📋 About This Mod
Settlers will no longer lollygag to the settlement bell when you call them. They will RUN.
For those of you that dont know what the bell is, go to resources, misc tabs in the workshop and there is a bell there. Build it and try it. (While you are there, you should also try the scavenger station, siren, and floormat).
This is a standalone version of the feature I created for my mod Better Settlers for people that choose not to use it. This is an extremely simple mod, and there should be no bugs, but if there is strangeness, please report and I will fix it.
If you dont know what lollygagging is, this should explain it pretty well:
