Settlement overhaul

[SomethingCrazy]

Currently the settlements, settlers, and the way the are managed is quite bad at best. We really need some mods that atleast tweak some things here. Here's a few suggestions.

 

Supply lines sharing: As of now, the supply lines seem to only share the junk category (not sure if confirmed) and only(?) while in build mode (meaning you can't take them from a workshop.) This should be changed to simply share items within every category and able to access them via workshops too.

 

Supply line management: Recently I tried to fix my supply lines as they were everywhere and I couldn't tell what was connected to what, who was and wasn't connected, or where my provisioners were at a given time. It made it extremely frustrating to to fix them. Some sort of menu screen to see what settlements are connected where and being able to change the given route from said menu instead of either waiting or tracking the provisioner down.

 

Settlers names: We need something to rename settlers, give them a title(guard, farmer, shop owner), or at the very least, randomly generated names so we can tell who's who.

 

Assignments: We also really need some sort of way to better tell which settlers are assigned to what. The current glowing thing is just horrible. Maybe as mentioned above, just a simple title as a prefix or suffix from the name. Possibly even a menu to see who's doing what.

 

Friendly fire isn't: During several attacks on my settlements, I would accidentally either shoot a settler or they may be too close to a thrown explosive (or the may even run into the explosive/mine while a enemy steps on it) which would cause the entire settlement to attack me afterwards calling for me to reload my game. I suggest either making them straight up immune to the PC's attacks, ignore any damage they take (even fatalities), or turning friendly fire off during settlement attacks.

 

I realize these may be a little much without the creation kit and that most of these are asked for several times a day but I wanted to try and compile any mod idea's involving settlements in one place. Anything I missed or you feel like adding, just comment here.
