust server, including this one, next wipes. 26 days 17 hours have passed since the current world was generated. The tags show that the server wipes monthly.

Player count

A.6What is the rank of SoftNet among Rust servers?

The seven-day player-hours ranking gives SoftNet #8,023, in the top 36% of ranked servers and #2,097 in Europe.

A.7At what level does SoftNet operate in terms of players?

At this moment 0 players are on SoftNet, which has 100 slots in total. Averaged over the last seven days: 0 players; the same period peaks at 1. Averaging 1 players, 00:00 UTC was the busiest hour of the past 48.

Tags, lists

A.8By whom is SoftNet operated?

Most likely run by the same operator: SoftNet and 1 other server we track, both publishing a sftn.eu hostname.

A.9How should the tags on SoftNet be interpreted?

gmrust (Game mode): Rust survival, in its standard form; mp100 (Max players): It offers 100 slots; ts8 (Group limit): 8 per team, the value the game sets by default; v2635 (Protocol): The game protocol is 2635; your client must match it to join; cs168909 (Build): This server runs game build 168909; ptrak (Networking): RakNet is the network layer here, as it is by default in the game; $r? (Region code): The region code is unset; ^m (Monthly): A monthly wipe cycle applies, timed to coincide with Facepunch's force wipe; ^v (Vanilla): Rates, kits and rules are unchanged from the game Facepunch ships; ^t (Tutorial on): The tutorial from Facepunch is open to new players here; EU (Europe): The server browser lists this server under Europe: these are the tags SoftNet publishes, and the server browser reads them. Also in the tags: players now, the queue, and when the world was made; these appear at the top of this page.

A.10Where can SoftNet be found among the Rust Statistics lists and filters?

The Rust Statistics lists that SoftNet fits are: Rust servers with the tutorial tag, European Rust servers, Rust community servers, measured and Vanilla Rust servers. You will find it on the server list filtered by: Region: Europe; Type: Vanilla, Community (not modded, not official) and No plugins at all; Server tag: Monthly ^m, Vanilla ^v and Tutorial on ^t; Group limit: 5 or more; Wipe schedule: Monthly.

Settings and map

A.11What are the settings and rules that govern SoftNet?

Its name carries no gather rate for SoftNet. No cap is given beyond the game's default of 8 players per group. Listed as survival, the game mode is gather, build and raid: the standard game. Fighting and raiding between players are both permitted. It is a community server, as the browser's Community listing shows. By its own label, vanilla, rates, kits and rules are unchanged from the game Facepunch ships. VAC is active: that is Valve's anti-cheat.

A.12What is the map for SoftNet?

Size 4,500 and seed 367222608 define the procedural, game-generated map on SoftNet. Size and seed being equal, the map is the same, so it can be viewed on RustMaps from this page.

Connection

A.13How do you connect to SoftNet?

Press F1 inside Rust to open the console and enter client.connect 85.49.251.3:28015. Alternatively, the Launch Rust and join control on this page launches the game via Steam and completes the connection.
