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.
Recent wipes on this server averaged a peak of 0 players at their busiest. 0 hours after the latest wipe, the crowd reached its peak.
Build Contest's wipe history is too thin on record to show a rhythm. 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 3 hours.

Nothing on Build Contest states a region. A server's stated location is what Rust Live Stats shows; the machine's actual position is not looked up. 64.20.40.98:27058 is its address.
Server fps averaged 40 over the last 48 hours, with a low of 40. It supported up to 66,163 entities, covering buildings, deployables and all other objects. Memory use peaked at 2,207 MB. Lag, as players feel it, comes from low fps and a rising entity count.
Rust network protocol 2635 and build 168909 on Linux is what Build Contest runs. Steam updates it for you, but your game needs the same protocol to join.
