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, measured since 22 Oct. 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 Rust Bucket's wipe history is too thin on record to show a rhythm. Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC is the next monthly force wipe, and no Rust server is spared it. 19 days 20 hours have passed since this world was generated.
On Rust Live Stats, The Rust Bucket is listed under 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.
The server browser reads gmrust (Game mode): Standard survival, in the Rust style; mp5 (Max players): Slots: 5; ts8 (Group limit): Team cap: 8, which is the game default; v2635 (Protocol): The server runs protocol 2635, so match that version to join; cs168909 (Build): This server runs game build 168909; ptrak (Networking): RakNet is the network layer — the game's standard one; $r? (Region code): The server sets no region code, which The Rust Bucket publishes. Players now, queue length and world creation time are carried in the tags too, and appear at the top of this page.

Nothing in the name of The Rust Bucket states a gather rate. The default applies: 8 players to a group. It runs survival, the standard game: gather, build, raid. Fighting and raiding between players are allowed. The server browser lists it under Community. VAC is enabled: Valve's anti-cheat.
A procedural map of 3,000 with seed 42069, generated by the game, runs on The Rust Bucket. RustMaps shows it from this page, since equal size and seed give an equal map.
No region is published by The Rust Bucket. The location shown on Rust Live Stats is the one a server gives, not a lookup of the machine's position. 23.109.125.23:25731 is its address.
Server fps averaged 214 over the last 48 hours, with a low of 182. Buildings, deployables and everything else in the world added up to a maximum of 50,610 entities. The highest memory usage was 3,546 MB. Lag, as players feel it, comes from low fps and a rising entity count.
The Rust Bucket operates on Linux with Rust network protocol 2635 and build 168909. Steam updates it for you, but your game needs the same protocol to join.
Right now The Rust Bucket is online. About 2 days 22 hours ago is when it last restarted, according to its uptime. 143 of 144 hours were online in the last 6 full days, giving 99% uptime. The first sighting by Rust Live Stats was on 22 October 2026.
