    Chapter 2 and Settlement Attacks

    Oh! Thank you, that means I won’t lose a settlement because I took too long finishing up somewhere! I felt like I was constantly crisscrossing the map

    Chapter 2 and Settlement Attacks

    This is my first playthrough of SS2, and it's also the first time where I am opting to do the vanilla main quest lines, aiming for a Minutemen ending (Railroad alive, I don't know what I'll do about the BoS). I went I think a little too far in chapter 2 relative to where I am with the various...

    Sim Settlements and Minutemen artillery question

    Yes! My Spectacle Island settlement was attacked today and there was a minuteman patrol that had just left - so I used the flare gun to get them back. Not only did they return, but they used the smoke grenades and I think the flaregun too! I don't think that there was artillery fire, as I...

    Sim Settlements and Minutemen artillery question

    Yes, I'm using the Moment's Notice Minutemen faction which works with We are the Minutemen, as well as You and What Army 2, which appears to be compatible with both. So far so good! The roaming and arriving minutemen are much more useful.

    HOSTILE TAKEOVER BUG

    I had the quest start in Sanctuary. For 15 minutes or so Wes's announcement would play every minute, and every few minutes 2-3 gunners would spawn by the workshop and promptly die (60 settlers!). I checked all 3 possible entrances, ran to the vault, and ran around the entire town w/o every...

    Sim Settlements and Minutemen artillery question

    Thanks! I'll make a pass at adding the basic artillery plots to my settlements!

    Sim Settlements and Minutemen artillery question

    I'm playing a sim settlements based game, and as usual I'm focused on the Minutemen and Railroad for factions. Normally I build and assign artillery in every settlement - but I'm hesitant to do that in this run, because I don't know if it will play well with the auto assignment of settlers...

    Listing Mayors?

    Is there a way to determine who has been assigned as a mayor, where, short of going to each settlement and writing it down? I am positive I'm reassigned mayors at least once already, and would prefer to avoid doing so again, but I'd also rather not maintain a written log if I can avoid it!

    Leader Packs/Plans and Next Gen?

    Thanks! I'm just wondering because I kept hitting mods where the game didn't even load, and now I've run into a few that seemed fine, but turned out to be non-functional with the May release. I'll just assume that whichever one I randomly selected is fine!

    Leader Packs/Plans and Next Gen?

    I've not played Fallout4 in a few years, and decided to start playing a new game, focused on Sim Settlements 2 (since I last played SS1). I made the mistake of trying to use Collections, and through trial and error figured out that they tend to be broken because of NextGen, so started instead...

    Fallout 76

    Apparently it was on sale for Black Friday. Ticked me off a bit I admit, but on the other hand it means my BIL is getting a bonus game for Christmas so I guess that's good too. I'm enjoying 76 for what it is - a pretty world with some new quests and co-op mode. I especially like the co-op...

    Safe storage during city build?

    I sometimes go into the bunker and leave things there too.

    What are your essential mods?

    Why are these mods all women. What about loving male companions! /grumble

    Settlers Not Going To Bed

    That is really helpful info! I frequently drop agricultural plots directly behind the house and never figured out that that was what triggered my stuck in place issues.

    Settlement Ambush Kit! Thoughts?

    Are any of you who are using these also using Mod Organizer w/separate profiles? I noticed that in the workshop menus the section for these gives a lookup failure. I see the same with interacting with the CC dogs so I think it's an issue with CC and Mod Organizer.

    Scrap accumulation and city upgrades

    It may be the scripts stalled. Try going to one of the settlements in question, donating some scrap, and then standing around for a little while to give the scripts a chance to catch up. When I've had a settlement that isnt' upgrading doing that usually has it start in after I fasttravel...

    Scrap accumulation and city upgrades

    It should take from your workbench - but I think it only checks the local bench so maybe it's not seeing what it needs. I tend to send to the settlement using savage beacon since that goes straight to donation. I usually donate about 500 at a time of wood/steel/ceramic. If you...

    Toggle Settler Protection Status

    Hmm, have you added any settler-focused mods recently? I suspect there are more than a few that change mortal status. I've also had some luck in using Better Console - with that installed I can click on a settler while in the console to see the last mod that updated it. That might help find...

    Is it just me or did FO4 make the Brotherhood complete assholes?

    The closest game I ever came to finishing the main quest line, my save corrupted as soon as I entered the Institute. This time I have added several quest mods, including Project Valkyrie. With the latter you can end up in control of all four factions, so I triggered the Prydwen earlier than I...

    Toggle Settler Protection Status

    In the meantime, Better Settlers has that option. Or Unique NPS. /edit Actually I think I may have misread your post. Are you saying that they started protected, and at some point lost that protected status? If so, is it happening with all settlement, all settlers, or can you narrow it down...
