Just to clear up confusion.
Trees don't respawn, it doesn't matter if you fully chop them down or leave the stumps, this is well over 48 hours (on a sever) and nothing has respawned or regrown.

Thats how i found a teleport bug in Windrose. I got behind tortugas barrier.
I was jumping around my base out of boredom, trying to land on the palm tree. When I finally managed it, I was teleported to Tortuga. I swam to the beach and ended up behind the city, on the side where I shouldn't have been. I've placed a bell here now, so I can come back whenever I want. It only works with the tree; I've tried several, but without success.

Tip: This is the distance of which you can access your ship inventory
Just now realized that you can see your ship inventory from your menu and tested the range of which i can throw items into it since im tired of constantly teleporting around, this means that instead of summoning the ship and swimming out to put things into it, as long as you are near a beach you can quickly manage the inventory.

A few tips to make the game easier beside adjusting the sliders:
I've been playing for quite a few hours and noticed some things that weren't immediately obvious but might be helpful to some:
You can move your character between worlds freely, your ship and current inventory go with you. You can use this to "New Game +" if you want (quests are character-bound), or on the reverse, quickly progress a new character by setting up a cache full of gear for them.
Resource respawns appear to be on some kind of global timer not bound to in-game time, therefore you can hop between worlds to farm resources and by the time you're done on one, the other will have refreshed. It's a little cheesy but you're still having to spend time gathering and refining the resources, so I don't really consider it "cheating".
I can't understate how important upgrading your armor is. You're still pretty fragile compared to most enemies in the game but it does make a huge difference. There are also set bonuses that give you a huge bonus to HP and/or defense.
While you may drop certain harvestable items on death, your ship doesn't even if it gets sunk and you can retrieve them when you repair the ship, so store your items based on this when your inventories are getting full.
You can use heavy attacks on resource nodes with axes/pickaxes, letting you mine them a little faster and sometimes hit multiple nodes with one swing.
Later on in the game, you'll find guns that can hold multiple shots before reloading, so investing in gun skills can be decent later on.
This is also a much cheesier trick that's basically cheating, but here it is anyway: If you or your ship are about to die, log out and hop to another world where you aren't in danger and you can heal/repair then jump back to the other world and return to the fight.
EDIT: I don't know how I forgot to mention this one, but you can still build in combat on land. You can cheese the ever loving hell out of this and basically Fortnite your way through a ton of fights.

Base build WIP
Wanted to share some pictures of the base I’m working on. It’s basically just a shell but I’ll post pictures of the finished build too. it’ll probably be awhile though, I still need to unlock the rest of the clay roof tiles. The build system in this game is awesome!

Unable to host game today
This morning logged into my hosted server for 5 mins, got booted and now i'm unable to host the game again. I hit confirm on the server and it goes to loading screen, then simply returns me to main menu. Anyone else got the issue / or a fix?
Edit (11.41am GMT): patch notes came before the actual update - the update available now on steam. Server list wasn't updating but is now working so everyone should be able to connect again. Working now for me

Ships need to count as respawn points in death on a drowning death
Noticed tonight that when I died in a boarding conflict, I respawned back on an island elsewhere, had to travel back twice to just finish off a ship captain.
Instead I would suggest making us respawn on our own ship, and just go back to boarding, or have the entire action and battle finished.
