About Zongarust

Zongarust exists because the in-game server browser is a poor way to judge where to play. The site takes Steam's public Rust server list, with names, player counts, queues and the tags each server publishes. It also queries each server directly for map seed, FPS and entity count. Not every server answers those direct queries, so some servers show only what Steam publishes. From those sources the site keeps player counts, wipes, ranks and history for every public server, so you can find a fresh wipe, a busy server in your region or the right group limit without joining dead servers first.

Ranks are based on players over the past week, hour by hour. A server that is busy every day ranks above one that fills up for a single evening after a wipe. The lists are ordered by player count, never by payment. The site is independent and built by Rust players. It is not affiliated with Facepunch Studios, and nothing here is endorsed by them. Server names, descriptions and images belong to the people who run those servers.

Everything shown comes from what servers publish about themselves. If something about your server looks wrong, the fix is usually in the server's own settings, and changes appear within about five minutes. If it still looks wrong, write to contact@zongarust.com.
