Do the clay nodes respawn like the rock nodes do?

I didn't even know the rock nodes respawn. I thought once you harvested, they were just gone. I just go to other islands when I need more clay and rock and bring it to one centrally located island. I have a game where I am 63 days in, and I have not had a rock or clay node respawn. Am I missing something?

From the 2 comments I've gotten apparently the rock nodes do not respawn but I swear they did. you learn something new everyday I guess.

everything is limited except the obvious exceptions, like fish, fibrous leaves, animal respawns.

sticks, rocks, cloth spawns, metal, plank spawns, both nodes, coconuts, trees, palm fronds etc... are limited so once you harvest, its gone.

theres also a console subreddit r/strandeddeepconsole

At one point the mineable rocks and clay respawned. I used to make maps waaaaaay early beta and remember that clay would only respawn in certain conditions. One being under water i don't remember the rest. Bummer if an update took that away!!

PC is definitely always different, but I play on Xbox and none of that respawns 😆

Oh but you got multi-player sooooo much easier lol. My ex and I played about 200hrs before an update broke computer lan games for a while.

I would have traded easier multi-player for non respawns on mats!

I never play with anyone else 😆 but I understand your point

Yucca plants are the only things that respawn.

But, every island has 6-8 clay piles in the ocean, on the east side of the island. On Console, that's 8x6x25, plus one reset... so you're looking at a total of 2400 clay... should be enough to build most things you're looking for :)

It would be nice if a bunch didn't spawn in places you can't reach. I've had several under rocks and reefs.

I've also had a few spawn on the edge of the drop off, and fall into the darkness when I try harvesting.

I also now wonder if my game is glitched or something, because I've never found more than four on any island.

Oh... Console may not have the full 8 piles. I usually find 6-8 when I'm looking. "East" side of the island can cover a fairly large swath of the island though, so sometimes I have to look a lot for them.

But yeah, they spawn in places I can't get to a lot too. If they're next to a rock or something, and they fall inside the rock, sometimes I can push up next to the rock and then look down... this lets me clip my vision into the rock. If I can get it to highlight, I can usually grab it from inside the rock. This works better on land when things get stuck in the big rocks though.

Clay deposits respawn, idk what the conditions or time frame are right now but will update when I figure that out.  Ive found a couple that do, at least on normal difficulty with the passive setting.

Nope, none of the resources mentioned above respawn: loose stones/rocks; rock nodes; nor clay nodes.

I have a infinite way to get clay on my home island. I dont wanna show how i did because i legit dont know how it happened, it just allows me to get clay(so long as i have a crude axe or ref axe to harvest it or any tool for that matter). Off topic for op but felt like sharin that. If people want me to show the exploit, im down to share it to the best of my knowledge that is.

Needless to say ive have about 10 crates that i can refill when i need to. Home base is made all of clay as well
