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.

too few wipes seen yet
Not enough wipes seen yet to tell when the next one is. Every server wipes at the monthly force wipe.
Players each hour, from the hour of the wipe. The latest peaked at 2, 1 hours in.
The current map
Thursday 1 October 2026, 01:57 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 2 players. 1 hours after the latest wipe, the crowd reached its peak.
Too few wipes are recorded for DARK 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 16 hours.

(Region code): The server sets no region code; ^z (Modded): Modded: plugins or changed settings alter the game; ^y (Carbon): The plugins run through Carbon: that is the tag list DARK publishes for the game's server browser.
