APC Home Update 1.04 Released
🕑 Added 2023-01-14 03:08:02 +0000 UTCAPC Home Update 1.04 has been released and is now available on the GreslinGames Discord in the #apc-home-update channel.
Requires: Fallout 4 with DLCs, APC Home on the Move mod by Bostek.
Barring any serious bugs, this will probably be the last release of my APC Home Update patch for a while. Everything seems to be working smoothly and offhand I can't think of anything new to do with it that doesn't involve major surgery.
Changes and features:
Seven new locations. The APC now supports a total of 18 locations, this release adding seven new stops, mostly in the southeast. They're named in-game as their 2077 lore equivalents (to keep things friendly with FROST):
Nut Island Wastewater (Warwick Estate)
Quincy Garage (Atom Cats Garage)
Mass Bay University (University Point)
Egret Tours Marina (Egret Tours)
Natick Red Rocket (Glowing Sea Red Rocket)
Forest Grove (Forest Grove)
Lynn Pier (Lynn Pier Parking)
The Glowing Sea Red Rocket ("Natick RR") now has a map marker. In the vanilla game it was originally an unmarked location.
The travel map pin system doesn't really scale to more locations, and so I came up with a workaround. Once you have visited any of the seven new stops, a note called "Other Destinations" will appear in the lower right corner of the travel map. Clicking the note will give you a menu of available new locations. Click one and everything else should work the same as usual.
VR plugin rollback. Since the last release, it was brought to my attention that Fallout 4 VR isn't compatible with the changes that Bethesda made with their 1.0 ESP format version in 2019. I've backed this patch to v0.95 format, and have renumbered all the relevant formIDs to be VR-friendly.
Water boiler improvements. The water boiler now uses the vanilla Survival Mode refillable bottle formlist rather than its own, so you should now be able to use any empty bottle in the game.
Bug fixes. I also fixed a number of very small bugs as I found them, such as a glitch that marked you on the Pipboy map as being in Diamond City whenever you were in the APC interior. Nothing showstopping, just polish work.
This update is not save game compatible, as I renumbered the formIDs and have made some substantial changes. Completely uninstall, save, load, reinstall, and go through the APC fix-up sequence again. (Like I said, barring serious bugs, this will be the last update for a while.)
You need the original mod in order to use this patch. Please read and follow the installation instructions, found here. They are important!
