Who brought a lathe to a bloody hospital?

Yet another settlement mod, casting Workbencho Expectromus
on select parking garages throughout the CW.

In case there aren't enough places to build at, with the game having been out for a year and a half (as of publication), here's another batch of workshops for general consumption. And where have the kind lathe-owners of the Old World decided to park their gear, I hear no-one ask? Well, fortunately enough, answers are out there. Or here. Just below this text.

  •  Kendall Hospital
       Somewhere above the Bloodbugs and the Bloatflies, a staunch red rock of civilization holds its eternal vigil. Shiny and (painted-over) chrome, it awaits for a Wanderer's touch to give it purpose once again. Oh, who am I kidding, it's a bloody worn-out piece of machinery that shouldn't be within spitting distance of a hospital, but is. Look about on the third floor. "Red rock of civilization", yeesh, I'd fire myself if it meant work'd get done, honest.

  •  Lynn Pier
       Ensnared in a decaying oasis lies an eternal reward, one nearly as old as the Sole Survivor. Forgotten by time, its all-seeing Eye protects it from those who would seek to plunder it from the briny depths. Or, without the cryptic mythical bullocks, it's in a meshed-off room in the sunken part of the parking garage. I didn't know what to do with the Eyebot there, so, I dunno, take a baseball bat to it, teach it to fly far and fast.


Nitty-Gritty

This spot's reserved (pun intended) for eventually turning most of the parking garages in the CW, and possibly beyond, into settlements. I wanted to push these first two out for feedback ASAP so I could carry any changes forward. That being said, Bethsoft apparently really really really likes putting parking garages on the intersection(s) of as many cells as possible, which can make things interesting (read: annoying). I like to think I did a decent job making everything play nice together, but with this being my first foray, I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye out for any hiccups while you're on the road. So far, nothing's been reported that a little bit of elbow grease can't solve.

Update (Nov. 11 '18) - Well, Nexus, you're lookin' good after all this time. Since I've been out of the game for a hot minute, I'm putting this into the public domain. Anyone who wants to use the modifications here (heaven forbid) is more than welcome to. The Free Parking icon is a different story, though. Check the Permissions for more info on what I mean and who you'll want to talk to.
This was made back when NMM was in Beta. I don't expect issues with Vortex, but I'm not holding my breath that every install will go perfectly, either.
 If you think you can bug hunt any of the problems in Free Parking, I'm more than willing to talk shop. Drop me a line here and we'll see where it goes. I have no problems accrediting for patches, or bringing others in as co-authors now that my GECK is gathering dust.

  • BlahBlahDEEBlahBlah - This wouldn't be possible without his settlement mod guide. Give 'em a hug if you see 'em. Or a kudos. Or some other sign of affection.
  • Tarsis31 - Original mentor and sounding board; while not directly involved in this mod, I wouldn't have gotten into modding without first playtesting his settlements.

Incompatibilities
On another note, this follows your standard Load Order rules, put it higher in your load order unless you have mods that change these cells,
in which case you put this after those. I had to steal KendallHospitalExt for literally one corner of the parking garage and VitalyPumphouseExt for Lynn's (pre)vis, but everything else (if memory serves) just touches standard Wildy entries.

This means you should load Free Parking after mods like Subway Runner or Beantown Interiors, if possible.
