Scrap large areas/items when building?

Just curious if there's a fast and easy way to delete/scrap large areas/buildings/etc that you've built? I have a giant 7 story building that I wanna redo and I really don't feel like scrapping each individual piece lol.

 

Bonus question:

 

What do you do with settlers who won't take commands? I mean besides shoot them in the face, which I would love to do, but I have this guy just standing there and he won't work the damn garden.

Not sure about clearing/scrapping large bits at a time. 7 stories? Damn! :pirate:

 

As far as NPCs doing things for the settlement, you sure you can't have them do something? Assign them to guard duty, scavenge table, man a shop table or something? I haven't come across an NPC that I could not assign a task. If for some reason you don't know what is:

 

1. Go into V / Build Mode

2. Hold the cursor over the NPC and their silhouette lights up

3. Below the wheel of build icons you should see a series of things to do with the NPC, a few include Go/Command, Supply Route which are the most important.

 

Supply Route can be assigned for that NPC to run from that settlement to another of your choosing. I'm not sure what that does in game terms though.

 

Go/Command is the act of assigning them to a specific assignment like having them man a Guard Post, Shop Table, Scavenge Table, etc. You either select the NPC first in Build Mode, then run over to the assignment in question then click on that to make that NPC take care of that. You can do it from the reverse also, select that item first then clicking on an NPC to make the assignment. Some of those things you build require an NPC to specifically be assigned to it or nobody uses it like the Scavenge Table, Shop Table.

 

I've had guys specifically assigned to a Guard Post and I equip them with better armor, equipment, ammo because they're the ones typically engaging trespassers first alongside the turrets.

Yeah I have two guys in this settlement so far, and one of them is going at it in the garden, but I try to assign the other guy and he just stands there. Can I not have more than one person gardening? I select different plants?

EDIT: Ha sorry I need to read things better.

 

Farm workers get auto assigned if anyone in the settlement are idling. I think someone posted that one settler can handle something like 3-6 food I forget it's actual number. So you assign them to a plant and they'll go around gathering from any plants until they reach their cap. eg: 1 settler can handle 5 mutfruits or 10 tatos or 3 gourds, 2 melons, 2 mutfrutits and 1 corn(assuming their total is 5).

 

 

For the buildings, you need to do it by hand. start from the top down. Maybe there will be a mod one day to reset the settlement and store all objects.

The only quick way to clear an area through console also clears everything else that can be scrapped. You can use the console command "workshopbudget" to scrap a whole settlement (food, crafting benches, defenses, and all). This won't remove the default static buildings, but will pick up or scrap everything that can be within the borders of the workshop. The problem however is that it scraps these things for a loss of resources, making it only a good idea for new settlements when you're far enough into the game that resources aren't much of a problem.
