# Configuring Loot Respawn Settings in Abiotic Factor

Learn how to enable and configure loot respawning so resources replenish over time on your server.

**Allow resources and items to reappear over time by enabling loot respawns on your Abiotic Factor server.**

By default, **Abiotic Factor** does not respawn loot once it has been collected. Enabling loot respawns ensures that items periodically reappear throughout the facility, keeping resources available for players on long-term or community servers.

This feature is ideal for maintaining balance and preventing resource shortages in extended survival sessions.
