Curious about stocked prepper caches

[piddy3825]

Are the stocked prepper caches selected totally at random with each game launched or are there combinations of locations?

I've only launched a few new play throughs since the revisions were made, runs that I'm still playing because I haven't died yet.  That being said, curious if there are some locations that are always stocked?  For example, in both games HRV was stocked.  Was that just a fluke or is that by design?

Which of the 9 that will be stocked, is RNG'd/re-rolled/determined for each run.
3 will be stocked and the remaining 6 will be "abandoned."
To my knowledge there are none that are guaranteed to be stocked.

*Addendum:
 NOTE: Prepper Caches spawn in Interloper and Misery but will always be the "Abandoned Type."

I've had the Prepper Cache in ML be stocked on 2 consecutive saves, and empty on the next one or 2.  It's random. AFAIK the only ones that are guaranteed to be stocked are the Tales bunkers (if you have the DLC).

I've had a lot of side runs and I've had quite a few in mystery lake, BlackRock and Milton... I think they are mostly random but also have a pattern to some extent.. I've had a couple of runs that have those three caches ..  I suppose there's only so many combinations though and it's bound to happen that you get the same three in a run  more than once.
