Do hermit crabs in Far Harbor respawn?

[aro230]

I've been waiting to find out for so long and now that I waited for an entire month of in-game time, I was unable to get one particular hermit crab to respawn (the one at Eden Meadows Cinemas). I've heard they may take an unusually long time to appear again, but I can't seem to figure it out. Has anyone out there ever checked that? Is there at least a mod that makes them respawn? They're literally the coolest enemy introduced in FH to me and it'd be a shame if Bethesda screwed this up so badly

The one opposite echo lake lumber has respawned more often than not in my games.

Really? Do you remember how much time did that take?

Also, can't believe I didn't notice it on the wiki page, but they respawn every time the Deadliest Catch radiant quest is acquired on the Island. So that's at least a reliable way to see them again

The one by the Orphanage has respawned for me a few times.

They don't give any xp when killed

This. I came to say I've seen that one respawn.

I have a mod that introduces them to the Commonwealth. The trouble is it also spawns just the *van* so I have no idea if what I'm looking at is going to try and murder me or not.

Thanks a lot everyone. Glad to know they respawn for most of you, so they should for me as well

Which is strange, because the Wiki article says that they don't respawn, specifically mentioning that this makes their meat a finite resource.
The only exception being that one random radiant quest.

Well, at least there's one guaranteed way to bring them back. Dunno if there are mods that fix their respawn, besides what you've sent me

I wonder if they respawn because of the Unoffical Fallout 4 Patch?

Nope.
This "bug" has been tracked, but it was closed, as it appears to be intentional.

They did however fix the missing hermit crab hatchling meat.
