How to get more rocks?

[emiliaferrari]

So I’ve been playing New Horizons for like, five days now (I’m a newbie lol, still getting used to it not being new leaf) and on the first day I didn’t realize eating the fruit would make me destroy rocks. Pretty stupid from my part now that I know it.
However, I only broke two rocks and they haven’t grown back? I read they are supposed to after one day (like, one rock grows back every day) but this isn’t the case for me. I have had four rocks every day (except the first) for now and I’m getting scared because I really need more iron nuggets and clay and there’s not another way for me to get them that isn’t using NMTs and hitting mystery island rocks. Did anyone else have this happen to them? Do rocks take more than one day to grow? Do they start growing back after upgrading the resident services building? Many questions, I know but pls help, I’m getting sad cause I need materials hjsjsjjdsj.

Just in case anyone asks, yes, I have checked every little corner and place in my island looking and I haven’t found them.

that’s weird, from my experience they grow back one at a time every day. hope you get your rocks back

Just to weigh in as well, my rocks have spawned back one at a time after I have destroyed them. I don't recall them taking more than a day to spawn back though, so it's strange that your rocks are behaving that way. Perhaps if you wait longer they may eventually appear again?

Thanks for letting me know about your experience! I sure hope they grow back ;(

Maybe at the beginning of the game they don’t grow back instantly and you need to get to a certain point before they grow back each day. I hope waiting helps, thank you for responding!
