User guide  (RTFM)

This mod can be installed and enabled at any time in any game before entering the Concord Museum.  It makes no changes to your game until you make a menu selection.

The earliest it will trigger is exiting the Vault 111 elevator. If you want to choose later you can do anything with the other factions and DLCs, even finish the main quest. If you enter the Concord Museum to progress When Freedom Calls before making a choice, the mod will notify you and stop. If OK to run, the menu of choices:

SHUTDOWN the mod.

Option: [ Give me full quest XP | I don't want any bogus quest XP ]

1.  Rescue the Concord Museum gang (When Freedom Calls)

1+2.  Make me Minutemen General (The First Step)

1+2+3.  Start the Castle Quest (Taking Independence)

I will choose later [ Misc: . SKK Fast Minutemen Activation Note ]

Quest XP Option

I prefer to earn my XP, but get that others like to level fast. If selected, no quest XP will be awarded for the quests auto completed by this mod. Of course it doesn't affect anything else.

(1) Rescue the gang from Concord

This automatically completes MQ102 Out Of time, MIN00 When Freedom Calls, and Starts MIN01 Sanctuary. Codsworth is enabled to be a companion. The museum is unlocked. Player has ownership of Sanctuary workshop, the gang are sandbox settlers. Preston is ready to have the "Join Minutemen" talk. Mod shuts down.

(2) Make me Minutemen General

Includes all of (1) plus MinRecruit00 The First Step is completed (you remember Corvega), MIN01 Sanctuary is completed (player still needs to build the happy making beds and stuff).  Player has ownership of Tenpines workshop. Preston is enabled to be a companion. Player is Minutemen general and given the support flare gun.  Mod shuts down.

(3) Start the Castle Quest

Includes all of (1) and (2). Usually the player needs Sanctuary plus 4 settlements with at least one settler each to start MIN02 Taking Independence. This mod safely convinces Preston the condition is met to offer the start the Castle attack dialogue. He will not be companionable until the job is done, but may vomit up some "another settlement needs your help" radiant offers because there is no stopping him without base game hackery.  This mod waits for MIN02 Taking Independence to finish then reduces the timer for MIN03 (Old Guns) to start from 70 hours
