Where to find Canopy Tent in DayZ
Canopy Tent is the in-game name; server files such as types.xml call it PartyTent.
On Chernarus, the economy keeps about 10 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 6 are left, after waiting 12 h. Each one lasts 45 d when nobody touches it. It spawns in Town places.
On Livonia, the economy keeps about 10 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 6 are left, after waiting 12 h. Each one lasts 45 d when nobody touches it. It spawns in Town and Village places.
On Sakhal, the economy keeps about 10 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 6 are left, after waiting 12 h. Each one lasts 45 d when nobody touches it. It spawns in Town and Village places.
On Nasdara, the economy keeps about 6 on the map and spawns more when fewer than 4 are left, after waiting 12 h. Each one lasts 45 d when nobody touches it. It spawns in Town places.

Tier1 is near the coast and Tier4 deep inland. "Counts" lists where copies count towards nominal: count_in_map means copies lying in the world, count_in_cargo in containers, count_in_hoarder in tents, barrels and stashes, count_in_player on players. Every value is explained in DayZ types.xml explained.
