Resources not respawning before Warrick is defeated

First I thought this was intended… but only chests respawned during my gaming sessions as long as Warrick was not defeated in the starting areas (Shallows, Mariner’s Keep, Orban Glades) - trees, herbs, burried ressources and mineable ressources did NOT respawn!

This almost ruined the game for me because it resulted in a very frustrating game loop. Each attempt to fight Warrick needed me to have enough food… but I was NOT able to cock food, because the ingredients did not respawn. All I could do was to check all the chests, sell the stuff and buy enough food for the next Warrick attempt… which took quite some time and became very boring after a handfull of runs.

Resources not respawning

Only after getting to Sacrament I realized, that ALL resources suddenly WERE respawning correctly. So I belive this to be a bug.
