The Lair - Mechanist Blueprint
Close to Christmas it might be time for a little basic Institute themed blueprint for the Mechanist's Lair meant to be used as an internal player home. I used the main building area only so it should be compatible with the vanilla layout of the Mechanist's Lair.
In my game i´m using Jenncave's great Clean and Simple - Mechanist's Lair Startup which makes the lair also a full settlement, but it´s not required for the blueprint to work.
I did not decorate the building, it's fully up to you to use whatever you want to have a cozy home.
It should be save to use the scrapall console command before importing the blueprint. You need to scrap everything in the buildable area, this includes the robot pods under the control room as well as the ramp leading to the control room. Use Place Everywhere by TheLich using the "Extra Object Selection" function.
What you will get
- A 2 stories entryhall with room for power armor stations.
- A wide area on the middle floor for placing your crafting benches, mannequins or trophy shelves. Access to some refreshing water can be found here.
- An appartment on the upper floor which can be directly reached using the elevator.
All floors are connected by stairs, so companions can follow you. A single mounted power generator gives 60 power to the settlement.
Requirements
Obviously you will need Transfer Settlements by CDante. Installing automatically with your mod manager it will take slot 28.
1. Settlement Objects Expansion Pack by ccmads
The build is heavily based on the SOE Pack. Additionally the Water Rendering Depth Limit found under Miscellaneous Files is needed with 2 Stories depth selected
for the small water panes, just saying...
2. Craftable Institute Elevator by ccmads
Used for the direct access to the living area.
3. Homemaker - Expanded Settlements by NovaCoru
Used for two benches and foliage located in the mainhall.
Suggestions
CWSS Redux V3 by steve40 and Flipdeezy - Several small bathrooms are available waiting for some great showers, tubs and toilets. Included in V2
