Very nice. If you're ever up for it, a version that keeps the hatchlings would be appreciated - or if you could show me what needs to be changed to achieve this, I'm not super good with script files, moreso Creation engine ones.
If you open the esp file in FO4Edit, you’ll see four entries in the Acti tab. For two of the Acti entries with '_Hatching' at the end of their EditorID, you just need to reattach the MirelurkHatchableScript script found in the vanilla Acti entries. However, I haven’t tested if the mod will work properly after making this change
Below, I’m sharing a link to a version fixed to work in Fallout London as well. Make sure to move the ESP lower in your load order to prevent the records in the ESP file from being overwritten by other mods. If this mod works well for you, please let me know in the comments. I’ll also post it on the Fallout London mod page.
What a clever little idea. I always thought all the different ways for Mirelurk babies to be born was weird. If a mirelurk queen can just shoot them out, what is the point of the nests at all?
What about preventing the mirelurk queen from spawning in Murkwater Construction Site after the first time she is killed? Every time I visit thar settlement she's inside attacking the settlers, pooping goo everywhere and it's extremely annoying
It is not related to this mod, and I believe a separate mod is needed for it. If there are no similar mods and it is feasible to implement, I may create and post it separately.
There are no similar mods, I already searched for it. Long time and annoying issue. It probably would need a script to turn the respawn off, since killing the Mirelurk Queen is required to unlock the Murkwater workshop. Tho some mods like Workshop Framework and SKK Workshop Utilities can also unlock the workshop.
The quest actually has a script that counts when you take or destroy the Mirelurk eggs, so since this mod involves taking the Mirelurk eggs, it should work just fine.
