Introduction

Militia Watchtowers (Redux) Scattered across the Commonwealth are 8 explorable watchtowers that contain loot, a vantage point, and later the Militia level. Long before the Sole Survivor stepped out of Vault 111, the Minutemen guarded the Federation and helped protect its people. Watchtowers aided in this effort, as they observed settlements from above and were able to spot emergency flares from almost anywhere. These watchtowers are mainly located near the Commonwealth borders and overlook the vast expanse of land. In 2287, these watchtowers remained dormant after the Minutemen fell to the Gunners - at least until the lone survivor helped Preston and his entourage retake the castle. At this point, the Minutemen will be instructed to retake the tower. It does not break the pregroup and edits the navmesh in the affected cells.

For those of you who don't know, this is a complete remake from scratch of an early mod I made for Fallout 4. This redux version aims to address some of the requests and issues with the original mod, while retaining everything that made it great. Users of older mods may be surprised to find that loot is worth much less than Money, a decision made to help keep progression balanced.

Provides the official Boston environment patch.

Naturally, this mod adds new locations and geometry to the game world. This has the potential to conflict with other mods editing the same area. Such a mod could add additional locations, flora overhauls (like BNS), or even quest mods that affect the area, as the navmesh is reworked in the affected cells. I'm not planning on making a patch, however, as long as this mod remains required, perm is open to those who wish.
