Fallout 4 Creation Kit Options

[SubRosa]

Fallout 4 works a lot differently than FO3, so I created a new topic for using its Creation Kit.

In F4 all workbenches are also containers that you can store your crafting items in. All of the workbenches in a settlement share a single inventory. If you are creating your own home and have multiple workbenches, you can link all of their inventories by doing the following:


First you need a Workshop - by this I mean the crafting station/workbench that you use for settlement construction. You can create your own, or use an existing one if you want to tie your new workbenches to that particular settlement. Even if you are just building a player home and don't want to use it to create a full blown settlement, you still need the Workshop. In that case you can place the Workshop station under the ground, or someplace otherwise inaccessible if you want.

Next place your new Armor, Weapons, PA, etc... Workbenches.

Double click on each to open their Reference windows, and go to the "Linked Ref" tab.

Leave this open, and find your Workshop in the render window.

Return to your new workbench's Reference window, and in the blank field under Linked Ref right click, and in the box that pops up, click on New.

In here click on Select Ref In Render Window.

This gives you a red crosshair in the Render window. Use it to click on the Workshop.

That brings up a new window setting it as a Linked Ref. Look down in that window to the Keyword field. In it select

WorkshopItemKeyword.

Click on Ok to close that window. That takes you back to your Workbench Reference window. Click on Ok to close that.

Do the same with the rest of your workbenches.

Done. Now all of the workbenches will share the same inventory.

Since Khajiit was asking, to create new colors to use for character skins, hair, etc... just go to Miscellaneous -> ColorForm. Every color has an entry there.

Many use a Remapping Index option, which I don't quite understand. But you can change it to Raw Color, and just manually put in Red, Green, and Blue values there.

Ooh, I could have made Misa's hair a better red then?

I made a few updates. It appears that the DefaultEmptyTrigger box does indeed determine the area over which your workshop will work. I also found a few more keywords to put into your Location.

I am still trying to figure out how to make your custom settlement show up on the list for companions to be dismissed to. No luck so far.

The Automatron dlc adds a script that can be used to add new settlements to the list of those which companions can be dismissed to. It is activated by a quest. This is how they got the Mechanist's Lair to add to the list of vanilla settlements.

I duplicated the quest and added the script with the exact same parameters. Same with the Location. But still it does not work. *sigh*

There might be a different script or reference on the location itself. Check all the scripts and globals for the Mechanist's Lair itself (not just the quest) and see if you find anything that was referenced even slightly in that Papyrus is the only thing I could think of.

(that and verifying the new location name is exact in script/quest/cell info/etc. I had an accidental space in one spot that messed up my entire Inn rental = I looked right at it repeatedly and didn't see it. Sent my whole mod to Ghastley and he found the issue in seconds).
