Authentic Regional Police

Description
This mod aims to make Build 42's regional police vehicle spawns more realistic.

With this mod enabled, the distribution of police vehicles is drastically improved. By default, all police vehicles - no matter how common a specific department would be in real life - have the same spawn chances as each other. For example:
Without this mod, you might not be able to find a SINGLE Louisville City Police vehicle in the entirety of Louisville because of all spawns getting replaced by county or state police.
With this mod, however, one would have to be extremely unlucky to not find a city police car in Louisville because of the vastly increased spawn chances.
It's obvious the vanilla scenario would never realistically happen, simply because of the city police department having jurisdiction in only one area: the city itself. Other police departments, like County Police or the State Police, would be involved much more in fighting the zombie outbreak in other parts of the county and state, respectively, where there is no police force dedicated to that specific area.

Spawn chances
Common police car:
- Louisville: 80% City PD, 10% County PD, 10% State Trooper
- Louisville suburbs: 75% County PD, 25% State Trooper
- Louisville International Airport: 50% Security (Pickup), 12.5% County PD, 37.5% State Trooper
- Valley Station: 50% Sheriff's Office, 25% County PD, 25% State Trooper
- Muldraugh: 62.5% City PD, 25% Sheriff's Office, 12.5% State Trooper
- West Point: 75% City PD, 25% State Trooper
- Rosewood: 75% Sheriff's Office, 25% State Trooper
- Riverside: 75% Sheriff's Office, 25% State Trooper
- March Ridge: 100% State Trooper
- Everywhere else: 20% Sheriff's Office, 80% State Trooper
Rarer police vehicle:
- Louisville: 60% City PD (SWAT), 20% County PD, 20% State Trooper
- Louisville suburbs: 75% County PD, 25% State Trooper
- Louisville International Airport: 60% Security, 10% County PD, 30% State Trooper
- Valley Station: 50% County PD, 50% State Trooper
- Everywhere else: 100% State Trooper

Notice: The mod relies fully and completely on systems and content that is provided with the vanilla version of Build 42, including all of the police vehicles mentioned in the description. All this mod does is adjust how common the specific law enforcement organizations are - nothing more, nothing less.

I don't know what will happen now but I can assure you with almost 100% certainty that this mod is not compatible with STFR
Jessie 9 Aug @ 6:45pm 
hey hey, STFR got released for B42, will this affect spawns and locations for agencies or naw?

@Jessie
Yeah, the liveries in vanilla are more than just inaccurate - the devs even made up names for some of the police agencies. Not to mention the awful distribution of the various agencies in vanilla...
Jessie 31 Jul @ 6:01pm 
the base game liveries kinda suck but this helps nonetheless

This mod doesn't change the spawn rates or spawning mechanisms for police cars. It only affects REPLACEMENT vehicles for when the game attempts to spawn a police vehicle - so the spawning itself is untouched, only the end cars are touched.
Sidney Boogins 27 Jun @ 7:04pm 
doesnt seem to work at all. Only police vehicles that spawn are parked usually in front of police stations, and this mod makes them like .05% chance of spawning at all. no other mods that touch vehicles or spawn rates at all besides bombs

@𝔅𝔞𝔰𝔢𝔡
Yes, of course. It just won't apply to already-spawned cars, which will remain in vanilla 1:1 ratio between each law enforcement agency.

Week One doesn't interfere with this mod directly. However, to my knowledge, Week One significantly alters various spawning mechanisms, and thus may have reduced car spawns => less chance of finding police cars. It's worth nothing that for each parking spot designated as a police car spawn point, there is a 60% chance that the spawned car will NOT be a police vehicle.
My advice would be to turn up car spawns to at least "normal" (from the default "low") in Sandbox settings. You could also try increasing randomized road story chance, so that police roadblocks etc. have a greater chance to appear.
