=== Category Tag === <div style="border-style: dashed; border-width: 1px;"> <div style="padding-left: 5px;"> The '''Category''' tag is used in both buildings and [[Loot|items]]. On items, this tag is used to classify the type of item it is. On buildings, this tag is used to determine the types of items that can spawn in or around the building. There are '''seven''' different Category tags items and buildings can have. ; Items Almost every item has '''one''' Category tag. This tag sets the item's type and is used by the {{PAGENAME}} to determine which buildings can spawn the item. An item's Category tag, in general, matches up with the type of item it is (i.e. The [[Cargo Pants]] have the ''Clothing'' Category tag, the [[Hacksaw]] has the ''Tools'' Category tag). Items without a Category tag can spawn where ever its Location tag(s) will allow it. ; Buildings Every building that spawns loot has '''one or more''' Category tags, generally two or three. These tags are used by the {{PAGENAME}} to determine which items can spawn in the building. Like items, a building's Category tag(s) match up with the type of building it is (i.e. The Grocery Stand has the ''Food'' Category tag, the [[Garage]] has the ''Vehicle Parts'' Category tag). {|class="wikitable" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; border: none;" !
