📋 About This Mod

Note: Workshop attackers, generic hostile settlement actors and dead settlers should be cleaned by the game anyway. If not, blame Bugthesda. It's a bug in the game. Not every corpse  you can't scrap is a bug in Scrap Dead Things, I just decided to not include most actors which are cleaned by the game itself.

Hinweis: Angreifer auf Siedlungen, bestehende Gegner und tote Siedler sollten sowieso vom Game aufgeräumt werden. Wenn das mal nicht so ist, meldet euch bei Bugthesda, das ist ein Bug. Nicht jeder Leichnam, der sich nicht scrappen lässt, ist ein Fehler von Scrap Dead Things. Ich klammere bewusst die meisten Gegner aus, die vom Spiel sowieso aufgeräumt werden.

Scrap Dead Things V1. 70

All ash piles are cleaned by the game now on cell reset. You can still scrap them before. Bloat flies don't give Sysringer ammo anymore. Workaround added to prevent scrapping of living enemies. Some scrap recipes now have a check if the player is in combat. May not be failsafe. Automatron support added, install only one of the files. Affects robots in the Lair.

Alle Aschehaufen, die bis dann nicht gescrapt wurden, werden nun automatisch beim Zellenreset entsorgt.  Blähfliegen ergeben keine Muntion mehr für das Spritzengewehr. Workaround um zu verhindern, dass man lebende Feinde scrapt. Die betreffenden Rezepte checken ab, ob der Spieler im kampf ist, was nicht unbedingt fehelrfrei sein muss. Automatron hinzugefügt, nur eine Version davon nehmen. Betrifft die Robots im Lair.

Latest version online: You can scrap turret ash piles like the ones in Covenant and molerat exits. Letze Version: Scrappen von zerstörten Geschützen und Maulwurfsrattenausgängen möglich.

Now you can get rid of most of that annoying ashpiles, corpses and skeletons in your settlement.  Most animals, ghouls or corpses of evil enemies gives you fertilizer, bones and leather. Minutemen and settlers gives you marble, a material to build one of three gravestone types. You cn find them in Deco > Misc. -ash and goo piles -rad scorpions -radstags -molerats -all ghouls -mirelurks -static skeletons -loot corpses -dead settlers and traders(only loot bodies) -raiders and gunners(only loot bodies) -Minutemen(please don't scrap living Minutemen!) -brahmin corpse -the Sutton family(Taffngton Boathouse) -Covenant turrets and population -bloatflies -new: molerat exits -new: turret ash piles You can scrap some living actors like ghouls lurks and even Minutemen, please don't do it. I'm trying to find out how I can prevent this.

Jetzt kannst du auch die nervigen Aschehaufen, Plasmapfützen, Kadaver und Skelette verwerten, die deine schöne Sie
