Loot Collectors - Looting Settlers/Robots/Companion

[Darkersun]

I am a hoarder!

Everything I find must be taken back to a settlement. That is getting very exhausting (especial in true survival mode) and is like grinding.

 

So here is my mod idea and I have no idea if it is possible:

1) Clean a building/area from enemy's

2) Call/send some Settlers/Robots/Companion to loot that building/area

3) depending on who you send and how many, it will take some time to collect the junk/loot and take it back to the nearest settlement.

4) To make it immersive settlers will keep a share (robots don't care ;) )

 

So its not cheating, you still need to kill the enemy's and you need to have people/robots to do the job.

You go in first so, you can collect everything you need first.

 

It would make the game so much more fun for me. way less backtracking, but you still need to go to a settlement to get your stuff. And it helps with all that nice settlement building. Make it feel like a community effort and not 1 guy/girl doing it all alone ;)

 

Is it possible to do something like this?

Would anybody be interested in doing something like this?

I was thinking of the same thing. I like to build up my settlements, and I like to go around guns blazing. But the part where you have killed everyone and you are scrounging for aluminum cans and glitching your companion to pick up everything is not exactly what I call fun, running back and forth 3 times is not fun either. Sending out a caravan of sorts to loot places you have cleared would be so immersive and help a lot to bring down the boring stuff in this game. You could have to arm them with guards and weapons to minimize a risk of an attack by raiders and the like. There is so much potential here, I dunno why nobody has made something like it yet.

Yes this has much potential, but it also would be a lot of work.

But the idea to have them protected is great.

So you could do it yourself, hire mercs or make some settlers guards and equip them.

Than a random chance for Raiders/Mutants to attack, depending on the area and the loot.

 

That would make such a great mod. I need to learn modding ;)
