BUILD ENCLAVE BUNKERS NOW

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Brief Intro: You know what I hate? Concrete. Lots and lots of concrete. Concrete for every single bunker in Fallout 4. So you know what I did about that? I recreated the ECV pieces from the other games for players to use in their mods. To hell with your concrete!! When life gives you concrete, make life take the concrete back!! Get mad!! I don’t want your concrete bunkers!! It all looks the same!! Demand to see life’s manager!! Make life rue the day it gave you concrete bunkers!!



What was I talking about again?  

Important!! (You should always read the stuff next to the word important!!)
The ECV Construction Kit is a mixture of SCOLs (Static Collections) that I created for the sole purpose of aiding in the design of simplistic Enclave Themed Bunkers. As some of you know, ECV pieces, this to say pieces with the prefix ECV, for Enclave Themed Bunkers, were included in Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas, but not Fallout 4. They do not exist in the current game rendition; thus they must be synthesized artificially with existing pieces. This, I did, on my end. For those of you wanting to design simple bunkers, just download the smaller file. You can either recreate the SCOLs on your end, thus saving on the large ass download, or alternatively you can go to the World Cell where I built the segments and simply SCOL what you want in order to build what
you want. Either method will suit you just fine. However, for those wanting to build vast Enclave Bunkers… you will unfortunately have a much more “lengthy” process ahead of you. As some of you might already know, my 64 bit computer has never been able to properly install all of the editing software needed to flatten 3d meshes. If you intend to create vast Enclave bunkers, the existing SCOLs all need to be flattened so that they consume significantly less hard-drive space for export. This means that you will need to edit the provided meshes on your end in order to use them in any sort of massive capacity. So, for those in the secondary category… you need to download the massive file.

Requirements: Fallout 4 ESM

Notes from Author: All of the provided pieces have been designed artistically to have marble backdrops behind them. Almost everything should fit together
more or less perfectly, though I do admit some design errors were committed during the premiere build phase, but I am certain that they have all been corrected for this release. Everything has been designed to mirror the original Enclave themes, including hydraulic shock suspensions built into the structures. Artistically, I favor the orange and black theme, but you can alter the texture skins before de-SCOLing in the Extra Chad of the Reference Window for the SCOL. Some… of the unique details for ECV bunkers important to the Fallout Franchise are not released in this kit. They will instead be released in the final variant of Project RRR. This isn’t me attempting to pad my downloads. Instead, this has A LOT to do with all of the custom design work needed for Project RRR’s interiors. Namely, the ECV Vertibird Hangars. This kit comes with a modular hangar design, but the hangars for RRR will be completely custom. I also didn’t include the ZAX chamber in this modular release. There are also some artistic design decisions that you need to be aware of. If you want to roll with traditional ECV black then when you drop in the SCOL, double click it to open the reference box, move to the Extra Chad, and from here you can select one Material Swap to be applied to the SCOL. MachineKitBlack will retexture all of the Truss Pieces too traditional ECV Black from Default Orange. If you want to re-texture the catwalks from default blue to something more… authoritarian, I recommend either DN017_rusty, or Indbeamtohitmetal. Artistically, ECV Government vaults were always meant to bethe USSA equivalent of strategic stockpiles and military safe-houses. Unlike vaults, which were commercially designed and built under varying soil types, ECV vaults were built almost entirely under stone, typically either granite or marble. The design philosophy is also totally different. Unlike Vault Tec instillation's which are mostly designed to be self-contained ecological
instillation's, ECV bunkers are built into their excavated areas and are retrofitted to survive the absolute worst nuclear bombardment. Vaults, despite their sales pitches, were never intended to take multiple direct hits right on top of them without potentially collapsing. ECV bunkers on the other hand were extensively planned and constructed to take surface nuclear bombardment and emerge from the war mostly intact. 

Re-creating the SCOLs on your end: Once again, you DO NOT need to download the meshes unless you intend to do something to them in Blender. In order to recreate the SCOL meshes on your end do as I outline right now. Search for the ECV pieces in the object window using: JCECV. Double Click the one you want to use, now tap "recreate the nif from data." That's it, done. You will now have a copy on your end of that particular piece. Do this for every piece you want to use.


Terms: You may use my content however you wish, but you must credit me for the base design work. A link to this mod’s release page is not necessary. Just put my name in your release credits as a contributor. This applies to any solo Enclave interior mods using the existing SCOLs, or any released mods where my design work has been altered/Flattened for other purposes. I am not ignorant to the reality of this files usage. I know that someone will want to flatten these pieces for their own design mods. Go for it… just mention me in your credits and we are cool.
