Single Player, Aberration, Metal doesn't spawn back
Hi!
I'm playing with Aberration in single player mode, but the metal nodes doesn't spawn back. I tried to modify the game.ini file with ResourcesRespawnPeriodMultiplier=.50 but the .ini file just reset after i start the single player. Any idea?

no need to go into ini settings
you can set this under options in the game
playing sp myself only never had problems with this case

spawn fine for me but you must wait a long time for that. Is longer than on Island :-/

Ini file isn't read only. My base isn't in the spawning zone. Everything is spawning back except metal. Even the far ones.
Where do i find these options in the option menu?

I am having this problem as well on single player. Specifically the cave to the surface in the north west part of the map. The cave was full of metal(in the form of stalagmites) and eventually I mined all the metal there. After a while I realized it wasn't spawning back. I also tried reducing the resource respawn period but it didn't seem to help. I have at least 15 hours since I've hit the first node in there. I'm also having problems with the way the resources are loading there. Occasionally all the metal appears to be back up but when I try to mine it, it is invisble and not actually there. I've also had "invisible nodes" that generally can't be mined but don't allow you to pass through them. Very frustraing. From my research I've found a few people with similar problem but haven't found a solution. Would be nice if someone has found a solution to this or a dev would please look into it. All other resources on the map seem to be fine even other "classic" metal nodes away from my base. Please help.

Turn off hibernation.

Single player still has a glitch where if you log out (or crash) before resources have naturally respawned than they dont respawn again. Setting respawn radius to be smaller as well as making respawn time 0.25 or even 0.1 might help it from occuring, the trick is remembering to let newly mined resources a chance to respawn before logging

What is the ACTUAL solution here?
not even bushes are spawning back for me.

What solution? Works fine just you must wait a longer time...

Ahh ok thanks!

I understand what you are saying but that doesnt seem to be my problem. These specific nodes never come back regardless of me logging. Hibernation is not on because this is single player as well. I've been on for numerous hours without logging and they still haven't come back. Only these metal nodes though, everything else works fine. Never had this problem on any other maps. Also if they were permanently removed, is there a command that resets all resources? Thanks.

One solution is to set resource respawn time to 0 and spawn into your world. Check to see if the resources have respawned (they 100% should have) and then exit out and set your respawn time back to whatever you had it at before

nope still doesn't bring these specific ones back

I'm having the same problem. Trees, bushes and crystals are respawning fine, but the metal nodes are not. I'm far enough away, no buildings near by, I've set the respawn timer to 0, still nothing. Also, my dung beetle will not produce fertilizer and the crops in my plots will not get past the first stage of growth.
