Does quartzite and marble respawn?

[Caridor]

I'm really worried about upgrading the wrong thing now.

[Valhalla Awaits]

No, they don't. But don't worry too much, as you progress in the game you unlock alternative ways to get gear upgrades via killing creatures for materials which do respawn.

Does that include supreme quartzite, as I haven't yet seen a recipe for that one?
I would prefer using bug parts for that one too, as it wouldn't limit the amount of weapons I could bring to 9th level.

The recipe for supreme is baically right at the end of the game when you complete it

No they don't. There is plenty on the map though.

Theres not remotely plenty especially in MP. It was a bad change to make it finite.

There actually is enough for 4 player co-op as long as you don't have people waste it on tier 1 gear or multiple sets, or swap out friends. But I admit, it should be a bit more abundant.

I started a new playthrough on Whoah! difficulty for 1.0 and this has definitely been my biggest issue so far. I don't have T2 tools yet so I can't harvest the better rocks. I was planning to farm red ant hill to upgrade my Ant Club and Acorn armor only to realize they don't respawn. Have seen extremely little of the stuff outside of that area and I would have saved it for Ladybug armor had I known it didn't respawn.

They definitely respawn on normal difficulty, don't see why they wouldn't on whoa difficulty. Red ants in fact respawn instantly and in infinitely quantities if your killing them outside the anthill entrance. I killed over 400 of them and the tide never even slowed.

All normal mobs respawn each in game day.

Not the ants, the quartzite and marble is what's not respawning. And from what I read on a different thread apparently that's intentional now.

I have the recipie to craft the sturdy whetstone, but ONLY! from sturdy quartzite, i can craft brittle versions from bug parts, but ALL my gear is stunted at needed the mightly globs, which i can craft, but im severly lacking in sturdy quartz.

how do you get much of this?
