Transfer Settlements - Bunker Hill Institute Uplink Station

A Transfer Settlements blueprint that aims to explain why there's a satellite structure hovering over the Bunker Hill monument. It spruces up Bunker Hill to create a more vibrant marketplace and upgrades a few key buildings. Additionally the roof area of the main building has an additional two levels of living spaces to increase population levels.

 

Details of the Build

• New structure has been built above the main building. It features two levels of living spaces, with a rooftop eating area and farm.
• Rebuilt the scaffolding to reach a new living space.
• Replaced the wooden structure near the main gates (opposite Kay's stall) to create a proper medical clinic. Features two surgery bays and a waiting area.
• Replaced the flop house and turned it into a combination barber shop and three-unit accommodations.
• Gutted out the inside of the main building and fixed up the damaged walls using a mixture of brick and retaining wall elements. The main space now houses every major shop, a singing settler and two dancers.
• Added turrets on remaining structures to increase defence.
• Added a small guard shack and armoury by the main entrance.

 

Note. This build assumes that Kessler handed you the settlement after the battle at Bunker Hill. Hence the trap door within the main structure is covered by a stage.

 

Key Statistics

• 35 bunks.
• 100+ food.
• 940+ defence.
• 540 power.
• 60+ water.
• Tier 3 Medical, Restaurant, Clothing, General, Armour, and Weapons stores.
• Dedicated gym area.
• Vault-Tec drink dispenser and slot machines.
• Working sinks and showers.
• Power mostly runs through conduits to minimise visible power lines.
• Cat and dog included in the build.

 

Note. Bunker Hill is notorious for glitches that lead to a Crash to Desktop (CTD) scenario. While this build has been stable for me in the past, some mods may make this build unstable.

 

Requirements

 

Downloadable Content

• Contraptions Workshop
• Vault-Tec Workshop
• Wasteland Workshop
• Far Harbour
• Enclave Remnants

 

Hard Requirements

• Transfer Settlements. To import this blueprint.
• Scrap Everything or an equivalent. To clear out the area as per Setup Instructions.
• 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. The following are not required but will remove associated elements.

 

Soft Requirements

• Craftable Working Sinks and Showers Redux. Working sinks and showers.
• Erotic Art. Frames and pictures used throughout.
• Working Fridges. Simple mod that adds working fridges, ice machines, and vending machines.
• Working Washer and Dryer (Immersive Laundry). Used for optional flooring overlay and a performing settler.
• Singing Settler. Player functional laundry machines and dryers with sound effects.
• Stripper Pole. Adds assignable stripper poles for dancers.

 

Nice to Have

• Armour and Weapon Keywords Community Resource. Additional types of workshops, namely power armour.
• Better Armory Mod. Great mod for creating an armory and displaying associated weapons.
• Standing Stones from Skyrim. Skyrim styled statues for aesthetics.
• 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.
• 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 is relatively straightforward:

• Clear out all clutter, brush, and trash.
• Remove all bunks and existing stands. New elements will be added in.
• Store any food elements, except for one corn plant. This will keep Kessler assigned to food.
• Gut out the inside of the main structure, internal walls, including the makeshift roof and back walls, and a wrought iron fence. Be sure to maintain the trader stand.
• Scrap the elevated structure to the right facing the Bunker Hill monument. Do not clear the junk walls.
• Scrap the bar area/flop house. Do not remove parts of the foundations along the wall area.
• Scrap the bridge leading to the wall. Stairs will be added to replace this feature.

 

A few elements cannot be scrapped normally, in this case you will need to do the following:

• Go into the console.
• Select the object (E.g., greeb on the roof).
• Disable
• MarkForDelete

 

Note. Disable first in case you selected the wrong object. In that case Enable will recover the object without consequence.

 

Build a Transfer Settlements console from Power > Miscellaneous  in front of the statue.

 

Note. Import should be done with Workshop Mode enabled.

 

Tasks After Import

 

Confirm that all power has been restored as expected.

 

The default characters cannot be assigned to new stores by default. Select the NPC from the console and AddKeyword WorkshopAllowCommand to assign them to their newly improved spaces.

 

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.

 

Thank you to PiCSeL for the magazine and painting retextures seen in the screenshots.

 

Updates

 

Version 1.0.1

• Switched to Immersive Laundry.
• Add shower facilities in the Barbershop, which was dropped when I moved away from Bring Your Own Pool.
