In Windrose, a survival game, players are learning that once they chop down a tree, it does not respawn, leading to a finite supply of wood. Wood is crucial for crafting tools, building structures, and contributing to farming efforts. Unlike trees, other resources such as mining deposits and food replenish every six hours, creating a disparity in resource management. Players have debated the tree respawn issue on forums, and a developer confirmed the unfortunate reality. However, many players assert that wood is still plentiful, especially on the starting island and while exploring. They suggest sailing to collect wood from various locations, alleviating concerns about a potential wood shortage. The game's developer, Kraken Express, has not indicated any plans to change the tree respawn mechanics in the future.
