Changelogs
Version 1.02
Merged the Taking Independence Fix into the main file in order to prevent potential edge cases where acquiring all settlements without speaking to Preston Garvey can prevent you from starting the quest.
All patches have been updated for the new version.
Version 1.01
Fixed a keyword-related issue that prevented the player from picking up "Returning the Favor" by speaking with Blake Abernathy.
Archived the old file, since suppressing walk-up acquisition of "Returning the Favor" is undesired behavior that can negatively impact the player.
All existing patches are already compatible with the new version, so their version numbers have been updated.
Version 1.00
Dramatically limits how often the player receives Minutemen radiant quests.
Ever wondered why settlements were so needy? Considered just ignoring a quest when Preston sends you all the way across The Commonwealth? Maybe been a bit curious on how Somerville Place got a message all the way to The Castle in a timely manner? Wonder no more! Now Minutemen radiant quests will be extremely localized to where you are currently playing!
FEATURES
Minutemen radiant quests can only be triggered by visiting (or going near to) the source settlement.
Location-specific quests such as "Out of the Fire," "Returning the Favor," and "Troubled Waters" have been left unmodified.
"Defend the Artillery at [LOCATION]" has been modified to have a cooldown of at least a week, because it cannot be limited like other radiant quests.
An optional file is available which will disable radiant quests for owned settlements.
Flagged as a light plugin (esl-flagged esp) for minimal impact on load order.
FAQ
How do I start using this mod?
Just install it! No configuration or special steps necessary.
There are already mods that do this, why should I download yours?
Use whichever one you like, actually. This mod is designed to be lightweight and unobtrusive, but that isn't necessarily what everyone prefers. That said, be aware that mods which completely disable minutemen radiant quests can prevent you from peacefully acquiring some settlements, and may have other issues associated with them.
