New Spawn Lists Descriptions
Here you can find a description of the new spawn lists. The names in (parentheses) are the names of the zone definitions, for mod authors who wish to add support for these spawn zones.

  • Commercial (commercial): Delivery and other small/medium-sized heavy-duty vehicles. Will be found near warehouses, factories, and other industrial areas

  • Utility (utility): Small utility vehicles such as pickup trucks and vans. Also has a smaller chance to spawn a trailer. Can be found around other commercial vehicles or near sheds in rural areas.

  • Large Commercial (commerciallarge): Large sized commercial vehicles such as semi-trucks, large box trucks, and large vans. Spawns in similar areas to the other commercial vehicles, but is not as common.

  • Utility Trailers (trailerutility): Small utility trailers. Areas can be found in similar places to Utility, near sheds and industrial areas.

  • New Car Dealer (newdealer): New model cars for use near car dealerships. These cars will be in pretty good condition.

  • Used Car Dealer (useddealer): For used car dealerships; contains mostly older cars, with a small chance for newer cars. These cars will be a bit damaged.

  • Specialty Car Dealer (specialdealer): Exotics, restored vintage cars, and imports for use at specialty car dealerships. They will be in great condition, and have a rare chance to be a special display car.

  • Barn Find (barnfind): [Mod vehicles only] Wrecked classic cars, will prefer rarer classics over common ones. These cars will be totally wrecked, possibly undrivable and require towing. These will be found near storage barns and some abandoned areas. Many areas will have a couple zones around it, creating a possibility of a bonus find.

  • Amateur Mechanic (amateurmechanic): [Mod vehicles only] A zone for an amateur mechanic's house, containing custom cars with a smaller chance for their stock counterparts. Unfortunately, it is currently not tied to a story or the occupation/trait at the moment. It is scattered around at various houses, mostly in rural areas, and near mechanic shops.

  • Import (import): [Mod vehicles only] Vehicles unavailable in the US, but sold in other parts of the world. Will be near shipping areas, such as railyards and docks.

  • Collector's (collectors): [Mod vehicles only] A very rare spawn zone that contains exotic and vintage cars, leaning more so towards vintage cars. These can be found in rich neighborhoods.

  • Exotic (exotic): [Mod vehicles only] Modern and classic exotic cars. Leans more so towards modern exotics. Similar to collector's, it can mostly be found in very rich neighborhoods.

  • Large Police (policelarge): SWAT vans, prison busses, and other large law enforcement vehicles.

  • Police Exclusive (policeonly): The vanilla police spawn list, but will only spawn police cars (the vanilla one has a high chance to spawn normal cars)

  • Expo Car Show (expocarshow): [Mod vehicles only] Used for areas where large car shows could be hosted. These areas will contain special race cars, custom cars, exotics, and vintage cars. Currently, the LV Expo Center is the only place to find these spawns.

  • Racing (racing): [Mod vehicles only] Race and track cars. Currently only found at the drag strip.

  • Ambulance Only (ambulanceonly): Vanilla ambulance list, but will only spawn ambulances with a greater spawn chance.

  • Huge Trailer (trailerhuge): [Mod vehicles only] Semi-truck trailers

What about military vehicles? For instance, the submods that disable farm spawns, does that mean I can find the OshKosh vehicles near military bases, or does that disable them spawning in general, since I see no mention of military vehicles.

There are a few military spawn zones placed, they aren't listed here because most mods already have the spawn definition set up, there just aren't any zones for it in vanilla. The disabled farm spawns submods are mostly there because there are way more spawn zones for the farm definition in this mod, so they'd be way more common than intended. Many older military mods used farm as a temporary "military" spawn since there aren't many normally in vanilla. Tread's Military Vehicle Zone Defs covers military spawns much more comprehensively, and it can be used alongside this mod if you want more military spawn zones.
