@BigAndFlabby, I made a cool (cheat) tweak to this wonderful mod of yours. Sharing this tip here for others too....
In xEdit/EnderalSEEdit (Altar.esp > Worldspace > place Akropolis > Cell > Persistent > PlacedObject 3001BDC), I changed (right-click and ADD, accept the Warning) the NAME-BASE value of "Secure Chest" from: _00E_Camp_SecureChest "Secure Chest" [CONT:0002EDD7] to: _00E_Test_Container_PotionsAndPoison "Potions, Poisons, Edible books ... Yummy ..." [CONT:000465BC]
After saving this edited esp, and loading the game again, this updated mod now gives me a super (vanilla secret) chest that has lots of Potions (including the invaluable Ambrosia, yay!), poisons, food, books, etc.
And it is a secure chest (safe container; doesn't respawn), that I can (though I don't intend to) use as personal safe storage (I tried storing a cheap shoes in it, LOL, it remained safely stored till I pulled it out again and junked it).
Though the chest doesn't respawn, I can easily replenish the default items inside this super chest, by console command "resetinventory", after clicking/selecting the chest.
However, I should take my stored items from it first before resetting the chest's inventory, but I have other mods for that purpose, especially the fantastic Portable Mimic SE - Item Recycler (which retains unique-named items stored in it, and recycles non-unique junk items dumped into it) and Home in a Hat - Haven Bag ; both these nifty mods work perfectly well in Enderal SE without fixes or tweaks.
I know such tweaks are cheating, but hey, the Akropolis is a pocket dimension base for the player as a quick getaway and meditation zone (with no cost to the player for using it), so it is a cheat place by default as per game design. And this campfire mod make the Akropolis into a simple home home for rest and basic needs.
I also made another small tweak: I changed the ownership of the bedroll to: Player "Me" [NPC_:00000007] Upon sleeping on it, my player character will thence hopefully get the Well Rested bonus (or whatever is its equivalent in Enderal SE).
I am happy to send over this edited mod file (no change to BSA, only ESP was edited) if you would like to add it here as an alternative (cheat) version of your mod please.
Edit: I know we can use the super-cheat-mod AddItemMenu - Ultimate Mod Explorer, for getting any such vanilla potions, food, etc., with ease. But I like exploring treasure chests (who doesn't?!). And I felt the Akropolis needed to like a Place of Power (like in Witcher game series), where the player can meditate, rest, learn new abilities, heal wounds, cure diseases on self, and boost their powers in simple ways. There is the Akropolis by AnNaj (SE Conversion) overhaul mod for Enderal SE, which adds a lot of stuff to Akropolis, but I felt a simple yet very functional campsite would be preferable, hence my tweaks to this nice little campsite mod. Thanks for all your hard work and support!
Someone posted on another mod that Vortex may not activate the plugin correctly. After deploying in Vortex, launch the normal Enderal SE launcher and make sure the plugin is enabled there. This seems to be a bug with Vortex.
This is great! I know meditation is technically "in your mind," but I wouldn't be upset if there were an "Extended" version of this with crafting spots, at some point
I thought of crafting spots but there's just so not a lot of room and so many different workbenches. I thought of using something like Mentha's snow globe crafting does. Where you have a mini activator to fake it. But I just haven't played anymore and lack of mod development time has put it far far on the back burner of ideas.
maybe you should contact the creator of the original "Akropolis" mod and ask if you can use something of it. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1667144826
