Pickle: Inspected.



So I'm a special boy who enjoys playing his games using ESDF instad of WASD (I am not alone! There are dozens of us!) and thanks to poor programming, certain keys aren't actually rebindable for this. I was hoping editing ControlMap_Custom.txt in the ini directory would help but alas that file is complete junk (aka it looks like a binary file which is weird for a .txt file) so I come here to ask...

Is there a way to actually rebind all of the keys in the game? E being hard coded to "pick up stuff" is the biggest problem. Thanks for the help!

Edit: I'd also rather not have to deal with an auto-hotkey script to make this work... but yes I realize that is an option.

Yes, with F4SE you can rebind all the keys IIRC.

There needs to be a mod that allows villagers to plunder the settlement's storage for weaponry, etc. Manually equipping the fuckers is getting pretty drat tedious. Also telling them what to do too ... it's like handholding a group of five year olds.

I think they can already do this if you leave the guns in a container (not the workshop storage, workbenches included). The trouble is that there's no "armory" function that will have them run to a specific spot to get gear, but it does conjure the image of a settlement with weapons stashed in random boxes and poo poo everywhere.

Earlier today I was testing out one of the faction-related combat NPC summon items and it turns out that NPCs will grab weapons out of the workbench, specifically the one that you can use to enter Workshop mode. Even first-gen synths know that Institute weapons are garbage and will swap for a real laser pistol if they see an opportunity. :v:

If you're editing the ini files and using MO you have to make sure to modify them through the MO interface, or at least that was the case when using MO for Skyrim. I haven't looked at the FO4 version yet.

it will run wild, becoming so hot it will melt it's way through anything, steel, concrete, the dirt, rock, all the way down baby, which is why I figure the core of the earth is uranium you know with iron around it, LOL, hypothetically (that is less than an idea that I have had) I'm not going down there to check. Then we would just argue that in the beginning of our solar system where there was uranium, gravity formed from having more mass, an it just grew. BAMF it's not magic, though I was a mechanic, not a scientist.

Is it possible to make a mod that turns Fo4 into a fortress survival game?

I want to build a fort and have waves of ghouls come in increasing numbers every night and build/defend til I get overrun.

Guessing it would take custom scripts and removing the building cap.

You can do this manually with the mod that was posted a while back (in the last 24 hours I believe). As for the building cap, there's a mod for that, but I believe it got (temporarily) removed because Nexusmods' database might've been compromised.

E: Basically what that mod did, was let you run some commands that would spawn X (you can specificy X yourself) NPCs with Y ID (you can specify Y yourself) on about 3-4 different spots outside Sanctuary and Castle, I believe those two were the only bases that are supported so far.

You could just run that one and give yourself X minutes of time to rebuild stuff before you spawn the next wave, where X is a higher amount than the last X.

If you want it all automated you'll probably have to wait until GECK I'm afraid.

Also, the settlement raiding mod looks pretty cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pp979Chjjo


Unfortunately it's not "organic" (you have to trigger raids via console at this point) and the only two locations he has available atm are The Castle and Sanctuary. Hopefully Spec. Island gets added soon cause I've built a fortress of an island, complete with skywalks and multiple strongholds. Would love to see it face off against a horde of enemies.

Right now you can remove the building cap AND spawn waves of enemies, but we will need proper scripting ability to make the enemies spawn only at night and in increasing waves.

There's no 5.56mm, 5mm, or 10mm keywords available nor can you currently make them, so unless you want a non-descriptive name those are going to have to wait until we get the F4CK.

I hope that name catches on.

This is the part when you try to stop me and I beat the hell out of you.
Just remember to keep your plugin.txt file in the Fallout 4 App Data folder read-only, so the game doesn't disable your mods. You'll have to reapply that change whenever you mess with your load order or activate a new mod, IIRC.

I'm using this mod in the "Trade-In" mode advertised on Very Hard, and I like it a lot. It allows you to scrap Legendary items you found for rare components like gold, nuclear material, etc. and then use them to build Legendary mods on other equipment. You still have to put the work in to find Legendary items, but you're able to build complete, matching sets with the enhancements you'd like. It's a nice upgrade on the Legendary Items system the game offers.

I dont use the NMM so what I did is just add them to my falloutplugins.txt. It is in users/username/appdate/local.fallout4 but there may be an easier way.Oh and set it to read only.
