Configuring Rust Server Rates and Multipliers

Adjusting gather rates, loot multipliers, and XP progression allows you to customize the Rust gameplay experience to suit PvE, PvP, or modded servers. Server owners can increase resource collection, modify loot tables, or tweak player progression to create a unique environment.

This guide will walk you through changing gather rates, modifying loot multipliers, and adjusting XP progression using VolticHost Game Panel.

📌 Prerequisites

A Rust server purchased at VolticHost.com
Access to VolticHost Game Panel
Basic knowledge of server commands and plugins

1️⃣ Adjust Gather Rates (Resource Multiplier)

Log in to VolticHost Game Panel.
Click on your Rust server.
Navigate to the Console tab.
Use the following command to change gather rates (replace 2.0 with your desired multiplier):
```
gather.rate dispenser * 2.0
```
- dispenser * applies the multiplier to all resources (wood, stone, metal, etc.).
- To modify specific resources:
```
gather.rate dispenser Wood 3.0
gather.rate dispenser Stone 2.5
gather.rate dispenser MetalOre 2.0
```
Press Enter to apply the changes.

✅ Your gather rates are now increased!

2️⃣ Modify Loot Multipliers

If you want to increase loot drops, install the BetterLoot plugin (requires Oxide).

Navigate to the File Manager tab.
Go to:
```
/oxide/config/BetterLoot.json
```
Modify the LootMultiplier value:
```
{
    "LootMultiplier": 2.5
}
```
Click Save File and restart the server.

✅ Loot drops are now modified!

3️⃣ Adjust XP Progression and Player Levels

Rust no longer has a built-in XP system, but you can use the Skill Tree or Rust XP Rework plugins.

To modify Scrap earn rates (RP/XP alternative):

Open Console in VolticHost Game Panel.
Enter the following command:
```
economics.deposit * 50
```
- This gives every player 50 Scrap on login.
- Modify the amount as needed.

✅ Players now earn Scrap faster!

4️⃣ Restart the Server to Apply Changes

Navigate to the Console tab in VolticHost Game Panel.
Click Stop to shut down the server.
Wait a few seconds, then click Start to restart the server.

✅ Your Rust server rates and multipliers are now active!
