Travel encounters are one of the most basic encounter types available in Fallout 4. You walk through an invisible box, and an NPC spawns near you. That NPC then approaches you or other portions of the encounter.

In terms of the random travel encounters this mod adds, you can find them listed below. Please be aware that minimum levels apply to both the player's current level and the location of the encounter, so high level locations may provide high level encounters to a low level player.
