🎯 Tips & Tricks
Use to find hidden loot
Fly through walls in vaults to locate hidden stashes and unmarked locations.
Disable before landing
Always turn off tcl while standing on solid ground to avoid falling through the map.
Combine with tgm
Use tcl with tgm to safely explore radiation zones or high-level areas early.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Falling through the world
Re-enable tcl and fly back to a safe spot, then disable it while on solid ground.
Quest NPCs not reacting
Some quests require you to enter through doors; use tcl only for exploration, not quest progression.
