Rotten Landfill keeps re-poping loot in Survival Difficulty

[Carrot Officer]

I pass by the rotten landfill pretty often when traveling from Starlight Drive In and my eastern settlements, so its easy for me to just poke my head in and see if the steamer trunk re-poped loot, but the mole rats have never respawned just the loot. It was my understanding that survival mode made enemies AND loot take forever to respawn so I figured its a bug. Is anyone else getting this?

Aliens. It's obviously the aliens. They are messing up our lives with their damn convenient loot!

re-poping?

the last time we re-poped was when the German guy Retired and the Spanish guy took over.

Don't forget, spawn rates for loot and mobs are on a different timer. Every time you walk by the landfill you are resetting the "mob timer" but the "loot timer" doesn't (as far as I understood). Also, the loot timer seems to play off your LUCK skill. I've been slowly increasing my LUCK skill and it seems I've been lucky enough to spawn loot more frequently now than before (my luck is 6 now).

Check the PipBoy for the [CLEARED] symbol. If the landfill shows that then the mobs won't spawn (as I've understood so far).

So as long as a location has a [CLEARED] notation under it, there's no chance for there to be new eneimies? But there can be new loot? Idk seems kinda silly, they should be on the same timer.

The Landfill is an exterior location and may be governed differently than an interior location, which resets both the loot and mobs at the same time. I believe containers can further be set to follow a different schedule by themselves.

Another fast loot location is the entrance to the Mole rat cave at Red Rocket ... The glowing fungus seems to respawn at a longer rate than the pile of tools and junk at the same spot, sometimes they respawn at the same time ... :/

Wicked Shipping/Hunting cabin resets about the moment I leave the cell, the same with Bedford Station.

:D Fun English general spelling/pronunciaton rule that people tend to forget.

A vowel followed by one consonant and and another vowel will be long. A vowel followed by TWO consonants and a vowel will be short.

ie, Popping as opposed to "poping". :) Thus the source of amusement.

I am sorry but you are WAY to smart for the steam forums, you will have to leave before you catch the "stupidity" disease.

I have a feeling enemies never respawn, it has been ages. I cleared Arcjet at level 4, and Olivia just before that, and now I am level 35 and the enemies have not respawned. I get radiant quests from BOS/MM and they will auto complete because I have cleared the locations early on.

I cleared Breakhart Banks of the super mutants. Then an assaultron appeared. I killed it but there was also a Col. Gutsy. I ran to the settlement just down the road, turned around when my health was back up. The loot had already respawned in the chests and ammo cases, even the Nuka Quantum.

Aww....I made a spelling error on the internet, my life is over!

Yeah I've been getting the feeling that is how survival works right now, hope they patch it so the respawn timers are more evenly matched with one another.
