So I just had an attack on Red Rocket, where I had a suit of power armor standing around. It thought keeping the fusion cores in a separate container would be enough, well, it isn't.

Some "Farm Hand" ran to the drawer, grabbed a core, entered the suit, and not only couldn't I talk to her, after the attack she just disappeared.

So... keep your power armor even further away from settlers.
 
Best to keep cores on you, never in the same settlement as the settlers, they WILL steal your stuff if you don't.

Fusion cores must be kept in your inventory to be safe from the settlers. They can and will use anything in unlocked containers in your settlement. There is a mod that has locking containers on Nexus you can try.
 
There's also a mod called "Take Your Cores" which I use that automatically takes the fusion cores out and adds them to your inventory when you exit power armor.
 
I did an experiment once... I spawned 30 level 1 aliens due to boredom. I left the guns on the bodies.

I then spawned a legendary behemoth.

The settlers looted those aliens quicker than quick and that poor behemoth was reduced to goo in short order.
 
Well the problem is that the new VISITORS are doing it as well, and you can't tell them to get out again. And that they disappear, taking the armor with them.

I just moved the suit into a Basement Living basement. They won't get it in there.
 
I love basement living for exactly that purpose. Base game AI package is awesome
 
Wow... that is shocking that the base AI is competent enough to do all of that. I'll see what I can do to prevent it.

Is fixing this really in the scope of your mod Gath? I've seen this happen since early vanilla days and I believe there are a dozen or so mods that handle this behavior. It would be nice to get some PA themed stores and industrial plots down the road. A PA repair station would be cool.
 
There's at least two PA themed 2x2 commercial plots right now.
One of them is in the Sim Settlements core and the other is in an addon (Ice cream and power armor?)

I wouldn't be fixing it across the board, but I should be able to change the visitor records so they ignore power armor.

You could - but I suspect that players won't make a distinction between visitors from this mod, and vanilla/mod added visitors, that steal their power armor anyway.
 
If preventing it is impossible, maybe add a check when they despawn whenever they are in power armor, and if yes, make them exit?
And/Or give them just a bit of dialogue, so that they can be ordered to ext
 
or the power armor belches and the visitor disappears forever
