Quick, hopefully, question about Zs PoIs respawn.

If one can choose loot no respawn, why is that not available for Zs in PoIs? Why the 30 day clock?

I use "the mod" but what is the reasoning behind not being tied past the 30 days?
 
Obviously I'm not a dev, but I wonder if there would be a conflict with zombies respawning when a POI is reset by a quest if there was such a setting and it was set to no respawn. Likely not, but just a thought. Seems like they could separate those 2 events.
 
Is it 30 days now? It used to be 7 days they would respawn if loot respawn was off. I mod the choices and add 300 day loot respawn. Long enough for any game I play now. That worked in the past to prevent POI respawns, I should probably check that again.
 
Ok, just ran a test with 150 day loot respawn. Zombies didn't respawn until after 150 days had passed, so looks like it still works to do this.

The relevant part of my mod, windows.xml in ...\Config\XUi_Menu

Code: 
    <set xpath="/windows/window[@name='newContinueGame']/rect[@name='rightPanel']/rect[@name='tabs']/rect[@name='tabsContents']/rect[@tab_key='xuiGameSettingsAdvanced']/grid/gameoption[@name='LootRespawnDays']/@values">-1, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 150, 300</set>
 
So this is no longer needed? Only your xml?

Has this ever happened to you?

Never again! Say NO to sleepers respawning after you've fully cleared a building. Feel like you're making a difference in the world, slowly clearing out the infection one building at a time. How do those things totally fill up buildings so fast anyway? Do zombies hunger for shelter as much as they do for fresh meat?! With this mod, you can carefully clear out entire towns over time and claim land in the name of Cleartopia!

How much would you pay for a mod like this?
Well, the good news is...

If you wanted loot to respawn for some reason then that mod would be the way to go. I also seem to recall some comments in that thread, or maybe the previous version, that made the mod the preferable way to go for some situations that I don't recall. But I've been using variations of the above since A20 and it's worked for me.

I don't think it is 30 days. I was playing last night and I had previously cleared one of the cemetery POIs and used that as my horde base. 7 days later (day 12/13?) I returned to find that zombies had respawned. I have loot respawn turned off. I would normally place a land claim at the POI where my horde base is to prevent such a thing, but I hadn't yet. (Sadly I died later so now it doesn't matter)
 
How does loot respawn work? I think the standard setting is 7 days on my ps5 but I'm almost certain mailboxes haven't respawned when I ride past them in over 7 days.
 
If you go within...I think it's 15 blocks of an inventory, it resets the respawn timer (unless it has something in it.) Blocks like mailboxes that change their appearance when looted never respawn loot.
 
Could this affect the sleepers?

I've only had that happen once, it was in 2.1, when I cleared the hospital in segments. I don't remember if I had chunk reset
to long or disabled at the time. But my problem may have also been that leaving the poi unfinished, it may have shared the
sleeper volume pool. But since then no sleeper respawns so far.
