Whats happening with loot spawns?

[Vagabob 0]

People have told me that loot doesn't spawn at all now - only upon server reset.  Is this true?  If so, is this just a temporary measure until more updates are made to the game?

 

Judging by the lack of zeds i'm guessing the current game mechanic is somewhat deactivated.

 

Right now just feels like a massive cross country simulator with nothing but beanies and motorcycle helmets lying around.

 

Apologies if this is covered somehow - didn't see any stickies / no useful search hits.

Respawning Zombies & Loot

 

Target Delivery: Early 2014

 

Currently to have the server check if something needs respawning can cause an issue with performance. We did not want to go with a "scripted" solution for respawning, and it is expensive on server performance. Player spawning on the coast is conducted by the engine, and we are going to employ a similar process for managing zombie and loot spawn (possibly parallelized). This is a high priority task and zombie respawn at least is very close to being implemented.

I hope with the "175k copies" they sold in a day a server isn't too expensive...
