    My Diary Building The Commonwealth

    So I have started building 2 new settlements to separate out water and storage. Water in Nordhagen with a hotel to house residents. It will be a congested settlement, though I would try to make it very green. Storage will be in a fortress like settlement, obviously due to extreme defence...

    Here are some pics from red rocket: The front. Yep, its a congested hell. I can understand the frustration that bald guy is taking everyday... As you might observe, the plots actually encroach on the path, this was intentional to have this unusual arrangement and challenge. Hospital...

    An update after so long haha. Sanctuary changes: I have decided to move water to zimonja and industry to sunshine. Overall sanctuary will be farms and power. Pop: 100 Abernathy needs some protection so am gonna shuffle some people to have some 5-6 people there. Pop: 3 Red Rocket is now very...

    Just worked a bit on Zimonja and removed the second layer of the beam facade. The top floor with external plots is another necessary evil due to abject lack of training internal plots for some skills. I will be making that sunshine pipe settlement into a manufacturing hub with industrial set to...

    So here is my rendition of red rocket, a closed enclave with a ring of plots on the outside and a congested space for residents inside a walled square. The wall also serves as the holder for a conduit based electric grid. All resources are taken from the caravan network so there are no farms...

    My Diary Building The Commonwealth

    Some parts of sanctuary that I completed some works on. My CnC centre and obviously my home in this town. Its a 3x3 with the mayor/desk and mama murphy at first level, storage and consoles in second and bedroom at 3rd. Completely built from BOS set of SOE pack, the ascent is managed through...

    My Diary Building The Commonwealth

    Today I remodelled the entry area of Sanctuary, making a more stepped ascending incline. This was to curb settlers ending beneath and also to increase some real estate for more of the green. Previously this was a 3x3 area on both sides of the path. Now I reduced it to 3x3 right, 1x1 left and...

    Settlers can't use multi-level structures

    Even I do not use the HD DLC. I am big on texture replacers that I create merge mods to attain my ideal. You can try Performout for that, there are 5 editions and so you can choose which one you want. Its a complete replacement. I suggest equilibrium variant. Check me out building the...

    Done, unfortunately

    I am not going to try and prove its worthiness because I have learned to live without it and my load order for whatever reasons is the stablest I have seen ever, I am not going to change it. If you want, you can try it yourself but if you do not have issues with crashes then why even discuss...

    Done, unfortunately

    Its just my observation, you will make your own mind on this. I have not gone into a fervent discussion with anyone, just reading discussions of very experienced modders, who have had a hand in partly building the fallout 4 mod ecosystem. So I trust their judgement even if they don't tell me the...

    Settlers can't use multi-level structures

    I am not a many settlements builder but rather big settlements builder without city plans. My current play through has reached 120+ settlers, 400+ plots, with the three settlements in triangle of death and zomonja. Currently developing another mega settlement at sunshine. I have faced many of...

    Done, unfortunately

    The consensus i have built with AWKCR haters is simply that the mod is very old and not in active development, thus any eventual bug discovery will go unnoticed. Having such a crucial part, a framework, in such a state is bad business, thus, must be avoided. As you said ECO stack already...

    Done, unfortunately

    We are not debating whether one is a shooter or not but whether your weapons really require AWKCR. Even I have many weapon and armour mods, yes not one is older than 2020, still none of them require AWKCR. So its redundant these days and can be safely removed. In the past it was a necessity...

    Work continues... I simplified it a bit after finding lack of angled pieces. Picture it with plots lining the pipes to make a shanty town of sorts.

    You misunderstand Baka, it does not fix anything, it increases the memory limit allocated to scripts. Things just run better with more headroom, the flaws of script architecture remain. Buffout is and was never intended to do anything about increasing memory limits. The benefits you get with...

    Done, unfortunately

    They both do not work the same way. Though they do conflict as Buffout changes memory allocators while Baka Scrapheap works with native allocators. That's why the confusion people experience using it and seeing it not working as advertised. You will have to disable some of the allocator changes...

    My Diary Building The Commonwealth

    A lot of work is still left like supports and foundations. The angles and curves are there to both make it challenging and random. Usually I do systematic builds with patterns to make easier. This will force some irregular ones while still making them reusable. I am making it so that the pipes...

    My Diary Building The Commonwealth

    Making a large pipe built nowadays. There is serious lack of building pieces which results in issues in placement but oh well, I can make it work. I want to go with a large agricultural build again but maybe I'll introduce some industrials as well. Its just that the vision I was going with had...

    Mods role in settlement building

    Ah, I forgot, people like me who only do free builds are a rare breed, haha. Regardless, you can't mix, free buildable area with a city plan as far as I know. So a settlement can be free build or it will use a city plan.
