Scavver faction RedRocket workshops

A Scavver faction owns and operates 4 new workshops at the fullsize Red Rockets (not the Dogmeat one), with patrols and outposts at the smaller RR locations.

This offers a new experience to figure out how to aquire a faction's resources, which happens to include new workshops. It is not a new workshop settlement build area solution for clean 'n tidy OCD perfectionists who want to build to the sky. If you already have that then stick with 'em.

If you enjoy exploring and figuring stuff out, skip the next bit which describes the faction, actors and workshops ...

Scavver Faction

The Scavver faction starts friendly to the player to help in any fights. Theft or murder crimes against Scavver members and stuff will set the temporary 24 game hour faction hostility like any other friendly/neutral factions.

Check the relationship state by dropping a scavver magazine on the ground.

Shootin' 'n lootin' to force ownership of Scavver workshops will obviously affect the faction relationship. With some legwork you may find an alternative path that avoids hostility, but if you are in a hurry or CBA with faction nonsense just shoot stuff up as per usual.

Scavver Actors

Scavver actors are a new levelNPC form and custom level lists which should not be affected by any other form based overhaul mods. The actors spawn leveled to the player when first loaded, with health calculated at around 100+5/player level which should be OK for most game balances.

The actors use scav related chatter and talking to them may well cough up interesting stuff if you have patience, but there is no tedious dialogue to arrow through. If you meet a scavenging patrol you can ask their route.

Scavvers do not respawn in workshop locations, if they loose ownership of a workshop the hostile way they will not trouble you again. Scavvers in non workshop outposts will respawn (see console settings) until the faction departs or disbands. If the faction looses ownership of all 4 main workshops in hostile circumstances, the Scavvers will probably leave the Commonwealth for a less difficult location. Maybe the Blue Ridge mountains of West Virginia.

Scavver actors have WorkshopNPC script so they can be settlers if you manage to ally with the Scavver faction. Using console/utilities to force recruit Scavvers before they are allied may deliver surprises, ho ho.
