How to tune spawn rates for player count in Rust
Type spawn.player_base 50 in the server console so the spawn system treats 50 players as its baseline when scaling spawn rates. Default is 100.
spawn.player_base
Sets the player count the spawn system treats as the baseline when scaling spawn rates.
spawn.player_base <players> Examples
spawn.player_base 50 Scale spawns for a 50-player server.
Arguments
playersRequired- Baseline player count. Default 100.
What it does
Spawn group rates start scaling with spawn.player_scale once the player count passes this baseline. Lower it on smaller servers so scaling kicks in earlier.

Run it on your server
Type it in the server console or send it over RCON; admins can also use the F1 console in game. To keep a setting, run server.writecfg after changing it, or put it on the launch line as +name value.
