Scrap Zapper 2

Notice

This mod will no longer receive updates and is released as-is. I will not be providing further support or bug fixes. Thank you for your support!

Description

Shortly before the Great War, General Atomics International produced a prototype device, using an electromagnetic pulse, to clear battlefields after the messy business of nuclear war. During his time at Quincy, Sturges repurposed this device to automatically clear a settlement of scrap, loot and most workshop built objects. This device, called Scrap Zapper 2, can now be made in any workshop.

Sturges: This here doohickey is a scrap clearing machine. Old school. Pre-war. You'll like it!

Technical Details

Scrap Zapper 2 is a, mostly script based, automated, generic solution to clearing a settlement. All scrap is cleared and loot is put into the workshop. Most workshop built objects can also be scrapped or stored in the workshop. There is a Mod Configuration Menu to have some control over what is scrapped and complete control over workshop built objects.

Once you hit 'Zap All' the multithreaded scripts will run in background searching for everything to zap. Sanctuary takes about 16 seconds to clear, on my computer, but other settlements tend to be much faster. There are nearly 1200 scrap lists and workshop recipes included, each fire a thread which are managed over 16 thread scripts. An xEdit script was used to extract all these lists from the game data, during testing Scrap Zapper 2 was scrapping itself!

The advantage of having a generic and scripted solution is that it will work with most other mods. Even heavily modified games and new settlements should work. All vanilla and DLC assets are supported, custom assets won't be zapped unless a patch is created.

• []All settlements in the base game and DLC are supported and tested.

  []Mod Configuration Menu support.

  []Correctly returns scrap components to the workshop. The Scrapper perk is supported.

  []Containers contents are put into the workshop prior to scrapping.

  []Bobby pin boxes, caps stashes, traps and mines are all handled correctly. The pinging bear traps at National Park Visitor's Center are fun!

  []Bodies are stripped and disposed of. It was an added bonus as it fits my script technology well. Skeletons are not cleared as they are a prop and, in game terms, not a body.

  []Only two cell edits to fix a floating ladder at Outpost Zimonja and a floating generator in The Mechanist's Lair.

  []Minimal changes to base games scrap lists to fix problems and oversights.

  []No custom scrap lists.

  []No precombines broken.

  []ESP plugin flagged as an ESL, so it doesn't take a standard plugin slot.

  Requirements

  []F4SE. Scrap Zapper 2 is script based and not a F4
