Respawn time of trees and rocks
Approximately how long it takes resources out again in single player?

Thanks in advance

Trees take longer than the 166 hours I've put into single player :( They never seem to respawn :(

Rocks respawn after a day or three.

I cut my trees around my house ( 5 days ago ) and the trees come never back ^^

Anything within range of a foundation never grows back (well some bushes or really small trees might, but NOT the shade providing trees nor larger rocks)

According to what I've read from other posts, trees only respawn near other trees, so if you clear all trees on an island they are not likely to grow back.

Trees and rocks respawn within 30 minutes for me. Make sure some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hasn't dropped a thatch foundation somewhere in the middle of the forest (even after the demolition timer, there are some people who think they own everything so they drop foundations to stop others from building near them). Of course, if you dropped your own foundation and built a house, there's a radius around it where things won't grow back. This includes metals, crystals and some dino respawns so plant those foundations carefully. In one case I thought I was clear of metals deposits at the very top of a hill but someone told me it blocked a bunch of deposits I didn't see so I moved that outpost.

not sure about single player, but on official servers seems to be about 30min-60min (in my experience).
Tress and rocks near our base never seem to come back.

respawn rates are different per server. in single player you can change the respawn rate with the sliders.

Also, I believe you need to move a bit away from the spot where the tree will spawn (they also may be doing it when the spot is not on screen so turning away or moving outside of view distance and coming back can trigger a respawn.

I only cut down palm trees and small trees at the beach on my single player game, because the larger forest trees take eternities to respawn and don't really yield more resources than a palm tree which often respawns directly behind me while I'm harvesting.
