Mining Copper

[Kash]

Is there a way to automate the characters to pick up the mined ore and place it into inventory or backpack?

[Shidan]

No, unfortunately not. They will automatically store it in a copper ore storage box if one is nearby though.

A mod like this one can be really helpful for this because it allows you to build ore storage to automate mining without creating an outpost and triggering raids.

This one works a little differently but achieves a similar result. It makes it so that building storage will create an outpost, but very small outposts won't get raided.

Cheers for posting these mods silent..

Been meaning to play again an now finally got the urge today after getting hooked watching a shek let splay from Rhadamant..

Base building wise.. hope that one will do the trick to be able to just have a few buildings as a base and not trigger raid after raid after raid lol

& that storage one will be a god send early on lol

In my experience, almost anything more than a single building becomes a level 2 outpost, so you'll probably need to use the level 2 or 3 version of the No Raids for Small Bases mod for that. They're linked in the mod description.

Cheers for that tid bit of info.. because yea.. 1 building as a bunkhouse, the other as storage, maybe a third.. just want a small outpost to call my own but not have to deal with normall base raid mechanics..

I know i can buy n repair a building in a town.. i always do that if i decide not to build a base, just want to do something diff this time around haha

Think i'll use V3 of the mod as to not worry about getting raided if i do decide to place a few extra building and start farming lol

You can build a copper ore storage box and shift click to give an auto-haul order to your miner. As long as the auto-haul order is under the mining order they will mine until the node is full, then haul ore to the storage box until they can mine again.

Being raided can actually get your settlement a lot of cash if you win and loot the gear. Also means that your characters will get some levels in them and slowly become stronger. Hiring mercenaries can help a lot. All part of the fun.
