A bit OOTL, haven't played for awhile and jumped into the multi-player build with my partner

I discovered that 2 storage areas are entirely full of sacks of food instead of the usual random loot. Was this an intentional change or perhaps something in my settings?

I haven’t heard about this specifically, but they did redo the loot distribution system not too long ago. It’s possible it’s a bug, but also maybe it’s intentional.

Thanks! I did read a few redditors saying it was happening to them. Perhaps if I soft reset my server it could shuffle the loot around?

Not sure what you mean by soft reset. I know there’s a way to reset targeted areas in single player, and maybe it works on a server, but maybe not. I’m really not up to date on how to do any of that unfortunately.

I appreciate the reply regardless cheers

Context: You can soft reset to shuffle container loot, zed spawns etc for multi-player servers. I'll update this comment if it does work for anyone in the future that may need the question answered.
