How do I get resources to respawn on my non-dedicated server without the use of the re-fertilizer

(re-fertilizer isn't very effective)
I've already tried to just let them respawn but it isn't working also I don't know how to get the metal and other rare resources to spawn

Are your base structures nearby? If so, stuff won't respawn within a certain radius of your foundations and other structures. Also, if you got S+ on your server and a boosted feeding radius on the feeding trough, this will also prevent respawn of stuff within that radius... usually it helps to pick up the feeding trough and put it down again to initiate a respawn (as long as the normal respawn time already passed).

You can change the respawn radius around your base as well as the respawn timer in the config files of the game (Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini).

I've already changed the respawn timer and the stuff not respawning are nowhere near my base

What did you set the multiplier to?
And actually, since I don't have it at hand right now, is it an interval or a period multiplier?

If memory serves right, re-fertilizer is meant specifically for resource spawns blocked by structures, as everything else will respawn by itself.

The problem is that the resources just wont respawn at all and ive tried all the conventional methods of waiting and going out of render distance

this setting requires you to start a new ark map from scratch if i remember correctly. you cannot change it on an already established map.
