Notes

- the mod starts only after the player goes to an external location, to prevent it from starting at the very beginning of the game when launching many story quests and mods;
- when starting the mod, the player gets two hotkeys for group control and a bag; biovision hotkeys are in the biovision menu; hotkeys, except for group commands, can be handed in and received;
- all hotkeys are in the Weapons section;
- the bag can be placed on the ground by equipping the hotkey; the same bag opens in a dialogue with each follower;
- accepting new followers into the team is done through vanilla dialogue or in the hotkey menu "R";
- accepting and dismissing is accompanied by non-disabling pop-up messages. During the game, followers themselves leave and re-enter the team in accordance with their quests. When changing the active companion, the previous one leaves and re-enters the team;
- the command window for the group in the hotkey menu, the individual command window opens in the dialogue with the "R" key;
- there is only one active companion, as in a regular game. During his quest, he can be blocked by the game from being fired. During this time, it is necessary to ensure that the group of followers does not interfere with his movement;
- followers and companions comment on events in chorus. The mod does not control comments, quests, and proximity;
- commands for four companions and some other followers are voiced;
- new AI packages eliminate followers getting stuck in dialogues;
- all standby modes and relax continue indefinitely in the place where the command was received; the follower sleeps in relax mode from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. if he can find a place to sleep nearby;
- followers behave freely only on the Relax command; they can communicate with each other, eat, sleep, etc.;
- followers do not automatically teleport after the player after the "Relax" command when the player enters the ship;
- auto-teleport of lagging followers is performed on the Follow me command and when the player changes locations;
- group commands work in a radius of no more than 50 m, also work only within one cell to be able to split the group;
- some group commands and Camp work only for followers who execute the Follow Me command, this is also to be able to split the group;
- if the player gets stuck in narrow passages, the "Relax" command will allow you to easily move the followers;
- if the follower is broken: does not walk, cannot stand up, is silent, does not participate in his own quest, gets lost, does not want to get dressed, dismissal-acceptance, restarting the mod in the terminal and "Help" in the "R" menu will help. "Help" is a powerful tool, you need to start with the very first. The last, third degree of help resets all variables and can fix or finally break all his quests. Therefore, the third degree must be used carefully, saving the game in advance;
- by default, only characters available according to the plot from among the companions and the elite crew are accepted into the team. Dialogues and quests, more adequate follower abilities and behavior are written for them. But non-plot people and animals can bring amazing surprises. Acceptance of everyone in a row is switched in the terminal;
- the proper operation of followers is strongly influenced by the workload of the game engine: the number and error-free operation of mods even not related to NPCs, the number of followers and the power of computer hardware;
- in biovision, each category of creatures is supplied with a flashing beacon of its own color; batteries are required for operation;
- the lines on the screenshots in Russian are replaced text, they will be displayed in the language of your game;
- I made the mod to play it myself in a heartfelt way. I put it here as a gift so that anyone who likes it can take it. The composition of the mod is shown in the screenshots. Contact me with any questions on the mod page or in PM. Enjoy the game!

This is important!
If any test or quest stops without any apparent reason and it is impossible to complete, then leave all the followers outside to wait or relax, and return to completing the quest yourself. For example, when completing the flight exam in the quest "Supra et ultra". It is also necessary to ensure that the followers do not block the passage of quest characters while completing a quest. The best option is to leave the team to relax at a distance during the movement of the quest character.
