About This File
Description
Â
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.
Â
Guide
Â
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
Â
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.
Â
Support
Â
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.
