Good mod to make settlers scrap more?

[Samoz3]

I really like building settlements and this consumes a lot of resources. Since i don't want to cheat and just spawn in all the junk i need for my building plans i was wondering if there is a mod out there that helps you collect junk in the background through your settlers. I know how the basic scrapping stations work, and that you can try to farm with them, but it involves a lot of fasttraveling. since my pc is not a monster i would like to avoid that.

When the Automatron dlc dropped i really thought i could use the eyebotstations to make a scrapcollection capital... but eyebots only find the location of a scrap item and don't actually go and get it.

i've looked aaround the nexus but didn't really find anything... so i figured i'd try my luck here.

Yeah eyebots suck unfortunately, but you're in luck there is a mod on the Nexus that increases the amount of scrap that settlers gather.

Unluckily though, I can't remember what it's called.

Oh, if you don´t find anything there´s always the skill that let´s you scrap guns for resources, at high levels the amounts of stuff you get contra the weight of the guns is really quite good!

If you just want to remove the incredibly, stupidly low scrap/food/water gathering limits the game has by default, you can try Uncapped Settlement Surplus. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12430/

If you want something that gives you more control over what types of scrap you get, theres Northland Diggers. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9710/?

There may be more mods along these lines as well, but these are the ones I've tried in the past and they helped me quite a bit with resources.

1: build a settlement with lot of Brahmin feeders
2: collect all the plastic you can find
3: make jet, ultra jet, and jet fuel
4: sell jet for shipments of supplies.

Alternatively, I downloaded the mod Cannabis Commonwealth. Five minutes of harvesting/crafting and you'll have 7000+ caps worth of drugs to trade. I haven't spent an actual bottlecap in ages. A few rounds at the corvega plant or something and you can fill a settlement in no-time.

Northland Diggers mod linked above by Zee_ is actually quite good. I would recommend that one.

i know, its amazing how much copper hides in pipeguns. Until now i was running around with a backpack mod and max strenght just picking up every item i found. Then i discovered the salvage beacon mod that will send out settlers to collect all items inside a container and bring them to a settlement of your choosing...huge improvement from having limited inventory space but it is still annoying af going through all these menues :)

have a nice day
