Nice change separating boss config to its own file cause i've also been having problem with boss spawns and hopefully this update has resolved that!
Could you explain the minus one (-1) flag in bossConfig.json? Is that supposed to represent a positive like 1 normally is? does -1 mean true, or false, or zero?

This is normal SPT. If you buy anything before going into a raid it will use what's in your container. Just remember to add the money again when you're done.

No way... I can't believe i didn't figure that out.

Thanks for clearing that up.
Thread solved, i guess!

I keep some cash in a wallet in my alpha container - usually around 20k rubles. After a raid that cash is typically deleted.

I'm unsure which mod/s could be causing this bug, though i have a suspicion that it could be Take A Break as it is the most recent mod that i installed.

Any guidance or recommendations would be appreciated.

Screw it. I edited the user JSON file to give myself the key. After multiple runs at loose loot set to 20 it doesn't spawn.

It's a quest dependent item that should have a near 100% spawn chance.

I can't say for sure as I don't use it, but I think SVM has a section where you can manually adjust spawn rates for items. You'd need to look up the item ID for the keys you feel are too rare and add them there.

Even more curious is that the ID for key 203 "5c99f98d86f7745c314214b3" does not appear in the Customs (bigmap) looseLoot.json file. It might actually be broken.

Only suggestions would be as follows:

Try to reproduce this without any mods

Turn up the global loot spawns higher and see if they start appearing

I don't believe any of those mods would affect loose loot of the keys you're having issues finding, however. It's likely a mix of RNG and low loose loot multipliers.

Thanks for the feedback.

I did exactly what you said. I moved all my mods and started a new profile and used SVM to increase the loose loot modifier from 1.2 to 20. Keys then spawned in their locations almost always.
Next i'll try with mods and still at 20 to see if the mods are preventing the spawning.

If i find that the issue is keys being extremely rare, is there a way to increase key spawn % without increasing all loose loot %? I like a reasonable hunt for the keys without an unreasonable amount of loot available.

This is just the default game as far as I know
You can download mods that change the loose loot spawn rate but I'm not sure if there are any that target keys specifically
It's one of those things in the game that BSG has ignored/nerfed over time and finding keys in raid in loose loot locations is so rare that you probably will never find them
If someone has a mod that targets key spawns that would be awesome but I don't know of it

I might not have been clear in my op. What i mean by "loose keys" is the keys that spawn at very specific physical locations on the map like the examples listed. Just to be clear i don't mean keys in random loose loot locations.
The issue I'm experiencing is that these keys that are supposed to spawn very often at the same location are not spawning ever.

I cannot find any keys in any of their determined physical locations. Keys appear randomly in containers like jackets, filing cabinets, on scavs, and PMCs as usual but never in their loose locations.

I have not once found a key where it should be on any map, and have noticed this since I've been farming customs for specific keys.

I have checked next to the dead scav on the sofa for the checkpoint key at least 10 times, and dorms room 214 mug for key 203 at least 5 times, on top of any other key spawns I pass like 114 in the car, and on the chair at the radio tower, guard desk hand, factory key in office, etc. For distinction: the machinery key spawns inside its jacket every time, and so does the unknown key on the dead scav every time i've checked. The problem relates only to loose spawns.
Now that i think about it, I've also never found a keycard in over 60 raids and 250 kills.

Is it possible that one of my mods has turned off or massively reduced loose key spawn rate for my game?
Any information would be a great help. I'm progression locked until i solve this.
Thanks!
