Replanting saplings and grass is definitely worth the time. Any resource that you can bring to you and farm instead of having to go out and gather will save time and inconvenience later. Especially in the winter when grass and twigs regrow painfully slowly it makes no sense to make special trips into the wilderness to gather more resources when you run out. If you are going to be trying to survive purely on rabbits like this guide suggests, you are going to be needing a lot of traps, which means a lot of grass and twigs.

Personally, I start out using this strategy but once I get a large enough pig farm going I switch over primarily to slaughtering pigs for food. My pig farm helps me kill my spider farm, I use the monster meat from the spiders to make pigs into werepigs, and combine a pig meat, a monster meat, and 2 honey into honey ham, much more efficient than kabobs in my opinion.

That along with dragonfruit and vegatables from my farms combined into dragonpie is all the food i need.
