Respawning ores of all types on open world mode
Let’s get respawning ores on open world maps, it’s fun to use open world as a sand box and really build out the tier 3 & 4 tech trees. Unfortunately ores don’t respawn so you end up having to go to to the side of the map to get resources and it takes the fun out of it after awhile. After having over 200 hours in the game, gets boring spending the whole time running further and further away exhausting all the ores nearby the base you build.

Maleficusss_ MergedThe main mode of icarus consists of missions.
In this mode you have to achieve objectives and build everything from beginning each time. It is original! It works as an idea!
In the secondary mode called "Open World" you have whole maps to build pretty much whatever you want and wherever you want. Nicely it works as an idea! Too bad, though, that no resources respawn again on the map. Now if you play several hours and especially with friends ... This is not a little problem!
Maybe oxygen won't be a problem for a year....
But sulfur is necessary!
Building in aluminum, concrete, glass requires a lot of stone, silicon, epoxy etc etc.
Powering quite a lot of lighting in buildings requires generators because it's very nice to see all lights and playing at night!
Powering generators requires wood, fibers... the fastest resources to obtain.
Now, storms on Icarus are very frequent and burn or collapse trees completely.
So in the long run, trees will become a serious problem.

Richard MergedAgreed, running out of resources will eventually become an issue, especially if you live in that world only.
Also, it would be nice to look out over a cliff down on a forest scene, but eventually all the trees burn down or fall over in storms, leaving you with a desolate wasteland. It would be nice if they came back
On the other hand... you don't want trees coming back in the middle of your base (or rocks, Oxite, whatever...) That's something to thing about. -

TGiJoe725 MergedI think having an Ore Respond Time Limit would be great for open world! Yes, there are ore deposits but it just doesn't produce fast enough especially once you get to "Mid Game". Just a thought!

Alex MergedI know many have posted about this before but i just wanted to add my ideas. I have seen post about this and it would be great if they integrated this with out a timer and have a natural world re-spawn instead. Having Rock Slides off the mountains for ores (sulfur, oxide, Silica Ore, stone) and maybe natural event with mediator showers. Also to re-spawn the caves, have an earthquake event where it shakes caves or opens up new and more parts of exciting caves. And trees i feel like are covered regrow/replanting in other comments.

Roderick MacIntosh Jr MergedTrees, bushes, all organic life should regrow. Could have it, small trees yield sticks, let grow becomes trees. Trees yield wood. Cut tree in time regrows to small trees. Cut stump and tree is
permanently gone. Storm killed trees replaced in time with small trees. Bushes in time grow bushes. As far as Ore? Finite Ore ok but maybe consider occasional Asteroid Storms. Storms yield common to rare Ore. Asteroid very able to damage buildings or kill person. This way Ore still remains almost finite but will occasionally drops Iron or if lucky Platinum etc. LOVE OPEN WORLD. Does need to be Optimized. -

SkyNett81on a dedicated server needs to have all resources in game re-spawn . if not we will get out of resources and cant play on the Open world.
i do have a server with 7 other friends. resources dont last for ever.
and the there should be an option to chose how frequent storms come.
GameAdmins should have this power for storms ,resources and so on and make custom settings for the server.
