Observation log
Top vanilla Rust servers
Every server here runs Rust as Facepunch ships it: 1x gather, no kits, no gameplay plugins. We include a server only if it carries the vanilla tag and is not tagged as modded, which means a 2x server calling itself vanilla is not on this list. Official and community tags both count, and no placement is paid for.

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.
The table is ordered by live players right now, but the Rank column uses the last seven days of player history, hour by hour. That is what separates a server that holds a population all week from one that only fills on wipe day. Sort by Next wipe to find servers due soon, and check Last wipe to see how fresh the current map is. Every server wipes at the monthly force wipe whatever its published schedule says.
Region matters more than most players think. A European server at 200 players will be quiet during a North American evening. The Group column shows the team limit; many vanilla servers keep the default of 8, and a smaller set run solo, duo or trio. If you want a faster pace, the next step is 1.5x servers or 2x servers. Servers still starting their wipe are on the just wiped list.
Questions
Q01How is the ranking on this page decided?
Servers are ordered by their player history over the last seven days, measured hour by hour from live counts refreshed every five minutes. The table itself shows current players first, but the Rank column uses that history. No server pays for its position.
Q02Why is a 2x server not on this vanilla list?
A vanilla server runs the game unchanged, and Facepunch treats a changed gather rate as modded. Any server tagged vanilla but also tagged modded is excluded here even if it advertises itself as vanilla. The modded list covers faster rates.
Q03Do vanilla servers wipe blueprints at force wipe?
The monthly force wipe always clears the map, but each owner decides separately whether to clear blueprints at the same time. Some do, some keep them. A server's own page lists what it publishes about blueprint wipes.
Q04Can I find vanilla servers with a small team limit?
Yes. Most vanilla servers leave the default team limit of 8 in place, but a minority run solo, duo or trio limits. Use the Group column to see each server's limit before you join.
Population is not the only number worth reading. Gather rate tells you how fast you will move; vanilla servers sit at 1x, so a full evening's farming buys less than on a modded server. Wipe rhythm tells you how often you restart; a weekly vanilla server resets progress far more often than a monthly one, which matters if you play a few hours a week.
A high rank on this page does not mean a server suits you. Read its own page for rules, plugins and team limits before you commit. If your priority is finding players who are new like you, beginner servers are a better starting point, and if you want the busiest populations overall, the full ranked list covers every mode.
