As the evolution shop is granting plenty of tools to harvest resources, the resource depletion is becoming a larger issue.

The resources are often depleted to near 0, and will take a long time to recover (not that they will get that time since they will be harvested as soon as they appear).

Currently, the ways to delay such depletions are:

• movelock / gazebo of chaos the depleter (very short solution)

• use land cleanser (multiple people, the depleter needs to stay in the location long enough for fight, you move him scene by scene and they can still harvest)

• verbal pleading ( does not work)

• possibly ferry travel ? (not tested, quite hard to obtain spell)

Potential idea: a new tool/spell obtainable from evolution shop that would protect the resources? I imagine there could be quite a few variants to this, like the defense only works while the player stays in that location, or it movelocks the player, etc. If this worked only for a single scene, it would require a group of players to organize defenses and focus on defending the multiple locations. But any anti-gatherable defense would only make sense if it is able to go on for longer time.

Please share your ideas in this thread how we can solve this:)

I would love to see more resource regenerating abilities. Some possible ways we could achieve that:

1. Natural Renewal — Restores a small percentage of a location’s depleted natural resources.

2. Seeds of Regrowth — Consumes one unit of a resource (Knator Dung etc) to slowly generate additional units of the same resource at that location.

3. Resource Infusion — Converts personal heat into regeneration progress for a selected resource.

4. Cycle of Plenty — Temporarily increases the natural regeneration rate of resources in the current location.

5. Deep Roots — Regenerates branches, tree bark, herbs, flowers, and tea leaves, but only in locations where those resources naturally occur.

6. Gatherer’s Restraint — Instead of harvesting a resource, you nurture it. The resource count increases after a delay, rewarding players for not taking everything.

7. Essence Reclamation — Converts spent or processed resource products back into a portion of their original raw resource.

8. Land’s Bounty — A land-affiliated ability that restores resources within your homeland. Its strength increases with your land loyalty or activity.

9. Resource Transmutation — Sacrifice several units of one natural resource to regenerate one unit of another compatible resource. For example, branches → tree bark or herbs → flowers.

10. Awaken the Land — A powerful, long-cooldown ability that causes a depleted location to begin regenerating all of its native resources, rather than immediately spawning them. The more depleted the location, the greater the effect.

I can't believe anybody would be so terrible as to deplete the resources in such a manner, at such a speed.

That being said, land cleansers are a good tool. Perhaps more people unlocking weathers would also help. It feels manageable at the moment, if people want to band together and stop it.
