Plant Respawns

[SweetNightmare]

So I noticed that in story mode plants respawn extremely quickly. My question is do plants respawn in survival as well, albeit at a slower rate?

I've been told no, they don't respawn in Survival mode. Which sucks because I adore those cat tails. Even if not totally realistic it would be nice to have them respawn after a while.

Don't be so sure of that.. Something that has happened a number of times (not every time, mind you) during alpha is, when an update patch is released, as a side-effect, all plants respawn. Since there have been 6 updates in the last 2 weeks, it seems more likely to me that one or more of those caused the respawn. We can't know for sure until the patching frenzy has settled down.

That's kind of what I suspected. It just kind of sucks when you've got a good base going and have to move cause you took all the plants, lul. I guess that wouldn't really happen much though.

If you're reliant on plants being there, it wasn't really a "good base"... 

(My definition of a good base is: Good shelter with lots of storage, a stove and a workbench, rabbits and deer nearby, and no wolves or bears wandering past your door.)
