What resources are renewable?

i see that food plants like mushrooms and cabbage regrow in the wild. Seems like ores in the walls do not. Will trees in the elven quarter regrow?

We just got the mines, we're moving our stuff to the elven quarter

As for the elven trees: I don't fully get when they respawn. I believe they respawned once for me, but then didn't anymore. Someone here had the theory that they respawned after a game-update, but usually they don't.
The ores in the wall do not respawn, correct. I'm not sure about those small boulders lying arround that give small amounts of coal, tin or whatever. If they do, they spawn at random places. I didn't verify this long enough - sometime had the impression that new ones appeared, but then again thought they don't.

In general you should find enough of everything to finish a normal playthrough without lacking anything. Also you will soon find enough black diamonds to build enough mapstones to travel forth and back.

If you have large building projects in mind, then you can still switch with your character to a different world, harvest material there and then go back to your main-savegame with the inventory full.

And maybe backing up your savegame is a good idea every now and then. I haven't done that yet, but there should be a way to do it by copying the correct folder. I read of cases where people lost there savegame out of nowwhere. Didn't happen to me in two playthroughs though.

From what I heard here, sometimes after a patch the devs can trigger a respawn of the Elven trees. Would be nice if these and the Ubasam Wood mushrooms would respawn.

The small ore boulders on the floor do respawn, but I have no idea how fast; seems to be a couple of ingame days.

In the later areas, there will be small minable boulders that you can get resources from. Depending on the area you're in, they may drop iron, gold, or even star metal. So many of those ores are literally renewable forever. Those small boulders reappear constantly.

I assume you can also just create a new world, bring your existing character into it, and just stripmine the whole new world. The only limitation would be bring back only what exists in your characters inventory.

I feel like the resources need to respawn every two of three game days, at least for the servers. We've made a server of 16 people on sandbox, and there really isn't enough RSS for even 3 people on the game. DEV's should work on respawning RSS for the servers

Trees. Stuff that you can find but are not renewable is most ores. Do you know those rocks that fall from the ceiling? You can get ores in those. They won't be as much as you get when mining a vein, but it is some in case you get in a pinch.

If you live in the Elven Quarter and sleep there the trees should regrow.

this is an old post from before an update that changed regowing trees
