Vanilla Rust servers

Read the columns as catalogue fields, not promises. Schedule is what the owner publishes; the real rhythm can differ, since a server may post monthly and still wipe every Thursday. Sort by Next wipe to find what is due soon, then look at Last wipe to judge how fresh the map is now. The force wipe applies to every server regardless of what its schedule says; our force wipe countdown gives the date.

Players is the live count at the last check. Group shows the team limit: default is 8, and a lower number means smaller fights. Region matters more than rank for most people, because a busy European server is quiet in your evening if you are in North America. Sort by Players for the fullest list, or by Rank for steady population over the past seven days.

The default order is busiest first. That is useful for spotting a full map, but busy at this minute is not the same as busy every night. Rank weighs the last seven days of player counts, hour by hour, so a server that holds a regular evening population sits above one that only fills after a wipe.

Nothing about a tag can be taken on trust. A server that gathers at 2x but labels itself vanilla is out of scope here: Facepunch files changed gather rates under Modded, and so do we. If you want a faster pace, see 1.5x servers; for a different subject entirely, PvE servers are filed under their own heading. Each entry links to its own page with the full record.
