📋 About This Mod

Armored (Wastelander style) Guard shacks, Roof for guard posts, a couple mashups of vanilla shack parts, and a bunch of vanilla Shack Parts and supports tweaked and/or added to the workshop menu.

This started with using a vanilla Shack Wall and Roof to make a guard hut so the poor guards could have a roof over their heads. But the vanilla Shack Wall and Roof didn't look very intimidating compared to the Guard Post. So did a mashup of a Shack Wall and Roof and the Guard Post. Then the new guard shack needed sides so did a mashup of a balcony railing with guard post parts. Next it needed a way to snap the railing to the sides of the guard shack. This lead to figuring out how connections work and finding all sorts of cool existing meshes in the base game Shacks folder that didn't have connection points or a workshop recipe to create the object. So started adding connections to building parts and adding them into the game. Also modified a few meshes to add connection points for easier settlement building.

Some building parts maybe duplicated in other mods but seemed like they only had a few and scattered in different menus. All parts (except the guard tower) are from base game folders and modified as needed to make them work as building objects.

Basically sharing stuff I wanted for my game. Maybe someone else will find it interesting.
