📋 About This Mod
Turns the Boston Public Library into a settlement
Description
After cleaing the library from the Super Mutants, it can now be turned into a fully-functional settlement. The cell has been renavmeshed, precombines and previsibility were regenerated, most objects not part of the precombines were made scrappable, or scraplinked together.
The Workshop, located in the room next to the toilets, can be claimed after the library has been cleaned from Super Mutants. This can be done either through Daisy's quest, or by just entering it and waiting until they attack. Technically, the quest triggers either way. You don't need to return to Daisy to unlock the Workshop.
Installation
Put this mod close to the bottom of your load order. Like all settlement mods, it must win any conflicts in regard of cell edits. Cell edits are caused by precombine repair mods, and by any mods which place items, NPCs, or literally anything in the cell.

[*]A failsafe has been added, in case you use Place Everywhere to scrap the Book Return Machines. If you do that, the rewards will be placed into the Workshop.
