Prevent Settlers from Using Power Armor

[rusyn]

I'm becoming increasingly annoyed by settlers stealing my power armor, running off and getting themselves killed in it.

Should be simple, but I'm not familiar with how modding FO4 works. I hope to see someone smart implement this.

Also, I'm on Xbox One, so I hope it's compatible if and when this mod happens. :D

Would love to see this in a mod, but in the meantime, just remember to "take the keys out of the ignition" by snagging the power core when you get out.

[rusyn]

Do they even need one? I know I can tell my companion to use one that has no core and they won't have an issue.

Companions can get in a suit without a core but settlers won't as far I know. I have like 12 suits of power armor laying around because I am too lazy to make a place to store them and no one has hopped in one yet.

[rusyn]

Fair enough! Maybe this mod isn't needed. Thank you.

There are elevator mods that you can use to make a storage building which settlers won't use and you can safely store power armor there. Animated bridges also work.

I need the exact opposite. I need a mod to get the settlers into the power armours. They guard my treasures so they need to be prepared.

Remove the fusion core. No need for esp's, just remove the fusion core. Y'know, the standardised FC that was used by the military and some companies way back when. Yeah, if that's not in, settlers don't get in.

 

In short, remove the fusion core.

There's actually a new mod that will automatically remove the fusion core for you on exit. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/14773/?

Actually settlers WILL still get into a suit even without a core. It's supposedly less likely, but it still happens. Just had it happen with a suit of power armor I had on display inside a building... Sheffield spent the night in it (was looking for him, couldn't find him... then when it came time for him to get to work, I hear the power armor hissing and he is standing behind it....) and then shortly after that Mama Murphy jumped in the same suit, I told her to get out, she did, but then she got right back in. Ten times... finally when she got out I fired a Quantum Nuka zapper round in her face to put her down and got in the power armor myself (which then required me to put in a core because at no time did this suit actually have a core... nor did Mama Murphy in her inventory.)

So yes, this is a mod that most definitely could still be useful if someone can figure out how to do it. In a previous game I even had made Preston mad and he kept stealing my Sugar Bombs Power Armor out of the display case... and I kept having to steal the fusion core to get him out of it since he was mad at me and wouldn't actually talk to me other than to say "I hate you, raider ******!"
