Set custom gather rates on your Rust server with the Gather Manager plugin: install uMod (Oxide), add the plugin, then set 2x, 5x or 10x rates from the Web Console.

In this guide we set up the server as a 5x server. The commands for 2x and 10x are in the list at the end.

  1. Stop the server and go to Mod Manager.
  2. Install uMod (Oxide) on the server.

Rust gather rate questions

How do I use Gather Manager on a Rust server?

Install uMod (Oxide) from the Mod Manager, start the server once, upload the Gather Manager plugin to /Oxide/Plugins, start the server and enter the gather.rate and dispenser.scale commands in the Web Console.

What is the difference between gather.rate and dispenser.scale?

gather.rate multiplies the amount you get per hit or pickup. dispenser.scale multiplies the total resources inside trees, ore nodes and corpses. Most 2x, 5x or 10x servers set both to the same multiplier.
