Slaver Action Pack
Description:
This mod gives you the awesome ability to capture your own slaves. You can’t do everything the Slavers do in the game but here are the aspects that are available to you:
– Any unconscious NPC will be shackled by your guys, even if they are KO by other NPCs
– An unconscious or crippled NPC will be carried automatically by your characters
– Slave NPCs automatically follow you and some might even try to escape
– Releasing the slaves gives you a very small chance they will join you (3%)
– Your characters will strip the NPC for weapons (make sure your inventory can fit them)
– When you are near your base and you have built cages, player NPCs deliver carried NPCs and lock them or the following slaves will enter on their own
Things that are missing and can’t be correctly implemented:
– Automatically store looted weapons
– Make slaves work at your camp
– Sell slaves without carrying them
– Sometimes releasing slaves from cages migth get buggy (NPCs are invisible but their head is still in the cage)
– There is no negative diplomatic impact when you enslave NPCs and their allies don’t become hostile towards you 🙁

UPDATE: After a ton of testing, I concluded that the scripts are specifically designed for NPC interactions. So in order to remove the constant back and forth between actions I have removed the ability to let prisoners down once they are healthy.
I have made slaves enter player cages automatically when they are near one (but be careful, cages act weird when you pick up prisoners).
And I also removed the ability to place the loot in the chest as the characters kept leaving the bodies once they took a weapon. This could cause weapons to despawn from enemy NPCs as they can’t be placed in the full inventory of your character so keep that in mind when fighting a boss.
Make sure you also have a healing kit so they heal the slaves and don’t asign other jobs as they have priority over the default AI scripts.
If your character doesn’t capture more than one slave, move him between squads so the script restarts.
Slaves will try to run away when it’s night now!

Detailed Log:
OK! This is my first attempt to make this mod work. So far it does what is supposed to do: Catch Slaves with shackles (you don’t need any in your inventory, they are generated by the game) -> loot their weapons -> heal them -> carry them if they can’t be conscious -> put them in a cage if any around / slaves enter on their own.
However, there are some limitations due to FCS:
1. This only applies to the squad you initially start the game, I could not find a way to apply it to the whole faction.
2. Slaves don’t join your squad but they do follow you.
3. Sometimes player characters run through walls to reach and enslave characters, even if they are from fights started between NPCs. You can take damage from the combat around you while you shackle the prisoners.
4. I did try to make the slave work in my base, but the dedicated script for that is probably tied to specific camps. I do not have any ability to edit those.
I know that Paradise Falls does the same function as this mod, but that mod hasn’t been updated for a while and the new FCS scripts have changed in that regard. This is the reason I made this mod because Paradise Falls have some weird bugs where my characters freezes in between actions. I think there is a loophole from the old scripts.
Note: I highly recommend you to put this mod last in the mod list order as I edited all the starting vanilla characters and squads. An import is not necessary and all you have to do is have your characters in the original squad you have started the game. If you don’t have it anymore then you will have to start a new game.
My mod is compatible with Paradise Falls, but be warned: That mod hasn’t been updated since 2017 as I am writing this description and there are many deprecated scripts.
I am open to feedback and suggestions, though I don’t think there is much more I can do in what concerns the way the scripts work!
