Tools that add finds
Each search rolls for a minor wound, then a major one. A wound ends the search with nothing found and ends scavenging for the night.
What changes the chances
Both chances halved while you carry one.
Both chances a quarter higher.
No wounds, 2 fewer attempts.
No wounds
No minor wound in the first 10 searches, no major wound in the first 20.
Each wound is avoided with a chance equal to your Luck in %, but that search still finds nothing. With negative Luck, a search without a wound comes up empty with a chance equal to the Luck value without its minus sign.
A minor wound adds 2 to your wound level, a major wound 5. Above 5 you cannot leave the store at night.
Every night starts with 5 attempts.
Attempts
+2 attempts
-2 attempts
+5 attempts
-1 per full week after the first. No scavenging from day 22.
No scavenging from day 36 with Proficient Scavenger, from day 8 with Careful Scavenger.
The Dumping Ground is not listed.
Events
Wednesdays. Junk weight halved: 65% to 48.15% of finds (the event says 50% less). Wounds a quarter more likely.
On day 15, for 50 Credits, that night and the next two: no wounds, +5 attempts.
During the nights named in Georgio's letter about Serpico, food left on the Ground here counts toward Serpico's 2,000 kcal.
Taking items home
Found items land on the Ground, a 12 x 9 grid. Only the backpack slot and the two pocket slots come home; the rest is lost.
While The Butcher is hunting you, you can only go out with a backpack that has a gun inside.
Listed every night except with the Maimed perk.
