What makes a Rust server vanilla?

It runs Facepunch's game with the default gather rate and no gameplay-changing plugins. It carries the Vanilla tag and does not carry the Modded tag. Official and community servers can both be vanilla. If the gather rate is changed, the server belongs in the Modded tab.

How do I tell which vanilla servers wipe soon?

Sort the table by Next wipe to bring the nearest dates to the top. Then check Last wipe on each candidate to see whether the current map is days or weeks old. The Schedule column is only what the owner publishes, and some servers wipe more often than they state.

Can I find a vanilla server with a small team limit?

Yes, but they are the minority. Most vanilla servers keep the default limit of 8, so use the Group column to filter for solo, duo or trio caps. A lower limit is enforced by the server, not by player agreement.

Are vanilla servers good for new players?

They are the standard pace: no kits, no boosted loot, no teleports. That means slower progression and harsher losses, but also fights you can read. If you want a gentler start, look at servers with low population against their slots or a lower team limit.
