So I wonder - once the building collapsed and there is a pile of rubble and “I wish I had a shovel” - if there was an NPC corpse with a loot there - once I dig the rubble up, will the loot bу there?

Make sure to clear the metal wreckages in the wilderness too.

The loot in some of those wreckages is just insane.

Surface loot: one armor plating.  
Wreckage loot: 4 cbms, armor vests, guns, rocket launchers, etc.

Yes. Start digging up any wreckage you see. The scrap metal alone is enough to start blacksmithing.

Because it’s VERY VERY random. A very few sites have a bunch of great stuff(various rockets and missiles, miniguns, CBMs, including some REALLY rare ones), many sites have at least a few things (military clothing, possibly a few guns with no magazines, MBRs, helmets), and many sites have nothing but scrap and wire (or nothing USEFUL besides scrap and wire, anyway).

There always is a military black box. Other stuff is random.

Yeah, that’s true - and you never need more than one (assuming you take it with you - it’s never “used up”), so that’s a LOT of extra black boxes…

I’ve always wanted to make an option where, if you decrypted a black box, you’d get directions to whatever anomalies were around the crash site you got the box from.

Alas, I lack the coding ability.

Digging wreckage has a cost though it seems. It increments your hunger and thirst by 10 points each time you clear a tile of wreckage. Not a problem if you have tons of food and drink, but it will prevent an early game survivor from doing it, unless they want to die of overexertion.

Still you can do this to eat more of something specifically to cure a nutritional related ailment since food itself doesn’t cause hypervitaminoses.
