📋 About This Mod
If I were living in the Fallout wasteland for real, this mod contains many of the things that I'd create using whatever materials and tools were handy. For instance the "Barrel Fireplace" is one of them. I've wondered why Fallout 4 didn't have something like that by default, but now you do.
This mod is basically that; a mish-mash collection of various cool things that I think the game needs while at the same time keeping it as "lore friendly" as I possibly can.
I'm an experienced modeler, but I'm new to modding for Fallout so if you come across any bugs let me know. I will be adding various other lore friendly objects to this mod over time so right now I have the Barrel Fireplace and shack pieces. You will find it in the main "Structures" menu of your workshop menu.
Just remember that this mod now requires Settlement Menu Manager to work correctly.
Possible future plansI was thinking of maybe adding my own custom "shack kit". Don't get me wrong, the default game's shacks are cool and I've since added a few additional pieces as others have, but I just think adding something new and cool looking to the game while remaining "lore friendly" would help in keeping things new
Update version 4. 4/19/2018
I was wanting to add many more items to version 4 of this mod, but "life things" has just drop kicked me in the head so I don't know how soon I'll be able to create the rest of the content. For that reason I wanted to go ahead and release what I have so far.
So what's new? My favorite part of this update is the new "shack power system" that utilizes some of the same aspects as the Vault Kit DLC. All the standard flat walls and half walls contain a conduit connect point on the inside and outside of the wall, located at dead center, for which I've added an exterior and interior fuse box to snap to. Once power is connected, all walls, floors, foundation and roof pieces will radiate power to light your entire shack thus eliminating the need for conduit connectors to dot your roof or painstakingly having to add conduit pipes all around your shack. All the standard conduit connectors will also snap to the walls in case you don't want to use the fuse boxes. Unfortunately this update will also require the Wasteland Workshop DLC to work
To update an existing shack, you may have to save and reload a few times, fast travel, or better yet go into workshop mode, grab the wall that the fuse box is connected to. Now move it out of the way, then tab out to cancel. It should update after that. Many tweaks were also done to help reduce the jittery behavior when snapping the curtains and floor/foundation pieces together.
