About this mod
My First Mod. Adds a large-ish Shelter to the Dust/Vanilla Game. Provides Repair, junk, weapons & armor, bar & doctor Vendors located in Understone. This mod will work fine without Dust installed, although the mod has notes and such which are aimed at Dust.

- Permissions and credits
This is my first mod ever, never had any prior experience of any kind with modding.
Sorry but, I wont be supporting this mod after release (I may in the future come back to it, but unlikely) I ran out of interest doing this mod but was determined to finish and release it.
If you're not using Dust already and are looking for a tougher, scarce, survival atmosphere i do recommend checking out Dust. :)

UPDATES!
02/06/15 - Update 1.2 - Fixes/Gives Dr Jones the options to cure your addiction (this should've been there in the first place, sorry).
Install 1.0 main file first, then Overwrite with 1.1 Update after & then overwrite again with 1.2 Update. Project Nevada Version users just install 1.1 main file and then the 1.2 update.
01/06/15 -PN - Cyberware Version (Both Versions): This version provides the 1.1 Update inside it, so you only need this file. It Enables Dr Jones to install implants (You will need the implant manual to enable Dr Jones to install implants). Dust Version: Removes the other Doctors locations in the 'I dream of electric sheep' Quest (Because Dust doesn't have doctors).
IMPORTANT! - Upon enabling the doctor to install implants via the manual he will (for some reason) aim at you he wont engage in combat, after a small amount of time he will holster and be normal again, so don't panic when he appears hostile. Also IF you find the manual before finding an implant
(starting the quest) the quest ('I dream of electric sheep') will still show the locations of the manuals (I believe the message that pops up upon finding the manual for the first time would complete the optional quest in 'I dream of electric sheep').
31/05/15 -Update 1.1 Fixes Dr Jones having no voice. Requires 1.0 main file first, then overwrite 1.1 update after
Again, I wont be supporting this mod after release (I may in the future come back to it, but unlikely) I ran out of interest doing this mod but was determined to finish and release it.
This Mod
In short this mod is an addon to Dust which provides a large-ish shelter & adds vendors to the game, aimed for use with Dust but can be used without the Dust mod.This mods main Intention is to provide Junk, Weapons & Armor, Food & Drink, Chems & Doctor Vendors to Dust. you can find these vendors around Understone. The idea is to get in, gear up and go, or to relax a bit from the hostile wastes... then go.
Features:
-4 Bodies around the mojave which have notes that give you an rough idea of the were understone is. (actual location image inside mod file)
-A Shelter from the hostile Wastes (actual location image inside mod file)
-6 vendors located somwhere in Understone
-A House which isn't occupied
-6 areas that I have left as the original modder (Saxxon91) designed it, Some are blocked off for people to add what they want there (the house is one of those 6)
Compatability
Works with Vanilla, If using Dust use the .esp Version
Important to note
-You may find the market, the resedential & Entertainment areas to be laggy i tried to remove things but it didn't seem to increase fps, but its not impossibly bad, again the idea of it is to just sell, buy, heal and go.
-Your first time exploring around understone you may get a bit lost particularly in the resedential area.
-There shouldn't be any garmmar errors on the notes, if there are, English is my first language, but im just an idiot lol
-I wont be supporting this mod after release (I may in the future come back to it, but unlikely) I ran out of interest doing this mod but was determined to finish and release it.

Backstory/lore (made up by me) for people who wonder about the Who, How, Why of Understone. Never thought about these things whilst modding so I apologies if it doesn't add up.
Understones place in the Dust World
The Shelter is not a place you'll just bump into, The people of Understone wish to keep the bad away and to do this the location has to be kept a secret. Because of the state of the Mojave they have to send out people (supply runners) to scavenge and find food, water, weapons, junk etc. (hopefully find a sustainable source of water/food etc.) anything that will be useful to them, as well looking for people in need of shelter.
History/Story (not something I've thought too deeply into)
Before the tunnelers, tribals and the environment hit the Wastes, Understone was a normal developing town . Still not to known to anyone, only to those who'd rarely passed by. As the years passed the tunnelers, Cannibals, Tribals and environment seeped into the Mojave, it became more and more dangerous to live topside, Supplies that were coming in had completely stopped, no food, no water, they had to start sending people out into the wastes to look for supplies, eventually they had a group equipped to finding supplies. Split into teams of 5, the teams would assign who finds what: Junk, Weapons & Armor, Medical supplies, Food & Water or Survivors. This method worked greatly as the people who stayed topside didn't really last long, so the food water and weapons weren't really being used up, though the amount of supply coming back wasn't enough. But after time passed and deal was made with another surviving settlement to exchange supplies and so a stable amount of supplies were coming in again(not as much supplies and not as often) and supply runners bringing stuff in, Understone was able to keep on surviving.
Spoilers:
Note locations: CottonWood Cove | Repcon Facility | Train Station (Around Repcon Museum) | South Cistern (south east from westside)
Understone Location: from the 188 follow the road heading to vegas, go to the first billboard on your left and go up the hill next to it
(will provide location in images)
