Settlement copy/past construction helper?

[ForevaNoob Wonemorturn]

Is there a way to copy/past a piece of wall or furniture you see and touch on your screen, in a settlement, while being in workshop mode, to make/use/land another one, an exact copy, of this item on the same map, one just like it, instead of having to dig for hours in that d... workshop menu to eventually... not find it?

Not as far as I know; you usually just get familiar with where things are located (though it's still annoying to do all the left-right scrolling when some of the subsections are particularly long).

And some items not where would expect them either. I would love a mod that simply let me organise the darn catagories. Though i have 80+ mods so wouldnt work for me :-(

[ForevaNoob Wonemorturn]

Wouldn't that be an amazing idea for a mod?
I saw that in many other games like Sim City for instance. So useful.
But thanks very much merci beaucoup for those answers, even desperate ones, guys, of course.

oh wait i have a idea i dont know if will work as game not open atm. Stand in front of it and hit ~ then click on the couch. A ID number will apear. they type Player.placeatme "the id you found".

Then should be able to move in with the.. forget what key but the move item one lol

And ya another mod i would love... Some one to simply take most/all of the items other building mods add into one darn mod! Same for weapons and armor and... Sexy clothes lol.

Atm to get SOME of what i want i have over 80mods and growing.

I have to admit, having "duplicate" in addition to the standard options when you select something would be very useful, especially if it worked with multi-selecting.

You know what? Always trust your ideas. That one makes some sense to me as well, and I'd try it as soon as I get near my Game computer, one I keep safely 100 miles away from me at any moment for lifesaving reasons.
Are you wishing some sort of 'all mods collection'?
Thanks very beaucoup.
And don't worry, you're not the only one wasting more time looking for mods than playing, which is absolutely insane... but fun.

[dragonsphotoworks]

lol not sure why computer so far away but if works it works :-)

Yes a mod that has all the armor in one mod.
Another mod with all the weapons.
And such...

With needing to use so many mods "litterly around 80" each once raises chance that some thing will break. Why id like a compiled mod instead.

Ya i made mistake and found some adult ones... Now i spend more time getting mods to fix the girls then play lol And redid all of the posters :-) i tend to stop and look at them while im fighting raiders lol Wife thinks it is funny

[ForevaNoob Wonemorturn]

Compilations are kind of against the individualistic free modder spirit, I suppose.
This is where it becomes important to try to understand why people freely and voluntarily do mod.
Unless the game gets very old and everybody agrees to become a forgotten part of a collection.
And as a more personal advice, you should keep that wife of yours. She seems okay...

[dragonsphotoworks]

Lol first on wife part.... You dont know the half of it lol And we been together over 16years. She wont let me go anywhere :-) and i dont wanna.. trust me hehe

But as for compilation i know what your saying as im a modder from 7 days to die. And i know i should of expanded and said be hard for 15 people to all work on same mod to compile it. Or for 1 modder to keep up work 15 used to do :-(

I dont expect it to ever happen. But a compilation of some of them would be so cool. Example a lot of the sexy outfits dont work as they all try to change CBBE. Which is why now a couple of my girls have white blotches on skin. But if more used same deoendices would be better. So could pick and choose which ones with out it being a one or other thing.

Also bunch of the building or defense mods overlap and conflict as change same catagory. I have SOE and home maker and others. And some times icons wont show up when build. But will be able to place item. other times it oppisite issue.

I would have 80 mods alone just for base/settlement building if they didnt conflict :-(

And on another note i do appreciate the work the modders do. Been thinking to grab CK and try hand at modding here. but im not good at asset creation im more xml editor atm.

I've fixed a couple of bad outfits in Outfit Studio - seemed to work. Though on the subject of wife's (and children) spending an hour or so staring at a wireframe of a naked woman from all angles might look a little weird.

Not really, she doesnt care for fleshy "life action" adult films. prefers hentai any way. so doesnt bother her.

[ForevaNoob Wonemorturn]

Wife may have much more imagination than the little we've been poorly granted.
Part of the reasons why we might love her so much...
I haven't fully understood that Outfit Studio the way I'm sure it works. Just by fooling around with it and clicking everywhere, I managed to have most of the clothing I like becoming CBBE friendly.

[dragonsphotoworks]

How does it work? i used to work with graphics as print company. Use adobe most of the time. and was stills only not video. But how hard would it be to make outfits? Wife and oldest kid gave ideas "nonadult ones" that would look cool. So thought i might give it a shot. plus add in some guns. 300winchester magnum one of ones i want. As im getting it in real life also lol

If you use tranfer settlements and you want to make two copies of the same building you can build the first one, export it then move it by holding e. Then you can restore the original building by importing it. If you learn how to edit the files transfer settlements make you'll be able to copy whole settlements. What I want to figure out is how to copy one level of a skyscraper on to the next. I'm pretty sure that's also possible with transfer settlements.
