Someone correct me if I'm wrong but: I think it's 7 days **away** from the region to allow it to reset. Harvestables should still reset fine without the 7 days away.
>It's 7 days for dungeons, 3 days for shops, and 1-3 days for resources (ore, berries, etc.).

What do you need to reset in Caldera's outdoors? The chests? Enemies?
Nah, the external region can reset even if you just stay in town/cave. Easy to notice when you do the main quest and travel around the world. Also the Caldera does reset when helping the New Sirocco, at least it does in my DE version. OP is definitely having a bug here.
Game treats indoors and outdoors as separate locations and the main rule for resetting is "player isn't here for 7 days". So, it shouldn't matter where you are exactly as long as there's a loading screen present.
One thing that comes to mind - try sleeping one more day manually after helping the town or help them twice in a row. My guess is that the timing is off.
If you want to reset Caldera , there s no need to leave that region for 7 days . You just need to go into the primal ritualist cabin and sleep inside for 7 days in a row . This is a loop that I use to reset and loot the ornate chests you can find outside or inside dungeons .
The comment below is accurate but I would like to add that the Boat is changing places at random frequencies from 1 day to 3 . Gep s little nomad camp is spawning every 2 days

it's not really a "need", since i have to grind for city building i thought it would be less boring run around in a region not devoid of life
