I have been using this mod for a few years now, and I have to say, I find it essential. Especially in settlements that don't have a lot of room, like hangmans alley This is honestly something that should have just been in the vanilla game, why these weren't included is anyone's guess. Thank you for making something the devs should have.
Since this is so old, it probably doesn't work anymore, but if it does, where would they actually be located at to build? I looked through every option I had, and did not see any stands anywhere. I had assumed they would either be in their own tab, the security (turrets) tab, or on an off chance, maybe shelves or walls? Either way, I went through every tab, and sub tab, ect., and no luck.
EDIT: Just noticed someone saying they were in the wooden floors sub tab? Okay, I'll go back and look there. I might have missed it, or it's no longer working. We'll see.
I almost always put the turrets on scaffoldings. Plus, not all opponents reached them. But they look so good on the walls of the Castle, for example, they can be built perfectly on such a wall. So I'll see if they still work well in the game. Thanks!
Great mod. It's a shame that they were not added to the default game considering you find these turret stands all throughout the Commonwealth.
One minor complaint is that you cannot place them fully on junk fences, i.e. there is a small gap between the stand and the fence. Perhaps someone with modding skills could make them snappable to junk fences to make them easier to place, preferably on the inner sections. That would be nice.
I don't always recommend specific mods when talking to other players, but when I do, this is one of them.
When the promised update to FO4 comes (out any time now, "they" say) this will probably be included. But I won't buy the update until it goes on sale for $10 or less, because (1) I learned my lesson with Skyrim SE and (2) I already have this and other great mods so I won't need FO4 SE (or whatever they call it).
I must have installed your mod as soon as I started playing this game, years ago. Because, for whatever reason, when I started playing again, I didn't have any turret stands. I obviously forgot to reinstall it during this new playthru. Without turret stands I thought my game was bugged, and was really upset. LOL
I have endorsed your mod, because to me it's just essential to have.
Awesome mod. Thanks very much! My only complaint is that I feel that it would be a little more convenient and intuitive if these were in the 'Defense' category in the workshop, instead of the wooden floors section. That way you can easily place both a stand and a turret, without having to scroll through a ton of stuff. But it was really simple to fix that myself in FO4Edit.
For anyone who's curious how to do it:
Open the esp in FO4Edit.
Look under Turretstands.esp -> Constructible Object -> TurretStand_co
Find the section called 'FNAM' and change the 'Keyword' value to WorkshopRecipeFilterResource03DefenseTurrets "Turrets" [KYWD:001DE915]
Save.
And that's it. Now the item will be in the 'Defense' category, under 'Turrets'.
Awesome, thanks for sharing, worked flawlessly ! Seeing the mod description, my 1st thought was also why aren't those stands somewhere under the Defense section...
Not directly related, but alternatively a thing I learned in fo4 modding to reduce the bugs is to do the thing in another order... Add all stands then add all turrets. It's a different cycle but it's good in xedit to reduce the megatons of jumping between trees.

Not a surprise, but still works with no issues 2024 (PRE 'Next-Gen' Ripoff... erm... update)
I also changed category 'cos I already have way too many things in wood/floors LOL
VERY happy with that addition to the game.
Thanks heaps for sharing!!
