Some tips for datamining wiki editors.

If you're tech-savvy and familiar with Underrail files, you can find out exactly what kind of random loot any container has by digging through the unpacked zone files (you can mass extract most of them with any general-purpose archiver like 7z) for its references to item range enums (eIR, shown parenthesis after each item range's name). Zone filenames you can see on the wiki zone screenshots and (vaguely) in location infoboxes. Or get this https://underrail.info.tm/junk/CustomConfig.xml and save it in your <code>Documents\My Games\Underrail\</code>, it shows zone filenames while holding '''Alt''' in-game.

Whether an item is statically placed can be checked in similar manner, search the zone/zone layer files for reference to that item. Most static items have datafile reference in their infobox, check the page source for that.

Underrail Zone (.uz) files contain the basic geometry of the areas, more dynamic stuff like items is usually in Underrail Zone Layers (.uzl). You will need a hex editor and working knowledge of the [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc236844.aspx serialization format] to deal with them, or perhaps some kind of .NET deserializer. - [[User:Epeli\|epeli]] ([[User talk:Epeli\|talk]]) 13:42, 10 October 2019 (CDT)
