Instant Gather Plugin for Rust

This plugin significantly increases the speed at which players gather resources in Rust. Instead of the standard gathering animation and time delay, resources are collected instantly upon interaction. This modification drastically alters gameplay, leading to faster base building, quicker crafting, and a more accelerated pace of progression. The effect can be tailored to specific resources or applied universally, allowing server administrators to fine-tune the impact on the game's economy and overall balance. While it can lead to a more casual and less grindy experience, it's crucial for server owners to consider the potential implications on resource scarcity and player interaction.

Key Features (potential, depending on the plugin's specific configuration options):

• Configurable Resource Selection: Choose which resources are affected by instant gathering.
• Customizable Gathering Multiplier: Adjust the gathering speed beyond instant collection (e.g., gather 2x, 3x the normal amount).
• Potential for Exclusions: Ability to exclude specific resources or areas from instant gathering.
• Server-Side Management: Admin control over the plugin's activation and parameters.

Impact on Gameplay:

The Instant Gather plugin dramatically changes the early game experience, reducing the time investment required for initial base construction and tool creation. It can also lead to more frequent player encounters and potentially faster progression through the tech tree. However, it might also diminish the strategic importance of resource management and alter the overall feel of the game, making it faster-paced and potentially less challenging for experienced players. Careful consideration of the plugin's impact on server balance is essential for administrators.
