What about sticks .. do they replenish ..

[jswarpaint]

Do the bushes grow back that have sticks ... ?? I'm to non observant to figure this out .. seems they don't but that perhaps the ones loose on the ground do ...

still trying to figure this out myself. or rather, to specifically watch or conduct experiments of sorts. because i'm told that all bushes eventually respawn, but in a couple of my games they sure didn't seem to. however i didn't go out of my way to make sure of this either (for example, going out to some place where you won't frequent, make a square of logs on the ground or just reinforced upright sticks, in order to mark the area, and smack all bushes in that area. then come back later and observe after reloading game or sleeping a few times.

put a standing stick marker down next to one and throw a GPS on it. check back periodically to see. I'm pretty sure the smaller bushes do but not sure about the tiny trees that drop sticks when you chop them down. My guess is if there is still a stump it will regrow if regrowth is on in the options,

Guess I need a refund...

or maybe bushes need a whole year cycle...forgot to add that.

am now going to do that test...

Some sticks will procedurally generate upon entering an area (they seem to replace some of their numbers - pickup 1-3 sticks from roughly the same spot before they won't appear there and you have to leave and revisit the area for more to appear - go far away or its only on leaving/spawning in that everything will respawn). Most abundantly found in areas with the most thicker bushes, plenty of trees (anywhere between 1-3 will spawn around a tree). Sticks can also be found on or near the pathways. In the snow, this all still applies. Its just hard/impossible to spot them unless you are looking at the prompt.

from my experiences sticks do respawn. when i play on the beach they respawn but it's more of a random spawn in a area and not neccessarily the same spot. I don't think some bushes respawn. I've made trails through the brush (short cuts) with the cart and they never grow back.

I personally have never seen the small stick trees respawn. Its beginning to turn into a real problem lol

Concerning sticks, I don't even bother with stick trees or bushes. I just run around picking them up from the ground. They're always there. Even in my current game wherein I don't have Mr. K or Ms. V, and I get everything myself, I can always find all the sticks that I need right on the ground wherever i am. Sticks, rocks, pebbles etc are always respawning randomly.

I can guarantee bushes do not regrow. once you clear an area it stays clear. unless the regrowth is more than a few literal in game years..ive never seen ♥♥♥♥ regrow. sticks however, do replenish on the ground, along with stones and rocks and small rocks

Still testing. Or rather, giving it more time, not knowing how devs might have made this part work. Not looking good so far.

i don't think bushes spawn back (quickly anyways) without going back to main menu and reloading the save. berries may be same thing. stick trees as well.
rocks respawn as soon as you turn around. sticks on ground i don't think will respawn if the area is cleared of trees.
they may respawn when you sleep, but i know for sure, pretty much everything respawns when you save and reload

I've now done several sleeps, year cycles, and exited and restarted game as well many times. That's why I don't think it's very hopeful. I've marked an area I never frequent, it has a variety of shrubbery, and ferns. I've smacked all of this, and laid a log down and picked it back up to get that area of grass destruction too. The grass itself came back pretty quick, but so far not one of the ferns or different kinds of bushes have regrown. And I don't have but a couple of trees at a time that are cut before I do a sleep or even two sleeps, just in case the bushes are calculated into the 10% chance dynamic.
