Rust Gather Rate Multiplier Calculator
Adjust the sliders to see exactly how each multiplier changes resource yields — before and after, per node or harvest. Copy the server console command block at the bottom.
Rate Multipliers
gather.rate
Overall Gather Rate
Multiplies all resource gathering — ore, wood, stone, hemp, animal yields.
component.gatherscale
Component Drop Rate
Scales the number of components dropped from barrels, crates, and world nodes.
loot.spawn_chance
Loot Spawn Chance
Extra loot table spawn chance. Values above 1 increase the probability of additional items in crates and barrels.
scrap.yield
Scrap Yield from Components
Multiplies the amount of scrap obtained when recycling components.
craft.instant
Skip craft timers — items are crafted immediately.
metabolism.calories_per_second
Metabolism Drain Rate
Controls how quickly players burn calories (hunger). This is a drain value — higher = faster hunger, lower = slower. Set to 0.5 for half the vanilla drain speed.

| Components | Barrel (avg, 1× component scale) | ~3 items | ~3 items |
| Tech Trash | Elite crate (base chance) | 0.5% | 0.5% |
Yields are per full node harvest or full source. Actual amounts vary by tool quality and server plugins.
