What's with the tree's NEVER growing back?

[naturaleuphoria]

I AM DEFORESTING THE FOREST AND NOTHING GROWS BACK, ITS BEEN 100 DAYS.

We've got some areas in our multiplayer that can't be called the forest anymore. Suburban neighborhood has more trees. I hadn't rooted around in the settings, but I can't recall if there was a "trees grow back" toggle like in the first game and if yes, is it broken?

There is no regrowing in Sons Of The Forest. It seems the devs are going all in on the "realism" maybe they'll add an option for custom difficulty later down the line.

Thanks for confirming.

That would be nice if it was added in. Also, the argument we would have is.. trees grow naturally, and to assume that you won't have plants grow back where some were picked or trees grow back where some were chopped is a slight against realism. Maybe a sapling becomes a tree after 2 winters or something.. saplings pop up randomly in various spots in the spring. Let it grow or take it out with the katana.

They don't NEED to grow back. There are way more than enough trees on the island. Show me a playthrough where even half the trees on the island are actually cut/used without cheats or mods and yeah i could see needing it. Besides you can replace the trees.

the feature to regrow trees was something that they added later on in the first game ... maybe it will be the same with this game - an update that comes with one of the future patches.

realism? where? the saplings don't grow, they stay the same size, so realism is not a feature, but then neither is survival as it's hard to die, and as for horror? I laugh at the idiocy in this game, I mean a mutant with a massive mouth that has fingers for teeth? compared to the first Forest, this game is chronic.

If I use a grenade some grow back.

Is that along the lines of the 5 days of winter realism? lol No, but i get your point :)

I wish there was a bigger Log Holder tho :) Or size variants like in The Forest

I've wrote that somewhere else as well:
I think the only reason that the trees are not growing back right now is, the devs didn't quite figure out yet how to prevent trees growing back through your base. Imagine, one day you wake up and there is a freakin' tree in your living room. LOL.
I might be completely wrong here, but at least in my mind, that is the only reasonable explanation. (I want them grow back as well, BTW)

Cheers!

Sons of the forest? More like, sons of the deforestation.

What on earth do you people need so many trees for.

It's not that I need that many trees for building or whatsoever. It is more like the visuals.
I've build once a pretty large base, which required a lot of trees to be cut in the vicinity of that said base. and once I was done, I went inside, up to the balcony and looked at a lot of tree stumps. LOL. (Of course I could've been selective and cut trees from further away, but I didn't. Then I had built my dream house in a nice forested area, which wasn't that much of a forest anymore :D)
So, at least for me, its more for the visuals, not for building. ;)

It's not about need. Having to spend an hour just getting 20 logs or so because the closest trees are so far away is not fun.
