Re- Using the same "Loot Pile"

[Tavidian 0]

Here is the situation.

I got my first rifle, Lee and had pretty good gear. So I got a little cocky and started being less cautious. Some Zombies hurt me pretty bad but luckily I was by a Grocery store. So I went in and ate can after can of food. Then I went to a Apartment building about 50 meters away and logged off.

I continued to go through this same routine for two days, eating food, then "sleeping" in the Apartment building.

Actually, it was a lot of fun. If you are telling a zombie survival story, this action would make a lot of sense. Stay at "base" until you get your strength back. So while it was repetitive, it was also good role playing.

Problem is, I went to the Grocery Store today and NO LOOT. Did I over use it? Is that Grocery store "Dried up" to me now for good?

No, someone probably recently looted it, also, if there are lots of piles of tin cans, take the cans/ bottles and throw them this will free up that loot spot.

When you spawn in somewhere, everything around you despawns (so you dont spawn in on a horde of zombies, ideally). Run around away from the supermarket for 5-10 min then come back. Give it time to load.
