[Feature] Dark Tower frustrations...

[Doctor Feh]

This may not be a bug per se but it's been making me (figuratively) tear my hair out and I was hoping for some advice. I decided to go with a "Dark Fantasy" theme at my Oberland Station settlement so built the Dark Tower as a fitting home for my Demonic Overlord.

Now there's what I presume is the intentional joke twist that happens when you get to level 3 (har har), but no worries, I figured I'll keep the tower door closed and assign her to my artillery platform where she can just stand all day and night looking cool, like so:

Unfortunately, the moment I look away she wants to leave the artillery, walk all the way down and over to the tower, and start sweeping up the place and fixing valves, etc. in a most non-overlordy fashion. This happens no matter what time of day it is, and once she leaves the artillery she never wants to return, the magnetic pull of Dark Tower Domesticity is too strong.

I don't want to have to scrap the tower because I like how it looks on the outside, but it seems like only the level 1 version doesn't have the "magnet" effect. I'm more okay with level 2 if she insists on going to sit on her throne of meat, that fits theme fine, but the level 3 stuff is right out and I can't get her to stop prioritizing it. Any advice? Aside from leaving the Tower in a permanent non-upgraded state, I suppose...

try not allowing SS to reassign away from vanilla objects (it's one of the options in the holotape)

I can't guarantee it'll work but it couldn't hurt.

This stuff made my day, and it was a glorious day to begin with! Ha ha ha! Those pesky settlers and their own agendas huh? Off drinking coffee?! Your job is to defend against mutants, dimwit! Tinuvia is always ribbing me, saying I must not make idles with the "work" tags on them, because I mess up peoples games, and I always secretly sneak some in there so the poor settlers can have their breaks away from the tyranny of the mayors. Well, you got to take the good with the bad I guess. And lets be honest- would you rather stand guard and wait for a Deathclaw to make you into a living scratchpost -or close the door on your clanky tower and have a snack away from prying eyes?

I can give that a shot but she's definitely still assigned to both objects. Like you say though, couldn't hurt to try.

I have a dude at another settlement who alternated standing at his arty and taking five at his house nearby, which was kind of cool. But in her case she leaves and never goes back. I spent a lot of time designing your look, lady, get out here and spread those wings!

And she does look awesome! I want those wings. Goes great with the Shish-kebab.

Got them and most of the armor from https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/26192 - just had to scrounge up some middle parts
