These are unmodded Rust servers: 1x gather, no kits, no plugins that change play. Every one carries the vanilla tag and is not listed as modded, so a 2x server calling itself vanilla is not on this shelf. Official and community both stock here. Counts, wipes and rates are live and refresh every five minutes, so grab what fits before the shelf changes.
Wipe schedule is what a server says, not always what it does. A monthly server may still wipe weekly on its own rhythm. Sort by Next wipe to see what is due, then check Last wipe for how fresh the map is. Every server wipes at force wipe, whatever its own schedule. Most players here are in Europe, then North America. If you are elsewhere, read the Region column: a European server is busy in the European evening, not yours. Team size is usually the default 8. Use the Group column to find solo, duo or trio if you want smaller fights. Browse the full server list for everything else on the shelves.

Questions
01What counts as a vanilla Rust server?
A vanilla server runs Rust as Facepunch ships it: 1x gather, no kits, no gameplay plugins. It can be official or community-run. If the gather rate is changed, Facepunch puts it in the Modded tab, so it is not on this shelf.
02How often do vanilla Rust servers wipe?
Many publish a monthly schedule, but plenty wipe weekly or every two weeks on their own rhythm. A minority only wipe at the monthly force wipe. Check the Next wipe and Last wipe columns for what each server actually does.
03Do vanilla servers wipe blueprints on force wipe?
It varies. The monthly force wipe always deletes the map, but each owner decides whether blueprints go too. Check the server's own page, or ask in its Discord if it is not stated.
04Are there solo or duo vanilla servers?
Yes, but most vanilla servers keep the default team limit of 8. A smaller number enforce solo, duo or trio. The Group column shows the limit, so you can pick the ones with smaller fights.
More about these servers
Rank is not the sort order. The table is live and busiest first, but Rank looks at players hour by hour over seven days. A server full every evening sits above one that fills for a few hours after wipe. On a vanilla shelf, that is the difference between a long-term home and a wipe-day fling. This list only holds servers that publish the vanilla tag and are not listed as modded. If you want a faster pace, 1.5x servers or double rates are your next stop.
