Behind the scenes

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

Wipe schedule

Not enough wipes seen yet to tell when the next one is. Every server wipes at the monthly force wipe.

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.

Server details

Is my island online, and how reliable is it?

Down at the moment: my island was last seen 11 days 23 hours ago. It was up 0% of the time over the last 7 full days, 0 of 168 hours in total. The first time Rust Pop Watch saw it was 15 October 2026.

Where is my island located?

There is no region from my island. It is where a server says it is that Rust Pop Watch shows; the machine's actual location is not looked up. You'll find it at 128.71.97.173:28015.

Which Rust version is my island on?

Rust network protocol 2634 and build 166652 is the version my island runs on Windows. Joining requires your game to match the protocol, which Steam updates for you.

Wipe times

What is the wipe schedule on my island?

The record of my island's wipes is still too thin to show its rhythm. The monthly force wipe takes every Rust server down for a new world, and the next one lands on Thursday 5 November at 19:00 UTC. Its current world has been live for 17 days 6 hours.

The rules

Which map does my island run?

A procedural map is what my island runs, generated by the game.

What are the rules and settings on my island?

Nothing in the name tells you the gather rate on my island. Eight players per group: that is the game's default. It runs survival, gather, build and raid, as standard. Fighting and raiding between players is allowed. The server browser files it under Modded, where plugins or settings change the game. Oxide plugins power it. The VAC anti-cheat from Valve is on.

Join up

How do I join my island?

The console method: start Rust, press F1, and type client.connect 128.71.97.173:28015. Launch Rust on this page is another way, opening Rust via Steam and connecting.
