48 hours: hourly readings. 30 to 90 days: one point a day, with the day's average and lowest fps, most entities and most memory. From asking the server directly; low fps and a climbing entity count mean lag.

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. A new world less than six hours after a wipe is a restart, not a wipe of its own.
The average peak across its recent wipes is 0 players. Peak population on the latest wipe came 0 hours after it.
The record holds too few of cave testing's wipes to reveal its rhythm. Every server in Rust, this one among them, wipes at the monthly force wipe; Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC is the next. This world dates from 26 days 4 hours.

(Region code): No region code is set here; ^o (Oxide): Plugin framework: Oxide (uMod); ^z (Modded): Modded: plugins or changed settings alter the game, which cave testing publishes.

The name cave testing carries no gather rate. No custom limit is set, so groups hold the default 8 players. It runs survival, the standard game: gather, build, raid. Fighting and raiding between players are allowed. Plugins or settings change the game, and the browser lists it as Modded. Plugins run here: Oxide. Anti-cheat: VAC from Valve is off.
A procedural map, generated by the game, runs on cave testing.
Nothing on cave testing states a region. Where the machine stands is not checked by Rust Live Stats; only the location a server states is shown. You can reach it at 104.193.180.33:25565.
cave testing operates on Linux with Rust network protocol 2635 and build 168909. Steam updates it for you, but your game needs the same protocol to join.
