A new world comes every few hours on Pulse Testing, which means resets rather than wipes and no schedule to follow.
Pulse Testing and 1 other tracked server both publish a pulserust.net hostname, which points to one operator.
These are the Rust Live Stats lists Pulse Testing fits: Live Oceanic Rust servers and Modded Rust servers live now. Under the filters Region: Oceania; Type: Modded; Server tag: Weekly ^w, Modded ^z and Oxide ^o; Group limit: 5 or more; Wipe schedule: Weekly; Last wipe: In the last 3 days it appears on the server list.
The server browser reads gmrust (Game mode): The game mode is standard Rust survival; mp40 (Max players): 40 slots are available; ts16 (Group limit): Each team holds 16 at most; v2635 (Protocol): You need protocol 2635 on your game to get in; cs168909 (Build): The game build is 168909; ptrak (Networking): RakNet is the network layer — the game's standard one; $rau1 (Region code): The region code reads au1; ^w (Weekly): The wipe cycle is weekly; ^o (Oxide): Plugin framework: Oxide (uMod); ^z (Modded): Plugins or settings changes put this under Modded; OC (Oceania): Oceania is the browser listing for this server, which Pulse Testing publishes. Players now, queue length and world creation time are carried in the tags too, and appear at the top of this page.
