tommytomatoseed Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 So I have a rough understanding of how precombines work and have seen people say things like "open up a settlement in the creation kit and edit all the trash out manually and reload combines" or something like that, could I take all the trash in settlements and remove them from the general precombines and tie them only to eachother. Then say add a broom to each settlement by the workbench, activate it and remove all the trash at once. Keeps the vanilla flavor by not having random clean ass patches of wasteland, good for immersion. And allows you to realistically clean up settlements and it would be totally safe for precombines.....I think, but if i was that easy someone would probably have done it already right. is my understanding of precombines incorrect? Keep in mind I am not a modder and would basically teach myself the creation kit just to make this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Why not take a look at the other scrapping mods and open them up and see how they do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niston Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 There are mods like that, I've seen em. Although they didn't use a broom, but a chest. You scrap that, and all the trash is gone with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommytomatoseed Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) Thank you for the responses folks I appreciate the community chiming in to give me information, ill look into these chest mods and see how they did it, I want to keep all vanilla swappable items I just want to get rid of immovable trash piles without the drawbacks scrap everything. It seems most mods tackle the trash issue with a flamethrower, I dont need to get rid of the whole red rocket just all the squished cans and loose bricks ya know. And if I could make it safe for precombines in the process its a win. I have seen similar mods like clean and simple but I believe the author had mentioned they did it by breaking the precombines themselves. So I have a suspicion I dont fully understand how they work, thanks again for the responses gentlemen.

niston Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 This fine tutorial by SKK may guide you further: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/articles/2298 Read the section below "********* YOU CAN STOP HERE, OR "It details how to exclude specific objects (both scrappable and non-scrappable) from precombines.

Thanks again for the information folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
