📋 About This Mod
About this mod:
Assignment Mode for Crew members, over 80 animated custom buildable invisible assignable objects, music player (Starfield, .wav, .mp3) and controllable work schedules.
Assignable Crew members:
You can assign any Crew member on your ship to any furniture and buildable Assignable object while in Assignment Mode which can be activated with "Ship Crew Assignments" in the Gameplay Options menu.
Over 80 animated custom buildable Assignables:
The mod turns any furniture assignable inside the Homeship (except the Pilot Seat) and also comes with a great variety of Assignable mats that are buildable in the Ship Decoration mode. Turn on the Assignment Mode in the Gameplay Options menu so they show up in the Decoration menu as buildable objects. Each Assignable has a linked animation (e.g. sweeping, push up, reading, examining console, etc.). Assignables are hidden by default while the Assignment Mode is inactive so that you don't have to see the metal door mats all the time.
(Note: the mesh and texture of Assignables were updated in v2. 2: arrows show the direction of animation marker).
Assignment Mode:
Integrated into the Gameplay Options menu. While active, Assignables are buildable and visible, and Crew members are assignable.
Starfield music player:
One of the buildable objects that come with this mod is not an Assignable but a Speaker. Once built, you can activate it to open the Audio Menu. Within the Audio Menu, several vanilla Starfield soundtracks can be played (e.g. faction music, Astral Lounge, Paradiso, ambient music, unique quest tracks, etc.).
Optional - Native Music Player:
The Native Music Player can play .wav and .mp3 files. This feature requires SFSE and the optional file "Native Music Player".
The default music library folder path is defined in ..\Starfield\Data\SFSE\Plugins\ShipWorkshopAssignments.ini.
sFolder01=.\Data\Sound\ShipWorkshopAssignments
You can create a custom INI "ShipWorkshopAssignmentsCustom.ini" which allows 5 additional folders.
Full folder paths are supported too, e.g. sFolder02=C:\Users\Username\Doc
