Vanilla Rust servers, live

Reading the columns

Players is the live count at the last refresh. Rank is different: it scores each server across the past seven days, hour by hour, so a server that fills every evening sits above one that spikes only after a wipe. Next wipe and Last wipe come from what the server publishes, not from a guarantee.

What vanilla does not tell you

Group limit is the main thing left out of the vanilla tag. Most servers keep the default of 8, and a few enforce solo, duo or trio. Region matters too: the busiest vanilla servers are European, so their peak evening is not yours if you play from elsewhere.

Wipe day

Force wipe resets every server at once, whatever its own schedule says. The force wipe countdown gives the next date and time.

A vanilla list is the slowest version of Rust: no boosted gather, no shop plugins, no instant crafting. Fights last longer and bases take longer to build, which suits players who want one server to hold on to rather than a new start each week.

That also means the map matters less than the population. A low-player vanilla server plays like an empty one after the first fortnight, so check the seven-day rank before committing. If you want more movement, the next steps are 1.5x servers or double-rate servers.

If you only care about servers that wiped most recently, just wiped is the shorter list.
