Commonwealth Deck

Fallout 4 on your Stream Deck, live from the game's own Pip-Boy companion app data on your PC.

Commonwealth Deck connects to the Pip-Boy app server built into Fallout 4, as the phone app did. Each other key presses the key you chose in the game's Controls menu.

The keys

Vitals: health and AP as readouts, bars or dials, crippled limbs in red.

Chems: your Stimpaks, RadAway and Rad-X. A press uses one through the game, with no menu.

Favourites 1 to 12: what is on each slot, lit when that weapon is in your hands. A press uses it.

Pip-Boy: level and XP, caps, carry weight, SPECIAL, the quest, the date and effects.

Radio and Map Marker: tune in or switch off; mark where you stand, or clear it.

Map: the game's own map picture across a page of keys, centred on you, with places, quest markers and your marker.

Power Armor: each piece of your suit and its condition, plus spare fusion cores.

Commands: activate, jump, grenade, the Pip-Boy tabs, quick save, Workshop mode, VATS and more, each showing its key.

Commonwealth Deck reads your ControlMap_Custom.txt, or else the game's default controls, and follows a rebind at once. Keys are pressed only while Fallout 4 is the window in front.

The map picture

The Map keys draw over the game's own world map picture, read from your Fallout 4 folder while you play. Nothing of Bethesda's ships with the plugin. With it off, the keys draw a grid.

The layout

The Commonwealth Deck key opens a layout with an Explore page and pages for Combat, Pip-Boy, Power Armor, Workshop and the Map, for the Stream Deck, XL, +, Mini, Neo and Corsair Galleon 100 SD. On the + and the Galleon the dials show health, AP or XP, turn through favourites, tabs, the radio or VATS targets, and on the Map page they zoom, pan and find the nearest quest marker. Follow turns to the Combat page in VATS and the Power Armor page while you wear your suit.

Every key, dial and settings page speaks English, French or Spanish, with the game's own words. The Language setting picks one, or follows Stream Deck.

The XENEON EDGE

Commonwealth Deck can write a feed for the Commonwealth Dashboard widget on the CORSAIR XENEON EDGE, whose touch controls tune the radio, use chems and set the map marker, on your PC only.

What you need

Windows, with Fallout 4 1.11.240 on the same PC.

F4SE 0.7.9 and the Pip-Boy Companion App Enabler (AE) mod. Start the game through F4SE, allow Fallout 4 on Private networks if Windows asks, and open the Pip-Boy once in game: the data starts then.

The game's Pip-Boy app does not send combat, sneak, rads, the weather, Survival needs, settlements or the fusion core's charge, so those keys show a dash. Without the game the keys say what is missing, and nothing leaves your PC.
