I am busy with an open source survival game and would love to have my resources regenerate overtime.

I myself have no clue how to do such a thing and thought the best place to get help is here.

I have found 2 scripts that might could help me.

Script 1 found at: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/recipes/Regenerate-Models-

    local model, button, enabled = Workspace.Model, Workspace.Button, true
    local clone = model:Clone()
     
    button.Touched:connect(function(hit)
    	if game.Players:FindFirstChild(hit.Parent.Name) and enabled then
    		enabled = false
    		model:Destroy()
    		wait(5)
    		local lclone = clone:Clone()
    		lclone.Parent = Workspace
    		model = lclone
    		enabled = true
    	end
    end)

Script 2 found at: https://www.roblox.com/games/429735644/DUSK-UNCOPYLOCKED

objects_to_regen = {
	--Name, regen time, model(false) Part(true)
	{'Rock', {120,240}, true},
	{'Large Rock', {360,600}, true},
	{'Stone', {180,300}, true},
	{'Wheat', {120,240}, true},
	{'Kelp', {120,240}, true},
	{'Pond Water', {240,320}, true},
	{'Corn', {240,360}, true},
	{'Mushroom', {80,160}, true},
	{'Onion', {240,360}, true},
	{'Pumpkin', {300,420}, true},
	{'Rice', {80,140}, true},
	-- models
	{'Berry Bush', {180,240}, false},
	{'Tree', {180, 300}, false},
	{'Large Tree', {360,600}, false},
	{'Fancy Tree', {240,360}, false},
	{'Bush', {120,240}, false},
	{'Coal Rock', {180, 300}, false},
	{'Copper Rock', {240,360}, false},
	{'Iron Rock', {440,600}, false},
	{'Adurite Rock', {900,1300}, false},
	{'Magnatite Rock', {3600,6000}, false},
}

function check(input)
	for i,v in pairs(objects_to_regen) do
		if v[1] == input then
			return {true, v[2], v[3]}
		end
	end
	return {false, nil, nil}
end

function part(object, wt)
	local new = object:Clone()
	object.AncestryChanged:connect(function()
		--print(object.Name, ' was removed, regen.')
		wait(math.random(wt[1], wt[2]))
		new.Parent = workspace
		if new.Name == "Water" then
			local val = Instance.new("IntValue",new)
			val.Value = 400
			val.Name = "Amount"
		end
		part(new, wt)
	end)
end

function model(object, wt)
	local new = object:Clone()
	object.ChildRemoved:connect(function()
		if object:FindFirstChild'DB' then return end
		Instance.new('ObjectValue', object).Name = 'DB'
		--print('An object from ',object.Name, ' was removed, regen.')
		wait(math.random(wt[1], wt[2]))
		object:Destroy()
		new.Parent = workspace
		new:MakeJoints()
		if new.Name == "Bush" then
			local weld = Instance.new("ManualWeld")
			weld.Part0 = new:WaitForChild("Leaves")
			weld.Part1 = new:WaitForChild("Wood")
			weld.C0 = new:WaitForChild("Leaves").CFrame:inverse() * new:WaitForChild("Wood").CFrame	
			weld.Parent = new:WaitForChild("Leaves")
		end
		if new.Name == "Tree" then
			for i,v in pairs(new:GetChildren()) do
				if v.Name == "Orangeberry" then
			local weld = Instance.new("ManualWeld")
			weld.Part0 = v
			weld.Part1 = new:WaitForChild("Leaves")
			weld.C0 = v.CFrame:inverse() * new:WaitForChild("Leaves").CFrame	
			weld.Parent = v
				end
			end
		end
		model(new, wt)
	end)
end

for i,v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
	local test = check(v.Name) 
	if test[1] then
		if test[3] then
			part(v, test[2])
		else
			model(v, test[2])
		end
	end
end

The most important thing here is that resources such as berries, iron ores, trees, sand, rocks and other resource types in the future can regenerated and gathered by new or existing players.

Already thanks for the help.
