Save quitting is how you farm, and it kicks everyone else out of your game. This does the same job without ending the session.
Press F6. Chests come back unopened, vendors restock, enemies respawn, and nobody gets kicked out.
Host only
Only the host needs it. Travel is server side so your friend gets pulled along, and everyone lands back where they were stood instead of at the fast travel point.
Options
Respawn Chests & Vendors (on) - vendors count as population too, so their item of the day rerolls every time you reload.
Respawn Enemies (on) - separate switch, because enemies sit on a different population class to everything else. Turn it off if respawning mission NPCs gets in the way.
Restore Position (on) - off means you come back at the station instead.
Save Before Reloading (on) - leave this alone unless you know why you want it off.
Position Restore Window (150) - how long the mod holds you in place after the load. Raise it if you still end up at the station.
How it works
quickload and Commander both call ReturnToTitleScreen, which is the save quit menu option, so they kick your partner too. This travels to a station instead, down the same code path the game uses for fast travel, and the session survives that.
The travel on its own isnt enough though. Loading a map doesnt reset chests, which is why fast travelling somewhere and coming back has never worked for farming. Chests get handed out by the population system, and theres one flag on it, bTotalResetOnLevelLoad, that decides whether a spawner forgets what it already gave you. It ships off, so the mod flips it on and then travels.
Respawning Loot has been doing that with one set command for years, all credit there. This just does the same thing from python so its all one mod, and splits chests and enemies apart since they live on different classes.
Dice chests are left out on purpose. They stack their loot instead of rerolling it, which makes them a pain to loot.
Known quirks
It travels to whatever station your save last recorded, not necessarily one in the map youre stood in. Nearly every map has a New-U or a level transition and those count, so youll probably never hit it. If your last save was somewhere else though, thats where youll end up.
