dispenser.scale tree 1and go up and hit a tree it takes more than one hit to fall over. not sure if this is a bug or not but this also doesn't work on any of the other dispenser scaling settings either.

"dispenser.scale tree 5-- Trees will yield 5 times as much resources"
Thats not a setting for how many time you have to hit it.
I've had this thread open for some time. I'm not sure how we can get the developers attention :(

I've had this thread open for some time. I'm not sure how we can get the developers attention :(
Thats cause its not a bug. Read what it does. It gives resources not sets how many times you have to hit the tree before it falls.
I'd like to ask if one of the mod authors can please update the notes on uMod to confirm that the dispenser.scale is currently inoperative ?
Really appreciate the great mod for changing gather rates, but as of now it appears the dispenser.scale is broken, and has zero effect.
I read through most of 117 pages of questions and answers in the support forum, and nobody can demonstrate that it works.
I checked the hook and it's still active but it just doesn't seem to have any effect. There's also no dispenser.scale section in the actual GatherManager.json upon install; only places for the gather.rate. It did finally populate after a save and reboot. Still doesn't have any actual effect on the amount of resource contained in the node.
So, I can only guess that as of now, you can only modify the multiplier for gather, and not for dispenser "total capacity" ? I'm trying to make it so that trees are fast to harvest and contain a small amount of resources, but Stones contain a large amount of resources and take a long time to harvest. (as they would in real life.)
Can you confirm it's broken ? Because i did some relatively detailed testing and neither Trees nor Stones produce any difference when the dispenser.scale is set. They only produce varying output when the gather.rate is manipulated.
I found an area with relatively consistently sized trees. I had 4 fresh stone axes.
Here's what I found.
///
dispenser.scale tree 2
gather.rate dispenser wood 2
total harvested - 1624
\\\
///
dispenser.scale tree 2
gather.rate dispenser wood 1
total harvested - 811
\\\
dispenser.scale tree 1
gather.rate dispenser wood 2
total harvested 1622
///
dispenser.scale tree 5
gather.rate dispenser wood 2
total harvested 1624

Gamingoutlaws, you're incorrect.
By very nature of changing the "amount of resource" in a dispenser, you're changing how many "time you have to hit it".
Read the notes in the mod.
//To change the amount of resources in a dispenser type use the command:\r\ndispenser.scale////
As it is explained in the mod-authors comments:
gather.rate = "how much I get per chop".
dispenser.scale = "how much resource does this container possess"
So if I double the amount of resource I get per chop (gather 2x) then it should take less chops to finish a tree.
If I double the dispenser.scale, but do nothing with the gather.rate, it should take me twice as long to chop a tree.
If I double both, It takes the same amount of chops, as 1x/1x, but I get twice as much resource in the same amount of time.
So, if your gather rate is 2x (measured out to be about 22 - 30 wood per chop)
And a tree has default "quantity" in its trunk(600 or so in vanilla). (dispenser.scale)
It should take about 25 hits to completely finish a tree. (confirmed in testing.)
If you then go back and change the dispenser.scale, leaving the gather alone, it SHOULD TAKE LONGER. because there's more "quantity of resource" at the same "gather rate".
In my testing this week, neither of these seems to be the case; as the function for "dispenser.scale" neither produces more output from the dispenser (tree), nor does it cause the tree to take longer to chop for the same amount of output. The only config parameter that causes any change is the gather.rate, which only serves to double the amount of resources you gather from the object. (gather.rate is working like a combined scale + gather.)
The gather is going up, but it's not causing you to chop the tree any faster, it still takes 25 hits to chop an average tree. You're just getting like 1630 Wood, instead of 811-815.
I can confirm this. I spent hours scratching my head around what I was doing wrong. I changed the scale to 1000 and still nothing more than what it was before... Unfortunate. At least the gather rate works.
sam problem here, cannot adjust dispenser rates

I reverted back to the older version of gather manager and it works fine.
Not sure why this version is having problems, but older version with the old config works great still.
