The current map
Sunday 25 October 2026, 00:01 UTC
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 1 players. Peak population on the latest wipe came 20 hours after it.
Too few wipes are recorded for Vanilla 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 5 days 1 hours.
