Trouble with crafting stations in the Mobile Truck Base (MTB)

Post by **boct1584** » Thu Aug 31, 2017 6:24 pm

I had this problem something like a year or two ago and it never got resolved, so asking again as I get ready to do a new playthrough.

The crafting stations in the truck do not work. When I try to access them, it just opens a container menu.

I remember reading something about "sneak-activating" the stations, but unless that means something different from "crouch and then try using them" it still just opens a container menu.

EDIT: I never did try placing crafting materials in the stations and then trying to activate them, I always tried with just the crafting stuff in my inventory. Was that my mistake?

If you don't put the ingredients in the container associated with the crafting bench which you can access, it will only draw ingredients from your inventory, just like a normal recipe menu. If you put ingredients in the crafting station's container, it will also draw from that, not just your inventory.

There is an option to have the crafting station draw from ALL containers in the sortomatic room. If you sneak activate it will open a message box menu, buried in one of the options is an option to draw ingredients from all containers.

Also note, that because sortomatic uses formlists, the ingredients it will draw this way will be limited to vanilla recipes. I made a mod that adds to the formlists, all recipe ingredients from anything including mods, dynamically. It's on the forum, sortomatic ingredient loader.

edit: also, if you're not seeing the message box menu when you sneak-activate, you might have a mod overriding the script on the container, such as Lootmenu or Quickloot. There is an option to enable/disable activating scripted containers. Disable it

I do have the Quickloot mod from Xilandro, but I don't see an entry for it on MCM. Where would I look to disable that?

EDIT: I tried just disabling the Quickloot mod. Activating the container normally, activating it while in Sneak Mode, and activating it while holding the Sneak Mode button all still just bring up a container menu.

EDIT 2: For possible debugging help, I am using Willow's conversion of tdx73's original version with CRC32 [b]65A52B1E[/b].

EDIT 3: Random idea. I have Crouch/Sneak Mode bound to Left Ctrl. What is the default key for it? Maybe Sortomatic is bound to only check the default key.

I still haven't figured this out. Anyone else able to help/offer suggestions?

My mod load order: Okay, since the list fucking refuses to stop being in a big blob instead of one mod per line, attaching a text file.

Do you have the collision mesh mod? That might be the issue.

Turns out I do. Lemme try disabling it...

And there we go! Some combination of disabling the new collision meshes (although my version is a year old), disabling the X Minus One radio station, and disabling the Quickloot mod did it. Thanks for your help!

EDIT: Would still like to know where the option would be for Quickloot to not override scripted containers would be. I was not able to find it, and I would like to keep using the mod.

Gribbleshnibit8's LootMenu has the option
