don't open them until your game stage is over 30

Or just, yknow, Play the game instead of trying to min-max your loot. Loot respawns by default so it doesn't hurt you to loot something now. Yeah, You'll get stone tools and blunderbusses a lot, but you still have a chance at getting stuff like a pistol rarely.

Even if you play with no loot respawn, an 8k map has so many places to loot that over 90% of the map will be looted after you've reached a gamestage of 30.

Are you saying its impossible to survive with no loot respawn?

What? No, not at all. I'm saying that even with loot respawn being disabled, the vast majority of lootable objects will be looted after you have reached gamestage 30.

Saving the big boxes until level 15/gamestage 30 is just silly in light of that, unless you're the type of person who doesn't actually do POI's as a whole but instead just pillars up and digs into the loot room and ignores the rest, in which case yeah, you could loot every single loot room in the map before reaching level 15 since you're ignoring 99.99% of exp gaining activities in favor of attempting to get easy loot.
