Item spawn locations
So you know where to look for the items.

LOCATIONS AND CONTAINERS

Book distribution
  • Houses
    - any book shelves on the living room
    • Prepper Mags have rare spawns
    • Skillbooks have normal spawns
  • Bookstores (Such as the enigma store on westpoint)
    - any book shelves and counters
    • Prepper Mags have normal spawns
    • Skillbooks have rare spawns (All vanilla skillbooks on the bookstores are kinda rare so I went for the same values for this mod's skillbooks)
  • Libraries (Such as the one you'll find on every school)
    - any book shelves and counters
    • Prepper Mags have rare spawns
    • Skillbooks have normal spawns


Crossbow items distribution
  • General
    - Male and female corpses
    • Crossbows have the same spawn chances of a pistol. (You'll only get from them crossbow pistols. This however will be removed once I find a way of making them carry the crossbow pistol on a holster.)
    • Bolt packs have rare spawns
    • Singular bolts have somewhat rare spawns
    - Worker sports bag
    • Crossbows have the same spawn chances of a pistol. (You'll only get from them crossbow pistols. This however will be removed once I find a way of making them carry the crossbow pistol on a holster.)
    • Bolt packs have rare spawns
    • Singular bolts have somewhat rare spawns
  • Sheds
    - Any container inside the shed (Counter, metal shelves, etc)
    • Crossbows have the same spawn chances as a hammer or handaxe. The better the crossbow tho, the lower the chances.
    • Bolt packs and singular bolts have higer chances than the crossbows.
  • Bar
    - Counters
    • Crossbows have ultra-rare spawns
    • Bolt packs have rare spawns
    • Singular bolts won't spawn. (Because who tf goes hunting with a single bolt?)

      (Note: Whoever says a bar shouldn't have hunting weapons such as a crossbow is right. but remember that a PZ bar is always near a forests and wild life. Of course, to make it more realistic, chances will be hella low... And since they're there for hunting reasons, the crossbow pistol wont spawn.)


Books and crossbow items distribution
  • Garages and Fancy garages for rich people
    - Any metal shelves.
    • Prepper Mags have rare spawns
    • Skillbooks have rare spawns
    • Crossbows have ultra-rare spawns (The better the bow, the lower the chances)
    • Bolt packs and singular bolts have somewhat normal spawns
  • Gun Store (PEW! PEW!)
    - Counters
    • Prepper Mags have ultra-rare spawns
    • Skillbooks have rare spawns
    • (Only) Hand crossbows have normal spawns
    • Bolt packs and singular bolts have normal spawns
    - Display case
    • Hunting crossbows have good spawns (The better the bow, the lower the chances)
    • Hand crossbows have rare spawns
    • Bolt packs and have high spawns
    • No singular bolts. (It's a gun store, they don't sell you 1 bolt but a whole quiver instead, Duh.)
    - Locker
    • They are ment for big guns, not hand crossbows.
    • Hunting crossbows have rare spawns (Lower than a shotgun spawn)
    • Bolt packs have good spawns (Lower than firearms ammo tho)
    - Metal shelves
    • Crossbows have normal spawns
    • Bolt packs and singular bolts have good spawns

WIP CONTAINERS

The following containers are on the current mod's distribution script. But these were added by kitsune and not balanced/tweaked by me. This means that some of the following container may make no sense at all (Like a spawn for crossbows on industrial areas).

These are containers that still need to be avaluated by me and tweaked or removed if necessary.

IF YOU ARE 100% CERTAIN OF WHERE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS ARE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENT SECTION BELOW.


  • Gun store storage (I don't know where to find this location)
    - All (every container I guess?)

  • Hunting (I don't know where to find this location)
    - Locker
    - Metal shelves

  • Weapon bag (I don't know where you get this)

  • Survivor bag (I don't know where you get this)

  • Gun cache #1 (I don't know where to find this location)
    - Gun box
    - Counter
    - Dufflebag

  • Gun cache #2 (I don't know where to find this location)
    - Gun box
    - Dufflebag

  • Security (I don't know where to find this location)
    - Locker

  • Army surplus (I don't know where to find this location)
    - Shelves
    - Metal shelves

SUGGESTIONS

If you think a spawn location should be added or removed, please let me know on the comment section. If it sound realistic enough I'll make it happen.
