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 8 Oct. From asking the server directly; low fps and a climbing entity count mean lag.

too few wipes seen yet
Not enough wipes seen yet to tell when the next one is. Every server wipes at the monthly force wipe.
Players each hour, from the hour of the wipe. The latest peaked at 1, 1 hours in.

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. Peak population on the latest wipe came 1 hours after it.
The record holds too few of The Nexus's wipes to reveal its rhythm. On Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC the monthly force wipe arrives, and every Rust server wipes with it. 10 days 13 hours have passed since this world was generated.
These are the Rust Live Stats lists The Nexus fits: Modded Rust servers live now. These filters on the server list bring it up: Type: Modded; Server tag: Modded ^z and Carbon ^y; Group limit: 5 or more; Last wipe: In the last 2 weeks.
gmrust (Game mode): The game mode is standard Rust survival; mp50 (Max players): The slot count is 50; ts8 (Group limit): Teams stop at 8, the default the game ships with; v2635 (Protocol): Join only if your game is on protocol 2635; cs168909 (Build): The game build is 168909; ptrak (Networking): The network layer is RakNet, the standard the game uses; $r? (Region code): No region code is set here; ^z (Modded): Plugins or settings changes put this under Modded; ^y (Carbon): The plugins run through Carbon: that is the tag list The Nexus publishes for the game's server browser. The current player count, the queue and the world's creation time also sit in the tags, shown at the top of this page.
0 of The Nexus's 50 slots are filled right now. Averaged over seven days: 0 players.
Player hours over seven days put The Nexus at #15,338, in the top 69% of all ranked servers.
Nothing in the name of The Nexus states a gather rate. Eight players per group, which is the game's default. It runs survival, the standard game: gather, build, raid. Fighting and raiding between players are allowed. Modded is its browser category, where plugins or settings change the game. Plugins run here: Carbon. Anti-cheat: VAC from Valve is enabled.
Size 4,500, seed 1591971938: that is the procedural map the game generates for The Nexus. Same size, same seed, same map: RustMaps has it, reachable from this page.
Nothing on The Nexus states a region. A server's stated location is what Rust Live Stats shows; the machine's actual position is not looked up. You can reach it at 79.117.123.136:28015.
Server fps averaged 40 over the last 48 hours, with a low of 17. It supported up to 121,653 entities, covering buildings, deployables and all other objects. The highest memory usage was 5,114 MB. A climbing entity count and low fps are felt as lag by players.
Rust network protocol 2635 and build 168909 on Linux is what The Nexus runs. To join, your game must use the same protocol; Steam handles the update for you.
