Metal Not Respawning

[PeaceKeeper]

We've had 3 or 4 guys CONSTANTLY patrolling the mountains for ANY metal and metal hasn't re spawned in probably over a day at least. No structures at all anywhere. Just no metal respawning.

Metal seems to take atleast a week in game to respawn

Are you using a local host or are you using a dedicated server?

If it's a local server, it's most propably an old bug from years ago, which the devs should be ashamed to still not have fixed, after all those years (and after cashing in another 40 bucks).

To describe the problem in shortness: resources who have not yet been respawned get deleted PERMANENTLY from the map, once you shut down the server (close the game), which happens in singleplayer, as well. Funny, eh?

I will give you a link where you can find out about how to solve it and how to change the server setting to prevent it from happening again.

By the way,
1) if you dont use english language layout for your keyboard, you may need to rebind the console key.
2) if you are the server (singleplayer or hosting yourself locally), you don't need to use the "cheat" surfix. Just type in the following rest, ignoring "cheat" like e.g. "slomo 20".
3) don't forget to hit once or twice "backspace" after entering console, before entering the command line.

For single player, I've found if you exit the game then go back into the create or resume game screen and at the top go into the advanced > world: left column "no resource radius (player & structure)" I set both to .25, and middle column "resource respawn interval" I set to .3. Seems to help with the metal nodes respawning for me.

I am glad I could help. It really sucks when you pay full price for a game and it does not work, as it should. At least the community cares for itself, if the devs are obviously not caring for...
(I will take all that back, once the day arrives, the devs will patch that out, but I doubt that happens)
