Caravan services

[Rayhne]

How long does it take for caravan services to be added to a settlement once you have that plot set up?

 

[Dune]

That really depends on when the scripts catch up. I recommend dipping into your Pip-boy menu and browsing a bit while everything in the background finalizes and everything is resolved to the current point. Once the script denoting that the Caravan Services is built and properly manned, it should easily have all the new caravan-related connections pop up in the HUD.

 

[Rayhne]

It's taking way too long for the connections to show up. Obeland Station has had a caravan station for days and it still isn't in the network.

Okay so is there a range limit between caravans and how go we know what it is? Without the connections, its screwing up my settlement plans , increased with the problem that new settlers are not coming into the affected settlements. Which means I don't have anyone to do farming or industrial. I was counting on the caravans (which is what they are there for!)

Mine starts working as soon as I man it. Before the build is even done my caravan is up and working.

 

[Din'elen DarkStar]

The range is short. Sanctuary to say starlight max

 

[Din'elen DarkStar]

It is important until you get a few settlement fully going that each settlement is self sufficient

 

[Rayhne]

Unfortunately I don't have enough settlers to make them self-sufficient at this time. I always used to work with the more prosperous settlements helping out with the new ones until they became self-sufficient. Which, you know, makes sense!

 

[Rayhne]

If there is a distance factor, why even bother with a caravan, since I have no idea when a settlement will be able to even use a caravan? I was hoping to avoid using both a caravan and a logistic station but it looks like I'm going to have to.

 

[Din'elen DarkStar]

Logistics Station my connect but still has a limit to the empire system.

 

[Din'elen DarkStar]

That limit is something you'll have to learn to work with in SS2

 

[Rayhne]

Yeah I know but I need to get supplies to the smaller settlements. As I said, for some reason those settlements are not getting settlers and I have none to space and 2 people can only do so much.

 

[Din'elen DarkStar]

It will connect but won't supply everything only to a certain distance. Food water sure but won't share scrap of too far away.

 

[Din'elen DarkStar]

The empire system is a limit of SS2 no matter what caravan plot you use.

 

[Rayhne]

Obeland isn''t hooking up so I'm assuming that there is another settlement I have to acquire before it will. I just have no idea what that settlement may be. Graygarden maybe?

 

[Din'elen DarkStar]

You may think things are working OK but you'll find they are not if trying to connect settlement too far from one another.

 

[Din'elen DarkStar]

Been trying to work out a true supply chain for 3 play through and finally figured out how to get to work.

I have farm settlements and industrial settlements however for the most part all my settlements are mostly self sufficient in food and water just in case anything like the power bug (Which happens a lot) makes a caravan plot drop off the network.
