Provisioner Plot.

I know IDEK has that plot already but i still think it can be done in a more balanced why and with a new idea.

Now you don't have access to the plot right away. You have to unlock it via bunker hill. Not requiring it just doing the quest to unlock the Trade caravan post. Once you unlock that you get a plot plan.
Level 1: is the trade caravan post.
Level 2: Chance to have one of the named traders show up so you can recruit them (rare rare chance to avoid unbalancedness)
Level 3: Now its connected to a trade network and auto caravans between the settlements.

What i like about IDEK is that it does streamline the provisioner thing since i have encountered lots of problems with the vanilla provisioner myself. But as stated having access to it so early does feel like it undermines things so i still use IDEK but later in the game to pace myself. I only use it once i unlock the Trade caravan Post. Only feels logical.
 
I really like the idea of a plot that serves as a trade caravan post.

I'm not sure about recruiting them, though. What would be the benefit of getting them off the road? Would they become Level 4 Merchants?

The idea is sometimes you never see those special level 4 traders. In all my time i've only met 3. and i was only able to recruit 1. The idea is that the plot has a chance to attract one of the vanilla level 4 traders. But a low chance.

Ah. I thought you meant Cricket and them. I have a hard enough time not shooting the creepy doctor as it is, I definitely wouldn't want him living in onbe of my settlements.
