Resources Re-spawn Bug
I noticed a problem in resources re-spawn, Especially the high valuable ones like metal, crystal..etc. Once i harvest the resource i never see it again re-spawning in the same area.
In some certain areas even rocks, trees never re-spawned. this is in single player with single player settings on. Has any one noticed this happening too?
I have modded the game with crypod mod, utilities plus mod and 1000 items stacking mod does modding has anything to do with the problem? Also general settings was first set at PVP then i changed it to PVE, any clues that would have caused anything? or is the game is just all buggy?

Use the prevent hibernation launch command and turn resource repawn rate to tne min.

In single player if you leave an area before an item respawn it can bug out and not repawn. The prevent hibernation keeps all areas active with a slight performance hit.

so this is a VERY OLD bug from ASE single player that is a MASSIVE issue STILL for ASE single player that apparently is STILL not fixed even if you give them more $$$ for ASA. The default values for resources re-spawning makes metal take almost an hour irl to come back and if you close game or crash before they respawn on single player they will never come back. There are x3 settings that can help lesson the chance of things not re-spawning but will also make the game feel cheaty cuss you can basicly live off 1 metal node. Find the 2 settings that change "resource respawn ranges" and the one for "resource respawn time" and turn those WAAAAAY down. Lastly make sure EVERY TIME you are ready to stop playing you check/render in any resource you harvested to make sure its back then you can close game safely. i have the timer one set i think at .16 or .016 not sure atm but this makes metal come back about every 5 mins.

if you want to get back a resource respawn that is already broken on a map there is a way to fix it but it takes some admin wizardry. youtube vids can walk you thru how.

thank you for posting this question letting all us ASE single player enjoyers know that this massive bug is still a thing in ASA

1 more thing! sometimes even with the changes to the settings i listed above, a resource will just not respawn. wait the normal amount of time that it takes for said resource to respawn under the new lowered timer setting and relaunch game and it "should" now be back

Man this is such a severe problem, i wish i known that already. This means i lost a lot of good spots for resources man, like the volcano mountain crystal and obsedian. Is there any chance that his would be resolved in some batch?

And by theway this so sick what game in the world i should wait some time before i log out what in case of power loss?! means resources loss? this is super sick.

My goodness man, you saying that this problem was in ASE and still not fixed and is persisting now in ASA, wow studio wild card is a joke or what. For the record i never experienced this in ASE, but apparently it maybe existed in earlier batches maybe, because i bought ASE just the previous year not in early launch, but that means my current ASA batch would still have this problem going on with it maybe until i start over from scratch which will never happen, if so this is so sad.

ill lower the timer to the lowest possible as you mentioned and try it, and will look up on youtube for already broken areas fix if really fixes it would be such a breather.
