I am really hoping this is a bug because for me its a game killer. I understand planting trees from seeds because trees do not respawn but out of 60 hours of gameplay I have found 1 palm seed. Not only that but it is incredibly redudant that Hardwood trees do not respawn and do not drop seeds. I need hardwood for several upgrades but my friend and I have cleared out 3-4 islands now and still dont have enough for upgrades. This has to be a bug. There is no way the devs would make trees a limited resource in the game while Iron and Copper respawn. Please someone confirm that this is a bug or tell me a work around because dropping to a single player server to farm resources is incredibly frustrating.

Then the devs need to add tree respawns if thats the case. Soft locked because i dont want to deforest my whole server

There were already people submitting suggestion for that issue so you are not the first. I also do think tree should respawn as well outside bonfire especially the hardwood one because it's essential resource for progression and they are only found in small groves which are not as abundant as normal wood.

Then why does the General Chat server state that hardwood trees respawn?
Even a moderator

Well I haven't seen that reply yet, but I played solo so I just jump to the other island when I need more hardwood. I haven't checked myself, but if that's the case then no complain.

My friend and I have tested it. Chopped Hardwood trees completely and some we left with stumps. Came back hours later and nothing on either of them. To me this is a bug since several people are stating they regrow but they are not for our server.

Then I think you need to specifically mention the hardwood one or the divi-divi I think is the name of the trees
tardy fable
Mention it where? I made an in game bug report and said it in general chat. No one has a clear answer.

Divi-divi trees respawn, thats true.
Ordinary palms/ficuses does not, you can re-seed them but the seed are somewhat rare.
From the mid-game you can solve the wood demand by ordering a bunch of wood for piastres from a merchant.

i was told it takes 5 game days for them to respawn if u leave the stumps but i have yet to see it

Thats a fake urban legend.

+1 can we at least have it as a server option for tree's to respawn outside of bonfire aura

They do not. I chopped down a divi divi patch at 8am this morning, it's now coming up on midnight and the trees still ain't back.

A agree with this +1. Tress should respawn even the palm and ficus ones. Tho I plan to clear cut an entire island just once for the fun of it.

Only the trees that do not yield seeds respawn. Excluding the banana trees, those respawn.

I clear my stumps for extra wood, my divi's always respawn, palms you have to plant. You can order seeds from the merchant. I can't say about the tar/plague trees because you dont really need that much of those.

I think trees not respawning is not a good design decision - or I dont understand the reason. Sure, you can pick up boxes in the ocean or order wood via the merchant. But why can't I farm wood if I prefer to without ruining the beautiful landscape? If it's to counter mega-bases: Just increase the amount of wood required for walls, beams, stairs, etc. - right now building gigantic bases feels way too easy anyway.

i mean trees grow in the real world. It makes no sense to not respawn at all. I'm on board with them re-growing SLOWLY... but they def have to respawn. Its a pain to cut down trees even using your ship so there's really no good way to cut them down, but I like having some trees by my base but i need wood too.

The easy solution is to make it a world setting and let players decide wether or not they respawn along with options for respawn timers. You would be surprised how many balance arguments you can simply eliminate by making the variables in question accessible in some type of advanced world options menu
