How To Enable Loot Respawn on Your Project Zomboid Server

Important!

Containers must have been looted at least once for the game to regenerate loot in them.

Loot will be generated in a quantity <equal to or less> than the limit set in the ‘MaxItemsForLootRespawn’ option. Please note that the limit applies to the number of items (and not by type of object). For example, if the maximum limit is 5 items and the container has inside it:

– (5) nails
– (3) nails and (2) pencils
– (2) cans, (2) hammers, and (1) knife

Then the game will be able to regenerate more loot inside it.

Loot does not regenerate in containers that have been built or moved by the player.

5. Locate the ‘LootRespawn’ Section

You can find the LootRespawn section starting from line 290 within the file.

(1) Set the Respawn Prevention Hours to 0: It is recommended to set this option to 0 to avoid inconsistencies when loot respawns across the entire map.

(2) Enter the Hours in Which Loot Respawn Will Occur: The hours are represented in-game.

(3) Set the Maximum Number of Items That Can Respawn per Container.

(4) Disable the ‘ConstructionPreventsLootRespawn’ Option: It is recommended to disable this option, otherwise, any physical change that occurs inside a building/structure will prevent loot from respawning in it.

Then, save the changes:
