Allow settlers to use Power Armor, but not enemies?

[GnatGoSplat]

I like to leave power armor sitting around for my settlers to use, but I've noticed enemies can steal them too. Is there any way to prevent enemies from stealing it, but still allowing settlers to use it? I've read removing the fusion core works, but then settlers won't use it. Would it work to remove fusion cores, but put one in each settler's inventory?

 

Will settlers autonomously use a power armor whose frame was stolen from raiders and thus has a "Steal" option when I use it?

You might consider this MOD. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the tip.

Although I finished the Minutemen ending and was able to answer my questions. Settlers will equip power armor without a fusion core if they have one in their inventory. So pulling fusion cores and putting them in settler's inventory is one way to allow settlers to use it, but prevent enemies from stealing it.

 

Although if a settler uses a power armor, they will leave the fusion core in the armor.
