Settlement AI

[totalhavok]

Using the gathering AI from the bell/siren, it may be possible to place an object that behaves like an automated bell/siren that silently goes off at a set time to move settlers to certain areas at specific times. This could be the start to a mod that adds AI to settlements that have meetings, parties etc. at different times throughout the day. More sophisticated behaviour would require F4SE, but it seems technically feasable, and would bring alot of life to settlements.

Settlers go near the stores that you place at the settlement when the day is almost over as if they are relaxing after farming all day.

Any improvement to the AI, to me, would be welcome. Most of my settlers spend much of their time on rooftops with no way of getting down on their own. I would like to see them group or use other places in the settlement and not just the food stand after they get off "work".

yeah when I saw one of my settlers on the roof, specifically the part of the roof I'd walled off to keep people off of I went slightly mad.

I've noticed it seems to have gotten worse with Far Harbor. I'll get entire settlements who all of a sudden can't find their beds because they can't recognize the barn stairs, or a third floor. I know it should work though because the first two settlers made it up there with no problems right after I built it. The good thing is it hasn't affected the happiness level. It is maddening though.

so that's why my settlers don't sleep. I built a hotel building and put all their beds on the second floor upward.

Yeah I use snap n build mod and any fancy buildings I make the settlers just stand on the ladder or stairs into the building all night instead of actually going in there and sleeping. We probably won't get a really good AI fix mod until all the DLCs come out and the unofficial patch guys get a chance to fix things. They said that they are waiting for everything to come out and the cell reset bug to be fixed before they get any further into fixing things.

Good call.

Yeah i hope the AI can be fixed, i built beds inside a concrete house, but instead of using the door way, they are trying to walk through the walls where the beds are... -_- and stand around because they aren't smart enough to recognize the doorway on the other side of the house...
