Questions
What readers ask
What is Rust Insights?
Rust Insights is a live record of every public Rust server, built from Steam's public server list. It shows current player counts, population history, wipe times, server settings and rankings. Each figure comes with an explanation of where it comes from and what it does not tell you.
How often is the data updated?
Player counts and queues are read from Steam's list every five minutes, so they are never more than five minutes old. Servers are also queried directly for details such as map seed and entity count. A wipe is recorded within about five minutes of a server reporting a new world.
Why does a server's population change so much?
Population follows the wipe cycle. A server is busiest in the hours after a wipe and quietest at the end of the cycle, so a single reading can mislead you. The live player count page and each server's history show the pattern over time rather than one moment.
Is Rust Insights run by Facepunch?
No. Rust Insights is independent and not connected to Facepunch, any server network or any hosting company. It works only from public data: Steam's server list and direct queries to the servers themselves. You can read more about how the site works.
