Transfer Settlements - Kingsport Lighthouse and Visitor Centre

---

 

Kingsport Lighthouse is transformed into a functional lighthouse-and-visitor-centre settlement that preserves its isolated coastal charm while supporting high settler count and food production. The main home serves as the shop hub, the dock as bunkhouses, and an outbuilding provides visitor bathroom facilities.

 

Details

• Repaired roof and expanded second level of the main home.
• Removed damaged dock sections, extended the dock, and added a fishing shack.
• Added outbuilding on the rocks for visitor washroom facilities.
• Cleaned up the lighthouse interior for sleeping accommodations and electric lighting.
• Placed a pallet in the docked fishing vessel for two extra bunks.
• Added a large Skyrim statue near the waterline (may explain the shipwrecks in the area).

 

Settlement Features

• 24 bunks.
• 100+ food.
• 485 defences.
• 260 power.
• 60 water.
• Tier 3 Medical, Restaurant, Clothing, and General Store.
• Dedicated gym area.
• Vault-Tec drink dispenser and slot machines.
• Working sinks and showers.
• Settlers can move throughout and even make use of the beds inside the lighthouse.
• Power mostly runs through conduits to minimise visible power lines.
• Cat and dog included in the build.
• No visual glitches observed from this build.

 

Requirements

• Homemaker. Primary build components for most of the settlement, decorations, furniture, and miscellaneous objects.
• Settlement Objects Expansion Pack. Fusion generators, railings, pool, foundation liners, cooking station, and water pumps.

 

Note. Transfer Settlements will not add items if the mods are missing. Mods listed below are not required but will remove associated elements.

 

Soft Requirements

• Craftable Working Sinks and Showers Redux. Working sinks and showers.
• PsBoss Statues from Skyrim. Skyrim styled statues for aesthetics.
• Advanced Bubble Turret Set (Realistic No Power version). Used within the main structure and lighthouse in case of respawns.
• Erotic Art. Frames and pictures used throughout.
• Working Fridges. Simple mod that adds working fridges, ice machines, and vending machines.

 

Nice to Have

• Armour and Weapon Keywords Community Resource. Additional types of workshops, namely power armour.
• Videos of the Wasteland. Working televisions and projectors.
• Invisible Furniture. Adds invisible markers that are used as idles for settlers and pets.
• Gruffydd's Signs and Posters. Billboards and signs.
• Crazy Sex Animations. Invisible mats that make settlers happy through masturbation, done without using the Advanced Animation Framework, and additionally places assignable gurneys that increase happiness.
• Sex Toys of the Commonwealth. Adds the random placement of sex toys throughout.
• Bad Dragon Dildos. Adds more extreme dildos throughout.
• Companion Ivy. If you happen to have Ivy as a companion, one of her broadcast towers will be added in an out of the way area.

 

Unrelated But Useful

• Place Everywhere. Allows you to make minor adjustments if necessary.
• Armour Rack Female Mannequin Fix. Fixes the armour rack to support alternate bodies like Fusion Girl.

 

Setup

 

Clearing the area can be quick. Still, save often just in case you accidentally scrap something important like the main home.

 

• Clear out the main home entirely of clutter and furniture. Additionally remove the damaged roof, and damaged wall leading to the narrow end.
• Clear out the contents of the fishing shack, and damaged portion of the dock. This includes the barrels and wooden frame.
• Remove the clutter, including rocks and shrubs from the surrounding area, including the red truck and the road beneath it. Be sure to maintain the rock face for the various cliffs.
• Move the large tree near the home. Push it beyond the boundaries of the build area using Place Everywhere.

 

If you are running Universal Craftable Working Sinks and Showers, you will not be able to scrap the tub. From the console:

• Select the tub.
• Disable
• MarkForDelete

 

Note. Disable first in case you selected the wrong object. In that case Enable will recover the object.

 

Build a Transfer Settlements console from Power > Miscellaneous on the road leading into the settlement at the edge of the build area.

 

Note. Import should be done with Workshop Mode enabled.

 

Tasks After Import

 

No additional requirements other than to confirm that all power has been restored as expected.

 

Notes on Imports

 

Transfer Settlements recommends leaving the area after import and to not return for 1-2 game days. However, I found that saving on site always crashes the game.

 

The easiest way to get away and save is to coc Vault111Ext from the console. Wait a couple of minutes before heading into the vault. Once you arrive at the bottom it is safe to save.

 

I recommend that you import/export Blueprints using Stable defaults. Using other methods has caused ladders, walls, and flooring to appear without collision. In many cases the collision effects are found elsewhere leading to interesting behaviours among the NPC population, and leading to a snap back effect as you push through an area and are forced back by the invisible wall.

 

Note. This blueprint was tested with Transfer Settlements working under Stable.

 

Lastly Import wired power connections should always be selected as part of the import process. It will reliably re-connect all wired connections. This saves you the trouble of linking up floors, turrets, and in some cases re-establish connections for hidden or buried runs.

 

Notes on Power and Performance

 

These blueprints utilize ambient fill lighting to provide a pervasive glow. I use Naked Bulbs to create a lived-in atmosphere for statues, fountains, and roof voids.

 

Warning for Dynamic Lighting Users

 

If you use mods that turn all lights into dynamic, shadow-casting sources, the sheer number of these bulbs will severely cripple your framerate. I strongly recommend using the Transfer Settlements Blueprint Editor to strip out all instances of 306F1 before importing.

 

Optimization for Complex Builds:

Because of the heavy use of conduits to reduce visible power lines, these settlements have high object counts. To steps below may improve performance.

• Enable Faux Power in the Workshop Framework's workbench settings.
• Use the Transfer Settlements Blueprint Editor to strip all conduits from the .json file.

This can reduce build complexity by up to 40% without losing the overall aesthetic of the settlement.

 

Note. I cannot guarantee the above will work.

 

A Special Thanks To

 

Thank you to Caladon for creating the template that makes blueprints installable.

 

Updates

 

Version 1.0.2

• Adjusted Erotic Art to work with my Classic Erotic Art Retexture.
• Double-up ceiling for a consistent look across my settlements.
• Added a tree to account for an idle that cannot be removed.
• Replaced the roof so it aligns properly.
