Automatic gates anyone?
I been wanting to create a gate that will automatically close when being attacked. I'm tired of my guards running out and chasing the raiders. Most times they get offed and then the long search for their gear to give to the next person lol I use the Galac-tac mod, so farming gunners armour to turn into mando armour can be a pain in the butt.
Is their a mod for that. Or is it something I can build ? I do have all the DLC's

already exists, multiple forms of it. workbench overhaul has a doors setting, and quite granular, who opened it, how long it should stay open, etc.

You have no idea how to play Fallout 4 if you think farming anything is difficult....

build a WALL OF GUNNER TRAPS. It only takes coinage to bait them... Sleep for 3 days, wait till all... what? 20? 50? 100? how crazy do you want to be?

Press the button, and let em all loose, and it's a gunner shooting spreee... or, you know, just trap a few dozen deathclaws on the opposite "team" so when you open the traps, they attack each other while your settlers cheer and laugh. Just saying. Farming gunners? Pfft

never said it was difficult. Just annoying.
But I did look some more online and it doesn't sound like I can do what I wanted.

I have not seen one, there are ones where you can control the spawn points however, I use walls with one opening I dont even bother with gates as they are useless, put rocket launchers on the walls facing out mostly and turrets facing in if the spawn points are inside a settlement. When I get attacked I go there and just watch the mayhem raiders/gunners etc flying thru the air, all over in less than a minute and I dont even bother gearing up my settlers just a waste of time.

Besides the automated doors mods that exist, there are also robot mods that will auto pickup items from dead bodies both settlers and enemies so even if they do get out and die, all that comes back to you regardless along with all the items of the enemies you fought. You have lots of options.

Closing a gate isn't a good idea. If there is no actual path into or out of the settlement, your settlers and the attackers will eventually just teleport past the wall. The game sees that they are supposed to be able to path somewhere and for some reason that can not (because you have completely sealed off the settlement), it will just eventually move the NPCs past the obstruction.

Now if you have enough turrets to kill all the enemies before that happens, thats great. And you might actually be able to kill them all before the game starts teleporting them.
