If you find bugs in Conqueror preventing some of your Faction features from working, please report them on the SimSettlements.com forums. There, you can also request access to our developer Discord to gain assistance in building your Faction Packs!
Can someone please help me??? I cant for the life of me figure out how to work the toolkit. I just got it yesterday bc i got the creation kit finally. And im having trouble figuring out how to use the toolkit.
I plan on making a Faction Pack for Conqueror that'll add a faction I call "The Synth Empire". It's an imperialistic faction that is comprised mostly of Synths from all across post-apocalyptic America.
The Synth Empire was established by a former Institute scientist named Annabelle Curtis, though at the time it was known as the "Synth Union". Annabelle was exiled from the Institute for her belief that Synths were people and for regularly pushing back against the Director's wishes. She sought out Synths from all across the Commonwealth, using her own specially designed radio beacons - built near Sanctuary - to attract them like moths to a lantern. Coursers and interference from the Institute were dangerous and frequent, but Annabelle's leadership helped unite the Synths to ensure that they would always be ready to resist the Institute.
A month prior to the events of Fallout 4, Annabelle's idolized reputation with her Synths started to go to her head, and she would begin to dabble in establishing a government led by, and built for Synths. The end result was a democratic empire where Synths, humans, and Ghouls were all welcomed and treated fairly so long as they contributed to the Empire. Everyone in the empire would gladly follow the lead of their new empress.
Short term goals (features I plan to have added to the mod when I upload it to NexusMods):
* Play as the Warchief of the Synth Empire, campaigning to conquer the many settlements of the Commonwealth. * Unique settlement objects that are themed around the tech-savvy, imperialistic Synth Empire - including flags, a map of the Commonwealth, vendors, and signs. * Develop an increasingly diverse Empire composed of Synths from all across post-apocalyptic America by upgrading Annabelle's radio beacons over the course of your campaign across the Commonwealth. * Level 1 - Commonwealth Synths only (Reprogrammed Gen-2s, Gen 3 soldiers and citizens). * Level 2 - Summon Synths from the Capital Wasteland (Enclave Synths clad in Hellfire Power Armor). * Heroic recruit: Lieutenant Hyato - A former Enclave soldier who descends from a family of Japanese Americans that had major roles in the Enclave. During his time in the Enclave, Hyato grew up with a fascination with fire. His parents worked around this to teach him how to use fire responsibly. When Hyato's not melting his enemies with his Heavy Incinerator, he's working as one of the best cooks in post-apocalyptic America. * Level 3 - Summon Synths from the Mojave Wasteland (Synths from Caesar's Legion (what's left of it, anyways) - using melee weapons and spears with deadly efficiency). * Heroic recruit: Legate Stella - Held prisoner by the Legion after the first battle of Hoover Dam, Stella was the uncontested champion of the Legion's arena. Although she never knew who won the second battle of Hoover Dam, the Legion started to fall apart regardless once their leader - Caesar - had passed away. The Legion would crumble into smaller factions, each claiming to be the true Caesar's Legion. Stella, however, united the women who were treated unfairly in the Legion and declared their independence from the Legion, forming "Stella's Amazons". She strikes fear into even the most seasoned Raiders and Gunners with her unflinching ferocity and her deadly unique Assaultron Sword named "Themyscira". * Level 4 - Summon Synths from California (Synths from the NCR which specialize in long-range combat). * Heroic recruit: General Felix - A Robobrain with the body and weapons of a Sentry Bot, Felix is a master tactician, a deadly fighter, and a "certified smartass". He's never lost a battle during his time in the NCR, and was disappointed when denied a request to partake in the Battle of Hoover Dam. At some point, he grew bored of the NCR - thinking that he was too good for them, but he grew attached to some of his troops. When his troops wanted to go to Boston, he gladly went with them.
Long term goals (features I hope to implement later in time, hopefully with the help of more experienced modders that can work with me if my mod is a success):
* Side with the Synth Empire in the main story of Fallout 4. * Alternative to the Minutemen campaign. * If the Minutemen have retaken the Castle and you try to side with the Empire, you will be forced to side with either the Empire or the Minutemen, with the other faction being destroyed. * Develop an alliance with the Railroad. * When the Brotherhood attacks the Old North Church, the Empire comes to its defense, and the Railroad teams up with the Empire afterwards. * You will be enemies of the Brotherhood and the Institute. * At some point, Annabelle catches wind of the Brotherhood's plan to grab a Beryllium Agitator from Mass Fusion to activate Liberty Prime, and she sends you and an Imperial attack force to keep it out of the Brotherhood's hands. * The Beryllium Agitator will be used to power up a new teleportation device that will be used to raid the Institute in The Nuclear Option. Afterwards, the Agitator will be used to power up a special power generator that will provide power to most of the Commonwealth. * New companions. * DLC campaigns. * Far Harbor - If you share news of Acadia with Annabelle, she tasks you to set up an outpost in Far Harbor that'll be used for trading resources between Acadia and the Empire. * Nuka World - If you share news of the Nuka World raiders with Annabelle, she tasks you with the complete eradication of all raiders in Nuka World so that the Empire can take control of Nuka World and establish it as a center for trade. After all the raiders are dead (or if they're already dead when you tell Annabelle about the raiders), Annabelle develops an ambition to restore Nuka World to attract people from all across the Wasteland and restart the development of Nuka Cola - including a unique flavor of Nuka Cola called "Synth-a-Cola", which can heal crippled limbs and temporarily cure addictions.
I may even have more ideas for the Faction Pack in time. This'll be my first mod ever, and I hope to make it a good one. If you're interested, can you please PM me an invite to your Discord so that we can work on the Faction Pack together? :D
So I am able to go through the first steps of craeting the minutemen demo faction, but as soon as I try tampering with the 3rd tutorial, my faction just won't show up in the conqueror desk.
Im guessing it has to do with how its setup to work with the minutemen faction only, but nowhere in the tutorial I see instructions for adding your own, and being able to customize the NPCs (even though I already know how to do that, leveled lists and what not) , not sure what I'm missing here
Is there another Faction Form I can use that is not the MinutemenFaction form or what am I missing here?
So I did the first part like 3 times now and now it doesn't even show up as the base minutemen, but I found out (late btw, after the 3 tries, heh) that its actually an issue where only one faction pack is comming up, but I have other 4 installed, I have Forsaken,Gunner,BoS and Institute Recon, and in my tests sometimes only Forsaken shows up, sometimes only Forsaken and Institute Recon.. so I think my conqueror is having issues, not the faction packs im trying to create D:
Thanks for this. Going to give it a try. I'm a huge Enclave fan so that's the faction I'm going to attempt to implement. We'll see how it goes. Never modded before but, according to the description, that should be just fine.
Hello Kinggath I have a question .How i can change the armor or outfit of the raider recruits i dont want to create a new faction i want to edit the current raider recruits?

I updated that tutorial now, but anyone who already downloaded it might run into that issue.

Been a while since I had a look at the faction tut :( but most likely you missed a step somewhere.
lol more help there than here
"For I am the Daughter of Atom, sole survivor of Atom's Wrath exactly 77,000 days ago. The unworthy shall be cleansed!"
gonna leave this here and hope that someone (who, unlike me, can actually mod) gets the same idea as me.
