Beacons & Boom-Booms

Post » Sun Jan 17, 2016 7:13 pm

I wish one, or both, of the following happens...


1. Beth makes it so the when you click "Show Supply Lines" on the map it would also show a translucent circle of the area covered by installed Artilery & Recruitment Beacons.


2. A Mod is made to activate #1, and it is approved for use on the PS4.

The only real way, at this time, to tell how far our artillery will reach is to either walk around and spam smoke grenades to see the result, or to walk around with the recruitment beacon from the town you have your mortar in and see where the signal is lost...and the second way only works if there is only one beacon active in that area at the time.


Does anybody know of any better way?

I realy want to start using the "Arts" for this playthrough just to be more "in character" since it is my MM/patriot playthrough.

Range of artillery is about five grid squares of the Pipboy map, not including the square the settlement is in (I think)



As for your point two. that's basically how it's expected that it will work once the systems are in place next year. Mod is made on Pc and uploaded and is cleared for download onto consoles. (With some restrictions, nothing to graphically demanding, nothing with copyrighted material, no advlt mods, nothing requiring a script extender etc)



However, it's only been confirmed for Xbox so far, Bethesda are still working the details with Sony apparently.
