Changing the gathering rates on a Rust server can significantly impact the gameplay experience and alter the balance between resource gathering and base building. By increasing the gathering rate, players can gather resources faster, enabling them to build and expand their bases more quickly. On the other hand, reducing the gather rate can make resource gathering more challenging and force players to adopt a more strategic approach to base building and resource management.

Requirement: For the Gather Manager mod, Oxide Support must be installed on the server. Learn how to here.
