📋 About This Mod
What is Vault 98 - Vault-Tec Workshop Redux?
Vault 98 - Vault-Tec Workshop Redux is a new and improved version of my old "Vault 98 - Vault-Tec Workshop" mod that lets you build a vault as big as you want, as you are provided with massive, optimized buildspaces. Vault 98 can be found in the center of Fairline Hill Estates, where the park used to be.
You will not be able to build any Vault related items until you have finished the Vault-Tec Workshop questline, see recommended mods at the bottom to enable them everywhere without doing the questline.
Load Vault 98 after Settlement Menu Manager
Due to the way the Vault 111 elevator is set up, you will need to clear the crates from the top of the elevator using the forklift next to it (pressing E on it just activates required scripts)
New features:
A more optimized cell (I have had to reduce the size of the cave, mainly from the right)
Shop-Tec, a Vault-Tec robotic system which is designed as a shopping interface for the vault dwellers (located in the Crafting Menu)
Several new consumables, all purchasable from Shop-Tec
A new settlement, Fairline Hill Estates, now you can set up a town around the vault's elevator (Vault 98 no longer has a map marker because of this, but this makes no difference to the settlement as you are unable to teleport into Vault 98 anyway)
A craftable static Electrolux based on vault concept art (located under Decor>Misc)
3 new craftable vault signs (located under Decor>Wall Decor>Misc)
A craftable 'Seal-N-Safe' gear door with door announcements (located under Structures>Door)
Vault Cola and vending machine (located under Decor>Misc)
Vault 98 subway station (accessible from the main building cave)
Vault 98 Subway P. A System
Vault jumpsuits, child jumpsuits, security armor, security helmets, lab coats and Pip-Boys are no longer located in respawning lockers, they are now obtained by purchasing them from Shop-Tec.
A load of new craftable items under Decorations > Vault98, including Confetti, Balloons, Banners, the Good Morning window seen in the Fallout 76 teaser, and more.
A fix for NPCs not pathing through the upper atrium doorway
An optional download for the blue vault walls, quarters wallpaper, and flooring as seen in the Fallout 76 teaser
A new huge cave (and smaller cave offshoots) for you to build your own vault in
The same gear door as seen in Vault 88 (so yes, it opens and closes)
Working radscanners
Loads of new textures
A pre-placed water pump (just like in Vault 88)
Settlers use Vault-related dia
