Endless Containers
------------------
Set the behaviour of the container to despawn when opened.
Create a timer trigger nearby and set it cyclic, to 1 second and set it to spawn the container.

Now when someone destroys the container it will instantly repop (Or you can set it on a time delay).

Set Dressing
------------
I always seem to run out of objects before creatures. The best way to create a feeling of fullness that I have found is to 'cluster' terrain features in small, discrete spots, 2-3 to a spot, rather than trying to spread out trees etc to fill an area. Any leftover creature spots can be used to fill terrain with plant mobs, which helps make it feel fuller.

Creature Patrols
---------------
You can't set them to patrol routes as you can with guards etc but you can chain feed/sleep spots as appropriate and set the creatures to cycle their route from zone to zone creating the same effect. The little footprints will show the approximate path that the creatures will take.
