📋 About This Mod

Move that workbench makes it possible to move the main workbench in all settlements where you want inside the green borders. Will work on absolutely all, even custom added settlements as long as they use the vanilla workshop.

Requires Automatron, FarHarbor and Contraption DLC's.

I often got annoyed by the workshop that just stood there not beeing able to move it at all, this hinders building some places and i decided to fix it. This mod is simple, it makes workshops in settlements movable.

Update 1. 5 BETA:

Bug fixes. Made it impossible to store the workbench Made everything change through a script instead of directly on the reference. Everything is applied on a Quest Alias now. The script also adds a lot to the Budget of each settlement ( default: 4000000 Tris, 40000 Draws ) No need for console or an extra esp to make this work

This means that It might will not be incompatible with mods that add budget via esp, the script will add the unumbers stated above to that value.

I have not gotten a chance to test all settlments yet, I simply do not have the time to do that.

I have more plans to extend the features I have added and add even more features, but I decided to release a simpler version first without the awsome stuff because the awsome features I am working on takes abit more time. F. A. Q                                                                                                           

what's the difference between using this mod over Movable workshop workbench by bro?

In the latest version I made use of Reference Aliases through a quest to apply a script, this means that I more or less do not apply anything directly to any vanilla item ingame, all is applied with a script realtime. This should also make it less troublesome to remove the mod if you wish it so. I also added an increase to building budget to all Settlements.

His mod modifies the workstation references on each location, i modify the main workstation container.

Also the bugs reported are not present in my version. I did not know there was one until after i made mine, so I made sure I did not have the same or else I would not have uploaded it.  Cell Reset bug? No, my mod does not alter worldspace, so cell reset should not be a problem, if you have it, it probably persist from another mod. [s
