Daily average and peak, UTC.
Server performance
48 hours: hourly readings. 30 to 90 days: one point a day, with the day's average and lowest fps, most entities and most memory, measured since 17 Sep. From asking the server directly; low fps and a climbing entity count mean lag.
Rank
Top 69% of all ranked servers, top 81% in NA. Ranked on player hours over the last seven days.
Wipe schedule
Not enough wipes seen yet to tell when the next one is. Every server wipes at the monthly force wipe.
Wipes
| Wiped | Peak | Crowd | Lasted | Players before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No wipe seen yet. | ||||
Peak: the most players in the first 48 hours. Crowd: whether every day of the wipe kept at least half that peak, or the day it fell below. A new world less than six hours after a wipe is a restart, not a wipe of its own.

(Region code): This server has no region code; ^p (PvE): PvE, so the danger comes from the world rather than from players; ^o (Oxide): Plugins are handled by Oxide (uMod); ^z (Modded): Listed as modded because plugins or settings differ from the base game; NA (North America): North America is where the server browser lists it — that's the set of tags The Signal publishes for the server browser.
