Trees keep respawning after turning respawn off.

[crumpy108]

The last 3 days I've logged in to my save to find trees still growing back all around my base. I have toggled the respawn to off, but they persist.

I found a suggestion in another post somewhere here saying to save immediately after chopping them down. I saved after I chopped down every tree yesterday and today they are all back again.

Love the game so far. It's been insanely fun. I will gladly return and continue playing if a fix can be found for this.

When you are about to load set the respawn of trees to off and then after you load immediately save, quit, and reload. Please try this and see if it helps.

Gave this a shot, it did not work unfortunately. Played yesterday. Tree respawn was already set to off. I turned it on, loaded, saved, quit, turned it off, loaded, saved, quit, loaded and played for a bit cutting down the trees around my base again.

Saved game last night, logged back in today after work and they all respawned again. For reference, this is only happening between loading games. It does not happen during game at all. Not sure what to do from here,

You could be caught in a season change loop. Are the seasons at the reset point between one to the next ? You can try to play offline for a bit and save your game. Then when you log back in choose the offline save file from your computer instead of the Steam game file and if everything is good, (which it should be) save that game to the Steam server. Works for me for numerous issues while playing EA games. FYI and i hope this helps.

Funny you mention that because I was wondering if that was relevant. I have actually not noticed the seasons change at all and I wasn't sure if time was actually passing by. How many game days does it take for a season to change?

I'll give that a shot and see if it works then. Thanks for the suggestions!

i do not know how long it is, i know i sometimes have issues in EA games with seasons. Over the years i have just taken a "logout" break from a game if i have been playing for 2 hours straight in real time. i compare it to a "reset" of sorts, especially from a remote server. i like using the "start from desktop offline" and then "start from server online" because it will automatically verify everything and if something is out of place, it will insert it right back in where it was supposed to be, it works great for me. I use a laptop and utilize the same method at work on our own server. Laptops using wifi tend to get out of sync and create their own pathways trying to get back in sync so taking a break and shutting the application off and coming back on almost always works. FOR ME, it works for me.

Well I gave everything a shot, but it's still not working. Looks like I may have to restart my game to get it going properly, but I don't have the energy to begin a new save after 20 hours in so I'm going to take a break for a while and come back to this after a few updates maybe.

Thanks for the help, I appreciate your time.

Just an update to this. This issue is still persisting. Tried a new save this week. Completely new with respawn turned off from start and they are still growing back.

I am not able to repro any of these issues, can you please email me a file that respawn is turned off and they still seem to spawn back? If so, my email is [e-mail]

Sorry, I never expected to get a response so I took another break. I emailed you my save file today 12/21/23. Tree respawn is turned off, but anytime I log off and back on, they are back and inside my base.
