Fallout

Easy Pete is outside and takes pics with tourists.

As for the Cazadores-

Background of the ammo plant:

• Egret tours marina is my ammo plant, and I have it where you drop all your junk, weapons, armour, and stuff into a trunk, then it will break down everything into components needed for ammo into hoppers or back into your workbench automatically. You select the ammo you want to build from the computer, throw the corresponding lever to let the ingredients onto the belt to feed the ammo plant and let it work. It puts the ammo in the workbench for you to collect and also has a cleanout system to clean itself out after and replaces the items back into their bin for the next run.

Background of the save:

• I started FO4 with this save, and it has gone through some...issues...over the years. Started playing this save way before sim settlements the original. Modded it part way through with SS1 and all the goodness that went along with it. Screwed up the save to the point it was not even stable enough to do any settlement building so I kinda gave it up. SS2 came out and I thought "bah, it cant hurt plopping a huge new mod right on top of an old one, even tho it tells me not to!" and it turned out about as well as you think. Ok being honest it did work but a few of my settlements were toast and completely bugged out. Thankfully through one of the SS2 updates and/or WSFW I was able to mostly recover and play my original game again! Egret tours marina was intended to be my main ammo plant and not really house anyone, but 1/2 way through building it my old R9 390 could hardly handle the 15fps i was lucky to get. So back on the shelf the save went. Years go by and I finally get a whole new pc's worth of upgrades I toss the save back and im able to get 30fps ish in egret tours marina so I started to upgrade it a little. Well, because of piss poor planning and not being able to move around with the R9 (fps drop) I didnt want to expand too much more and had already built myself into a corner, kinda.

My plan is to tear it all down, expand so its not such a shitshow but the wiring is daunting. I thought I'd save what I have done now because it took me so long to get to this point its kinda sad that no one will ever get to see it! If anyone is interested I would be happy to upload it so you can check it out. Be warned, I'm new to using Transfer Settlements but it worked, it'll take forever to build but it works. I also saved it using SS2 city plan but the wiring seems not to work/follow through and that makes the save useless.

There is more I will have to go through if anyone actually wants to check it out as you will manually have to put stuff in the splitters, but that's minor and can be explained later.

On Saturday, September 7th, 2024, Jason Damron, aka Kankennon, aka The Fallout Storyteller, passed away from Stage 4 Adrenal Cancer. Let's gather to have a few words, remember what he meant to us and the Fallout Community, and just celebrate Jason for what he brought into the world. Rest in Peace, Jason. You'll be missed dearly.

Please let me know in non spoiler mode, isn't this game made by Brits? I'm literally going through the foot tunnel to the north side and thinking "the den is thataway" (west)

I spent 3 days trying to get FOLON to work following both the official website guide and every post I could find on the internet, and I finally said fuck it and played around with it myself and figured out how to get it running.

I'm posting here in case anyone else has had the same problems I did and don't have a solution. The first half is pretty much identical to their instructions

This does not use the FOLON Downgrader, Because I dont like the idea of signing into my steam account through someone elses program.

Also don't be in a steam beta. Use release steam

• Run steam in console mode as per instructions here. On Linux just close steam and run "steam -console" in terminal
• Download all the depot packs like they instruct.
• Create a folder elsewhere and go to where the files downloaded and empty each folder into the created folder so you have a full build of the last version of Fallout 4 (Do not alter this directory further, unless you want to have to go through all that pita downloading again, so only copy files from here, do not move them from here)
• Go find appmanifest_377160.acf in /steam/steamapps and make it read only
• Go to your /steam/steamapps/common/Fallout4 folder and delete everything it, and copy the Fallout 4 you just downloaded into the folder.
• Launch fallout once, i dont know how far you have to go, i typically go to character creation, to make sure the game creates all the necessary files
• Go to GOG and download the Fallout London files. should be 10 files, one being an .exe and the rest being bin files
• This is where we diverge. Run protontricks, If you don't have it installed, then read install instructions here, and select Fallout 4
• Ignore any missing file arch 65 errors, keep clicking okay until the "What do you want to do" window pops up
• Click install application, Ok
• In this next window, click cancel
• In this window, select Run an Arbitrary Executable (.exe/.msi/.msu) and click okay.
• In the file explorer that pops up, navigate to your FOLON installer (at the time of this posts edit it is ~~setup_fallout_london_2.31_revision2_(64bit)(75054)~~ setup_fallout_london_v1.01_iv2.31r3(64bit)_(75422).exe) and run it
• Select your desktop as the destination (Don't select your Fallout 4 folder, It'll just install FOLON into a Fallen London subfolder)
• one the install is done and over, select every file in that folder and copy (don't move, copy, You want to save this folder as well in case something screws up so you don't have to through the install steps again) the Data and src folders (this is just f4se source code folder, but it'd go in /Fallout if you installed f4se manually anyway) and all loose files beneath it to your fallout 4 folder, and tell your file manager to merge folders and overwrite files.
• Move the files in _Appdata to ~Steam/steamapps/compatdata/377160/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Fallout4/, overwriting what is there
• Move files in _Config to ~/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/377160/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/Fallout4/, overwriting whats there.

You should be able to launch Fallout 4 now, and have it load directly into Fallout london, and thanks to making appmanifest read only, steam will never update the game and bork your mod.

Now there are still lots of bugs in FOLON, like the train crash outside the starter area, which most people fix by installing the Buffout mod, but thats beyond the scope of this post

If any of you out there had woes getting FOLON to work like I did I really hope this helps

Edit- About 30 minutes ago, as of this edit, a patch was released to address many problems with FOLON. None of the techniques I've listed here for installing the main mod works with the patch. I am continuing to experiment and if I can figure it out I will edit this post again or make a replied post.
