No problem! Currently if you remove them they just respawn, so I assume if fixed it would continue the same behavior as other collectibles and harvestable objects (like flowers and trees) in other worlds which follow the same behavior. Of course I can't say what will and won't break in a future patch for sure. But you shouldn't lose it forever and if that did happen then it'd just mean a new bug report haha.
Currently what I do is just remove them all periodically because they will respawn anyways after I load into the lot and stay there for a few moments, as I believe they clone themselves in the neighborhood every time you load into the lot. I've never personally had an issue getting the patches to all come back.
Thanks, so they will respawn anyway, right?
I want to ask one more question: do we have to stay for a while before it respawns again? Because I tried to travel between two neighborhoods many times while pausing the game, but no new prairie.
Currently, I use a mod that prevents spawning, but after trying a new save without it and traveling a few times, I still can't find a new spot on the prairie. So, I want to know your case as a reference when I try again next time.
But I feel better right now after having this workaround. I believe that when it's fixed, prairies should be the same as the plants, not respawn in the same spot over 100 times.
Yea I notice you have to wait a minute or so IRL for it to respawn. It doesn't always happen right away. If you do that and it still doesn't respawn after a minute or so, I just travel somewhere else and come back and it's usually there.
Honestly I just go back to playing like normal and it works itself out rather than me trying to force it.
I see, thank you so much! I'll try to play as usual without the mod to stop spawning, and let it regrow.
As long as we can gradually remove it (not like a festival bug that can't be removed), it is still fine and live with it before the bug fixing "someday".
