Solved Slaves - Do I need to discipline them to get them to work?

[Grim Experiments]

Lol, even though I would enjoy beating my slaves, this is more a question about a possible bug.

I have 2 slaves at my outpost, however I can only assign them to non-ss plots, i.e. Salvage Beacons desk and vanilla crops. I should be able to assign them to anything, right? Or at least SS agri plots? The slaves are vanilla characters, one being a random encounter and the other a tripped out gunner from Hallucigen.

Side question: Does anyone know if there are issues with resizing your character with setscale console command? I know there were issues with Skyrim and setscale, I'm not sure if they persist. Google doesn't have any info saying it does, but the absence of information.. blah blah blah. I forgot the adage, lol.

If anyone knows a fix please, let me know!

Slaves collared in the wild cannot be assigned to SS plots as they don't have the WorkshopNpcScripts attached to them. While they will use vanilla jobs there's a good chance they are not producing resources from them.
Sometimes you can get lucky and collar a settler and they can be assigned a job/plot, but it's best to think of them as just walking bombs.

The only thing I know about set scale on your character is it can mess up being able to access terminals. It could cause other problems but that's the only one I know about.

Ahhhhh! Makes perfect sense! At least I know it's not broken! Many thanks.

Yeah the setscale thing is... I suppose I'll just test it. That's what modding is about, right?!

Thanks again Phil.

Mod on nexus Any Terminal Any Height works well. Does delay and flicker sometimes. Not perfect but works.

MJC has a mod on the Nexus (maybe elsewhere too) that adds spawning cages for working slaves. They do actual work. Of course can only send to outposts with slaves, not regular vassals.

D'oh! I didn't even think of mod. I'll check it out. Thanks.

That's basically what the POW plot does.

 

[Grim Experiments]

@MisterKen I have seen that one, thanks. I was mostly concerned about it being bugged but now I think I could do with an army of slaves. Breaker of chains? Lol, nope.

 

[MisterKen]

It comes with another cage to spawn Forged, but they don't have the new Phase 2 mechanics so you they aren't manageable per se.

This is default plot? Or is this someone else's pack?

 

[Phil_T_Casual]

Default, it's a martial plot.
At L3, when your outpost/vassal gets attacked you will get 3 captives shortly after. They can be put to work and sent to any outpost.

 

[Grim Experiments]

Thanks I'll take a look.
