Description
December 2024 Note: This is created and tested for Build 41 only, the Build 42 update will come in the future! The mod may still work fine with Build 42 - but use at your own risk!

Increases the chances of gas cans and other gasoline containers (i.e. bottles) spawning in people's homes as they were readying up for the end of the world. Allows for more gasoline to be scavenged, perfect for zero fuel in fuel pumps custom settings to make gameplay not so dependent on siphoning cars alone. As a vanilla item inserted into vanilla spawns, the rate is greatly affected by your custom loot settings.

Future Plans:
-Update the mod for Build 42 when the time comes.

-Of course, if there are any issues or imbalances I will try and correct them. I use all my mods myself.

Extra Notes:
If anyone knows how to access the fuel reserves of the fuel pumps via scripts (e.g. getPipedFuelAmount() and whatnot), please let me know. I was originally going to make a mod where you can choose the fuel pump maximum amounts by yourself. It seems that on the lowest setting, each fuel pump 'tile' still has up to 100 units of fuel (a gas can holds 8, and a gas station has 4 to 8 fuel pumps each). This means that unless you are playing with at least a dozen people, you do not need to worry about fuel management at all in the game.

Permissions:
Please do not mod-pack or reupload this mod anywhere else, just share the link to this page.
I hope you enjoy this mod.

Thank you.
also the more I think of it the more it makes cents the game was not made in the USA, such as how there are no propane swap cages at stores and gas stations, almost no gun stores, and the few there are are mostly surplus stores. The more I think about it, everything is layed out more like small UK towns spread out like small US towns. Also what is in the towns tends to be kind of odd, and the farm houses tend to be small for US rural houses considering how many people live in them on average, such as my neighbors whom on average have 6-8 kids and around 5-6 bedrooms on average, also they often have more then the two generation living there.

1.1 Update

-Added a 2x spawns file, you can double the spawn rate by using that file instead, or triple it by using both.

I guess if they add "colour" pencils that would also be a tip off.

The main reason the 8 liters tipped me off was.... I started writing something too long, I didn't realize just how much I knew about gas cans and there history.

Yeah the gas can in the code is "item PetrolCan" lol, clear giveaway.

it's funny, it was realizing that gas cans hold 8 units, meaning 8 liters, and how some other units translate, I thought the Dev team were from the UK, I looked up and they are, and Canada, which explains a few default settings. I mostly find it funny that's what made me finally look it up.
