📋 About This Mod
Thicket Executions!
Add screenshots of your settlement, would love to see them!
The QuestOnly install if you have already drained the quarry. Unless you want to build there while it is flooded and don't have any intention on draining it.
Gives a short quest, like 5-10 minutes, that gives you ownership of the settlement. Defeat Thick! Get his special weapon, the Thickway Rifle! Also gain a new perk that pairs with this rifle. Find all three notes to get a bit of story as well as a mention of a new character in Op Salvo, Carter Mason.
The quest won't show up until/unless the quarry has been deflooded. Is that a word. idk
Also, Thick is a very high level. So... be the same lol. The area is also more hostile than usual too.
Followed up by Roadside Pines Motel Settlement Story 2 and then Atom Cats Settlement Story 3 after that.
The settlement is pretty large and fully functional. New settlers will show up there and everything. Note that there is one known bug/whatever, you can't place objects on the quarry blocks. Need to be starting on the ground, then go crazy from there.
Settlement features:
Custom vanilla style border wall
Should work while flooded or not flooded. See FAQ below.
Has plenty of dirt for food.
Has plenty of water sources for.... water.
Very high build area, the video doesn't go to the top, you can go further.
Large build budget.
Functional settlers.
Whatever other settlements have... the point is that it's just like it belongs in the base game and I made sure it acted like it too lol

What about Sim Settlements?
Fully compatible with Sim Settlements! Tons of build room and all that jazz.
WARNING!!!
If you decide to use this mod and have SS, you cannot ever remove this mod from your character or you will end up breaking future settlement addit
