Rust tutorial servers

The player count above covers every public server, not just this list, so the two figures differ. Most servers here sit in Europe, with the rest in North America and Asia; check the Region column before joining a queue. Around half use Rust's default team limit of 8, while others set solo, duo or trio. Servers without a stated gather rate are normally 1x, and the tutorial does not change that. Wipe schedules follow the same monthly, weekly or biweekly cycles as any server — see the Next wipe column for an estimate.

Rows are ordered by current player count, so the top of the table shifts through the day. The search box matches server names and addresses, which helps for words like "EU" or "solo" but not for region or team-size filters. For those, use the full server browser. Many large official servers keep the tutorial switched on, so this list can look like a normal popularity chart rather than quiet training grounds. If you want a gentler start after the island, the beginner-friendly list groups servers by team size and rates. Wipe days are worth checking before you commit: the wipe schedule shows what resets and when.
