Description

 

This mod adds a new Loot Collection Beacon item. Dropping it in a cleared location allows you to automatically loot all bodies, containers, plants and loose items.

 

Guide

 

After reaching a total of at least 20 settlers in all controlled settlements, a new NPC appears in the Diamond City marketplace named Brother Bob. Speaking with this NPC will allow you to receive one complementary Loot Collection Beacon for you to try out. Clear a location and drop the Beacon to use it. It is sorted as a Miscellaneous Object. The Beacon is most effective at facilitating looting when it is in the centre of an area. The Beacon will call a Scavenger who will allow you to select a controlled settlement to which the looted items will be delivered. When a Beacon is used but the player leaves an area before selecting a destination settlement or if a destination settlement is not chosen, all looted items will be automatically added to the player. Returning to Brother Bob will allow you to purchase additional Beacons.

 

Bugs

 

The looting mechanisms used by this mod to automatically loot whole ares is functionally the same as having your companion, for example, pick up items/harvest plants/loot containers. Because of some oversights by Bethesda, this can actually cause some scripts to not fire as presumably intended. For example, Bobbleheads and Magazines must be picked up by the player directly from the game world to fully elicit their effects. Having your companion pick up a Bobblehead then taking it from their inventory does not fully confer the same intended effect. This is the same case for this mod. You need to drop it on the ground and the pick it up again.

 

Support

 

Only items of the Vanilla game are fully supported. Items added by the DLCs or other mods will not be looted unless they are stored in bodies or containers. I do not own the DLCs.

Nice mod, being able to call settler for salvage sweep once you clear location. Thats how would it work in postapocalyptic society, collect anything that would be usefull. Brother Bob is even voiced, but it could use little more polishing. Mod doesnt affect liquified, dizintegrated or burned enemies, meaning you still have to collect stuff yourself. Voice of Brother Bob contain alot of static, so listening to him is kinda painfull. Its nice how you decided to make your own "merchant" instead of simply "you can craft it in ZZZ in section YYY" like most modders. Makes it more realistic to find person that offer service rather than having "miraculously" new recipe in some station.
