What is a Rust build server?

A sandbox server with free resources, instant crafting and often noclip, so you can design and test bases without farming or defending them. Players use them before a wipe to check a footprint and work out build costs. The tools are plugins, which is why these servers sit in the Modded category.

Do Rust build servers give you free resources?

On almost all of them, yes. Resources come free through a plugin and building is instant, and many also grant noclip or god mode. That lets you test a bunker or a wall stack from any angle before you spend real materials on a live server.

Do Rust build servers wipe?

Many reset the world every few hours, which clears whatever you built. Others keep the same map until the owner wipes it or the monthly force wipe arrives. The Last wipe and Next wipe columns on each server show which pattern applies.

Why are build servers ranked below vanilla servers in the browser?

They are not. Ranking here is by live player count alone, so a build server with more players than a vanilla server sits above it. What changes is the player numbers themselves: build servers are smaller on average than the busiest vanilla servers, so they usually place lower on total population rather than on any penalty.

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.
