After creating mods to add more guards at existing guard posts and a mod to create guard posts in more sensible locations I was asked, how about one at Outpost Zimonja? So I figured, how about almost all settlements? I for one am tired of my settlements getting raided when I'm busy exploring or chatting up Curie or Cait. Seriously, Cait, Curie and I were going to go on a picnic. 

Okay, romancing a synth aside, it's useful to have some one guarding your settlements. They are part of the Minutement faction and will attack enemies of that faction. So they contribute to your settlement defences. All of these guard posts are outside of he settlement zones so you can still build your settlement. The Minutemen guards do not add to your colony numbers so you don't have to have beds for them or feed them or provide them with water. You can't task them to do jobs either though. 

I didn't add these guard posts at Sanctuary or the Red Rocket because usually those two are found before you encounter the Minutemen so it would just be weird. Oh, and yeah, nothing at Costal Cottage or Murkwater because they're just too small to be effective settlements.

I also added a "hidden treasure" for you to find clues to and then go find. Plus a few other fun things to find like a hidden rest spot or two, or three. And I cleaned up the Greygarden house so you can use it as a player home. 

FAQ:

Q. Is it okay to add to the game at the start / end / some other time?
A. It is okay to add to a current game. I'd add it after you've rescued Preston Garvey and gotten to Sanctuary Hills, but you don't have to. 

Q. Does it break quests?
A. I'm fairly sure it dosn't.

Q. Will you make this mod with Railroad or BoS people at the checkpoints?
A. If there's demand for it, maybe.

Q. Does it break pre-combines?
A. Possibly, but it does not affect game play speed.

Q. I found an issue / floating object / something that needs fixing.
A. Great, please take a screen shot of it and let me know.

Q. Does ....
A. Hey, I'm just an autistic person from Australia who makes mods. I don't have all the answers. Extra changes are fee for service. This is not a joke. I'm tired of people whinging about stuff they can't do themselves and then demanding I make this change or do that and having a sense of entitlement about it. The mod is provided AS IS. I will fix bugs, and that is it. If you harass me for other stuff I WILL block you. No I will not make ESP files or do stuff about pre-combines. I tried in the past it was so stressful due to people nagging that I stopped making mods for months. Now I just make mods for me and publish them here if I feel like it. This means I will not modify my mod for people's whims unless they pay me for it, including paying me to spend time training up on how to do things. And seriously, all the people whinging about pre-combines, no, just no. I will not stuff around with that crap after spending days trying to learn this "simple" thing only for it to be too hard. Don't even ask, you will be blocked. Sorry for the bitterness, I need to focus on living my life for my enjoyment, not due to the pressure of others.

Q. Hey, I still want "this mod" to your mod and I have the technical know-how to make that change. Can I make the change to your mod for you and you release it here?
A. YES! By all means. If you want to mess with the pre-combines of make and ESP file for me, by all means I welcome that. I am happy to help others who are willing to put the effort in.

Q. I don't like your mod because .... / I want to tell you you're wrong!!! / I want to argue with you!
A. No problem, scroll on and download another mod. If you be rude, argumentative or disrespectful I'll just ban you from my mods then block you. Please just don't. I'm very autistic and can't handle conflict.

Q. Do people really ask you these questions?
A. You better believe it.
