     1. Description

*****************************************************************

Collectibles Helper lets you set quest markers over collectible items such as bobbleheads and magazines.
Use the MCM menu to control which quest markers you would like to display on the map in your Pip-Boy and
toggle the Collectibles Helper quest on to display them on your map.

Key Features:

* Show Quest Markers: Puts a quest marker over collectibles items that you want to see a marker for. You can
  toggle quest markers for bobbleheads, specific magazines such as La Coiffe or Grognak The Barbarian and so
  on. When you show quest markers for collectibles it'll add a new quest into your Pip-Boy called Collectibles
  Helper. Make sure this quest is active if you want to see the map markers on your map.

* Automatic Transfer: Includes a function to simply transfer all collectibles into your inventory, such as all
  issues of Guns And Bullets or Nuka Cola Recipes. You will be notified of any collectibles that failed to be
  collected (e.g.: Guns And Bullets issue #8 only spawns in after the Brotherhood of Steel reinforcements
  arrive).

* DLC Support: Supports collectibles from the DLC, such as Islander's Almanac from Far Harbor, or Star Cores
  from Nuka World.

     5. F.A.Q.

*****************************************************************

Q. Is this ESL flagged?
A. Yes.

Q. I don't see an MCM menu!
A. Ensure you've installed F4SE and MCM and have put the config.json file under
   Data\MCM\Config\Collectibles Helper.

Q. I've enabled quest markers for a type of collectible, but I don't see any on my map.
A. Ensure the Collectibles Helper quest is enabled in your Pip-Boy. Also keep in mind that the game engine
   can only show a limited number of quest markers at a time. You may need to toggle off another quest or two.

Q. I got a message saying 'Unable to transfer...###'.
A. Collectibles that may have been deleted by your game cannot be transferred into your inventory. There's not
   really anything I can do to reverse that.
   Also note that Guns and Bullets #8 only spawns in at the Cambridge Police Station after the Brotherhood of
   Steel reinforcements arrive so it's not possible to transfer it into your inventory or put a quest marker
   over it before that happens.

Q. I came across a collectible, but there's no quest marker over it even though I have quest markers on for
   that type of collectible.
A. If the location respawned it may have generated a duplicate. Quest markers can only be shown for the original
   collectible reference.

Q. Aren't there 35 Star Cores? Why am I only seeing 25 quest markers?
A. Star Cores that start off already in the main console aren't given a marker.
