buildable Ham Radio

[Lipox24]

Hello all and thanks for taking the time to consider this.

 

I was wondering if anyone could make a mod that allows you to build the Ham Radio as a placeable object for settlements. Preferably such that it could be placed on tables and the like. Maybe even with a different object that acts like a scavenging station so you can assign a settler to a desk with a ham radio. For PC preferably.

 

Been looking around for a way to build one but cant find a mod that allows it. Want to make my settlements look like they can communicate with one another.

 

Once again thanks for checking this out!

Hello,

You know, I was wondering once, how are settlers supposed to warn you, when their settlements get attacked. So it's a great idea to make the ham radio buildable. I don't have the knowledge to make it serve a real purpose however, maybe only something insignificant.

There are two options I can think of right now:

- give you the ability to assign one settler to the radio and only that person will use it

- or make it so settlers currently not working sit down randomly to the radio (and hopefully play the animation used at the radio at the Castle), the same way they use seats or workbenches. That means any settler can use it early in the morning or in the evening, before and after work.

Personally I find the second option more realistic, but it's your request. :smile: I can add both of course, the only trade-off is a more cluttered workshop menu.

The animation used at the Castle will require that the seat would be placed at the right distance from the radio. You might expect I'd resolve this, by making a radio-desk-seat set as a single placeable object, but there are probably some complications I can't solve. So you will need to pay attention to place the seat the right way. However that gives you the whole flexibility to choose whatever seat and desk you want.

Oh, and by "For PC preferably" you mean you play the game on PC? At first I thought you mean Player Character.

 

EDIT: Where do you want it in the workshop menu?
