📋 About This Mod
Cell Respawn Timer
This mod is nice, simple and easy. What does it do? Well, instead of having to wait a week or so for the cells to respawn, it changes it so the game respawns cells in a matter of a day, two days or three etc.
Made using FO4Edit
The default vanilla setting for a norm cells respawn is 168 hours and for a cleared cell it is 480.

1: Normal cells respawn every 24 hours. Cleared Cells every 48 hours
2: Normal cells respawn every 48 hours. Cleared Cells every 96 hours
