Settler Uniforms

[cjoshuav]

I was thinking how nice it would be if, when in workshop mode, you could see an icon over a settlers head to know what their current job assignment is (if any), or if they're unassigned.

I've been manually doing this by putting them in "uniforms" to match their jobs. (e.g. - if someone is unassigned I put them in a hard hat).

How hard would it be to write a mod that either:

1. Automatically places a settler in a specific uniform, depending on the job they have

or

2. Creates a dialogue option when speaking to a settler that results in them putting on the appropriate uniform?

sounds good.

 

I would like to know what settlers are doing. and also want to know what is up with unassigned beds. if you run around assigning them, it is easy forget who you put where.

The bed identification could probably be built into a mod that let you name your settlers. Then, when you moused over the bed, it could show you the name if the settler assigned to it.

I'd want to do that separately, though, since it's a little more invasive than simply changing an NPC's equipment and inventory.
