    What is the id for the water tank? I Am using new California and it removes items at the ending and places them in a box, but when I got my items the water tank was gone.

    Dunno if anyone is watching this still, but anyone found a way to keep the stationary guards from messing your files up? And getting the patrols to not get stuck on walls and stuff.

      due to the logic involved into NPC spawning and navmesh the only way to prevent this is to make your fort extremely large and keep all buildings fairly apart from each other, anything in the middle of an obvious patrol path will get NPCs stuck.

      Sad thing is that in my current save I've started messing and testing with this mod and there's no way to restart a fort elsewhere... I've used the NCRCR and it's awful, the clutter with added NPCs and buildings destroys FPS and it tends to crash if I save the game within the fort limits and loads from Main Menu screen. Very inconvinient.

      also, avoid making your fort within cluttered spaces, do it in the middle of no where and you shall be fine.

      Biggest challenge for me as of current is to figure out some large plain area with at least one high ground portion as to position snipers early, whenever you do it within mountains or too irregular terrain the NPCs will behave strangely.

    I always make mine at the Brooks Tumbleweed Ranch. a good base building I can set my companions' home to, and with the RTS mod, i can bring in cool doors and stuff. plus, there's a barn nearby you can grab, and rocks and a ridge. PLUS, a corral for all your Brahmin, once you disable all the resource-intensive tumbleweeds(HATE THOSE THINGS)

    Don't Buy Towers, They are a waste of Time, Make them they take about 5 Mins each to make and it costs about 400 Caps for the Tower base (walls) and about 800 caps for the pallets for the floor,

    So all in all the first one will cost about 1200 Caps and a tower casts almost 3000 caps+ These towers easily Can be placed anywhere you want, On a slope on a hill Anywhere!

    I Like to have 2 story towers on the top a sniper with a Anti-Material sniper, Or a Springfield(classic fallout guns mod) and on the lower level have about 3 People with Either RPGs Or Tesla cannons

    Another thing to put on the top instead of a sniper, Is a person with a Grenade machine gun,I prefferably have two

    Ive been using the NCRCF Compound. My comp isnt the best so i opened the console targeted the junk and typed "disable" and that made a huge impact on performance. i also use RTS and Reactive NPC Ultimatum(or somthing) so i can build a jail and then enslave npc's to fight for me or use as cannon fodder lol. zombie apocalypse works well with this since they cant travel through navmeshed walls of the compound.

    1st way: Get the mod cheat terminal then just get the armor and weps.
    2nd: Find the enclave remant armor then fallout new vegas cheat terminal and duplicate it and done!
