Loot in crates no longer respawning

We've been playing multiplayer on pre-release on normal mode for a while. For the past 90 days the loot in the crates have always reset after re-opening the game. It seems after the full release came out loot crates no longer respawn, same with vehicles. Though the loot on the ground respawns. It's been a good 15-20 in game days and multiple relogs and still nothing. Anyone else experience this or know how to fix it?

You need to make a new save or use the SotfEdit program

What do I need to do within the sotfEdit program?

As far as I can tell, this has been removed from the game! The boxes can only be opened once and then they remain empty! But there are plenty of other ways to get loot (including ammunition). Just explore the islands and the new caves 😉

Wrong, it's still in the game, you just have to enable it with sotfEdit or make a new custom world and turn it on

Then my game is faulty, I have created a custom game, but the boxes or contents are not working. And I read somewhere in the Steam Community Forum that the loot is no longer relevant.

You need to also turn it on when creating you game, it's off by default

So on normal mode, loot respawning is off by default? I thought that was intended only for hard mode? I don't want to change it if it's intended to be off now

It's off by deafult on every single mode now

Can I still use sotfedit if its a game I’ve already started?

Yes, that's the entire point of the program

Ohh gotcha! Do you know of any tutorials out there that show how to use it?

It's extremely easy, you won't need it

Anything else I should know about continuing in my pre-release save?

Did you not read the pop up you got when you loaded up the save?

I did, although they didn't mention the loot crate change so I was wondering if there's anything else
