Ship Crew Assignments

Assignment Mode for Crew members, over 80 animated custom buildable invisible assignable objects, music (Starfield soundtracks) player and controllable work schedules.
Assignable Crew members:
You can assign any Crew member on your ship to any interactable furniture and buildable Assignable mat in Assignment Mode, which can be activated with "Ship Crew Assignments" in the Gameplay Options menu.
Over 80 animated custom buildable Assignables:
This Creation turns any interactable furniture assignable inside the Homeship (except the Pilot Seat) and also comes with a great variety of Assignable mats, buildable in the Ship Decoration Mode (Build Mode). Turn on Assignment Mode in the Gameplay Options menu so they show up as buildable objects in Build Menu. Each Assignable has a linked animation (e.g. sweeping, push up, reading, examining console, etc.). Built Assignables are hidden by default while the Assignment Mode is inactive so that you don't have to see the metal door mats all the time.
Assignment Mode:
Integrated into the Gameplay Options menu. While active, Assignables are buildable and visible, and Crew members are assignable.
Starfield music player:
One of the buildable objects that come with this Creation is not an Assignable but a Speaker. Once built, you can activate it to open the Audio Menu. Within the Audio Menu, several vanilla Starfield soundtracks can be played (e.g. faction music, Astral Lounge, Paradiso, ambient music, unique quest tracks, etc.).
DJ:
Crew members assigned to "Assignable - DJ" can play music like an actual DJ. To select music track and change the volume, press the "DJ Menu" HUD option, visible when approaching a DJ while in Assignment Mode. (The DJ Menu is available from v4.0).
Controllable work schedules:
Crew members aren't only assignable, their Working and Sleep Hours are also determined by the captain. The Crew can be ordered to work 24/7 in space or allowed to take a break while the ship is landed. Sleep Hours: Crew members assigned to beds go to their own beds and those who aren't look for unoccupied beds to sleep in. The ones who don't find any free bed wander around in the ship unless they were told otherwise. Note: Crew members don't look for beds in Captain's Quarters and Brigs, however, this doesn't prevent the captain from assigning them to beds in such habs. Out of Working and Sleep Hours, the Crew has time off (they can still use the Assignables randomly). Working and Sleep Hours are in UT by default. (This feature is available from v3.4).
Time Zone:
This setting allows you to determine whether work and schedules are in Local Time or Universal Time (UT). Default is UT. (This feature is available from v3.4).
Leniency Setting:
Allows you to control how many Crew members can randomly take a break during working hours regardless of the Time Off and In Space settings. E.g. 20% means 20% of the assigned Crew members are allowed to wander around. After idling for about a minute, the Crew member may return to their assigned furniture.
Notes:
The custom Crew AI applicable to assigned Crew members is compatible with my other Creation, Keep Generic Crew Members Around.
Release notes
Xbox
-
5.0Multi-Ship Assignments: the Crew no longer gets unassigned when changing or modifying the Homeship at a Ship Services Technician. Note that deleting a spaceship hab still removes Crew assignments to work objects and beds in the deleted hab.
Removed the Layout Recongition feature. (This feature was to help Crew members find their assigned work objects and beds in the Homeship's new layout after the ship was modified. It is no longer needed due to the new Multi-Ship Assignment implementation).
Minor fixes and improvements for the Activate choices. Added new Activate entry "Stop Assigning Current" so that Assignment Mode can be easily exited by facing an interactable furniture or Crew member.
General stability improvements and several code optimizations especially for ships with a larger Crew. -
4.20Fixes an oversight that caused an unplaceable (duplicate) Assignable to show up in the Build Menu's buildable item list.
-

-

Fixes a bug that could cause the assignment perk to remain active even after turning off the Ship Crew Assignments setting in the Gameplay Options.
Fixes an oversight that affected some of the Assignables: repositioned the animation markers so that NPCs won't stand behind the mat or look into the other direction (sorry for the inconveniences the realignment might cause for certain previously placed Assignables).
Fixes an oversight that caused Crew members to ignore some of the Assignables while idling (i.e. outside of working and sleep hours) instead of randomly using them.
Added new setting Time Zone to allow setting whether work and schedules are in Local Time or Universal Time (UT).
Crew members assigned to "Assignable - DJ" can play music like an actual DJ. See new HUD options "Mute" and "Unmute" when approaching them.

Fixes a bug that could cause the Speaker difficult to interact with (or moved in Decoration Mode) from certain angles.
Improves the collision around the Speaker to make it easier to activate.
Fixes a bug that caused the NPC's gun to dissapear after a Loading Screen if they were assigned to the Tough Rifle Pose Assignable.
Created Build Mode menu icons for the Speaker and the Assignables.
The player now draws their weapon when they activate the Tough Rifle Pose Assignable.
Fixes a bug that could cause Crew members to go to sleep in Space even if the Crew works In Space setting was enabled.
