Metal rock regen?

[Eralus]

Does anyone know how long metal rocks take to regenerate after mining? I harvested a mine and 14 hours later no sign of any new rocks. I'm not sure if this is because someone else has been inside recently and mined or whether they just take a very long time to respawn.

If you stay too close it will not regen as quickly as it should. We have a cave at about 30 sec of running with a raptor or sabertooth from our base and the metal rocks inside respawn really quickly imo. Every half hour or hour later its right there ready to be mined.

I'm within a 60 second walk with no mount of a cave. is that why it's so slow?

Weve built an outpost on a metal mountain and usually after 1-2 hours everything is respawned already, i fly across half the map though.

they're respawning quicker now...a few patches ago they revised the spawn in times to make em quicker. But yeah, if you're too close that could be why. I'm hitting a mountain top which is a fair hike from us every couple hours and its always chock full when I go back.

I've been having the same problem. Does it not respond in caves? I cleared out my first cave and the metal still hasn't respawned after multiple hours. The respawn is set high so that thins respawn quickly. I know it works because I clear out an area near my base and by the time I'm done the starting point is respawning. It's only the cave things haven't responded. Specifically, the metal. The crystals have come back, but metal and obsedian have not.
