Minutemen (Radiant) Squads

Ever wondered why you are supposed to rebuild society AND to deal with minor settlement issues, while your soldiers are just hanging out drinking Nuka-Cola all day long? Well I did. Wake up soldier, your General got some orders for you!

What does this mod do?

Shortly after you become the General, a quest will start that introduces you to "Master Sergeant Hartfield". Just make sure not to be in Sanctuary or the quest won't trigger. MSG. Hartfield allows you to recruit squads or settlers and gives you a command holotape.

Using this holotape, you can assign the squads to Prestons radiant quests (unlocking the settlement if it was unowned), defend settlements (the Pip-Boy defend missions) or to scavenge for resources if there is nothing up.

By talking to the Squadleader of any given squad you can also command them to follow you, recruit new soldiers if one of them died or to promote them.

Minutemen Squads:

Once recruited you can assign them to a radiant quest, defend settlement quest or for a scavenge mission. It will take some time as they have to walk to the mission destination and hang around there for 3-6 ingame hours. If you are trying to pass the time with "wait" or "sleep" it might take a little bit longer(not intended, it's how it is). If they got nothing to do, they will return to HQ and sandbox there. They do not count towards the settler count and can be traded with. If you are ever wondering what they are doing right now, check the SITREP. They are stationed in Sanctuary if you did not assault The Castle yet or in The Castle if you took it back. The resources from their scavenge hunts are stored in a crate next to the workshop.

Settlers:

Pretty straight forward. Recruit them and assign them to any settlement right away. Unlike vanilla Minutemen settlers, they can be moved to any other settlement if you like. Regular and Minutemen Settlers spawned by this mod do not count towards the population cap.

Installation

Just download it via Vortex or manually and put it into your Fallout 4 Data folder. That's it.

Compatibility

Propably incompatible with any mod that edits Minutemen quests. Should work with any Minutemen replace or overhaul unless they alter vanilla quest entries. However, I actually do not recommend any mod reducing the amount of radiant quests as you will end up only sending your squads to scavenge missions.

Troubleshooting

If you are using a replacement mod, make sure to use it before calling in your first squad. Otherwise their vanilla gear will already be
