The count

Hourly average and peak, UTC.
Daily average and peak, UTC.
Embedded chart
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.
Too few wipes are recorded for THETESTER to establish a pattern. 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 26 days 18 hours.
These are the Rust Live Stats lists THETESTER fits: Live Rust community servers. These filters on the server list bring it up: Type: Community (not modded, not official) and No plugins at all; Group limit: 5 or more.

(Region code): The server sets no region code. Also in the tags: players on now, the queue, and when the world was made. You will find them at the top of this page.

Nothing in the name of THETESTER 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. Community is its browser category. Anti-cheat: VAC from Valve is off.
Nothing on THETESTER states a region. A server's stated location is what Rust Live Stats shows; the machine's actual position is not looked up. Connect to 20.29.188.146:28015.
