Server performance

This server has not answered a direct query in the last 48 hours.

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 17 Sep. 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.

(Region code): The region code is left blank; ^z (Modded): This server appears under Modded because plugins or settings alter the game; ^y (Carbon): The plugin framework Carbon runs on this server. The tags also carry the current player count, the queue and when the world was made; you will find them at the top of this page.

Too few wipes are on record for RustTest to show its rhythm. On Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC the monthly force wipe comes round, and every Rust server wipes with it. Counted from 51 days 23 hours ago, that is how long the current world has stood.

You can raid and fight other players here. The server browser files it under Modded, where plugins or settings alter the game. Carbon plugins are in use here.
