Shameless Plug: Yagisan's Better Caravans

[Yagisan]

Yagisan's Better Caravans. It's awesome. Replace mooing brahmin with sleek, sexy, and just plain better robots.

Works great with my city plans. Works great without my city plans. Secure your settlements today!

 

[woodfuzzy]

That's nifty! Scary, weird, and disturbing but I like it! LOL!

 

[jsalemi]

Love it! Downloading now -- I'm VERY tired of the stupid brahman ending up inside houses, on roofs, and just plain in the way...

 

[jsalemi]

Love the mod -- my char was about level 28 when I installed it, so the regular caravan bots are alas invisible. Funny thing is, they still say hello to me as they go by...

 

[Yagisan]

For the regular caravans try this:
Find your provisioner.
Move the provisioner to another settlement.
After they leave the settlement, send them back
Reassign them as a provisioner.

 

[jsalemi]

All my provisioners are auto-assigned to the IDEK Logistics Stations; would that affect how this works?

 

[Yagisan]

I don't know. Please try it. However, as you are using the ILS, after they have been reassigned, please call a town meeting. If you see a logistics bot in the town meeting it worked.

Looks cool. Not quite logical (where does the Sole Survivor get the bots for his provisioners?) but worth it just to unclog doorways.

Red Rocket Fort Hagen of course. Thanks to the wonderful work of @mytigio and their IR plots. We also thank the Rust Devils for their contributions of many spare parts for Mr Handys.

I'll try it from RR or Sanctuary, since the ILS routes are short there. I'll let you know...

 

[jsalemi]

Didn't work -- if I move my cursor behind the provisioner, I can see the name of the bot and talk to it, but it's still invisible. I even tried the ILS option to reassign all the provisioners, and it didn't change anything.

Not a big deal, really, it's still worth it not to have "brahman rush hour" in some settlements.

 

[Yagisan]

Didn't work -- if I move my cursor behind the provisioner, I can see the name of the bot and talk to it, but it's still invisible.

That is a shame.

 

[jsalemi]

I'll be starting a new ILS supply line today in a settlement; I'll see if that provisioner has the bot, or if it's a general issue with ILS. I'll let you know.

 

[jsalemi]

I’m happy to report that new ILS supply lines get the visible bot.

 

[Yagisan]

I’m happy to report that new ILS supply lines get the visible bot.

That's awesome. Feel free to upload screenshots to the mod page. (That way I can also see your settlements too )

 

[jsalemi]

Yea, it's at the Castle, which I haven't setup beyond the ILS yet. Soon as I do I'll add screenshots...

 

[Brygo]

I'll give it a go...but if i end up with robots on my roof, robots in my bed, robots in the way...believe me, there will be words!

 

[jsalemi]

It gets more interesting -- suddenly, all my invisible ILS bots are now visible! I haven't added any mods, just updated the ones that have had recent updates. Maybe adding new ILS stations (I have added at least 3 new settlements) causes all the provisioners to reset, giving them their robot.

 

[Brygo]

Curious. are the bots immortal? do i have to worry about them being destroyed? I've never looked into that on vanilla or modded... Just ran across Lucas all by his lonesome & i wasn't sure if the packbot & guards are stuck somewhere & will arrive eventually or if they bought it on the trail.

 

[jsalemi]

I’ve seen Lucas by himself as well, while the other vendors still have their entourage. Not sure if it’s a sometime thing or a problem. I’ll have to keep an eye on him.
