Question about respawning

[TonyInPleasantValley]

Anyone know if things harvested from the wild respawn? I feel like some things maybe do and some things not so much? I am talking cat tails, reishi, rose hips, maples and birch? If so, any feel for how many in game days it takes? Would seem that this stuff would regrow over time, but perhaps its not that way...curious!

Only birch bark

I've seen some legends about respawning cat tails, but if it wasn't just missed previously that's a bug

No harvestables respawn. Plants and saplings don't return once they are harvested. 

 

However, in 2.06 you can find cat tails, birch saplings, and maple saplings while beach combing. But reishi and rosehips are a limited resource, but so abundant that you probably won't run out of it. I say 2.06 because I don't know what changes to loot and beach combing are coming tomorrow with the new update.

Thanks! I could of sworn I got all the rose hips from Crystal loooong ago, but yesterday I noticed two bushes full of them and that is what got me thinking that maybe after almost a year in survival that they eventually return. Guess I just missed them the hundreds of times I walked by them, lol.

It's a good question @TonyInPleasantValley and one I've posed myself.  I had a 2100+ day run that I swore I had gotten all cattails on but I would still find some in areas I had been to dozens of times.  I tacked it up to my own oversight when I was initially "gathering them all".  The only way to truly verify they do grow back would be to take screenshots of cleared areas, then come back after 1000, 2000, ? days and check the cleared spots.

I just saw there is a mod to regrow harvestables...
