Official Rust servers

The table refreshes every five minutes. That means player counts, queues and wipe estimates can change while you are looking at them. If a number looks stale, reload the page to pull the latest sample.

Most do, but not all. The large majority carry the vanilla tag, and all of them leave gather rates unstated, which usually means 1x. A small number list themselves as modded, and that shows in the Tags column. Official means run by Facepunch or an approved partner, not necessarily untouched.

Rust's default team size is eight. A minority of official servers set a lower limit, often three or four, which changes how you play if you run solo or duo. The Group column shows anything below eight, and a blank cell usually means the default applies.

Facepunch's force wipe hits every map on the first Thursday of the month at 19:00 UK time. Beyond that, most official servers pick their own schedule, commonly every week or two on a set weekday such as Thursday, Monday or Friday. The next wipe estimate in the table is based on each server's actual history, so trust it over the published schedule.
