    One thing that can be useful with interior plots it that they are 1x1.5 in size, so placing down a single foundation and attaching two small floor pieces to the side will give you the dimensions for a interior plot, useful to know if you plan on building in small places like hangman's alley or Jamaica plain.

    If you are going be placing plots on the empty foundation houses, I would recommend separating them from each other. What I like to do is place the 2x2 concrete foundation on the ground and then use the small wooden shacks floor to separate them. I like using them as it gives me that Diamond city feel you see in the game.

    The Rebuild series of mods on Nexus are great for interior plots. Cleans up a lot of vanilla settlement structures and makes it easier to fit interior plots in the space without settlers getting stuck. Mostly, Fallout's gonna Fallout.

    Thank you to you and your team for the amazing work and time that you have put into this mod. This mod for me makes Fallout 4 feel more complete, doesn't just leave me hanging after finishing vanilla. It has caused me to put an embarrassing amount of time into a game I already had a huge amount of time into. I do have a question in regards to settlement building with individual plots vs city plans and supplying HQ. Are city plans better or does it really matter as long as you have the required plots and levels in order to supply HQ?

      @@MishaStaggsIt's mostly just a speed of setting it up question - the resource sharing works the same either way.
      City Plans are quicker to set up, and the default options make the rules for them more lax than if you build yourself. If you want full control for min-maxing, you can definitely make more effective designs yourself for mechanics. If you are just trying to quickly build up though, City Plans are the way to go.

      Depends on your settings. If you have the options under City Plans set to follow Designers Choice and to Bypass Locks, it will build whatever the designer had, regardless of what you have unlocked.
      If you don't have Bypass Locks on, it will still build the same plot type/size combination - but if you have nothing unlocked, it will remain unbuilt or will pick a new random plan you do have unlocked.

  • @ollicron7397
    @ollicron7397 9 месяцев назад

    Something kinggath failed to mention in this video is when you start off, the industrial plots you have at the start of the campaign will only gather regular scrap, so sometimes it will conflict with the random residential plots when you start the campaign.
    This little detail cost me 5 hours of gameplay just trying to figure out how it works and it was very frustrating.
    So to fix this when you're doing that quest with the campaign, for each residential plot you make, make sure it's single family class (watch next video on the list), because those only take regular scrap. This will avoid you having to go out into the world having to look for junk to build the 8 houses to finish the quest.

    It probably seems obvious to someone who knows the system well, but I cannot for the life of me figure out which direction the "wall" on indoor plots faces: front or back. Anyway, I'd have found it helpful to have that info instead of trial and error. For instance, it seems when I "cancel" a plot before it gets started, the work order stops but pieces of the plot stay there. I dont' know what to do about those. So many noob questions! Thought it might be helpful to relate some of those to you. (Having a blast, btw. I played with SS several years back, but I was lazy and put it on auto. The quest/tutorial line is a great idea.)

So went back to ss1 but there also problems but fewer. It would be nice to having a list of other mods that don't give problems with ss2 on xbox because of the limitation of 2gb? I am using like scrap all, unlimited resources, settlements cap remover, clear sky all dlc, better settlers and have also some items from bethesda shop like donut joe, etc. I also added some ss2 extra building plans. Pity ss2 is not on ps5 as maybe that would have more than 2gb ?

    I tried to get back into SS after Chapter 3 launched. Started a new game with only SS2 mods. I'm very disappointed to see that A) SS is still incompatible with itself, using city plans still breaks quests. and B) You can't finish the whole mod due to bugs. The forums are littered with people having issues, unable to get past checkpoints in every chapter. Every answer always comes down to, "you have to do this one weird trick 16 missions ago! restart your game and good luck!"
    People are having to do dozens of playthroughs rolling the dice just to play this thing. Modders are still blaming other modders. It's so disappointing to invest a bunch of time in something only to see the problems that have existed in SS1, and all SS2 chapters haven't been addressed.
