The count

Every five minutes, from the Steam server list.
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. 34 days 21 hours have passed since this world was generated.

The name THETESTER carries no gather rate. No custom limit is set, so groups hold the default 8 players. It runs survival, the standard game: gather, build, raid. Raiding and player combat are both permitted. Modded is its browser category, where plugins or settings change the game. Carbon plugins are in use. VAC is off: Valve's anti-cheat.
There is no region from THETESTER. Where the machine stands is not checked by Rust Live Stats; only the location a server states is shown. You can reach it at 52.157.33.129:28015.
Rust network protocol 2633 and build 165528 on Linux is what THETESTER runs. Steam updates it for you, but your game needs the same protocol to join.
