Yield Sliders - In-Game Gathering Rates

In-game yield sliders for Mining, Woodcutting and Fishing in RuneScape: Dragonwilds. Spend less time hauling stone and logs, and keep the drop tables exactly as Jagex made them.

Why you will want it

• []A real in-game menu. One slider per gathering skill, from 1. 0x to 10. 0x, built from the game's own menu pieces so it looks like it belongs there.[/]

  []Right in the pause menu. Press Esc and GATHERING YIELD sits between Settings and Exit, in the game's own button style. No function keys needed, so it works on any keyboard or laptop.[/]

  []Your rate, skill by skill. Mining x3 for a big build, Woodcutting x2, Fishing left alone? Your call.[/]

  []More of the normal drops, nothing new. A boulder that gives 14 stone gives 42 at 3x. No new items, no changed loot tables.[/]

  []Instant. A change applies while you drag, and it is saved for next time when you close the menu.[/]

  []Junk stays junk. Weeds and other junk from the fishing net are not multiplied.[/]

Install

• []Install UE4SS for RSDragonwilds (linked under Requirements).[/]

  []Drop the YieldSliders folder into RSDragonwilds/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods/[/]

  []Launch the game, load into a world, press Esc and pick GATHERING YIELD. Close the panel with CLOSE or Esc.[/]

On Game Pass: use the BE version of UE4SS with the SCO signature, the normal build does not load there (thanks JourneyOver for testing). Game Pass also installs the game under Binaries/WinGDK/ instead of Binaries/Win64/, so the YieldSliders folder goes in RSDragonwilds/Binaries/WinGDK/ue4ss/Mods/. If you install with Vortex, check that is where it ended up.

To uninstall, delete the YieldSliders folder.

Prefer a text file?

Every setting also lives in config.txt inside the mod folder. Edit it with the game closed.

Everything doubled:

Multiplier = 2. 0Lots of stone, a little more wood, fishing untouched:

Multiplier = 1. 0

Mining = 3. 0

Woodcutting = 1. 5F9 also opens the panel as a shortcut. Pick a different key, or turn the shortcut off (the pause menu entry always works):

MenuKey = F7

MenuKey = noneLeave the pause menu untouched:

ShowInPauseMenu = false

Good to know

• []Gathering only. The mod only counts items that land in your inventory within a few seconds of earning Mining, Woodcutting or Fishing XP, and never while a menu is open. Chests, crafting and trading are not what it is looking for.[/]

  []Leftovers picked up later count as normal. Collecting loose stones with E gives no XP, so once the few seconds after your last swing have passed, they are not multiplied.[/]

  []Extra items are real items. They weigh the same and save with your character. At high rates, watch your carry weight: over the limit, the game stops pulling in drops.[/]

  []Full bags. If the extra does not fit, the part that fits is added and the rest is skipped (noted in UE4SS.log). Nothing is dropped on the ground.[/]

  []Solo or host. In co-op it boosts the host's own gathering. If you join someone else's world, your copy does nothing.[/]

  []Works with XP Sliders. Run both for more XP and more resources. Tested together, and both sit in the pause menu side by side.[/]

  []Fishing: tested with the net. Rod fishing awards XP on the catch the same way and should behave the same, but has not been tested yet.[/]

  []Fails safe. If something ever produces an absurd jump in one moment, the mod switches itself off for the session and says so in UE4SS.log.[/]

  []Works on Steam and Game Pass. On Game Pass, use the BE version of UE4SS with the SCO signature (thanks JourneyOver for testing).[/]

  []Not sure it is running? UE4SS.log shows a line starting with yield active.[/]

How it works

The game's own "extra resources" stat (from the Skills Necklace) is only a small chance, and it cannot be raised by a script. So Yield Sliders does not touch it. A few times a second it counts your inventory. When a stack grows right after a gathering skill earns XP (a swing, a boulder breaking, a tree falling, a fish caught), it adds the extra through the game's own inventory, so pickup banners, stacking and saving all behave normally. No game files are changed.
