What Respawns?

[Cheggf]

There's no information anywhere at all on the wiki about this, and I can't find any information through Google. So can someone please tell me what respawns, and if they do so infinitely?

For example: tentacles, tallbirds, swordfish (I know they respawn, but not if they do infinitely), and Prime Apes.

Thank you.

rabbits respawn infinitely. as long as you dont dig up their holes.
ancient guardians dont respawn. there's only three of them in one world.
slurpers also dont respawn.
from what i know , tentacles dont respawn. once you kill em they're gone

Big tentacles respawn
Regular ones don't
Catcoons can respawn 9 times before they stop
Prime apes respawn at their huts.

Anything with a nest or hole that they spawn from will continue to spawn there until it is destroyed, with some limits. Tall birds hatch eggs and have young birds running around.
A mole will build a new den, but rabbits won't.

Generally, things that respawn have a spawner.

Indestructible spawners:

• MacTusk camps
  
• sinkholes
  
• tumbleweed spawners (invisible)
  
• tentapillar holes
  
• vulture flocks
  
• nightmare fissures
  
• wobster dens
  
• swordfish spawners (invisible)

Not-easily-destructible spawners:

• dangling depth dweller webbing

Destructible spawners:

• pig houses
  
• rabbit holes
  
• mole holes
  
• bunny hutches
  
• pig torches
  
• hound mounds
  
• slurtle mounds
  
• merm huts
  
• dragoon dens
  
• tallbird nests
  
• splumonkey pods
  
• spider dens
  
• spilagmites
  
• flowers
  
• hollow stumps (also limited to 9 lives)
  
• beefalo, goat, and rocklobster herds

Respawns without a spawner:

• lureplants
  
• koalefant tracks
  
• birds
  
• pengulls
  
• flowers (seasonally)
  
• clam shells
  
• flotsam
  
• hound and depth worm waves

...and so on. You get the idea. Otherwise, the things you just find already there without a spawner generally don't respawn.

Thank you very much for your post, you're a hero.

I went on the wiki to see if it has information on how flowers respawn, since they're very useful for the instant sanity bonus, and all I could find is that they respawn during Spring in Reign of Giants, along with the player being able to manually create flowers from flowers via butterflies.

Are those the only two ways for flowers to respawn, and so you list "destructible spawner" because of butterflies? Do you know if they ever respawn in Shipwrecked? Thank you.

[󰀉tempeh󰀉]

Yes, I listed them as a butterfly spawner. I assume they respawn in Shipwrecked, but there's one way to be sure...

If I'm reading flowerspawner.lua correctly, it looks like they'll spawn in any season as long as it's raining. Of course, it won't rain in the dry season.
