Loot Respawn near base

[Sangra69]

How far does the sleeping bag prevent loot from respawning nearby? I have a base near a shamway food store and afraid it ain't respawning supplies. I thought it was 15 blocks, but did they increase it?

The sleeping bag still creates a circle with a radius of 15 blocks around it that prevents spawning. However,t hat is not the only thing that will prevent respawning either. Being too close to the loot container (getting within 15 blocks) also resets the respawn timer back to the original full amount.

It's why you should do your best to always stay as far as possible away from the more important POIs if you possibly can to let them have a full respawn.

So if ur too early while checking if the loot has respawned u reset the clock completely?
Never expected that... I just check day 7, 8 or 9 when loot respawn is at 7 days. Sometimes I did wonder why stuff never seem to respawn or just thought someone else looted it before me.

About the sleeping bag. I assume that's only the case in ur LAST PLACED sleeping bag?

What about the landclaim block. Does that affect the loot respawn?

Then it makes me want to place my sleeping bag in another building far away from my base.

As of alpha 13.5 or 13.6, someone did testing that confirmed that the lot respawn timers reset completely when they returned tot he container. Testing on a 3 day respawn, the POI was looted on day 1, he returned on day 4 an hour or two early and no respawn and it did not respawn again until day 8 (3 days + 1 extra guarantee day). It might work slightly differently on multiplayer servers as I've seen somewhat different behavior before but more testing is needed.

As for the sleeping bag, yes only your active/last placed sleeping bag counts as the spawn protection. For land claim blocks, unless modified, they do not provide nay spawn protection and are only useful against players. They are useless against zombies.
