# Rank is players over the last seven days. A big server showing offline while the rest are up is that server restarting or wiping, not Rust being down. all servers →
The method
Every five minutes the index reads the public server list in full: one row per server, fields for address, player count, max players, map, wipe schedule and last response. The status verdict compares the number of responding servers and the total player count against the same hour on recent days. The sample is the whole public list, not a top slice, so a single large host going down moves the number.
Thresholds, stated plainly: at 85 per cent of the normal count for the hour the verdict is up. Between 50 and 85 per cent it is degraded. Under half, it is treated as an outage. Normal is a rolling baseline per hour of day, so 04:00 UTC is not judged against a Friday evening.
Fields on this page
- Servers online - 11,844, the current reading.
- Players - 93,434, summed across responding servers.
- Reading - Rust servers are up, the verdict at the last refresh.
- 48-hour chart - server count and player total, one point per refresh. Gaps in the line mean the list did not answer, not that servers vanished.
For the raw list rather than the verdict, the server list has every row. Population over time is on the live player count page, and wipe timing on the wipe schedule.
Largest servers
The biggest servers by player count are checked as a separate group: if a few large hosts drop while the total holds, the fault is local to them. Individual server pages carry their own last-seen time, so a single missing server is a restart or a wipe, not an outage. Wipes around force wipe in 2026 restart servers one by one, which shows as a short dip rather than a fall to zero.
When the numbers say up but your browser is empty
The list can respond while your client cannot. In that case the failure is between you and Steam. Restart Steam before Rust, since the in-game browser is fed by Steam. Clear region and tag filters set weeks ago. Update the game on force wipe day, when servers move to a new build ahead of you. Turn off a VPN if one is active. Check Steam's own status separately.
Questions
Are Rust servers down right now?
The verdict at the top is live: it reads the full public server list every five minutes and compares the count with the usual figure for this hour of day. At 85 per cent of normal or above, servers are up; below 50 per cent, the page reports an outage. Between the two, it reports degraded.
Why is my server browser empty when the status says up?
If the list responds but your client shows nothing, the gap is on your side or Steam's. Restart Steam first, because the in-game browser draws from it, then clear any region or tag filters. On force wipe day, update Rust before trying again, and rule out a VPN or strict firewall blocking UDP traffic.
How current is the reading on this page?
Each refresh stamps the time of the read, and the index runs on a five-minute interval. If the last read is more than 25 minutes old, the page says the figure is stale rather than presenting it as current. Gaps on the 48-hour chart mark refreshes where the list did not answer.
