I move around a lot some things spawn in a day or 2, I think if you leave the area/cell they respawn faster

literally atleast 12 hrs of real ingame time later the yaks respawned. Are you sure the game is not broken and you intended for them to simply NEVER respawn?

I've killed 6 (2 sets of 3) within I'd say 300 yards of one another. After the second set, I turned around to head back to base in the BF and 3 more had spawned where the original 3 had been.

I've had days go by without seeing some too. It's really just luck of the draw I wanna say. Like getting a decent seed with plentiful crypts.

6 days ? Lol nope u just are unlucky

They spawn in a spawn spot of 64mx64m ( like any biome mob ) and if u kill these loxes takes 1000s ( 1/2 game day ) to respawn but have a 5% to spawn when u re-enter in that spot

Find a different area. I have portals to about 4 different plains areas and there's always lox's there.

it literally took a full day of 6 ingame hours for anything to respawn. So clearing it of enemies is no big feat if you were implying that i waited for the currently spawned enemies to move away, no i killed everything the moment it spawned.

Couple of things to remember. They won't spawn line of sight or around benches, and also if they spawn mosquitoes it can be really hard to find them.

I've had stuff spawn, killed it up on a hill, grabbed its drops and just as I crested over the hill I heard the lox behind me. I must have just been the right distance away and lost line of sight and they just spawned in.

Maybe you got unlucky and a mosquito or goblin is spawned under/inside a rock or something?

Clear out a fuling village and lox move in

Lox? Never seen a yak in game...

I don't think they have dedicated spawns. In most of the smaller sections I have made farms in they are just one of several things that have an RNG chance to spawn. If another thing spawns there all you need to do is kill them to clear the area again for fresh things to respawn.

In larger plains areas you can have multiple groups spawn at the same time, that makes it nice to fill up a box of lox.

Ok so they rotate and if you get lucky determines if they show up on same spot again. That makes it even worse, then you will probably get unlucky as is all the nature of rng in this game and they will simply never show up. Which is why the plains area i was stalking took that long for them to respawn.
