Cut down all the trees and bushes

Has anyone clear cut the World? Do they grow back? Is there a total energy estimate from burning it all?

Plants to not grow back.

No, they do not grow back, but with major updates like now with U8 everything is reset.
And as a tip do not hold on to the biomass that is just annoying and have skipped it as soon as possible.

I dont use Biomass, bringing a 100 Reactor Nuke online in current save. Was just wondering aloud what the total Biomass output would be for the whole world. I know most everything else has been added up and was wondering if anyone did the same with Bio.

There is also a big negative to harvesting biomass (not from hostile creatures):
It will bloat your save file as the game is saving what you changed and not what is there.

I have used explosives for clearing, seems wasteful though.

I enjoy Imkibtz videos, learned a lot watching them.

They don't grow back, but it will respawn eventually. I was doing this until previous areas were back to normal. I don't know if the game has a limit to what it can remember on removed vegetation or not.

Depending on where your cutting, a full stack of refined biomatter can clear just about any location with ease and in return give you enough plant material to make tons of stacks. Personally I found the area just above the plains starting zone the most annoying to clear out due to the trees being on several levels, but as one person said, they respawn eventually, one area I was working on hours prior I had returned to later to work on, only to discover all the trees and plants had grown back, idk if thats related to the creature respawns because I also found the Spitters had respawned at the nodes there to, so it looked to me like it was based on if you have factories in that area or not situation
