Loot respawn mechanics
I know this has been asked to death already, but I still have trouble to understand it.

I know it's based in chunks and distance from containers... but are the hours needed for loot respawn in-game hours or IRL hours? And more importantly, how much time is needed for loot respawn in Apocalypse mode?

I don't think there is any loot respawn for the apcalypse mode (actually I'm not even sure there is loot respawn for any default game mode), you can check this by creating a sandbox world and selecting the "Apocalypse" preset, and check its specificities.

Should not be. Actually what can get quite confusing is to remember which houses you have looted or not looted yet.:)
//Today i wasted half a day on checking the trailers i already looted. gets confusing when you start in the same neighbourhood in the last 3 games!//

Checked. In apocalypse no loot respawn.

Yeah haha, that's why (though I set loot respawn off) I begin to put a cross on every house I looted on the map, once I find one of the city I'm in (mainly playing in Muldraugh though, I know the map pretty well now :steamhappy:)

Yeah my so far most successful guy also lives in Muldraugh. Well for now in one of the logging camp warehouses. But i want to move over to the Bank. Live on the second level and make a pass to the gas station and the hotel. But first i need to improve my carpentry to like level 8 or 9:) good thing there are many crates that one can dismantle. (20 or 30 crafting xp per box depending on level:P)

Well using a map on apocalypse to cross out stuff seems a bit risky:) I place stuff outside of the house usually. Or place within something that can hold massive amounts of water. And fill it up.
