These servers set their group limit to one, so you play alone and everyone you meet does too. The table is the server list narrowed to solo only, live now and refreshed every five minutes. Each row shows the wipe status first: just wiped, out for delivery or due soon, with an ETA in UK time and UTC where the schedule is published. The count is 196 servers online with a group limit of one.
Worth knowing before you pick a row. The group limit comes from what the server publishes, so it only covers Rust's team system; two people sharing a base without a team breaks the rules and that is for the admins to sort out. Wipe times are only shown where the server publishes a schedule, and the source for each one is named on its server page, so nothing here is guessed. A blank wipe column means the server has not stated a time, not that it wipes on the usual Thursday. Population is the live figure, so a server due to wipe in ten minutes may already be emptying. If you want the wider field, the full Rust server list and just wiped pages cover every public server.

Questions
Q01What counts as a solo Rust server here?
It is a server that publishes a group limit of one, so the in-game team system gives you no teammates and no shared markers. A server only appears in this table while it is online and its limit is still one. If it changes that setting or goes offline, it drops out on the next refresh, which runs every five minutes.
Q02How do I know when a solo server wipes?
Look at the wipe column for a status and, where the server publishes one, an ETA in UK time and UTC. The server's own page names where that schedule comes from. A blank means no time is published, so check the server's own announcements rather than assuming the monthly force wipe date applies.
Q03Do solo servers wipe on the force wipe day?
Only if they follow it, and many do because Rust's own monthly force wipe resets the map for everyone. Servers with their own weekly or fortnightly schedule wipe on a fixed weekday instead, which may not be the first Thursday. The force wipe page gives the date and time in UK time and UTC, and each server page states whether that server follows it.
Q04Are solo servers quiet outside peak hours?
Population is live, so the number you see is the number now, not an average. Many solo servers are busiest on wipe day and through the evening in their own region. Sort by population to see which are busy at the moment you read this, and check the region before joining a server that peaks while you are asleep.
More about these servers
The Group column reads solo on every row, because that is the filter you came in through. Sort by population for the busiest right now, or by wipe status to catch servers about to reset. If you arrive before a wipe, the countdown follows the server's own published time in UK time and UTC together; if that time is a day or more out, treat it as the schedule, not the minute. Solo players often do better on a map that has just wiped, so the wipe schedule tracker and the force wipe page are worth a look before the first Thursday of the month. For team limits, duo and trio servers are the next step up, and new player servers are gentler than a fresh solo map.
