How change the gathering rate on your Rust server

Adjusting the gather rate on a Rust Server dramatically changes how players interact with the game. A higher gather rate allows for quicker resource collection, letting players build, craft, and expand at a rapid pace. Conversely, lowering the gather rate adds difficulty, encouraging players to plan more carefully and manage resources strategically for survival and progression.

Step 1) Download the Gather Manager mod from the official uMod website HERE.
