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.
The record holds too few of Sludgefest's wipes to reveal its rhythm. On Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC the monthly force wipe arrives, and every Rust server wipes with it. The world you are playing on was built 8 days 4 hours.

The map on Sludgefest is procedural, made by the game itself.
Nothing on Sludgefest states a region. The location shown on Rust Live Stats is the one a server gives, not a lookup of the machine's position. Connect to 174.20.162.154:28015.
Rust network protocol 2634 and build 167781 on Windows is what Sludgefest runs. Steam updates it for you, but your game needs the same protocol to join.
