Summary
Changing Rust server settings can help freshen up gameplay between wipes. Some settings in Rust cannot be modified in the base game. However, with the addition of the popular modding and plugin tool Oxide, most settings can be adjusted freely with specific plugins. One such plugin is the Gather Manager, which allows users to adjust the Gather Rate on their servers. This guide uses a similar plugin for stack size, allowing an adjustable stack size limit for Rust servers.
