What does the tutorial do on a Rust server?

It switches on Facepunch's new-player tutorial, so you start on a private island and learn gathering, crafting, building and cooking before you join the main map. The server keeps its usual rates, group limit and wipe schedule throughout. You can skip ahead at any time if you already know the controls.

Are Rust tutorial servers good for beginners?

They help for the first hour, because nobody can kill you on the island. After that you are on the same map as everyone else, so check the Group column and the gather rate in the Tags column before you join. Our ranking of beginner-friendly servers covers the wider picture.

Do tutorial servers wipe?

Yes. They follow the same wipe schedule as any other Rust server, usually monthly, with some on weekly or biweekly cycles. A wipe resets the map; blueprints reset only if the server chooses to. Check the Next wipe column, or a server's page, for its countdown.

Can I play with friends on a tutorial server?

Yes, though the tutorial island itself is solo. Once you finish it you join the main map and can team up as normal. Check the Group column first: some servers set a low team limit, and picking one that fits your group size saves a change later.

Rank is the catalogue number: RS-070 is the 70th server on players over the last seven days. The bar under the players is how full the server is; the light curve its players hour by hour. Next wipe is an estimate (~) unless it is the force wipe (FW); hover a time for the reason.
