Im having a problem making a turf spawn an Item at runtime, also, could it be made to appear only to a player who hasnt obtained the item, using a variable or something to regulate this?
turf
 Turfs
  Fire_Res_Spawner
   density=0
   New()
    var/obj/Items/Fire_Resistance/L=new/obj/Items/Fire_Resistance
    L.loc=src.loc

Might need to use x/y/z

i.e. 
        New()
            ..()
            var/obj/FRS/f = new(locate(src.x,src.y,src.z))

You might want to explain how, and show an alternative.

This was close to being correct.
You want this obj's loc to be equal to a turf, not a turf's loc. A turf's loc is going to be the area that it resides in.
If we were looking at your mob:
src.loc would be the turf that your mob is standing on.
src.loc.loc would be the area that the turf is in.

As for making some item appear only to a player that doesn't have it, I'm going to point you to Forum_Account's Visibility Groups. I haven't used it, but it seems to be what you're looking for.
