    Flora of the Western United States

    In the Holland Valley (John Seeds Region) I have been gathering Jimsome Weed from the collapsed tunnel on the far western side of the map (where you can find the hidden rpg) and there is no more Jimsome Weed anywhere.... When I first started playing it was Everywhere like well a weed... But I went the other day and there was only 1 single solitary Plant by itself, after I picked it I went to a different region, did some missions, came back still no Jimsome Weed, went to another region did some missions came back still no Jimsome Weed.

    So I figured it's obviously a bug/glitch/game error... But Ubisoft doesn't agree. Within 2 hour of me submitting my support ticket they closed it without any response.

    So I had to reopen it and ask why It was closed and why I wasn't provided any help.

    I got this response:
    "We are only able to assist with technical issues such as errors, freezes and crashes. We are unable to help with gameplay related queries."

    I replied:
    "Uh huh, and THIS IS a TECHNICAL ISSUE such as an ERROR in the GAME! Which is why I gave as much detail about the TECHNICAL ISSUE as I could.

    This is NOT a gameplay related query!"

    The reply I got:
    "That item not spawning is something that was caused by recent patches. Since no amount of troubleshooting will solve this issue, this is not a technical issue. You are free to talk about it on the forums and maybe something will happen in the next patch."

    However when I preform a search for "Plants" & "respawn" specifically, and only in the Far cry 5 section of this forum, I get about 500 pages of stuff from "Space Monkey program" & "Anno 1800" & "Horse Haven" & "Deep six"... None of which are in the Far Cry 5 forum, nor do they have anything to do with the Far Cry 5 game, and i don't wanna read 500 pages of stuff that has nothing to do with the issue I'm having.

    So I don't know what else to do but to make a new thread and hope someone found someway to glitch it back into respawning?

    Does anyone have any help they can provide? Or can you direct me to any other forum discussions about this issue?

    Hi gkennedy88! I apologize for your ticket experience recently. This doesn't appear to be a reported issue, and do not remember any previous reports of this happening. Jimson weed can be found mostly anywhere, but especially in Faith's Region near the Hope County Jail. Where have you been checking?

    Really? It's the very first thing I said at the top of my post!

    Did you not read all of my post?

    According to Ubisoft Customer Support this is an issue that has been reported, as they stated in a reply to the support ticket I sent in... This information was also included in my post.

    It doesn't really matter where I pick them from because no matter where you pick them from, once you've picked them all, they will NEVER RESPAWN!



    Please read the entire post before asking questions which I've already answered in the post!

    I was asking if you have checked in any other regions.

    Regarding the ticket response, there was confusion on what was being reported. This is not a previously reported issue. I apologize for any confusion or frustration.

    I have the markers for the others spots, I haven't actually went to one yet. However I assume the flowers are there in the other spots, just as they were here in this spot when i first started the game, the problem doesn't occur until after I pick them.

    After I have picked a flower, it does not regenerate, or respawn.

    Can you double check to see?

    Idk how this is going to help provide any information of value about why plants aren't respawning......


    I went to another Jimsome Weed location, and just like I said there probably would be, the Jimsome Weed plants are there in the other location.

    However after I pick one of the Jimsome Weed flowers, they are no more, and do not respawn. Just like I said they wouldn't do, at the location I mentioned in my original post.

    It has nothing to do with location, or flower/plant type, it's all the plants on the whole map, once I pick them, no matter where they are located, they dissapear, and never respawn. So I have to move to a new spot to pick them, but once I pick a flour in the new spot it never respawns. So I'll end up with no plants that I can harvest anywhere on my map, because every location of every plant isn't respawning...


    Is this clear enough now????????

    I replied to the thread with the answers you asked for, yet still haven't heard back from you, so I thought I'd provide another update.

    It has been 2 weeks now since I noticed the Jimsome Weed plants in the Holland Valley (John's Region), near the collapsed tunnel on the west side of the map were not respawning.

    I've also played the game many more hours since then, not sure how many hours exactly, or how many in game day cycles I've went through, but I decided to go check this spot again to see if anything has changed.

    Unfortunately though nothing has changed, there are still no Jimsome Weed plants at this location to pick anymore.

    However like I said in my last post, there are Jimsome Weed plants at the other marked locations on the map, but just like this location, as soon as I pick them, they are gone forever, and will not respawn.

    It's not just the Jimsome Weed plants either. There is a Prairie Fire plant picking spot located north west of Angels Peak, pretty much at the base/bottom of Angels Peak mountain where Joseph's statue was/is, right next to some an unnamed little lake. The McLean residence is directly to the west, and The Pillars of Eden is to the south west of this location.

    I picked a lot of the Prairie Fire Plant from this location and it too is not respawning, because there is only 3-5 plants left here that I haven't picked, where as it was full of them all over the place when I started, just like the Jimsome Weed plant was in the Holland Valley.

    So it's not just Jimsome Weed plants, it's all plants, once I pick them, they are gone forever, never to return, respawn, or regrow.

    It also strikes me as annoying/hilarious that the plants you need to pick in game, to make the homeopathic serums have this issue of not respawning, meanwhile if you burn off a HUGE field of those stupid Bliss flowers, the next time you come back to that filed, they are all back/regrown.

    So the plants you want to destroy and have stay gone, come back like weeds, and the plants you need, and want to come back, stay dead/don't grow back, or respawn.... Seems kinda back-***-wards to me.

    I cannot be the only person who has/is experiencing this issue. So it is very surprising that I'm the first to be reporting it here, and that it isn't listed as a known issue, even though Ubisoft knows about it.

    Is there anything else you might like to know?

    I apologize for the delay in response! Thank you so much for your detailed report. I sincerely appreciate it. I will double check with the team, as I'm not 100% sure if they are supposed to respawn in the same spot.

    From what I understand, Ultimate Hunter just needs 2 x Prairie Fire + 2 x Mustard + 2 x Jimson Weed. How many of the items were you able to pick? Just one of the Jimson Wood and Prairie Fire?

    I would have to look to make sure on the numbers needed of each one, but your probably right. I've crafted it many many times, and consumed it many man times, so I can't give you an exact number of how many was there when i first started before I picked any. I never thought to count them at all.

    Whatever number of plants are supposed to be there when u first start out, is probably exactly how many was there... But as I picked them they never grew back... Or respawned

    Is there anything else you would like to know.
