(Region code): No region code is set; ^m (Monthly): Monthly wipes take place, following Facepunch's force wipe; ^v (Vanilla): No kits, no rate changes, no rules added: the game as Facepunch ships it; ^o (Oxide): A plugin framework, Oxide (uMod), is in use; ^z (Modded): This server appears under Modded because plugins or settings alter the game; OC (Oceania): Its place in the server browser is under Oceania.
