What counts as a PvE server in Rust?

A PvE server has the PvE tag, meaning players cannot hurt each other or raid each other's bases. The only threats are the environment, scientists and server events. This list includes only servers that publish that tag.

Are PvE servers suitable for new players?

They remove the risk of losing your base to other players, so you can learn to gather, build and craft at your own pace. For a PvP server that is still forgiving, see servers for beginners .

Yes. Most run a monthly or biweekly schedule, and every server resets at the monthly force wipe on the first Thursday at 19:00 UK time. The Next wipe column shows the next reset for each server.

How do I avoid joining an empty PvE server?

Sort the table by Players to see the busiest right now. Then open a server's page and check its player history over the last week; a server that only fills on wipe day may be quiet a few days 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.
