📋 About This Mod
This is a set of invisible settlement markers that allows settlers to do something useful or funny. These markers are only visible while you are in the workshop mode. I tried to make them in a similar way as the awesome Akarnan`s Invisible Furniture. I included only those markers that I have not seen in other mods or that were necessary for my mod to work.
Markers include "Target Practice" set for settlers (Settlement Shooting Range, Melee Practice, Assignable Dancers and other things).
This mod has 2 versions now. The main version requires Contraptions DLC as it uses "firing targets" original models. There is an optional No DLC Version. Please Install only one version at a time.
Version 1. 7. 3 - Added a few minor fixes. Fixed efficient schedule II - start time C is now properly displayed. A few other small fixes including a fix for re-appearing marker (can't guarantee it helps, impossible to re-create the issue ).
Version 1. 7. 2 - Added 2 raid alarm speakers (misc section) and universal guard mat (furniture section). The speakers are used to mark a safe place to stay during an attack. All settlers that count for population apart from guards will gather around them. The universal guard mat is a guard post that works for any race ( humans, super mutants, robots etc).
Version 1. 7. 1 - Added one more customizable schedule, please check 'A1 Efficient Schedule' holotape. Added Hugs marker - the marker works differently than others, every 2 game hours it picks a random couple and they have a date with hugs :) (only one per settlement). Added photographer guard furniture. They look nice together - photographer and hugging settlers, just like they came to make a family photo.
Version 1. 7. 2 (requires Contraptions DLC) - main version.
Version 1. 6. 1 No DLC
Targets and Score Boxes.
Description:
1 Attraction Marker "Leisure area". The marker is used to create a relaxation point (some place that attracts settlers the same way as any settlement bar does). Settlers love to stay close to it in their free time. I[color=#f4f4f4
