Daily average and peak, UTC.

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.
THETESTER's wipe history is too thin on record to show a rhythm. Every server in Rust, this one among them, wipes at the monthly force wipe; Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC is the next. 23 days 22 hours have passed since this world was generated.

(Region code): The server sets no region code, which THETESTER publishes. 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.

No region is published by THETESTER. The location shown on Rust Live Stats is the one a server gives, not a lookup of the machine's position. Connect to 52.165.62.81:28015.
