Is every item supposed to respawn when you load the game?

[FlyinJ]

When you restart the game and load a save game, every box and item location is respawned. Is this supposed to happen? I'm basically full on all crafting components and medicine because every box by the helicopter refilled after loading a few saves

[BimboGooch]

Prolly not, I just dont grab the landing stuff.
All items you placed on the ground go bye bye too.
Its annoying cuz well if it crashes you lose EVERY one of your logs you gathered. Idk how this stuff got into here cuz they 100% knew this happened. And theres a bug that makes this worse. if you open your inventory near a stomp or something that would block you from opening and placing it on the ground, it bugs out and you freeze and you have to exit to the lobby... So you lose EVERYTHING on the ground. So if you build, only take down a couple of logs, or make sure you use everything.

The Forest does this, but if you want a challenging experience you shouldn't abuse it

It is intended, yes.

[Slippshot]

Yes all items Respawn, even weapons like the 9mm, and the shotgun.

How can something so dumb be intended?
lmao.

I have FULL ammunition for all the guns thanks to this "intended" bug.
It makes the survival aspect non existent.

Dont tell me what to do or what to say. I dont get why you would tell me to chill. Go somewhere else if you dont like what i have to say.

I prefer having to actually plan stuff and discus how to survive with my friends.
I dont like ubisoft smoothbrain style gameplay where predict the game and grind it out... Not fun.

Nobody is forcing you to loot.

If you want an honest answer that makes sense, it is because people will play this game as a sandbox for hours and hours. Most of the stuff you loot on the surface isn't obtainable without looting and would eventually deplete (fairly fast too). You can't craft these items, so eventually without a was to respawn them in, you'd soft-lock yourself out of the game. Obviously there are ways to respawn items back into the game that is less abusive, like every X in game days or something more natural (random events), but I think that is the cheap and easy route the devs took.

If it doesn't respawn, then how can you survive in this game ? The enemies respawn continuously everyday in greater numbers. What would do when the molotovs and guns run out? lol fight with arrows. Sons has more enemies and they are tougher so we need more firepower

[Andy Mil]

U do urself so u intend to abuse it

The point of a survival game is to min/max. There is no point in playing if im not looting/building/killing canibals.
What else would i be doing?

Just fix the bug so i have to actually explore to get resources.

this is not a bug lol if u dont understand why its like this you clearly have no clue about survival games most games have some sort of refresh or respawn for items.

SleddingHedgehogs already told you why its is hte way it is.

dont expect this to change ever in this game its how its designed lol

[FlashXAron ☕ (Alex)]

The difference between worse sandbox survival and good ones are, THAT AT LEAST you have dozens of options , when you start the game to adjust the game, how it should construct the gameworld ...
best example is Project Zomboid, it has hundred of settings you could even change in ongoing games . that is how it has to be done, not how lazy it has been done in this game !
So at the moment it is a stupid shooter with save load abuse and hasn't understood, what a SURVIVAL open world sandbox should offer ! Else sell it as a shooter, but even at that category it makes no sense !
So we will see if they will learn in the early access time , which settings are needed !

Why did you save/load/save/load lol. Just play the game continuously for 2 hours or so and travel around the map fighting, exploring and eventually you will run out of anything. Then tomorrow a new playthrough with new items but same save. I did not even realize stuff respawn above world (only in caves) in this game until I reloaded For Kevin experimentation.
