📋 About This Mod

The Issue

Dogmeat/Companion is hurt and requires a Stimpak/Robot Repair Kit, but the objective is incorrect ("Repair your Companion" on Dogmeat) and (if you've both Dogmeat and a Companion) does not point the objective marker to the correct NPC.

You will most likely have both the mods Survival Options and Everyone's Best Friend, which has a conflict for the quest hc_manager.

This is a merged patch for those using both Survival Options and Everyone's Best Friend mods. It fixes up the "Heal/Repair your companion" question objectives and markers, and retains all of the Survival Globals.

Installation Note: Survival Options must be loaded BEFORE Everyone's Best Friend!
