Events plugins for Rust
Timed and admin events are plugins that start airdrops, gather bonuses, helicopter spawns, treasure hunts or scheduled server commands on a timer or at an admin's request. They exist to give a quiet wipe some rhythm: instead of waiting for the vanilla airdrop timer, the server announces a double gather hour, drops a locked crate at a fixed spot, or sends a Patrol Helicopter at a set interval.

About events plugins
Owners use them to pull players to a location, tighten or loosen the economy mid-wipe, and keep scheduled restarts and announcements consistent without a moderator typing commands by hand. Most of the tuning is balance and timing. Timed airdrops need sane intervals so loot inflation does not flatten progression, double gather needs a multiplier that respects your wipe length, and helicopter or Bradley spawns need count limits so a small pop does not drown in NPCs. Kill announcers and first blood broadcasts need admin-only config files so everyone does not edit them by accident, while treasure hunt and crate drop plugins usually expose a permission for staff to trigger an event early.
Under the hood these are Oxide plugins: hooks on supply drop and player kill, config files for intervals and messages, and permission nodes for staff. Carbon loads them as-is.
