Resources not respawning on Ragnarok? (Singleplayer)

[Lone Wolf]

For some reason, my resources are not respawning on the Ragnarok map. I messed with the settings (singleplayer) and still nothing.
When the game updated, most of the "cleared out" resources respawned (as in, I had rocks/ trees in my structures), but now I cannot get anything to respawn, not even a tree on the other side of the map.
What could be doing this?
Thanks for the help.

I am having ths happen to me too on 2 maps that I've tested so far, The Island and The Center. With me, it's on an unofficial hosted server. I have no dinos near the area, our resource replenish radius is tiny, and our resource replenish time is small, however resources are not respawning within any proximity to buildings within draw distance. If I don't harvest anything near where I can see a structure placement, then they will respawn, but anything in range of view of a structure is permanently gone regardless of our settings.

I was trying to isolate if this was mod related. My structures are a combination of S+ and Castles, Keeps, and Fortresses pieces. Are you using those mods too?

[Lone Wolf]

Nope, I'm not using those mods.

It just puts a damper on the game. I don't feel like wanting to play if it doesn't work right...

In your settings make sure you had respawn cranked up to be almost instant if you wish. If you are using the default settings, then only things respawn around you typically as other subzones outside of render distance go into stasis.

Alternatively, you can also significantly adjust resource rates so that even if you cannot get them to readily respawn, you can instead be able to get the resource you need without having to deplete large swathes of land/areas.

[Lone Wolf]

Yup, it is set to almost instant. It still won't respawn

Yea, that's what I'll probably have to do if I were to play. I just hope that this gets fixed soon..

I feel the same way, mostly because I used to use passive harvesters in my fenced-in base compound and now it's nothing but bare dirt all over the place. We had resource spawn time and radius set to fastest/smallest radius and it was working fine before but they definitely borked it. We're also eating and drinking a lot more often, it's almost like the server is not loading our config files or something!

[Lone Wolf]

It's Wildcard. It's to be expected. They fix something while breaking many things at the same time. Maybe someone might make a mod that makes resources respawn..

Yes, I'm a bit irked.. Just when the game is running quite lag-less for me and starting to become fun again, along comes a reason why I don't want to play again..

Single player is a lower priority for them to address issues with... around the level of QoL fixes really. Since you can adjust settings or mods or even spawn in anything, they dont consider it an issue of major consequence atm.

Can't spawn in metal rocks.. or trees, not even a branch.
A person shouldn't have to change their settings or playstyle because a developer is too lazy to make their game work correctly.

Is anyone else encountering this on single player? Anyone know a fix for this?

[El Destructo]

It's an old bug from years ago that they fixed and apparently reintroduced in time for official release. Who knows when they'll ever acknowledge they broke it again. I've stopped playing in the mean time.

Only way to avoid this happening is to set respawn times low enough that you can afford to leave the game running until all harvested resource nodes respawn before closing the game. Anything still not respawned when the local server is killed will be permanently lost, can't even recover them with Re-Fertilizer.

If the game crashes after you harvest a bunch of the crystal and metal nodes, you're basically screwed unless you have a backup of your save.

I had resource respawn radius around players and structures both set to .7 and my render distance on epic.
I could "see" (render) well beyond the shortened resapwn distance. This seemed to be preventing the resources from respawning. The resources don't seem to respawn if their location is within render distanmce. When I reduced the render distance to High, resources started respawning just outside the render distance.

But I notice that with render dtstance on epic and moving into an area. the dinos look like they are still in stasis for a while after they render. They remain stationary for some time as you move toward them, then as you get closer, they will begin moving.about. It is as if the render distance is more than the stasis distance.

I reduced the render distance to High and it seems to have aleviated some of the issue.

It seems "somebody" has allowed the render distance to exceed the stasis distance. Resources don't respawn because the area goes into stasis BEFORE it leaves render distance. They won't respawn if you can still render them, and by the time you are out of render distance they are already in stasis... and so never respawn.

Optimization... Ha !

I am having this issue in Single Player as well, the trees will not respawn

[crimsondrac]

Like someone else has said, this is a long time bug in the game and Wildcard has no interest in fixing it. Your only alternative is to either stop playing or convert your single player game into a locally hosted dedicated server game. Other than that, you may as well start learning the commands to spawn in stone, wood, metal and any other harvestable resources.

Having this issue also on my local multiplayer server my friend and I play on. I'm running Annunaki Genesis, could that be the issue?

[Rebelweasel]

Personally, I found it was the S+ Tek Trough that caused my problem.

Do u mean nearby at your base or in the whole map?
If structues nearby at the resources they doesnt respawn.
Or maybe u have resource respawn multplier on very high and it need a while to spawn?
Try to do the resource respawn multplier to like 0.01 and try it out.
