Timing of respawns.

[sigmapsidelta]

I have had respawns, usually of bits and pieces from vending machines and such, over very short periods - less than a game day in some cases. But one respawn I have been looking for for several game months now is the 'Cranberry Island Supply Shed'. Is there a set waiting period before the contents respawn for that one?

There have been several power armor respawns, in various places, between when I first went to Cranberry Island and now. But that place stubbornly refuses to comply. Does it actually respawn, or is that a Fallout 4 myth? Or is there something I need to be carrying when I visit for it to respawn, like the series of notes and map that lead you there in the first place?

Cranberry Island Supply Shed never respawns the objects placed there are not respawnable.
So no more free crafting materials once you unlocked it :P

It's a one time reward only.

In general there are standard respawn rates for cleared vs uncleared locations, set by the game difficulty (Survival vs not). Then there are some basically bugged locations or containers that respawn very frequently (the steamer trunk by the Concord water tower, for example), and some things that don't respawn at all, usually on purpose / "by design". Alas you're in that category.

Thank you for the replies. I shall henceforth take claims in YouTube videos with a well deserved pinch of salt, and not a large one either.
