Question Make Toy Factory toys donatable for Happiness?

[Nafen]

IS this possible? To assign a happiness value to the toys produced by the toy factory, so they have some use other than decorative :D

If it's possible, I think it would be a nice suggestion. No more sharing my drugs or soda pops!

Ahh that would be cool, though the place already adds happiness so...

I mean, how can you be unhappy with a giant toy factory staring at you.

The first time I built this I just had a vision of some raiders busting in only to find this and the thoughts they must have.

The plot adds happiness to the settlement that it is in, yes. But you could donate the toys to any settlement :D

True. Wonder if that would be possible to do without just making all toys work.

Not sure if that's possible, I haven't really looked at the donation system.

That said, even if it's possible I'm not sure how I'd balance this option out. The factory produces a lot of toys and there is no real balance between keeping them and donating them. (with other items you are choosing between burning them up in the donation box and keeping them for yourself to use while murdering folk).

What happens with all those toys? They can't be scrapped, right? So other than the idea of it, and that the plot generates Happiness, what do they do for you?

Nothing, and they aren't supposed to, that's my point. Currently the toys are a decoration.

With this proposal they would have a use, but there wouldn't be any choice to it. They would just be an endless, free source of donation material. No scavenging, no deciding between giving up your nuka cola for recipes/combat/etc or improving happiness in a struggling settlement, no need to fill up valuable land in another settlement building a plot or assign a settlers time to reap the reward. Just free benefit.
In general I don't like entirely free benefit where I can avoid it. The toy factory as is requires power, space and a settler assignment to reap the happiness benefit.
