DayZ loot economy

A quick map of how central economy files depend on each other.

How cleanup-related values decide when bodies, ruined items, dropped loot and event objects disappear.

Defines dynamic event behavior such as vehicle spawns, infected groups, animals, wrecks and other event-driven objects.

Defines loot classes and central economy values: how many items can exist, where they spawn, and how they respawn.

Optional custom economy files used to keep modded or server-specific loot separate from vanilla `types.xml`.

Core central economy folder. Contains most files that control loot, events, globals, messages and economy switches.

Use the Loot Editor to inspect and edit item economy values through the launcher instead of hand-editing XML.

Global central economy constants. Controls high-level behavior for cleanup, spawn limits and economy timing.

Explains when a normal restart is enough and when persistence cleanup is needed for economy changes to be visible.

Count flags decide what existing items are counted toward nominal/min limits. These flags strongly affect rare loot availability.

Explains the complete condition chain for a custom DayZ event to actually appear in-game.

Step-by-step knowledge for diagnosing why an item configured in `types.xml` does not appear in-game.

Vehicle spawning is split across multiple files. `events.xml` controls population, `cfgeventspawns.xml` controls coordinates, and `cfgspawnabletypes.xml` controls parts/cargo.

Complete path for making a modded item spawn naturally in the world.

Tunes base building rules, required materials and persistence cleanup balance.

Balances raiding by changing availability of explosives, ammo, tools and base damage rules.

Complete multi-file workflow for adding or tuning car spawns through the central economy.

Detailed explanation of `ce` folder registration. This controls which extra economy folders and XML files are loaded.

Defines the valid names for categories, usages, values and tags used by `types.xml` and economy placement.

Reusable random selection pools. Other economy files can reference presets so one logical group can randomly choose from many items.

Explains how `cfgspawnabletypes.xml` uses preset names from `cfgrandompresets.xml` to avoid repeating large cargo or attachment lists.

Controls attachments and cargo that can spawn inside or on complex items, weapons, clothing and containers.

A wipe resets stored world state. Used after major economy changes, map changes, broken vehicle state or corrupted persistence.

Turns central economy systems on or off, including dynamic and static economy behavior.

Explains how loot classification works. `category` describes item type, `usage` describes allowed places, and `value` often represents loot tier.

Explains how a reward crate, airdrop-style object or custom container event is built from event population plus container cargo.

Detailed workflow for adding a modded vehicle so it loads, spawns, has parts and lets players join.

Creates a dynamic loot crate, supply box or custom container event with configured cargo.

Tunes survival difficulty through food loot, animal spawns and cleanup/population settings.

Balances military weapons, ammo and equipment across tiers and military areas.

Controls whether spawned vehicles are nearly complete, damaged, missing parts, or stocked with cargo.

Registers economy XML files and mod economy folders so the mission can load additional loot definitions.

Defines grouped spawn compositions for dynamic events. Used when one event should spawn several objects together as a layout.

List of objects ignored by central economy cleanup or persistence processing.

Clear checklist for performing a real wipe, including DayZ storage and mod-created profile state.

Explains spacing controls that prevent events from spawning too close to players, other events or unsafe positions.
