Respawning resource node issue

[UnarmedToaster]

Stones grow over vault entrances after death. My pickaxe is in the gravestone, behind those stones that re-spawned. I cannot get back in to get my stuff.

Craft a new pickaxe? You can have many of them.

That is an obvious workaround, yes.
but seeing as how there's no in game bug report feature and Jagex isn't known for the greatest player service
the only real option is to mention it in a steam post and hope it gets seen and fixed

It's not a bug, so it's not a workaround.
Rocks and Vines that block entrances eventually respawn, and most of them respawn when you die or leave the area. That's intentional. So if you die in a blocked cave, you will need to bring a tool to get back in it.

My suggestion is to put a box with a Pickaxe or Axe next to the entrance of any blocked cave you frequent to have a back up way into the room in the event you die.

If it was a 1-off thing, just keep a spare tool in your base for the job.
