📋 About This Mod

UPDATE 2. 0: MASSIVE update which eliminates the risk of losing equipped armor pieces.  All Power Armor Frame variants can now be stored in the workshop, and will be converted to "clean" Power Armor Frames as they are stored.  No more scrapping and hoping for the best. -------------------------------------- OVERVIEW

I love Power Armor in Fallout 4.  Really, it's one of the most well done parts of the game.  Even if it may be a bit overpowered at times, the way the armor works is nearly flawless.  Unfortunately, you're somewhat limited in what you can do with said Power Armor. Use it or have your Companions use it, sure, but if you're like me you probably have 20+ spare Power Armor Frames just standing around your settlements, unused.  Why can't your Settlers hop in it and put it to use?  More than likely those frames are placed awkwardly, too, since the only way to move them is to get in them, move them, then get out.  Wouldn't it be nice if there was a way to fix all of this?

THE MOD

Turns out there is a way to fix this.  This mod makes Power Armor an item which can be interacted with while in Workshop mode.  Specifically, you can move it, store it, and even direct one of your Settlers to get in it.  No more unused frames cluttering up your settlements.  Move them around, put them to use, or just store them away for later re-deployment.

There's also one last feature worth mentioning: as an added bonus of being able to store them, this mod also allows you to convert all Power Armor Frames you have into empty/"clean" frames which are immune to the Cell Reset Bug.

DETAILS

Now chances are the above statement is enough to pique your interest.  If you want to get into the nitty-gritty though, here's the deal:

All Power Armor Frames can be stored in the workshop using the "store" option while in Workshop mode.  However, any Power Armor Frames which are not the "clean" variant (the one immune to the Cell Reset Bug) will be replaced with a "clean" version of the frame.  You can then deploy this converted frame for no cost (and no XP), effectively converting the frame into one that is immune to the Cell Reset Bug.

Settlers can be told to enter Power Armor by using the Assign option in the Workshop menu.  Simply select the Settler, target the Power Armor, and press the "Assign" button.  The Settler should run up to the Power Armor and enter it just like a companion would.  If you want them to get out of the Power Armor, simply talk to them and they will immediately exit the armor.

IMPORTANT NOTES/BUGS/LIMITATIONS

First, the conversion process is HIGHLY dependent on the included script.  Make sure that ConvertWorkshopItemOnStore.pex is in your Data/Scripts folder, or you will
