Anyone familiar with crafting in most games knows how crucial it is to find a deposit of resources close to wherever your crafting bench is. Even better is if a game has resource nodes that respawn—it makes harvesting and crafting much easier. Luckily for Palworld players, we have good news.

Do trees respawn in Palworld?

Yes, trees will respawn shortly. It takes roughly 24 hours of in-game time, so all you need to do is wait or pass the time by sleeping in a bed located in your base before these objects respawn.

In my experience playing on Xbox, even building a house or structure close to a tree won’t stop it from respawning. I cut down a tree and built my house next to it, and the next thing I knew, I had branches creeping through my window the following day. Keep that in mind when plotting your dream home’s location.

Does stone respawn in Palworld?

Like other resources, stone takes an entire in-game day to respawn. Like trees, stone is readily available throughout Palworld, but even if you struggle to locate some, stone respawns. 

Does ore respawn in Palworld?

Once again, like other resources, ore will respawn after an entire in-game day. So, plan accordingly when building your home base location.

Do chests respawn in Palworld?

Lastly, yeschests will even respawn after 24 in-game hours. Additionally, chests can even respawn into a different color chest. 

Palworld resource respawn times

It takes 24 in-game hours for resource nodes to respawn. Be careful when you are building, though. If you build a structure over a resource’s spawn area, the resource will not respawn.

These resources respawn, which means you can set up your workshop close to a collection of boulders and trees and trust that you’ll never have to travel far. With all that saved time, you’ll be able to craft much faster without having to lug around Wood or Stone. Similarly, suppose you have Pals doing the heavy lifting for you. In that case, you’ll never have to worry about the resource nodes in your base becoming infinitely depleted while you’re out on your adventures.

This is good news if you want to avoid building structures like a Stone Pit or Logging Pit, which also provide infinite resources. The only difference between harvesting from a standard resource node and one of these structures will be the period you’ll need to wait while the node respawns.


There you have it! You know everything you need to know about resources respawning in Palworld. Enjoy!
