tents spawn in same 'spot' each time?

[Dayzo 182]

In supermarkets, can tents spawn in any of the 24 spawn points?

I've seen two tents now, and they both spawned in the same spot within the supermarket.

Was that just co-incidence?

Thanks.

Did you find it outside in the back? I did.

[Dayzo 182]

Outside? There isn't a spawn point outside. Someone must have dropped that.

The two I've seen spawned in the same spot near the main door.

No, some of the supermarkets have the little edge in the back:

So I doubt they have a fixed spawn point. Wouldn't make sense and such a meaningless change.

i've seen loot piles outside market's back multiple times

Ah, on the loading bays; yep, that would be 'outside'. I was thinking you meant outside on the ground!

Now that (tent) duping seems to have been fixed and they're saving properly, does anyone else think that

a 1% chance at supermarkets and a 0.3% chance elsewhere is too scarce? In my opinion, tents are

critical to the game and everyone should have a good chance of setting up a small camp of their own.

I find more tents than I care to. Everyone will happen upon one eventually. Spawn chance seems fine, since it's not a "must have" item like food or empty tin cans.

i would say i find a tent maybe 1 out of every 20 supermarket visits. i think the odds are fine

That would be 5% chance. In supermarkets it's supposed to be 1% and it's 0.3% elsewhere.

I spent 4 hours yesterday, and 6 hours today clearing the same supermarket repeatedly, to generate new spawns.

Each clear-out and respawn took about 10 minutes. I saw just one tent in 50 spawns.

Not sure I've got the patience to continue - it's no fun at all.

Dont worry, there will be a time when you want one and none will ever spawn.
