JT I have a quick question. Do the soldier in the barracks do patrols or just stay in or just outside the barracks.

They patrol, hang out at the bar, lounge in chairs and are good defense in an attack.
 
I have it them scheduled to patrol for 12 hours, relax for 4, and sleep for 8. And half of the guards have their schedule offset 12 hours, so there should always be someone patrolling.
 
But you still have to have someone build it and be assigned to it?
 
Yes someone needs to be assigned to build/upgrade it and to receive defense, but I think the guards still stay when the building is unassigned. I couldn't think of a reasonable way to despawn them. I might look at modifying their AI package to where they stay inside the building when it's not worked.

Instead of despawning them, you could teleport them to a holding cell and just have your plot keep track of them so that when a worker is reassigned, it teleports them back to the barracks
 
Love the barracks mod. Always build multiple because it gives a more strong faction feeling in the settlement when playing Minuteman faction.
 
Ohhhh ... it would be cool to be able to have them related to a faction ... appropriate flag and uniforms ...
 
My barrack's defense bonus dropped to 0 after upgrading to lvl3.

smacked it with the breaker but didn't go back up :(
 
Is someone working it? Since it should be consuming 12 food and water t00.
 
I put three different settlers on it but they all swept the floor for a few seconds then walked off (I remember at lvl2 the worker stayed in) the plot still shows as assigned, at least the guards with full combat armor + rifle are patrolling/resting properly though.

/edit I got it working now, reverted back to an old save then reinstalled the mod, hit it with IBBreaker and the plot's back to normal. Perhaps it's a vanilla game glitch because the worker had a crow icon instead of shield.

I don't think the guards should be de-spawned... I think it's okay that they linger around - perhaps get lazy, their hostile recognition ability drops, they consume more resources, and defense drops...

If it's unassigned, the "general" is not doing his job to keep discipline... IMHO.

Hey JTbryant and kinggath and any other creators

love the work you've done here

buuuut...

My Barracks I've put up at Sanctuary isn't doing any patrolling.

They mostly just stay in the building unless an enemy gets close.

if you nudge them, one will stand slightly outside.

here's some pics:

Do you have any idea how to fix this? I've torn down and rebuilt the plot, but I haven't put it in a different place yet. Should that matter?

Thanks
 
They were working before I first released barracks.:no:
I'll look in to in when I get started on the new barracks.
 
Sorry to say, that I'm also having a similar problem on XBox. They were patrolling (level 1) when I asked you about the Barracks the other day, but my two level three Barracks (in different settlements) the guards just all cluster inside!
Also, when I used the baseless plot version on top of the wooden foundations (the one with the legs, whatever it's actually called) [over water at the Castle] the guards all ended up underneath it!
 
Same. On PC and have been having this problem since I first used it a week ago but figured if no one else was reporting it. It was on my end and have been working on trying to figure it out.

Always report, worst thing is they say it's on your end...

If everyone uses that logic, nobody will ever report it :P
 
I am on Xbox and I also have seen them just standing around in the Barracks, I just thought since no enemies were around that was why.
