without plugin and using a jackhammer on a 3x server i get 900 sulphur from a node
Now activate plugin and hit a sulphur node i get 540 

Just done the same test again and got same results - so its actually giving less if using Instant Gather

Ignore i forgot to set the x3 in config to match the server
Works Fine now - my bad sorry

Merged post

We need an instant gather for the trees now :)

Nice to hear! Will probably add trees too!
