Resource no spawning

[Wise]

ok i need help i have a server running and i want the trees and what not to spawn back where they used too but nothing

ResourceNoReplenishRadiusPlayers=0.25


ResourceNoReplenishRadiusStructures=0.25
ResourcesRespawnPeriodMultiplier=0.50
but still nothing so i had the server run for 4 or 5 hrs and still nothing can any one help do i need to add this to the server start bat to get working

ResourcesRespawnPeriodMultiplier=0.50 is ultra slow respawn or not? try to change it to 5 or higher if you want to see it growing

That is a common fallacy that people seem to have for some reason, at 0.25 it should respawn pretty quickly, I tested the new respawn radius, and changed the ResourceNoReplenishRadiusPlayers=X to I think 0.1 and it was nearly instant. I do VERY much believe that increasing that value will also increase spawn times, try to lower it, and restart your server, place a random foundation somewhere - spawn a bronto and clear it and watch out fast it respawns (I'd also suggest lowering the radius to something like 0.01) just for testing that is.

if your theory is right that would be super dumb. then it need a fix for sure because radius = radius and not radius + spawntime. and server admins would search for the reason why everything is respawning :D

i got my info from that site thats why i have it set the way it is but still nothing

"ResourcesRespawnPeriodMultiplier float 1.0 Specifies the scaling factor for the respawn rate for resource nodes (trees, rocks, bushes, etc.). Lower values cause nodes to respawn more frequently." This is correct, but I see people making this value HIGHER expecting resources to respawn faster, which is not the case. The radius is just for testing purposes so you are able to see how quickly it can respawn, nothing to do with the actual time, sorry if I confused you there. I do not however, know if this is a retroactive change, you may need to delete /SaveArks in order to get it working properly, every time I run tests I do it on a new Ark. Are you running this server on your local box or dedicated host?

[Wise]

ok im on a dedicated on my pc the one you get out of steam tool i have no mods running i did what u said still the trees wont respawn next to the base the serv ran all night i wonder if you can only have one you can have fast respawn or close spawns but not both i may test this i also have a qu im geting a server box and i want to move the world saves from my pc to the server can i do that

[MEEP]

Yeah, I'd suggest maybe trying to test your changes in a new location, like I said it may not be retroactive to previously build structures. You can also move your saved world to another box pretty easily, just copy your ShooterGame/Saved/SavedArk | to the same path on your new box, and all will be the same when you log into it.

I have my ResourceNoReplenishRadiusStructures=0.15 on a Hosted Server using my old saved game from before this parameter was added and I immediately noticed it growing back. I have my ResourcesRespawnPeriodMultiplier=5.00 which normally results in slower regrowth but when I added the other parameter that happened instantly. Since then, it growing back has taken some time but it is up very close to my base (inside the fences).

I would like to make the respawn of my resources super slow where to I copy/paste these scripts into to make ti work? Tab in game or ini file?

the game .ini file, should be located under ShooterGame\Saved\Config\WindowsServer\GameUserSettings.ini for the resource respawn multiplier, and just \Game.ini for the reswpan radius

ok but when i make changes to the game ini and start the server the codes vanish

that is odd, in for Game.ini are you putting the line under [/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]

?? For example mine looks like so;

[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
ResourceNoReplenishRadiusPlayers=0.2
ResourceNoReplenishRadiusStructures=0.2

While my GameUserSettings.ini has this line in it;
[ServerSettings]
ResourcesRespawnPeriodMultiplier=0.5

[Fanible]

Worked fine for me, and I didn't find it necessary to adjust the grow time. I only changed the radius to 0.25. Everything grew back/in shortly after restarting the server.

The file located here:
/ShooterGame/Saved/Config/WindowsServer/Game.ini

Has only the following inside it:
[/script/shootergame.shootergamemode]
ResourceNoReplenishRadiusPlayers=0.25
ResourceNoReplenishRadiusStructures=0.25

there is noting in the game.ini file unless u go to CleanSourceConfigs there there are stuff in that

It does have nothing by default in it. It's that empty file that you add in the new lines. It's a little odd that your server would be deleting it all once the server starts.

And you are making sure this is being done when the server is offline, yes? Because the file will indeed be reverted back to blank, if you attempted updating the file while the server is running.
