Workshop Plus

Author's words:

Transform Workshop Mode into a God Simulator - giving you all the tools you need to create amazing settlements. Flying, undo button, layers, clone tool, free build mode and more!

TLD; Dropping down a complete building or making a bed out of cigarette wrappers isn't realistic or immersive anyway, so let's go all out and turn it into a proper tool. Workshop mode is more of a creative tool, letting you move around freely and take advantage of a plethora of hotkeys to enhance your building experience.

Prerequisites:

Workshop framework

Mod configuration menu

You can use some features without MCM - but due to the hotkey system it provides, it is highly recommended.

feature

Freedom of movement without the pain of tcl

Autosave feature so you don't forget to save in WS mode

Undo/redo hotkeys

Clone tool - clone individual parts or entire parts of a design

Layers that provide complete control over your design

Draw a layer blueprint and build a copy of the layer in any settlement

Free build mode without tgm bypasses privileges and ignores resource costs

Tracking system, activate settler or workshop items respectively and find owned items or owners

Now open source! If you'd like to contribute to this mod, or get some ideas on how to leverage the Workshop Framework (which is used as the basis for WS+), head over to the Github repository!

God's perspective

Workshop Plus turns you into an invisible hand in the game world while you're in Workshop Mode. All of the following options can be turned off.

• Flying: You actually fly in workshop mode, no tcl required. This means you can still interact with things over and over again without having to turn tcl on and off. Super Speed: In Workshop mode, you move very fast, allowing you to quickly reach the parts of the settlement you want to work on.

Can be set to +50%, +100% or +200%.

• Invincibility: In Workshop mode, you cannot take damage and more importantly cannot be harmed - No more accidental deaths while working on your settlement.
• Stealth: In Workshop mode, NPCs will completely ignore you so you can focus on your buildings. This also enables you to convert the game into a full-blown tower defense with the appropriate mods.
• Free Build: No longer requires building materials to build, and bypasses the perk requirement for Workshop items (they still show the lock icon, but can be built anyway). This option defaults to OFF because it prevents scrapping of resources that could cause confusion.

Hotkeys (requires MCM)

• Clone: ​​Pick up an item, press a key and you have a copy. If you have Place Everywhere, this can even handle stuff you don't have building records for - meaning you can clone everything in the game, and even generally just scrap stuff in a simulated settlement, or props and buildings!
• Undo/Redo: Over 1000 levels of undo support! Set up hotkeys so you can undo moves, placements and scraps with the press of a button.

About undo/redo

A note of caution - if you undo the movement of a wired object, the wires will still be in the same position as when you moved the object - you will need to reconnect the wires yourself - but the power will still run even if you don't.

• Your undo history will be cleared every time you enter a new settlement.

Layers

Layers allow you to separate items and quickly hide or even duplicate them! This allows you to use programs such as Photoshop in your settlement.

• Multi-layer: up to 16 layers per settlement (default layer 1)
• Duplicate: Entire layers can be duplicated, allowing you to create structures, make copies, and then move your copies anywhere you want in your settlement in one go thanks to toggled display/links!
• Delete: transfer items between layers or even scrap them all at once!
• Visual HUD: HUDFramework integration, providing visual modules to help you use the Layers system.
• Toggle display: Hide all items on a layer immediately, then redisplay them again just as quickly.
• Switch Links: Unlinked items are not picke …
