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.

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 average peak across its recent wipes is 1 players. 0 hours after the latest wipe, the crowd reached its peak.
Wipes on staging come at irregular times, and no next date can be given. Every server in Rust, this one among them, wipes at the monthly force wipe; Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC is the next. The world you are playing on was built 23 hours.
The Rust Live Stats lists that include staging are Modded Rust servers live now. You will find it on the server list under Type: Vanilla and Modded; Server tag: Vanilla ^v, Modded ^z and Carbon ^y; Group limit: 5 or more; Last wipe: In the last 24 hours.
These are the tags staging makes public: gmvanilla (Game mode): The mode is vanilla survival; mp0 (Max players): Slots: 0; ts8 (Group limit): 8 per team at most, the game's default setting; v2635 (Protocol): You need protocol 2635 on your game to get in; cs168909 (Build): The game build is 168909; ptrak (Networking): RakNet is the network layer — the game's standard one; $r? (Region code): The server sets no region code; ^v (Vanilla): The rates, kits and rules are unchanged from what Facepunch ships; ^z (Modded): The game changes here through plugins or settings, so it is Modded; ^y (Carbon): It uses the plugin framework Carbon. 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.
Last seen 23 hours ago, staging is offline right now. The seven-day average is 0 players, with a peak of 1.

Nothing in the name of staging states a gather rate. The default applies: 8 players to a group. It runs survival, the standard game: gather, build, raid. You can raid and fight other players. Modded is its browser category, where plugins or settings change the game. The plugin load is Carbon. Vanilla is its own label: the rates, kits and rules are unchanged from what Facepunch ships. Anti-cheat: VAC from Valve is enabled.
staging uses a procedural map, which the game generates.
There is no region from staging. The location shown on Rust Live Stats is the one a server gives, not a lookup of the machine's position. 65.109.156.177:28095 is its address.
Rust network protocol 2635 and build 168909 on Linux is what staging runs. Steam updates it for you, but your game needs the same protocol to join.
