Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria is a survival exploration game set in the troublesome and legendary labyrinth of Moria. It’s a mining town, so resources are abundant.
But are all of these resources renewable? Can you perminately run out of a resource?
Are resources renewable in Return to Moria?
As you go around collecting items like Hero’s Tokens and mine through veins of Iron Ore in Return to Moria, you may be wondering about the renewable status of these materials. Most of the things you need you’ll find throughout Moria, it’s just a case of looking for them. But what if you start to run out?
The answer may surprise you.
Ore veins and trees do not seem to grow back or respawn. So as you cut down trees and empty those stone and granite deposits, know that you won’t be harvesting that resource there again.
However, throughout the many mines of Moria, you’ll find big chunks of stone – about half your size. These will contain stone and a little ore of one metal. These chunks do actually respawn at random, so even if you’ve stripped Moria clean of all stone and ore, those chunks will keep spawning. So ore is renewable, but wood is not.
All other gatherable resources are either drops from enemies or grow in patches of soil, all of which you can grind for again and again, so no worries there.
Fret not, however, as although this is technically, true, you will never run out of resources in Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria.

How to get unlimited items in Return to Moria
Like Terraria, in Return to Moria you get to create numerous characters and numerous worlds, and you can play as any Dwarf in any world that you’ve created. Your Dwarf will bring with them what they have equipped and in their inventory. This means that if one world is seemingly lacking resources, you can throw your dwarf into an excursion of another Moria to plunder its riches.
So, technically, you will never actually run out of resources in Return to Moria, as you can keep leaching off of other worlds you create. It may actually be smart to have a couple of worlds, one to be your “main” world that you’ll put effort into, and another to serve as your resource mine, to extrapolate all you can and bleed dry.
I hope this has been of some use to you, fellow Dwarf.
