Hmm. I noticed quite a ways into my game (I'm lvl 20 now ish, but this has persisted for some time) that none of my merchants seem to be restocking. Which is really annoying, because I'm in hardcoe mode on Hard and I'm running out of places to buy food and water from... and I've been trying to track down a sniper rifle silencer (since I found one on my first playthrough) for a while now with no success.

Anyone got any solutions? Is there a console command to force stores to restock? Anything like that?

I've found on my non-hardcoe game that merchants only seemed to restock after a certain period of resting/waiting, not game time from exploring or fast travel. They'd also sometimes randomly restock after a load.

I turned off hardcoe and tested this, and it looks like you're right. This... is kind of a problem, because my character is hungry! =D I guess I should stop passing time by travelling and actually put in some time in the sack. I cannot afford the negative effects to health of just sitting in front of a store, hitting T and resting 3-4 days all the time! I was under the impression that travel time and rest time would be the same thing... apparently not!
