Suggestion: Findable digital libraries

[physics-enthusiast]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Given the proliferation of digitized books and the availability of large amounts of specialty information online, it seems likely that preppers and governments would have local backups of useful digital media in their respective installations, given the minimal opportunity costs that this would incur.

Solution you would like.

Have USB drives or hackable computers containing a large fraction of all available books in the game possibly spawn in LMOE shelters and military-associated locations. The military ones should probably be more difficult to hack, but given that this data would be obtainable publically anyway breaking into these backups would likely be one of the easier hacking tasks. Maybe also have a "digital doomsday vault" overmap special corresponding to the real-life Arctic World Archive that contains literally every book ever (other than the mutagen and Rivtech ones for fairly obvious reasons).

Describe alternatives you have considered.

Would similarly make sense to have the odd ebook on tablets and the like. Almost entirely "for fun" books, though. I suppose a case could be made for a college-level textbook or two to very rarely appear on a laptop, on account of students pirating scanned copies of otherwise very expensive textbooks, a practice that isnt too rare.

I suppose the first step would be to fix spawning a container (memory_card) with a ebook pocket with some content-items that are books. Currently this fails and the books are not put into the EBOOK type pocket of the container. example spawn config:

      { "item": "emergency_book", "container-item": "memory_card" }
