Settler supply chest

[swmeek]

Something I think that would be neat would be a supply chest that you could set down in a settlement and throw any random loot or custom made weapons/armor into.

Any settlers that arrive in your settlements could then exchange their old stuff for better weapons and or armor.

It would also be neat to assign a npc or a follower to a weapon or armor crafting station to make items to add to that chest provided there was a way to train that person to craft higher tier armaments.

I will second this, was thinking almost the exact same thing. Would be neato

I'd rather not just one big chest, but specific chests for specific items.

 

Like weapon racks for picking up weapons

Wardrobes for donning armor

 

Make only Guards pick up weapons and armor

Allow other Settlers to pick up food, clothes, etc.

Maybe a Security weapon rack for pistols and batons

I second this idea, too. I was thinking of a "Donation wardrobe/shop/vending machine".

 

My problem is, that I've developed my fat cat business from

looting places and selling stuff -> farming fruits -> cooking drugs -> purifying water -> running highly automated death camps (30+ cages & 400+ manual switched firepower), which means, every 48 hours in-game time I have tons of armor and weapons and I'm tired to rename them with "SH/SC/SAL/SAR/SLL/SLR" (Settler Head,Chest, Arm left/right, Leg left/right AND "S 168 SG short" = "Setter 168 Damage short-barrelled shotgun" or "S 044 10mm short" = "Settler 44 Damage 10 mm pistol") and to assign them to my settler in exchange for their current stuff provisioned by me before.

 

Desired solution:

A "Donation wardrobe" shop run by a settler, where I can "sell" my stuff - which I'd like to give to my settlers - for "0 caps" each. The stuff will be renamed automatically in there and then - THE MAIN CLUE - every settler will visit this shop as soon as he/she can and changes his/her stuff for better versions and/or the best still available.

 

Best solution:

Every settler takes at least 1 item of any kind like clothes, armor, stim packs, ammo, grenades, short weapons, distance weapons, melee weapons and so on. That way the inventory of the "Donation wardrobe" is spread among all evenly. Exchanged things of settlers will also be renamed and exchanged for lower valued items of other settlers. That way pipe pistols and low protecting Raider armor should pile up there very quickly. Once all settlers are upgraded for that day, I'd like to #1 empty the "Donation wardrobe", #2 recyle it for materials and #3 refill it manually with brand new stuff from the death camp.

 

Alternative graphics solution:

An electrified wooden wardrobe or metal vending machince which is connected to a terminal and can be operated/configured like a production machine.

 

Thanx in advance to the modder who accepts this challenge!
