I was wondering, since the game is heavily centered around gathering and spending resources, for building, repairing your stuff, probably rebuilding or repairing structures after an attack on one of your settlements (can't wait to see one happen), what happens when you've cleared everything out? Maybe not everything, but would I go into some Mega Mart because I *may* have missed a couple of plungers? Do containers respawn loot after some time? Are there special dynamic scavenging missions?

(and for those willing to go all "loot respawn is not realistic" and blah-blah, there shouldn't be *anything* left when I come out of V111 after 200 years of looting by countless others )

Given that there is "Radiant Quests" all over the damn place I suspect there is a lot of re-spawning going on.

I just noticed on my map that certain locations that were marked cleared have lost that tag and respawned no idea whats the exact respawn timer though.

I have roughly 30 hours played and have yet to see one of my setelments get attacked

I had 1 attack so far but i guess it rly depens on setelment defeces as well, if they have good defence rating that attacks will be rare.

Also an update on my previus post about respawning locations, i went and recleared one of the previusly cleared locations that lost the cleared tag, enemies and loot were respawned(non fixed loot only ofcourse) but i still dont know whats the exact respawn timer the location recived cleared tag again after i was done.
