Vanilla Rust servers

What the columns measure

1. Population: players connected at the last refresh, which happens every five minutes. A figure is a point sample, not an average.
2. Next wipe and Last wipe: taken from the schedule each server publishes. A published schedule is a statement of intent; a server may wipe on its own rhythm regardless.
3. Region: where the server is hosted. A European server is busiest in the European evening.
4. Group: the team limit the server enforces. The default is 8.

All servers wipe at the monthly force wipe. See the force wipe countdown for the next one. Sort by Next wipe to find servers due soon; sort by Rank to find those with the most consistent population over the past seven days.

The table's default order is busiest first, by the latest population sample. Rank is a separate measure: it weighs population hour by hour over seven days, so a server that fills every evening ranks above one that spikes only after a wipe. On a vanilla list this separates a stable home from a wipe-day burst. Neither figure says anything about a server's rules, its moderation, or how it plays. The tag is the only claim being tested here, and it is tested by exclusion: a server is listed if it publishes Vanilla and does not publish Modded. If you want a faster rate, see 1.5x servers or 2x servers; the full directory is at the server directory.
