SIngle player resources do not respawn
This was problem in ASE and i see its even worse in ASA, no resource respawn in single player mode, dinos do not respawn either but u can kill all wild dinos and it took a while but island will be populated again.
I can't respawn resources, this is game breaking bug and never was fixed, why even have SP mode if its not working, its only a demo for a game.

0.01 will not work in ASA ;-) Set to 0.3 for resources from player and 0.3 to resources from structure, also resource respawn to 0.3 ;-)

wdym it not work in ASA u can set it in game settings.
And yes i tried 0.5/0.4/0.3/0.2
That bug was present in ASE before and never was fixed by WC, i needed to rent dedicated server in ASE to do SP playtrough.

I am playing Single Player ASA, and came here to ask about this problem as well.

Ore Resources:
I have changed my respawn timer settings but the metal and obsidian ore resources have not returned between day 16 and now day 32. The trees around my base do return, just my ore is not.

Sea Creatures:
Even my ocean area more than 1000m away from my base has hardly any creatures. The clams are resetting without a problem, but the sea creatures (under-water scorpions and anglers) have not returned after a single harvest. Even the megalodons are hardly seen anymore in the same area on the surface. I feel like I have wiped the population out, and after days of going back now and then to check the area, I am unsure if I am just supposed to wait longer.

Anyway, just need to vent. This problem is quite frustrating. I was lucky to not have this on ASE.

Of course it is a bug. If you close the game before the resources have respawned, again, they get PERMANENTLY deleted from the map. Have fun, always waiting those excessive timers which are standard in singleplayer, before closing the game, EVERY SINGLE TIME...

Others have already said some/most of this but this is what I normally post when people ask about this "bug" from ASE and there's some extra info if you need it:

This is what you had to do in ASE to fix the resources not re-spawning in single player mode.

See the comment that says "solution":
https://www.reddit.com/r/ARK/comments/smtkm8/single_player_resources_not_respawning_2022_fixes/

Another fix involving speeding up time and flying away:

And adding the "preventhibernation" command can also help/fix the issue:

Wildcard on the hibernation issue (I believe this is where they said "it's a feature not a bug"):
https://survivetheark.com/index.php?/forums/topic/203535-patch-259-hibernation-single-player-settings/

Obviously this would've been nice if they had fixed this before ASA but they didn't. At least the same fixes should work so that's good. Good luck and I can't promise which of these will fix the issue but one or a combination of these probably will.

The main thing to do it to set the resource respawn factor to 0.1 and distances to player and structures to 0.05 or 0.1.

Edit: Oh and one more thing, If you logout before the resources respawn they will be bugged and you will need to use the "repairarea" command to reset (which is another potential fix even by itself).

Yeah, it would be exactly THAT, what I would be saying, if I was a lazy bastard and being too convenient to care about the problems my customers have with my product...
What a cheap excuse.

The "repairarea" command, that doesn't mean bases and various structures players have built will be reset as well?
Also, is it a command you must do near a resource or will it be a one time command you do for the whole map?

You know, if you would come here asking for help on how to get this to work better (works fine for me), instead of just saying it does not work, you might actually get more useful information.

U know i asked for help with this several times in ASE, but hey i got help because seems like players need to fix all bugs WC created by themselfs.
I was hoping they will fix that in ASA, but nooo, just grab more money.

And i got help there, thank you.

Thanks to @MooseLoves
