dedicated server host harvest setting

[hashteve]

hey, just started hosting a dedicated server for myself and some friends using steam cmd, im just wondering why using dinos for harvesting nodes whether it be rocks, trees, metal, or even dead corpses for skin like keratin / chittin is so little compared to just doing it myself with a hatchet or pickaxer?

in my gameuserini these are the two lines for harvesting nodes
HarvestAmountMultiplier=1.333
HarvestHealthMultiplier=1.333

i know its a bit much, but i was just increasing it bit by bit trying to compensate for dino harvesting, but this in turn also makes players harvest way more, killed a lvl 150 scorpion with a pteranodon and it got 15 chitin, whereas i killed a lvl 50 scorpion and harvested it with my own metal axe, and i got 49 chittin

my ptera's melee dmgis 297% and my dmg is 193%, wats causing this to happen?

you have...

Harvest rate = multiplier of how much resource per node, which means more resource.
Harvest Health = nodes take more hits to empty, which means more resource.
Dino harvest rate = same resources, but faster harvesting with a dino.

The amount of damage you and dinos do also affects the rates.

ye, i believe i have those added in and modified, it was just when at the early stages of the game, a human characters resource gathering was substantially more than a dino, now that a decent amount of my dinos have more melee damage, their resource gathering is getting better
