Bard's Outpost Recruitment Beacon

The Outpost Recruitment Beacon mod emulates the functionality of the recruitment beacon from Fallout 4. This mod allows players to deploy an Antenna that recruits new crew members to their outposts. Recruits come with a mix of combat and outpost perks, enhancing your settlement's capabilities and defense. The time it takes for new crew members to arrive decreases with higher levels of the Leadership perk.

Features

It takes from 1-10 days for the first colonists to arrive. It is based on your mod settings.

1. Recruitment Antenna: Deploy an antenna to start recruiting new crew members to your outposts, Player Homes and Ships.
2. Leadership Integration: Decrease recruitment time by leveling up your Leadership perk.
3. Family Feature: New crew members may arrive with family members, including partners, children, elders, and siblings. This feature is enabled by default but can be toggled off in the settings.
4. Partners/Spouses: 35-45% chance of arrival. They have up 1outpost and 1 combat perk.
5. Children: 3% chance of arrival. They do not participate in combat and have no perks.
6. Elders: 10-20% chance of arrival. They do not participate in combat and have 2 outpost perks.
7. Perk System: Recruits come with a random outpost perk and a random combat perk, 2 perks total for combat-capable members.
8. Team Mates: Colonists will by default be added as the Player Team Mates, which allows them to be given commands. It can be disabled in the settings.
9. Highly Configurable:
10. 10 to 20 maximum recruits
11. 1 to 10 days (less the Leadership level discount) days to recruit
12. Set your new Settlers, err, Colonists to Essential by default or not (Children are always Essential (Well, there are ways around that))
13. Should your new Colonists ocupy Outpost slots or not? Decide it yourself
14. Toggle the Family Feature on or off
15. Enable inventory access through the interaction context by using the aid item
16. 160 Unique Names
17. New Terminal with interactable menu

Usage

1. Deploy the recruitment antenna in your outpost.
2. Use the given auto respawning ingestible item to configure.
3. Toggle the family feature on or off in the settings disc to customize your recruitment process.

Future Enhancements. I have some plans to add more features to make the Outpost Recruitment Beacon even more engaging:

1. Family ties: Have the family members stick together when they are idle
2. Perk Amplification Modules: Enhance the likelihood of attracting recruits with specific desirable perks.
