Loot-Farm-Gather

Set your server-wide gather and loot rates, then fine-tune furnace yield, gathering tools and farming. All of it is saved to My Settings and re-applied after restarts.

01What it does

You'll find this under Server Settings > Modifiers and Multipliers. It's the first tab, so it opens straight away.

This page covers the big rate dials for your server. At the top you've got Global Gather Scale and Global Loot Scale. Below that are three tools: Yield Scale, Tool Multiplier and Farming Modifiers.

02Global Gather and Loot Scale

  • Global Gather Scale: multiplies everything players gather, so trees, ore nodes, animals and pickups.
  • Global Loot Scale: multiplies the loot in crates, barrels and other world containers.
  1. 1Click 1x, 2x or 3x on the card you want.
  2. 2The status line tells you the pick isn't saved yet. Press Save.
  3. 3The option that's running on the server gets a Live tag, and the card shows it under Current.

If a scale has never been set through Surge, Current shows Not set. After saving, Surge makes sure the server really took the new value. If it didn't, you'll get an error asking you to try again rather than a fake success.

03Yield Scale and Tool Multiplier

Both work like the Cook and Smelt tools: pick an item, pick 1x, 2x or 3x, press Apply. The screen shows what's currently set on the server for that item, and keeps a list of what you've changed so you can click back into it.

  • Yield Scale: how much cooked output a furnace gives per item. Presets are Sulfur Ore, Metal Ore and High Quality Metal Ore.
  • Tool Multiplier: boosts how much a specific gathering tool collects. Presets are Jackhammer, Chainsaw, Salvaged Icepick and Salvaged Axe. Under the custom option you'll also find Stone Pickaxe, Stone Hatchet, Metal Pickaxe, Metal Hatchet and Salvaged Hammer, or you can type any short name.
Tip

Tool Multiplier is a nice way to reward progression. Leave rock and stone tools at 1x and give the jackhammer and chainsaw a bump.

04Farming Modifiers

Three number fields, each with its own Apply button. Decimals are allowed, and the range is 0 to 1000.

  • Ceiling Light Range: how far ceiling lights reach when growing plants.
  • Plant Tick Scale: a multiplier on plant growth ticks. Higher means plants grow faster.
  • Sprinkler Radius: how far a sprinkler waters.

05Good to know

  • Everything on this page is saved to My Settings and comes back automatically after a restart.
  • Global scales only take 1x, 2x or 3x. Same goes for Yield Scale and Tool Multiplier.
  • The bot needs to be connected to your server to apply changes.
