Send Companions To Home Plate
This is an overhaul of the Player Home in Diamond City, aka Home Plate. The interior has been reworked, and the home now behaves just like any other settlement. You can send Companions and NPCs there and add Home Plate to the supply chain. The home is now full of custom paintings, pictures, posters and much more, but almost everything can be scrapped directly via Workshop Mode or indirectly via the Workshop Stacking system, which basically means if an object is sitting on something that gets deleted, then it too gets deleted. There is also a short backstory on the terminals in the form of a journal that the previous owners left. Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
Although Home Plate is similar to regular settlements in certain ways, it also has a few notable differences. You can't send companions to live at Home Plate, and you can't create a supply line between this house and another settlement.
This mod allows your companions to return to their original locations. Allow Piper to rejoin Publick Occurrences, Nick to rejoin the Valentine Detective Agency, and so on. You can also send your companion to Home Plate. After installing the mod, two new items will appear in your inventory's AID section: Send Companion Home and Send Companion to Home Plate. Set your current companion's dismissal location to his or her original home or to Home Plate with them.
This is the dreaded difference between Home Plate and a standard settlement. The one area where the small Diamond City home falls short. When splitting up from companions, you can't send them to Home Plate. Companions will go to any settlement you send them to, or they will go back to their natural home (which can be a pain to return to).
The serious issue with Home Plate exclusivity is with companions and the issue of sending that special someone somewhere. It can be worthwhile to build a very small settlement in Sanctuary. Early in-game you're asked to help build Sanctuary as part of a mission, so a little extra maintenance can go a long way, but if you're a lone ranger or a one companion type of survivor, don't even bother.
I've always wondered why I can't send companions here when I disband them. I've found the home plate as a more useful house than others (including places you build) because the market area is right next to you. But then I need to send my companions somewhere that I never go to or back to their home. I might just be dumb and there is a way to do this but if not, are there any mods for this yet.
Is it just me who feels bad sending to one of my settlements when they might actually want to go home? Piper might want to return home to Nat. Absolutely sure of this after our talk when I told her not to ignore her sister and be a part of her life... and then I prevent her from going home. "Nah go to Covenant and hang out with all the other Companions I dismissed." Or maybe Hancock wants to return to duties as mayor of Goodneighbor? Or Macready wants to go back to the Third Rail and drink beer and listen to Magnolia?
I have noticed a couple of occasions when companions will return to their homes - Piper and Nick Valentine will both return to Diamond City at particular story points. Most of the time, though, they act as if they'd never lived anywhere but whatever settlement you've parked them in for your own convenience.
Burton was born to Bert and Frances (Portwine) Francisco on November 19, 1933 in Alpena, MI. at the home of his Aunt Flo and Uncle Floyd. Burt spent his entire life in Alpena except for his tour of duty in the Navy and was a life member of the VFW Alpena Post 2496. He had great stories to tell about his youth and hunting with his dad and his Uncle Floyd. Burt graduated from Alpena High School and was on the first Alpena High School golf team and the first Alpena Community College basketball team. He was employed at Besser Company for 35 years retiring as a supervisor in 1995. Burt played a lot of softball and baseball in the county leagues and liked every minute of it. He is remembered fondly by many of the "young people" for all his years of being a "great home plate umpire" and every bit as good at officiating football, hockey and basketball. He enjoyed golfing with "the guys" on Wednesdays at the old Country Club and really liked telling his "duck hunting" stories anytime. He was an avid card player and "ticket puller". He liked nothing better than "tearing off" the big winner and "ringing the bell" at the VFW. Burt played pool on many different teams, the last being the VFW on Mondays and Bogart's on Wednesdays. He made many good memories and many good friends during those years. He was a member of several of State Pool Teams for the Post and the first Men's Auxiliary team. Playing on the Alpena VFW State Pool Team winning the doubles with George as his partner was "great" - but the best thing was the opportunity to pin his son as a Brigadier General. Burt liked singing and dancing, a good, cold beer with friends and a good laugh. He enjoyed a lot of things in life, but nothing more than spending time with family and his extended family.
Depending on the variety being played and the age and gender of the players, the particulars of the field and equipment vary. While distances between bases of 60 feet are standard across varieties, the pitcher's plate ranges from 35 to 43 feet away from home plate, and the home run fence can be 220 to 300 feet away from home plate. This differs from baseball, in which the bases are 90 feet apart.[1] The ball itself is typically 11 or 12 inches (28 or 30 centimetres) in circumference, also depending on specifics of the competition.
Softball rules vary somewhat from those of baseball. The game moves at a faster pace than traditional baseball due to the field being smaller and the bases and the fielders being closer to home plate. Softball is pitched underhand from flat ground, with fastpitch using a windmill arm motion, while baseball is pitched overhand from a small hill called a mound, which changes the flight of the pitch. Additionally, the entire infield of a softball diamond is dirt, without grass around the pitcher's plate.
The softball field is usually composed of a dirt or brick dust infield that contains the shape and running areas of a diamond and a grass outfield. However, the field can consist of other solid and dry surfaces such as artificial turf or asphalt. There are four bases on the infield: First base, second base, third base, and home plate. The bases are arranged in a square and are typically 60 feet (18 m) apart. Near the center of this square is the pitcher's circle, and within the circle is the "rubber", a small flat rectangular plate a foot and a half in length. The rubber distance from the plate in fastpitch can be as short as 35 feet for 10u players up to 43 feet for ages 14 and older.[18] In slow pitch softball, the rubber distance can be 43, 46 or 50 feet depending on age level and the league one is playing in.
To start play, the offense sends a batter to home plate. The batting order must be fixed at the start of the game, and players may not bat out of turn. The defense's pitcher stands atop the rubber and pitches the ball towards home plate using an underhand motion. In fast pitch, the pitcher is allowed to take one step back prior to releasing the ball during the forward movement. The batter attempts to hit the pitched ball with a bat, a long, round, smooth stick made of wood, metal or composite. If the pitcher throws three strikes against a batter, then the batter is out and the next batter in the order comes up to bat. A strike is recorded any time a batter swings at and misses a pitch or when a batter hits a ball foul (out of play). A strike is also recorded any time the batter does not swing at a pitch that crosses home plate within an area known as the strike zone. In fast pitch, to be within the strike zone, the pitch must cross over home plate, and as it crosses it must be above the knees and slightly below the shoulders (roughly the armpit or the shirt logo). The strike zone therefore varies from batter to batter. In slow pitch, the ball must land on a carpet or marked area behind the plate, therefore standardizing the strike zone. A pitch outside the strike zone is a ball. If the batter reaches four balls, the batter is awarded the first base in what is known as a "walk". The umpire behind home plate is the sole arbiter of balls and strikes. A foul ball may or may not result in a strikeout dependent upon what association and local league rules. However, bunting a foul ball does result in a strikeout. In some associations and leagues, bunting is not allowed and results in an out. Also, if a player has two strikes, swinging and partially hitting the ball can result in an out if the catcher manages to catch the tipped ball.
The field is defined by foul lines that meet at a right angle at home plate. The minimum length of the baselines varies classification of play (see below for official measurements). A fence running between the baselines defines the limits of the field; distance from home plate to the fence varies by field. The widest part of the field is the distance between the foul poles, which are erected where the foul lines meet the fence, and are about 310 to 420 feet (94 to 128 m) apart depending on the length of the foul lines.
Many players use "sliding shorts", otherwise known as compression shorts in other sports. These can be outfitted with a pouch for fitting a protective cup for male players. These shorts also help to protect the upper thigh when sliding into a base. "Sliders" may also be worn for similar protection. These are somewhat padded shinguards that extend usually from the ankle to the knee of the wearer and wrap all the way around the leg(s). They protect the shin, calf, etc. from getting bruised or damaged while sliding into home plate and make it much more comfortable to slide into the plate. Some male players use long, baseball-style pants. However, some female players now wear a shorter version of baseball pants.
