Where's Hazmat Suit ?

Description

Add the hazmat suit to the zombie spawn distribution list (meaning you will find zombies wearing them).

This mod can be used on its own, but it really shines with the Hydrocraft mod where the hazmat suit is needed to craft the firesuit. This blocks most of the mod content unless you want to constantly be healing serious burn.

But the hazmat suit spawn rate in this mod is very abysmal. We spend 400h looking for one and never found one. This mod makes it so the suit has a higher spawn rate in some locations.

- Hospitals have a 2% chance of spawning one.
- Normal military have a 1% chance of spawning one.
- The secret military base has a 5% chance of spawning one (1% in Hydrocraft).
- You also have a 1/2000 chance of spotting one in the wild (1/10000 in Hydrocraft).

From my testing, I never saw one in the smaller hospital but the 2 large ones in Louisville had 4-5 of them. The secret base has maybe 5-8 of them. Most are worn out so it's not that unbalanced.

Note: Spawn rate of Hydrocraft will be added on top of this, shouldn't change much outside of the secret base where I think it makes sense to have a lot of them around.

@=jF= Thanks, I've seen a few doctors there I just keep clearing all the zombies in the area and letting them respawn.

Since there usually so little zombie in those building it's pretty rare for them to RNG their way in there. I remember testing it and having a hard time finding one even when an debug mode teleporting around. But I eventually found a doctor in one and if there's a doctor, there should have a chance for them to spawn there as there no doctor in any other zone definition.

So yeah they should spawn there very rarely.

Does this affect all medical areas? Such as cortman medical or only hospitals?

Currently going for a full-on L4D2-style modpack. This is the icing on the cake that I've been looking for the past few days, will help give the same tone and atmosphere. Wish the spawnrates were adjustable though.

This makes me wonder, are PZ hazmat zombies immune to fire? If not, that could be a really cool option to put in. Would need to somehow check zombie inventories for hazmat suits and somehow give them a fire resistance buff. If not already also zombies wearing firefighter gear.

Lastly to add to the conversation I've seen a single hazmat zombie in a playthough but it was likely due to authentic Z or some other mod. The wiki says they can rarely be found at a specific shack that is meant to be a drug lab, but who knows.
