Reset the server?

Reset the server?

I am not running a public server, but hope that someone can give me some information.
When the items are collected from a shipwreck, is there anyway to repopulate those items?
The scenario is that I have a few guys that I work with that have been playing on the server. I have more fellas that want to play, so I want to put all the "goodies" back in place for the new players.
Anyone have any advice on how to do this, or even if it is possible?

Thanks,
K_Zot

every time the server gets reset the wrecks re-pop

Shortest route to re-spawn the items is to restart/boot the server.

Rumor has it that the items will respawn once per week w/out server restart, but I won't state that as fact as I don't truly know.

Thanks for the information. I think I will go out and bag a wreck and then check it in a week to see if I can confirm that.
If not, then I will shut the server down and bring it back up.
I don't have to change the server name or anything like that right?

There seems to be more rumor than fact on the respawning of wrecks on servers, and I am about to muddy the waters further. Restarting does respawn them, but I have also heard that the server remembers if YOU have looted a certain wreck, so the next visit you get squat.
