How to scale spawns with players online in Rust

Type spawn.player_scale 3 in the server console so spawn group rates grow more strongly as more players come online. Default is 2.

What it does

Higher values make more group spawns happen as the server fills up, relative to spawn.player_base.

The game's own description: Multiplier applied to group spawn rates based on current player count relative to player_base; higher values cause more group spawns as the server fills up

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.
