So what about rope respawns?

[Sandwich-Anomaly]

So now that we dont have item respawns... what happens to rope? Rope is used in many items in this game especially for bone armor. I dont mind ammo but rope I need and the respawns help me and my friend replenish all the armor we lose to attacks which are getting more and more frequent

you change to using creepy armor

Wasn't there a recipe to make rope from cloth in The Forest or am I thinking of a different game?

yeah you can. I thought we could do that in this game but nope... you only find it.

That doesn't solve the problem. Cloth won't respawn, either.

The focus I'm trying to make here is that, yes, while creepy armor is more resilient it is not always practical to harvest based on A) the amount needed for complete coverage, especially among multiplayer groups and B) the location in which the mutants to be harvested are found. The focus here being that among the armor types, being in order for leaf> hide> bone> creepy, bone armor would natrually lead from mid to early-late game in which creepy takes over as the natural choice. Limitation of the required resources (duct tape and rope) basically destroys this dichotomy since rope is only (so far) found in the world or (now non-respawning) boxes, compared to duct tape that may still be found in skin pouches.

Yep, in the first game. However, like another guy said, cloth doesn't respawn either. I think maybe you can get cloth from skin pouches but I don't think rope can be obtained that way either.

While I can appreciate your argumentative approach to this conversation, I have to call into context the balancing of this decision vs the aspect of "being good at the game". Rope, Cloth, among other resources are required for crafting daily, if not critical items for your progression. Rope for armor, cloth for camp torches and lower tiers of armor, even printer resin for arrows, a canteen, or even the awesome (and potentially impractical) "Tech Armor". The point being that said armor does, in fact, degrade with damage. Unless the balancing is changed to allow for us to keep crafting armor without degrading the spawning of (arguably) critical resources, this is a very potential stumbling block.

Now that rope doesn't respawn (or it's more rare in this update), it makes base building even more complicated. Now it may not be worth creating rope bridges, zip ties to carry logs (since you'll run of logs anyway), and other things.

I've stopped playing for the time being. I spent an entire week setting up ziplines all over the map so I could have a ton of fun moving around the island that way. Now that I can no longer keep doing that, I'm going to wait until they fix this somehow with adjusted spawns or something.

No more rope/cloth breaks my game.

Did all your ziplines disappear?

Rope respawns in many locations that don't require the containers. Theres a waterfall that has coffins at the top and bottom of it and a campsite nearby. That place has a decent amount of ropes. Then there's the docks on the other side of the mountain. And there's at least 1 rope that spawns by the dead guy on the beach where the pistol rail is, near the floating raft with the pistol. And I think villages also have rope along with cloth. They should add rope crafting into the game, using cloth to make rope or gathering plant fibers to make rope.

Everything except enemies in caves and bosses respawns in The Forest.

The problem with the crates not respawning items is you now need to go to a few specific places - items scattered around still respawn.

Pretty sure the respawns on the docks and in many of the huts in canibal camps are also unaffected. Same with cloth I believe.

Peeps: Every item STILL respawns just not cases. You can still acquire everything at fixed spawn sites. The only exception is explosives (C4/Grenades).

However, re-visiting villages and camps that only have cases is now pointless. The map has basically shrunk.

Bunkers and caves are still good loot points and the devs even supply save and reload points at most of these places.

Fill yer boots before moving on. The devs want you to be bored and not explore the map (sarcasm).
