FAQ

Questions the store page skips

Short answers, and an honest blank when the posts never decided.

NPCs can show on the PDA because companions and camp residents are tracked there. The September 2026 camp post added a doctor and a Wait Here order. Seeing a marker is not the same thing as that person stealing your crates. Whether NPCs loot your storage is not stated in the announcements I read, so I am not going to invent a yes or a no.

Loot respawn is the same kind of gap. No 1.0 post says containers refill, and no post says they never do. The cell stays empty. Health loss has more to stand on: hunger, thirst, temperature, radiation and infection are all systems the store description and the Far Island posts mention. A single health drop can be any of those. The beginner page lists the early checks.

Time of day is on the PDA and the HUD. Crows are edible in the 2023 Fandom page and cannot be butchered there. That is one old source. Selling goods is tied to camp traders in the Chinese and Spanish questions people ask; the public pages name camps, not a universal price list.

Questions

Why can I see NPCs on my PDA?

Companions and camp residents are tracked on the PDA. A marker is not proof they can loot your base.

Does loot respawn?

Not published. I am not filling that in from guesswork.

Why am I losing health?

Hunger, thirst, cold, radiation or infection are the documented drains. The page does not rank them.
