@Ryan - tried to DM you but no luck

Hey brotha, I have quick question on the excavator settings and how these 3 things factor in and exactly what for.

  • "ExcavatorBeltSpeedMax": 0.05,
  • "ExcavatorResourceTickRate": 4.0,
  • "ExcavatorTimeForFullResources": 60.0,

We are setting up a 1000x server and trying to find the right balance, 100 for tick rate is what we have and belt speed we left at the 0.05

the fime for full resources, not sure what to do with that one. we have tried 30, 60, 120

120 just seem to take completely forever as we have players throwing in 1000 diesel and it was running with that for over 24hrs straight realtime. lowered it to 30 but the output rate for stones for example went from 25K stones per tick to almost 100k 

There doesnt seem to be any documentation when it comes to the Excavator or its settings. I dugged thru the code but its your baby so figured I would ask you as I have all the other uMod plugins I have to work on and maintain lol

Thanks in advance brotha.

`ExcavatorResourceTickRate` is how often (in seconds) the excavtor outputs resources. Similarly `

MiningQuarryResourceTickRate` is the same but for mining quarries and pump jacks. 

However, the code in v2.2.75 around these 2 variables is quite bugged. I've made a fix here that will get these working properly: uMod - Update: Fix for Quarries and Excavator - Gather Manager - Community

I haven't looked into `ExcavatorBeltSpeedMax` or `ExcavatorTimeForFullResources` yet but I'm planning on improving this plugin a bit more so I might have an answer for you soon. My guess though is that `ExcavatorBeltSpeedMax` is purely visual.

Merged post

Update - Here's my findings:

`ExcavatorResourceTickRate` determines how often (in seconds) new resources spawn in the excavator's outputs.
`ExcavatorResourceTickRate / ExcavatorTimeForFullResources` dertermines how much fast the excavator works. Any resource modifiers are then applied on top of this.
`ExcavatorBeltSpeedMax` has not effect on gather rates.

Fuel consumpsion rate isn't effect by any of these settings.
