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. From asking the server directly; low fps and a climbing entity count mean lag.

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.

Quick answers
Tags and listings
Where does The Sandbox appear in Rust Going Deep lists and filters?
The Rust Going Deep lists that carry The Sandbox are: Modded Rust servers and Rust build and creative servers. You can find it on the server list by these filters: Type: Modded; Server tag: Modded ^z and Oxide ^o; Group limit: 5 or more.
What's the meaning of the tags on The Sandbox?
gmrust (Game mode): Survival, as standard Rust does it; mp10 (Max players): There are 10 slots on this server; ts8 (Group limit): The default team size of 8 applies here; v2634 (Protocol): This server runs game protocol 2634, so your game must match that version to join; cs166494 (Build): The build number is 166494; ptrak (Networking): Standard RakNet networking; $r? (Region code): The region field is empty; ^o (Oxide): Plugins run through Oxide (uMod); ^z (Modded): Plugins or settings make changes, so it's listed as Modded — that is the tag list The Sandbox puts out for the game's server browser. Live pop, queue length and the world's creation time also sit in the tags, shown at the top of this page.
