Flight manual · the lists

Start with the quick links that match your play: vanilla, modded, official or community. For pressure, check solo, duo and trio. For pace, the 2x, 1.5x, 3x, 5x, 10x and 10x plus lists hold servers that advertise that rate.

Region changes with the clock. A busy EU evening is quiet for AU players, and the US evening falls after midnight in the UK. Wipe timing matters too: see just wiped, wiping today and the wipe schedule.

All systems normal means the order comes from live population, refreshed every five minutes. Use the live status list for filters on region, type, group limit and wipe, or the status check if a server looks offline.

Questions

4 items · open each to read
  1. 1.How are the best Rust servers ranked?

    Each list is ordered by live player count, read from Steam's public server list and refreshed every five minutes. No votes or payments move a server up. If a placement is ever sold, it will be marked sponsored and kept apart from the ranking.

  2. 2.How many server lists does Rust Metrics hold?

    This page shows the current count next to each list, so read it as a live figure rather than a fixed one. Lists are split by play style, group size, gather rate and region. New lists are added as more servers publish settings that fit them.

  3. 3.Which list should I open first?

    Check your team size first, then your region, then your gather rate. A trio server on your own region at the start of its wipe usually runs better than a no-limit server that has been up for a week. Open the server page and compare fps, uptime and entities before you commit.

  4. 4.Can a server appear on more than one list?

    Yes. A server that is 2x, EU and duo-limited shows on all three lists. Each list is built from live data, so a server appears wherever its name, tags or published settings match. That is why the same address can sit near the top of several lists at once.
