Scavengers. Right? My home base has eight chicks all running around picking up junk items and crafting components for me.
So, as I return from another trek through the wasteland, carrying four hundred pounds of pre-war clutter and enough chems to put diamond city in a coma, one of my full-time scavengers proudly showed me the piece of glass and the tin can she had scavenged during her ten hour work day.
Anyways. This mod changes the amount of items scavengers bring back every day. Instead of a couple of items, with 25% chance of nothing, scavengers will now search through a house, a campsite, or a ruin (simulated searching, they still just stand around) and will bring back larger amounts of supplies.
The scavengers now bring back three handfuls of basic crafting materials, and have a chance of bringing back junk items. Each junk item has a percentage chance of being found, and at the most, they can bring back approximately one backpack worth of items; two large items, (fans, gas cans, typewriters, and such) and five small items like hairbrush, cigarette pack, duct tape, or cutlery. Additionally, scavengers may pick up a healing item, (25% chance) or pick up any wild plants they might find on their way.
The mod is tested with uncapped settlement surplus ( http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12430/? ) and doesn't appear to break anything other than game balance.
Only bug I've found so far is that the game calculates the levelled list once and multiplies the result by the number of scavengers in a settlement, instead of calculating for each scavenger individually.
The mod only modifies the "WorkshopProduceScavenge" leveled list, and should be compatible with all mods as long as they don't also edit this list.
I do not have the patience to make multiple versions with different loot levels, as I made this mod for myself and simply share it here in case anybody else wants it. If a mod with less scavenge is wanted,I can recommend More Productive Scavengers ( http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17987 ).
