5x Rust servers: the counted list

It means the server multiplies gathered resources by five: one tree yields five times the wood, and the same applies to stone, metal and sulfur. Most 5x servers also change other settings such as crafting speed or kits, so read the settings column before you join. The rate is a modded setting, not a vanilla one.

Wipe schedules vary. Some 5x servers follow the monthly force wipe, some wipe weekly, and others publish a biweekly cycle. The next-wipe column shows the server's own schedule where it publishes one, and an estimate otherwise. Check it before you commit time to a base.

Facepunch requires any server that changes gather rates to list itself as modded, so nearly all 5x servers appear in that tab. A server claiming 5x outside the modded listing is not following that rule. The vanilla tag describes difficulty, not gather rate, so it does not tell you the rate.

Yes, but check the group limit. Many 5x servers keep Rust's default maximum team size of 8, which means you may meet groups of that size. Some set a limit of 2, 3 or 4, which suits a solo player better. Filter by team size or search the name for 'solo' or 'duo'.
