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.
Recent wipes on this server averaged a peak of 2 players at their busiest. The crowd on the latest wipe peaked 7 hours in. Half the peak was held until the next wipe in 100% of its recent wipes.
Too few wipes are recorded for The Thunderdome to establish a pattern. Every server in Rust, this one among them, wipes at the monthly force wipe; Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC is the next. The world you are playing on was built 28 days 3 hours.

(Region code): The server sets no region code; ^o (Oxide): Plugin framework: Oxide (uMod); ^z (Modded): The game changes here through plugins or settings, so it is Modded: that is the tag list The Thunderdome publishes for the game's server browser.

The server browser files it under Modded: plugins or settings alter the game. Oxide plugins are in use. Anti-cheat: VAC from Valve is enabled.
The Thunderdome uses a procedural map, which the game generates.
Nothing on The Thunderdome states a region. A server's stated location is what Rust Live Stats shows; the machine's actual position is not looked up. 174.56.227.165:49183 is its address.
The setup on The Thunderdome is Rust network protocol 2634 and build 166494 with Windows. Joining requires the same protocol on your game; Steam takes care of updating it.
