📋 About This Mod
The Problem
The Prydwen & Boston Airport Ruins map markers show the settlement stats for the Boston Airport Settlement.
Additionally, the Boston Airport Settlement's fast travel mat has a 66% chance to attach itself to the wrong map marker.
The Solution
I manually assigned the Prydwen map marker to the Prydwen encounter zone.
I manually assigned the Boston Airport Ruins map marker to the Boston Airport Ruins encounter zone.
This prevents them from linking to the Boston Airport Settlement's encounter zone.
This in turn prevents them from erroneously showing settlement stats.
I also used a script provided by Glitchfinder to reassign the settlement's fast travel mat to the settlement's map marker.
This has no impact on any gameplay in the area. It only prevents the map markers from showing settlement stats and the mat from being misassigned.
The Explanation
Map markers show settlement stats when they're linked to an encounter zone that is linked to a settlement.
Map markers that aren't manually assigned encounter zones automatically link to the encounter zone of the cell they're in.
The Prydwen & Boston Airport Ruins map markers do not have manually assigned encounter zones.
The cells they're in have the settlement's encounter zone, so they link themselves to the settlement's encounter zone.
This causes their map markers to show the settlement's stats.
The fast travel mat can assign itself to the wrong map marker because it randomly chooses a map marker linked to the settlement when initializing.
Other Notes
This mod can be installed mid-game and is ESL flagged.
This mod is highly compatible, it only touches the three map markers in the area and does not contain any cell records.
