Yeah it took me until fall to figure out, but trust me you need all the wood and the day regrowth makes sense. You can even chop down trees that will bear seasonal fruit not on your farm and it shouldn't mess up when they regrow fruit
I guess in game it's magic? (Or also very kind devs)

Oh gosh I love fields of mistria!! I hope you're having a blast!!
You don't have to fill up your watering can! (Yet, this will kill me when they patch it)
Also trees outside your farm respawn daily so don't worry about gathering wood. Also you can keep playing after a year so don't feel pressured

It's not fair that I have to pick just one ;+; I was literally just talking about this at work today, there are so many to pick from.
I am a fan of Archaeopteryx or Microraptors though

They probably know ur upset and are trying to distract you with food.
But I hope you can grab one and pet them to help you get through the panic attacks, those are rough and I'm sorry you're going through it 😔
