📋 About This Mod

Understone+ (DUST Settlement)

About:

Understone is a settlement located within a cave where people take refuge from the world above.  This mod takes the Understone ENHANCED mod and makes a few changes and fixes to the mod.  Note: This mod is meant to be used with DUST Survival Simulator.

Changes:

1. 5

-crawls up from under the rubble I've been informed that the user phreak3141 has actually updated the mod and fixed some issues that I could not explained in the sticky comment. Please give kudos to him for this update as this his work.

-New Update??  Yes but it's merely a small one, the repair bot was removed and now Old Ronnie can repair your gear.  The reason I changed this is because you can't edit the repair skill for protectrons, meaning their repair skill will only be 0 and you wouldn't be able to repair your gear, now that's changed.

-General optimizations to the interior cell. (NPCs shouldn't spawn in one spot now)

-Added two dogs, one outside and one inside.

-Changed some of the understone guards to not all wear the same armor and have the same weapons.

-Added another two guards outside with one running a larger patrol around the area.

-Added a mini quest to add a purifier to the settlement so that you can purify dirty water.

-Expanded the clinic area.

-Added an alternate start option when starting up a new character, just turn around and read the note on the box (NOTE: This alternate start option can be considered a bit OP as it's much easier to start here).

-Honestly, there were some other things I've added in there but I've completely forgotten about them, so expect there to be new NPCs that are possibly unfinished.

- Reworked Calvin's cigarette to ammo dialogue.  You can now trade cartons in and the ammo you get is a random value, based on how many packs/cartons you give him.

- Added Alex, who will give you caps for scrap electronics.

- Added a outside guard to protect the outer door of Understone.

- Fixed certain dialogue options.

- Small optimizations to Understone's interior cell.

- Removes the .esm dependencies on the Caravan, Classic, Mercenary, and Tribal packs.

- Fixes Calvin's dialogue where you were able to obtain unlimited ammo through certain dialogue options.

- Adds a few more unique NPCs that you can interact with through dialogue.
