Hey there, fellow babysitters, I mean server owners! Ever thought the Rust world is a bit too barren and not ‘foresty’ enough? Well, I’ve got some exciting news for you. Let me introduce you to the Grow Trees plugin, a game-changer for Rust servers.

A Forest in the Arctic with Grow Trees

The Grow Trees plugin does exactly what it says – it grows trees. But it’s not just any trees. This plugin replaces resource groups with other resource groups. By default, it will replace Arctic Bushes, Arctic Saplings, and Tundra Saplings with full-grown trees. The result? A much fuller forest in those biomes.

Easy Setup and Configuration

Setting up the Grow Trees plugin is a breeze. It’s required that you have this plugin installed on the first startup of a map since resource groups are only created on the first startup then stored in the save file. A config file is created in oxide/config that has a list of all the resource groups. The first path is the resource group to target, The second path is the resource group to replace it with. If they are both the same then it won’t replace it. Where if they are different it will replace it.

For example, if you set “collectible/mushrooms” as the target and “collectible/hemp” as the replacement, it would replace all mushroom spawners with hemp spawners. Pretty cool, right?
