Does stuff ever respawn?

[Dayve]

Eventually I'm going to get good enough at this game to survive for more than 3 days at a time (my record so far is almost 4 days in-game time) and eventually I'm gonna be able to survive for weeks at a time (or more maybe!)...

...and I'm gonna run out of matches and lantern fuel because you can't make those things. Do they ever respawn?

[BlackConrad]

I think the only things that respawn are the wild life. Fish, deer, rabbits, and of course wolves. So I think its possible to survive a while if you have the means to hunt them

[Miandelam]

No stuff doesn't respawn it's one of the challenges in this game. I personally don't do it because I think it's a little silly to have to do it that way and I don't think I'll live long enough for that problem but ..
If you plan on going for a long long time don't pick up any matches you see lying around but remember where they are and pick it up later.

[BlackConrad]

Odd, I haven't noticed any decrease in the wild life. I've pulled like 3-4 per day out of the same fishing hole and the only thing that's gone wrong is the line snapped. Must be a lot of those resources then compared to the man made stuff

Yes, wildlife does indeed respawn. Any type of lootable item, does not.

[BlueHawk]

Wildlife respawn but don't try to stay outside waiting for that XD. The lootable objects never re-spawn. Dayve, I hope you have a lot of fun playing this game. I think it's my favourite Steam game yet, and it's only beta, imagine that.

[Miandelam]

Sorry Blackconrad I was replying just in general, not specifically about wildlife. WIldlife thankfully respawns :D Would be nice though if it was a little more like: one wolf dies> wolf respawns in a slightly different place.

[graffiti boy here] Hi Miandelem. :D I see you changed your icon thingamajig. Interesting picture.[exeunt grafitti boy]

Yes I'm on a mission I think dead guy needs more dead friends

[Davakar]

Still a rookie here, but wouldnt you eventually run out of matches? IE the leaderboards have guys that have survived 900+ days, how are they able to continue to make fires?

[BlueHawk]

Yes! But there's a tool you might (rarely) find which you can use outdoors to light fires.

Whiiiich eventually breaks. It's unfortunate that eventually, you won't be able to light a fire at all.

So to Davakar, those guys with 900 days are probably hackers.

They make every match count, and boil tons of water and cook tons of food when they do make a fire. They play in such a way that they are sleeping 90% of the time, and only eat or drink once every couple days.

[BlueHawk]

Aaaand, thanks for pointing out it breaks down. I found one once, I died before I even considered using it.

By the way, seeping 90% of the time, eating or drinking once every couple of days ... sounds like illness XD

[Miandelam]

Or you can make a non stop fire I know there are a few doing that sirlancelittle I think for one, but don't know how long they last

[Davakar]

Well that is disappointing that you couldnt even learn how to start a fire without a match.
