Items respawn?
I started this game in this week, i read on internet that the loot from the baggages respawn when you reload one of your savegames, but this not happen in my match, it's a normal thing? There was an update? cause of connection issues i'm playing offline.

Another question, enemies in the caves respawn anytime you get in?

Thank you

Hey mate. Yeah, loot items respawn (Should, anyway, does for me) when you enter your game from a previous save. Enemies spawning inside caves once you've cleared them out, not sure, maybe the Cannibles do, but the Mutants (Armsy, Virginia, Cowman + Babies) I don't think so.

Being an alpha game means some things change over time and guides once accurate are no longer that.

Baggage these days re-spawns in certain cases, like around the airplane or in caves. Anywhere else once opened they (should) remain that way. Which, I feel, gives a bit more realistic feel to the game.
Besides that you really don't need their contents once you played a bit as all of it can be found all around the island, booze at beaches, in caves, cloth on racks near camps and in caves, batteries also in caves in re-spawning luggage etc. Ps: candy bars are bad for you, as you will gain weight like a madman. :P

A recent update made it so that once you killed a mutant or cannibal in a cave, they won't re-spawn after you saved your game, sadly may I add.

Welcome btw and hf!

I seem to be running low on cloth myself so I went out looking for suitcases, all of them are still open so this only leaves the occasional new effigy in villages to take cloth from :(
Is there anywhere that shows what items will respawn and which won't?

As a previous poster said the only suitcases that will respawn are the ones in caves, villages, and near the plane. Anything else, once opened remains that way. Personally, once I found this out, I made a little cabin near my plane crash site and looted, saved, logged, reloaded-repeat. Until I found out cloth respawns at villages without a logout.

'Kind of' a mini spoiler, but most people know this location:
I don't like to look things up, I feel it takes the fun out of the game. The village above the cave you get drug to on your first "death" has a ton of cloth around the perimeter of it. There is also a ton of booze, some meds(but with all the med mixes you can make with plants, I rarely use the meds), and about 5? suitcases that respawn down there (in the cave), with no enemies-exit and reenter the cave to respawn.

If you go deeper past where you find the compass and map you will run into a few mutants. I go down there occasionally just to loot, then hit all the cloth and suitcases (they respawn) in the village. If you spend too much time there the villagers will come. At that point you have two options, run or fight. If I choose to fight I usually go inside one of the huts that way my back is protected and take them on. Whenever I encounter more than one mutant I always upgrade my weapon with booze, it burns MUCH longer that way.

for me the only baggage that respawn are the ones at the plane crash site where you spawn. also all cave items respawn just by leaving and re-entering

The baggage always respawns in and around the villages for me, without a log out. I just randomly stop by when out and it is respawned. I think it is like the caves where if you "leave" it resets.

Thanks I'll give that a go later! Does anyone know how long it takes for plants to respawn? (Blueberry bushes, mari gold etc ?)
