Destructible settlements: Piles of Rubble

[stebbinsd]

Hey, you know what would be the absolute tits? If the environment was entirely destructible!

 

To an extent, I can understand why Bethesda doesn't want to put that in. The ability to destroy cell doors would mess up your game big-time.

 

But in custom settlements, everything is supposed to be a blank slate! Can't there be a mod that lets me use mini-nukes on existing settlements, and not only kill the settlers, but also reduce the infrastructure to piles of rubble?

 

If raider attacks can happen off-screen and my water pumps and crops will be in pieces the next time I come back, why can't the structures and furniture also be the destructible?

 

Anyone else second this request for such a mod?

I wouldn't say that's particularly possible with the game's engine, even if it is the modder would have to rebuild all the settlement objects with this feature

But it would be soooooooooo worth it!

I don't see why it wouldn't work, assuming it wasn't entirely physically simulated, then again, I don't usually make mods, myself.

I was able to make the entire sanctuary neighborhood destructible and repairable, but only to a certain extent... You can't really make debris, nor can you make much stages of objects being damaged (eg. if you damage one part of the object, it destroys the whole thing). It's a neat idea, and it is possible, but it would never look right...
