Yet people say walls have no use, they block line of sight so ♥♥♥♥ like that dont happen. A settler will auto repair destroyed crops (as long as you have the food to repair.) Found this out this week with a friendly fire incident at The Slog, my turrets mowed my cornfeild shooting the stupid bugs that respawned when I zoned in. Repairing it themself could be in a realm of possibilites. Hence they know where they need to put it back, and seeing as they also do the crafting animations on PA, why not even have them repair it themselves. +1 for this feature, but my take on it was that you'd simply assign a settler to a PA crafting station.

Or simply giving them the Power Armour pieces, and equipping them like normal armour, automatically loads them into a frame, which is then removed if all Power Armour pieces are unequipped. Yeah, I was meaning something where by you could tell a settler to enter a suit, and they remain in the suit until you tell them to exit it, and will only exit the suit when you say so. Like Duke for instance is ALWAYS in his suit. There has to be a console flag somewhere that keeps a NPC in the suit. Which is funny because I have seen a few posts about people losing suits because the companion dumped it somewhere after being dismissed. Even companions will dump their suit as well soon as they stop being your companion.

Even the mobs and most NPCs like Rowdy dumps her suit. Well the whole issue with that would be them dumping the suit as soon as they finish combat.
