Gather & loot rates
Rates that belong to the player, not to the server
Server-wide multipliers give everyone the same wipe. This plugin attaches rates to permissions instead: a default tier, a VIP tier, as many tiers as you sell. Every gather source is covered — nodes, quarries, the excavator, the metal detector, farming, tea, even NPC corpses — and every loot container is multiplied per item category, or per exact item. All of it edited in a UI, applied the moment you type the number.

01 — Tiers
One server, as many rate sets as you sell
A tier is a permission plus a full set of rates. Two come preconfigured — a 2x/3x default and a 3x/5x VIP — and you add as many as your shop needs.
No permission, no change
Players outside every tier play vanilla rates, untouched. Nothing is applied server-wide, so you can run the plugin on a 1x server and sell 2x as a rank.
Stack tiers, or don't
By default a player with several tiers gets one of them. Flip a single switch and every rate they hold is summed instead — so a booster permission can add on top of a rank rather than replace it.
Everything from one screen
Page through your tiers with two arrows. Global rates, every production source, all 14 categories and the per-item list are on the same screen, each an input field. Type a value and it's active and written to the config — no reload, no o.reload, no file editing.
02 — Loot
Containers that pay what you decide
Barrels, crates, elite crates, hackable crates, supply drops — anything with loot in it goes through a global rate multiplied by the rate of that item's category.
14 categories, 14 dials
Triple the components but leave weapons alone. Halve ammunition while resources stay at 5x. Weapons, construction, items, resources, attire, tools, medical, food, ammunition, traps, misc, components, electrical and fun each carry their own multiplier on top of the global one.
NPC corpses count the killer
Scientists, tunnel dwellers and every other NPC drop loot scaled to the rates of whoever killed them — tracked from the kill to the corpse, so a VIP's kill pays VIP rates even if someone else opens the body.
Shot open or opened by hand
Barrels broken with a rock and crates opened normally both go through the same multipliers, credited to the player who did it — and each container is processed exactly once, never twice.
Respawn speed, live
Two multipliers — one for junk piles, one for crates and barrels — and the world's spawn timers are rebuilt the moment you change them. No wipe, no restart, and the vanilla values are put back when the plugin unloads.
An exclusion list for the things you don't touch
Name a container prefab and it stays vanilla — useful for event crates and custom loot that another plugin already fills.
03 — Gathering
Every way a player earns a resource
Most rate plugins stop at trees and ore. This one follows the resource wherever it comes from, and gives the slow, expensive sources their own multiplier on top.
Nodes, trees and the finishing bonus
Every hit, the bonus for finishing a node, and the leftovers that spill when it breaks — all three are scaled, so the numbers stay consistent instead of the bonus quietly staying at 1x.
Quarries and the excavator pay their operator
A mining quarry, a survey-charge pump jack and the Giant Excavator each have their own production multiplier — and the output is scaled by the rates of the player who switched it on, not by a server-wide number.
Jackhammer, chainsaw and the metal detector
Power tools get a multiplier of their own, so you can make them worth their fuel — or deliberately not. Metal-detector digs are boosted too, which almost nothing else covers.
Tea strength as a rate
The tea multiplier scales the effect value of the tea itself, not the number of leaves. A VIP's ore tea simply works harder than everyone else's.
Farming and hand-picked resources
Harvested plants and everything picked up off the ground — hemp, mushrooms, corn, wood piles — run through the same rates as everything else.
04 — Per item
One item out of step with the rest
Category rates handle the broad strokes. When a single item needs its own rule, it overrides everything above it.
Its own multiplier, ignoring everything else
Run resources at 10x and keep sulfur at 2x. An item with an override takes its own number and nothing else — no compounding surprises.
Guaranteed amounts with a jackpot chance
For loot, set a minimum and a maximum with a percentage chance for the big one. Every barrel gives exactly 5 scrap, and 10% of them give 20 — a flat, predictable economy you can actually price your shop against.
Added by clicking an icon
The picker filters by all 15 categories and searches display names and shortnames as you type. Click an item to add it, type its rate under the icon, click the red cross to drop it. Long lists paginate at 29 per page.
Reliability
Built to be left alone
✓
No dependencies — nothing to install alongside it
✓
Vanilla respawn timings are restored on unload — the plugin remembers what they were before it touched them
✓
Every UI change is written to the config immediately — a crash can't lose the tier you just built
✓
A bad shortname tells you in chat instead of failing silently or throwing errors into console
✓
Respawn boosting is opt-in — off by default, with the safe range stated in the config

Questions
Before you buy
What happens to players with no permission?
Nothing at all — they get vanilla rates. That's the point: grant the default tier to the default group for a server-wide rate, or keep it for ranks only.
A player has two tiers. Which one wins?
The one further down the config list — so keep your tiers in ascending order and the highest rank ends up last. Alternatively, turn on rate summing and every tier they hold is added together instead.
Do I have to restart or reload after changing a rate?
No. Values from the UI take effect immediately and are saved to the config as you type them. Even loot respawn timing is rebuilt live.
Whose rates apply to a quarry or the excavator?
The player who switched it on. A VIP's quarry produces at VIP rates while it runs.
Can I make a resource drop a fixed amount instead of a multiplied one?
Yes, for loot: give the item a minimum, an optional maximum and a chance for the maximum. The multiplier is then ignored for that item and the amount is rolled between the two.
Is faster loot respawn safe for my server?
It's off by default and it scales the game's own spawn timings rather than spawning extra entities. Stay near the suggested values — extremely low numbers mean more entities alive at once, which costs frames on any server.
Will it fight with my other loot plugin?
Add that plugin's container prefabs to the ignore list and they pass through untouched.
