Upon reflection, considering how amazing their uses are, I'm not surprised at how limited a resource they are. So, the important part of this post is this question:are you saying that this Cave Regeneration thing is a mechanic that is no longer a thing/has been removed from the game? If so, then I will create a new thread with my own suggestions.

This thread seems to suggest that is is possible.

I am obviously new, and I didn't know what this CR thing was, and can't find any info on it, I was also really excited to see that my favourite mob in the game can be made a renewable resource. This discussion is about respawnable Mandrakes, and it's last comment is that they exist. This is not a snyde remark, please don't misinterpret - is this not the 'done thing' here - was I better off creating a new thread vs reopening an old one? I was looking under suggestions to see if there were any threads that had addressed my question, before creating a new one - as is standard practice in a forum (not rehashing stuff that's been addressed - that's what old posts are for, to save the same discussion from being brought up over and over as new topics).

So I'm new to the game (about 40 hours in, day 150 for the first time). Second of, mandrakes do not respawn, and 'cave regeneration' was a thing a while ago. First of, thanks for necro-ing that topic up.
