You asked, we answered
What is Rust Pop Watch?
Rust Pop Watch is a live population tracker for every public Rust server, built on Steam's public server list. It shows current player counts, population history across the week and wipe schedules, refreshed every five minutes. The gossip is the numbers: who is climbing after a wipe and who is going quiet.
How fresh are the player counts and wipe times?
Counts come from Steam's public server list, polled every five minutes, so a figure you read is never more than five minutes old. Server details such as map seed and entity count come from direct queries to the server. A wipe is recorded within roughly five minutes of a server reporting a new world.
Is Rust Pop Watch owned by Facepunch or a server network?
No. Rust Pop Watch is independent, not run by Facepunch, any server network or any hosting company. Everything published comes from public data: the Steam server list and direct server queries. Servers are named exactly as the data lists them, and we do not mock them.
Where do I start if I want the full picture?
The server population list covers every tracked server and can be filtered by region, group limit, gather rate and wipe schedule. For fresh worlds, check what just wiped. Both refresh every five minutes alongside the rest of the site.
