📋 About This Mod
TLDR; Placing down full buildings or creating a bed from cigarette wrappers isn't realistic or immersive anyway, so let's go all out and turn this into a proper tool. Workshop Mode becomes more like a creative tool, letting you move around freely and take advantage of tons of hotkeys to enhance your building experience.

You can use some features without MCM - but it is highly recommended due to the hotkey system it provides.

God Simulator
Workshop Plus will turn you into an invisible hand in the game world while you are in workshop mode. All of the options below can be turned off.
- Flight: You actually fly while in Workshop Mode, no tcl necessary. This means you can still interact with things over and over without having to toggle tcl on and off.
- Super Speed: You move incredibly fast while in Workshop Mode, to quickly get to the sections of the settlement you want to work on. Can be set to +50%, +100%, or +200%.
- Invulnerability: You won't take damage, or more importantly rads while in Workshop Mode - no more accidental death when working on your settlements.
- Invisibility: You will be completely ignored by NPCs while in Workshop Mode, so you can focus on your building. This also gives you the power to convert the game into full blown Tower Defense with the appropriate mods.
- Free Build: No more building materials required to build and bypasses perk requirements on workshop objects (they will still show the lock icon but can be built anyway). This option defaults to OFF because it prevents scrapping from returning resources which would be confusing.
