Settlers stealing my power armour

Regardless of the male sole survivors background, its still bloody annoying to have to reload because some settler jumped into you fully pimped out power armour that had no fusion core loaded at the time and now you have to reload the game and make sure its out of reach.

1. I still don't get the problem, though. You can trade the actual PA pieces off them by just talking to them, so they're just left with the frame. Which they'll probably exit too within 24 hours, if they have a bed to sleep in. (Pro tip: don't use the double beds, to be on the safe side. Generally just one person at a time seems to actually sleep in them. Or assign just that peon to a single bed.)

 

Given how many frames there are in the game, I seriously don't see the problem if I have to trade the pieces off them, jump in another frame and wear the pieces there.

 

This is not FO3 or NV where the PA was a monolythic thing. Here it's a frame and some actual armour pieces that are worn on the frame. if you've got a cool Mk VI X-01 suit of armour, that means just a common frame with a bunch of X-01 pieces on it. Trade those pieces off the peasant and put them on another frame, and voila, you've got your X-01 power armour back and the peon has just an empty frame.

 

Why would you reload for that, seriously?

 

And even if you don't have another frame nearby, can't you afford to sleep for a day or two -- in which time your settlers gather materials and your shops make caps for you -- until that berk gets sleepy and gets out of the armour?

 

The only valid reason I see to need to reload is if Carla or some other trader jumped into one, since you can't tell those "give me my X-01 pieces back".

 

2. And if you're that attached to the frame, for whatever reason I don't have to comprehend, why do you need to leave your PA in the open anyway? You have a root cellar for example right in Sanctuary Hills, and neither the serfs nor the raiders go in there. Or in the castle, you have the basement. At Red Rocket, you have the cave under it. (Sure, it has molerats, but those don't steal your PA.) Etc.

 

The AI just isn't smart enough to go through a door into another cell, just to steal anything.

 

Go leave your PA in one of those places. Nobody will steal it from there.

 

There, problem solved :tongue:

@ Moraelin - I suppose it just irks me that I now have to go and remove all the pieces from the frame from the settler then wait 24+ hours for them to exit the frame. Maybe I'm just being too selfish? :blush: After all, I built them a new home, gave them all better weapons and gear, provided electricity, water and food... and THEY JUST KEEP ON TAKING!!!! :laugh:

 

The lack of boundaries is distressing :thumbsup:

Well, I get the idea that it would be nice if they didn't act like a herd of cats, and that it would be nice if you could tell them what to use and what is mine. (Though, again, personally I'd like to do the opposite and assign a guard to a PA when they're awake.)

 

What I wasn't understanding is just, well, reloading just for that :p
