how to force a server resource reload? Like metal and such.

[dragonsphotoworks]

I dont have resources respawning at mountain. I didnt log after harvesting. Last time was hour before logging out. I seen the glitch where if harvest then log it wont respawn but i didnt do that. I know can wipe dinos for reset. But cant see how to do it for other items.

Also this is single player i should say.

if you insist on using single player mode, you should turn your resource respawn time to a lower value. do the same with the player radius for resource respawn.

It already is. I have base next to a river. And the stones, trees and all respawn fine. Its just the metal and such at mountain thats is acting up.

there is no command or process to respawn metal. i've seen posts detailing that if you leave the area. it was said that you need to be a good distance away from the affected area, something like a few minutes flight on a bird. reload the game at this point, then return to the area. how valid that information is, is anyones guess. i don't play single player so i cannot confirm

[dragonsphotoworks]

Hmm i tried that and didnt work. Guess ill just hunt the beaches for metal then. That is respawning at least lol
ok thanks

1. put ressources respawn timer to 0.0001. this way the moment you leave an area it will respawn. from now on, every time you farm a ressource, COME BACK to that point to check it is respawn before unlogging.

2. now to make disappeared ressources reappear:
this can be long and won't work necesseraly on the 1rst attemps.

go to the spot you want to respawn (like mountain top). put yourself in infinitestats mode (so you won't starve to death) and use the slomo 5 command to speed up time by 5 (don't go over, it makes the computer having to much to calculate and oftenly misses ressources).

now is the fun part : wait. it can take 15mn , 1h or 2h, leave the area from time to time (but not to often) to check if they wil instant respawn back (with 0.0001 timer) but mostly you have to wait on site to make the game remember at some point that ressources are supposed to be here.

like I said it can be long, nor work on the first attempts. so grab a coffee and do something else in the meantime (I mean for real, not in game), come back to check every 30mn or so. also you may have to do so for each ressources spawn you destroyed. finally it tends not to work on tek furniture (lightpost, benches) on extinction so beware of that as well.

when done don't forget to revert slomo to 1 (or leave the map, but make sure from now on to check respawn before leaving the map).

If the nodes are already broken... They can be fixed by launching the world as a Dedicated server.

Then browse to shootergame.exe and launch the game that way. Join your own dedicated server and travel to the affected area to load it in.

This, in conjunction with near immediate respawn times, should fix the nodes.

ah ok ill try that. As long as dont need do multiple reloading of saves... As its up to 1.5-2 hours each time i play. "ITs my fualt since on USB HDD and lot of large mods like S+ and dozens of dino addition mods."

that's not how the respawn bug works in solo mode
no node ever really disappear permanently, because if you put the timer on 0.00001 everything comes back

the true problem is
1) the map isn't running 24/7
2) nothing respawns out of rander range, so for example if your base is on carno island and you spend 90% of your time on carno island, all that time spent there will not count for the respawn timers of the metal on mountains, the respawn timers only run for the area within render range

this is one of the most horrible solo bugs, but trashdev wildcard made it clear they don't give a damn aboutsolo mode and no matter how broken it is, they will never fix it

play another game like conan exiles where the devs have more consideration for players

I have tried exiles btw. And it has just as much issues far as ive seen. And for one major issue now. I cant even play it anymore with out a mounted pak error thing that crashes game. Its odd though as i see game load in background. But no way close popup and play.. as soon as close error popup game closes. And reinstall.. not option. I have removed files and replaced fresh. ZERO mods.. And validated over 27 times. LITTERLY...

And even hunted for lines that error log reported and removed every file with error tag "Granite is current error i find" and validated and repatched game and nothing. So exiles isnt option as its broken completely for me.

@Guig, I tried your trick and it worked great thank you.

[guig]

glad I could help =)

[Liralen]

Glad the OP was helped, but it's interesting that the post quoted by the OP made by yet another 123 was deleted.

I first started playing Funcom games within a month of Anarchy Online's release, and The Secret World at release. I really loved Funcom back in the early days of gaming for trying to be innovative, but it's sad that they've been reduced to making content more mainstream, like Conan Exiles.

[dragonsphotoworks]

I like conan exiles. But i like other games to be made as well. Conan kinda like ark expect you dont tame animals. And what you do tame "thralls" are mostly useless as in they dont move around and do stuff. They are like stationary turrets or work stations :-(

And i didnt even realize post had been deleted. Thats weird..

[Zac's Dad]

I too saw that post and it is now gone. The reason you want high-level thralls is that it takes less time and less materials at the workstations. Some can follow you and kick butt for or with you. Some of mine just stand around and make the place look better. You don't tame animals -- you raise them.

That's all I got for this one -- this is an Ark forum.

And to stay on topic -- Zerassar's solution worked awesomely for me! I read it when he posted that somewhere else a while back and it worked fine.

Ark also has this 'refertilizer' or 'reseeder' you probably missed. You can just walk around and sprinkle the seeds on the ground and whatever used to be there will come back immediately. I have not tested if it fixes anything to do with respawning though. I use it when I realize I farmed the foliage too close to my base and it wouldn't grow back.

[dragonsphotoworks]

I marked answer to thread, sorry i forgot to do it earlier.

I seen that some where but dont remember where saw reseeder... I have not gone through every thing in ark just yet. So many engrams new to me.

2021 and resource respawning is still an issue. You have to admire the commitment to poor-quality that wildcard puts forth.

Play on a private server or online;
Big Bases take minutes to draw
Projectile weapons jam, or dont fire at times.

Play on Single Player;
Resources don't respawn.
Dinos have to be literally on top of each other to mate.

I dont know about servers as i dont play them...
Single player resources DO respawn. I just harvested area fast and flew off. So it messed respawn up. Its fixed now and respawns fine. I just glitched it earlier lol

As for mating... I had couple a couple yards apart and mated. Havent tried to see max range but they do fine so far.
