Shielded Settlers

Original game is not well handling power armor for guard settlers. Shielded Settlers is allow settlers to craft their own power armor and defend your settlements and also I create a small mechanism that will easy to repair and customize their armor.

Features

1.Settler defense with power armor to player defined position.

2.Power armor repairing by their own.

3.Support all type of power armors, paintjobs and modifications.




Build Instruction

With perks Local Leader lv1 be able to craft:
(under the settlements editor menu Shielded Settlers)

Power Armor Platform
Platform for build, repair and upgrade power armor.
Requirements:
-Assign 1 settler.
-Connect to power.


Power Armor Tuner
Manage operations on all connected power armor platforms.
Requirements:
-Connect to power.


Power Armor Scanner
Place your power armor in the middle as template power armor. All platform power armor will be craft as same as template.
Requirements:
-Connect to power.

Guard Point
Defense position for settlers once they are set to guard mission. Usually 1 guard point for 1 settlers, but 1 guard point for n settlers is possible.



Control Instruction

Open connected terminal it will shows on menu (Power Armor Team Control):



For settlers action there are 3 mode:
(change mode effects all other shielded settlers in all settlements)

Off-Duty
Not wear power armor, they will do trivial things(at 8-19),  relax(at 19-24) and sleep(at 0-8).


Free-Patrol
Wear power armor,they will go wandering whole settlement.

Guard
Wear power armor, they will guard at position where the Guard Point is placed. And before they act, all Guard Points you placed in the current settlement will do an auto assignment to each shielded settlers in current settlement. (other settlements will not do Guard Point assignment)

For power armor there are 2 operations:

(Each platform must finish is own operation, otherwise it will block new coming operations. Once finished settler will go back their previous duty.)

Maintenance
Build or repair power armor as last template, settler will moving to platform to get started.

Upgrade
Rebuild power armor as scanned template, settler will moving to platform to get started.

Hints

You could use combo command. For example you want to all settlers out their power armor just select maintenance and set off-duty at the same time, after they finished they will be in off-duty mode.

Important Note

Do not try to equip of unequip any item while settler is in their power armor, if you do it will cause AI freeze, this bug is caused by original game settler not handle well and re-assign settler work will resume.
The best way is edit their inventory while they are not in power armor or put all items you want them use in inventory and let their AI equip items (combat or other situations).


Installation

1.Fallout 4 Script Extender is required.

2.Use NMM to do installation or copy files to folder ~Fallout 4\Data by manual installation.

Uninstallation

(Very Important)
Remove all Power Armor Platform and make sure no any settlers is in their power armor.


FAQ
I want to give weapon to settler, how should I do?
Just put weapon to their inventory and remove old one. Another way is tell them out power armor then edit inventory what every you want.

I'm already put Guard Point, why settler doesn't go?
All new placed Guard Points must be re-assignment through Set Guard Mission in terminal. Sometime AI will glitch or delayed, you could set to other mode or power armor operation to refresh AI. And sometime its Guard Point you placed at a bugged area cause settlement editor can not find Guard Point. ex spectacle island the area near the ship generators.

Can I put my power armor pieces to settler's power armor?
No, Only way to modify settler's power armor is through Power Armor Upgrade operation.

Can I enter settler's power armor?
No, you can't. It is design for player, all the power armor and all pieces are not available for player.

Why settlers in power armor always walk?
Because power armor have no battery, you need to give settlers fusion-core before they enter power armor.

I removed power armor platform and where is the fusion-core I gave to settler?
First npc doesn't consume fusion-core while in power armor, but it will be removed after fusion-core been destroyed by enemy. All user give items will  transfer to settlement's container when platform is removed, but sometime items will transfer to player if settlement's editor is not reachable.
