Covenant as a settlement (Spoilers)

[Mr. Self Destruct]

So I sided against the people at Covenent. SPOILERS AHEAD


I ended up having to kill them all, even though I didn't really want to. At first I thought I could turn this into a pretty decent settlement, but now I'm realizing I can't. All the beds are still owned by the dead residents, I can't even remove them from the building because they can't be scrapped. All the items are still owned, too, so I'd either have to scrap everything or steal everything. I'd only be able to have a few settlers in the place because there isn't enough room for any more beds anywhere, just what's in the guest house.

I'm ♥♥♥♥♥♥ about the beds, because I finally found a queen sized bed and I can't even use it, the selection for beds for settlements are ♥♥♥♥. Is there a console command for removing ownership on items?

[***]

Just make the house with the locked doors your home, the other 3 house you can make it for settler home.
So no need to scrap the doors.

This console command very important for covenant : setownership and disable.

Honestly I liked one of the settler there, the woman who was scared of your question and in the charisma dialogs you trick her in telling where the caravan were taken to. I want to add her in my settlement, but appears I can not.

I liked her too, I was most upset when I had to kill her. I should try resetai on her actually (or just reset? Can't remember), theoretically it'd put her pre-quest self back in town, which would mean she'd pretty much be pretending nothing had happened. I'll post an update here when I check that out, because it'd be cool.

Yeah she is cute and the one tending the store too.
Sadly the only way to use Covenant with our all own choosen settlers is to side against them all.
And Piper choose to side against them too.

In my first game I don't have heart to kill them.

I did say for anyone interested...

That doesn't make it more logical. :p But it's good to know for other settlements that DON'T have doors. Valid method for fixer-uppering, just not for Covenant.

How was it not logical? Is this real life?

No but we are, and our brains aren't programmed by Bethesda. It's not logical to spawn doors in the middle of nothingness because there's no point. It's a useful technique in other situations, but Covenant's problem is that it's TOO finished, adding more doors is about the most pointless thing that one could do.

I really didn't want to kill them, I was hoping there'd be one last dialogue option that would allow you to convince the settlers there to stop their messed up doings and tread lightly on the path of righteousness.

Store the items you want to keep, destroy the turrets ( they will agro your own), and use an unown or delete console command on the beds.

Spawning things in the "middle of nothingness is exactly what the build mode does...what I did was replace a door that cannot be opened by npcs to use the beds with a normal door that does not require a key. It looks exactly like the other door only no key needed.

Surely you could have just used the console and typed "unlock", or set the door to be unlocked at all times.

[Osadam]

You cant, it locks itself every night, thats the whole reason for my post. Cant set ownership either, you need the key but npcs dont use keys.

nah the doctor said specifically that everyone at covenant was there because synths did something to their famliies or some such, then also said that they have no way to tell if someone is a synth or not yet, and what techniques they do have are only recent discoveries. its all lies and superstition and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. i planned to kill everyone except the nervous ones who i thought maybe would see reason. but when i returned to covenant they attacked me so, adios.

the only one i spared was the robot because all he ever wanted to do was give people lemonade. now he hides behind the houses and if you approach he offers lemonade. ok then.

all the reddened ♥♥♥♥ is stupid so i just scrapped it including the main computer. used it as a barracks. the awning on the house near the gate is a good place to build turrets since they can repel attackers who will invariably enter through the gate. bethesda should have let us use those turrets thought or at least replace them but even if you blow them up there is an etnernally smoking stump wheere they used to be. if you dont take them down to about 20% health theyll never attck you though so unless you prefer smoking stumps on the walls might as well just leave them there. seriously though bethesda if you want to force me to feel remorse by gimping the settlement then dont make the covenant npcs so evil AND dumb.

I also sided against Covenant. Even though I tried the compromise, they still shot me on sight. So, unfortunately, the whole town is dead and I have the "red" issue. But...I made the mistake of already stealing items right after I cleared the town. It was empty at the time, but now the settlers that responded to my beacon showed up at the gates immediately hostile. I thought I'd be clever and just move people from other settlements there to get around that, but as soon as I reassigned them (before they even left) they turned hostile right there in my other settlement. Is there any fix left for me, or should I give Covenant up as lost?

For removing beds, turrets etc WITHOUT use of consol commands, this video has the perfect solution :) Just found it. Made my day a lot easier.

If you are trying to get the Benevolent Leader Achievement. I used the Slog. One person won't do anything, but if you find the Charisma bobblehead you can have 21 people. 16 to run shops and 4 to pick the food(6 each). It has plenty of room outside the fence to build the shops, room to put up decent defenses. And put a ladder up to the roof and you can build up as much as you want. Plus tons of room for artwork(you need to for the achievement).
