Gathering materials on Rust is a vital aspect to gameplay. A lot of players though do not like the default gathering rate. There is a simple oxide plugin to fix this!

How to change the Gathering Rate on your Rust Server

1. Shut down your server
2. Navigate to the Oxide Plugin Manager on the sidebar of your Rust server

3. Find a gather manager plugin and then install it. The plugin used in this guide will be https://umod.org/plugins/gather-manager
4. Reboot your server and log into the server in-game
5. Open up your console in game (The default keybind is F1) and type the command gather.rate dispenser * 5 (This will increase the gathering rate by 5)
