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.
At their busiest, its recent wipes averaged 1 players. The crowd on the latest wipe peaked 26 hours in.
No next wipe can be predicted for Public, which wipes at irregular times. Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC is the next monthly force wipe, and no Rust server is spared it. The world you are playing on was built 13 days 23 hours.
On Rust Live Stats, Public is listed under Live Rust community servers. Under the filters Type: Community (not modded, not official) and No plugins at all; Group limit: 5 or more; Last wipe: In the last 2 weeks it appears on the server list.
gmrust (Game mode): Survival here follows standard Rust; mp500 (Max players): 500 slots are available; ts8 (Group limit): 8 per team at most, the game's default setting; v2635 (Protocol): The server runs protocol 2635, so match that version to join; cs168909 (Build): The game build is 168909; ptrak (Networking): RakNet is the network layer — the game's standard one; $r? (Region code): Region code: none set: that is the tag list Public publishes for the game's server browser. Players now, queue length and world creation time are carried in the tags too, and appear at the top of this page.
Public reads offline at the moment; the last sighting was 5 days 23 hours ago. Averaged over seven days: 0 players.

Nothing in the name of Public states a gather rate. No custom limit is set, so groups hold the default 8 players. It runs survival, the standard game: gather, build, raid. Fighting and raiding between players are allowed. You find it under Community in the server browser. VAC is enabled: Valve's anti-cheat.
There is no region from Public. A server's stated location is what Rust Live Stats shows; the machine's actual position is not looked up. You can reach it at 176.61.162.189:28035.
The setup on Public is Rust network protocol 2635 and build 168909 with Windows. Joining requires the same protocol on your game; Steam takes care of updating it.
