When and on which platform will the alpha test be available?
As per the official Discord Server of the game (provided in the official X post mentioned previously), this test will be available within February and will be live exclusively for Android users.

It is also mentioned in the Discord Server that all data will be wiped out after the test is over, and the monetization features will not be available in the game for this test. So you will not be able to recharge in the game.
The first Rust Mobile Alpha Test will most likely stick to its original PC gameplay. However, there is a chance that the developer will add certain features to make it more mobile-friendly.
