Mod «1284Z: Fleet Keys for Emergency Vehicles [B42.16]» for Project Zomboid

Changes emergency services vehicles to use shared fleet keys instead of spawning with unique keys. Police, Fire, Ambulance, Forestry, and Louisville-city emergency fleets now behave like real-life keyed-alike service vehicles, making the municipal keys useful for an entire fleet instead of just for the car it came from.

Across most of Knox Country, standard emergency vehicles (Police, Fire, Ambulance) all use the same key: the Emergency Services 1284Z. Because Louisville is supposed to be a pain in the ass, once you are north of the military checkpoint, emergency services each have their own silos. That ambulance key only works in ambulances, fire for fire, etc. Park Ranger vehicles all use their own fleet key.

Supports Build 42.16 (Singleplayer working, Multiplayer untested but should theoretically work).

This mod is inspired by the use of real-world fleet keys, the namesake being Ford’s 1284X, an ubiquitous «default» key pattern used for a staggering number of police and other municipal vehicles across the 20th century. If you didn’t specifically ask for your fleet to use a secure key, they probably gave your whole department the 1284X. So if you had a 1284X, you could get into most police cars in America.
