It's not terribly complicated. This is a 2x1 Captain's Quarters hab with 0, absolutely 0, top or bottom connections. This prevents ladders from ever darkening your CQ.
Unfortunately, this means you can't even put weapons or structures on them. You can, for example, stack 2 companionways, connect the bottom one to a cockpit and the landing bay. Then fill every other companionway connection with these Captain's Quarters...and you'll ONLY have the ladder between the two companionways.
So, why did I make it this way? Because the script is written to favor ladders and there are several redundancies designed to FORCE vanilla ladder behavior.
On one iteration of testing, I added structural connections (like a weapon mount connection), but the Shipbuilder STILL flagged ladders even though they couldn't actually exist. So, basically, there were habs with no doors or ladders...because the shipbuilder WANTED to put a ladder on the structural only hook.
Removing those structural connections was the only way to actually force the shipbuilder to make doors.
Which leaves us where we are. I removed all of the connection points related to ladders. I had two options: override vanilla habs. Which would've been easier at first...until all of the ship templates/NPC ships were broken (unreachable cockpits?). ORRRR...
Completely rework existing habs. Because of the nature of my mod, this means I have to redirect EVERY ITEM in each hab.
A...neat...side-effect of that is: I removed most of the clutter in the Nova CQ.
So...that's it. That's the mod: A hab with no top or bottom connections...that can only be connected to via door.
I respond to any posts as quickly as possible, feel free to ask any questions/report any issues. I'm going to hold off on my next one to see which hab people would like next. Maybe post a poll on Reddit or something. Can be done on any hab, but the larger habs will take more time because, again, I have to redirect EVERYTHING inside of them.
Installation
Mod Manager install
-Everything should work without issues. Just download and enable it. You also might need to download and enable Plugins.txt enabler.
Withdrawing support. I've just lost interest in this game. There's a lot of limitations that don't make any sense and I don't see the game getting to a point that it renews my interest.
Manual install:
- Place the mod into your Starfield/Data folder
- Download and install Plugins.txt enabler
- Go to %localappdata%/starfield
- add *MyHabsNoLadders.esm to the plugins.txt file.
