Daily average and peak, UTC.
Embedded chart
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.

Coming up · wipe schedule
Not enough wipes seen yet to tell when the next one is. Every server wipes at the monthly force wipe.
This server has not put up a new map since the desk started watching it.
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.
Too few wipes are recorded for Friends Server to establish a pattern. Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC is the next monthly force wipe, and no Rust server is spared it. This world dates from 26 days 15 hours.

Fighting and raiding between players are allowed. You find it under Community in the server browser. VAC is enabled: Valve's anti-cheat.
A procedural map, generated by the game, runs on Friends Server.
