How long does it take for caravan services to be added to a settlement once you have that plot set up?
 
That is IDEK's and Portable 1x1 from Super Structures add on cause they work like IDEK's if you have it installed it's all I ever use. Stock caravans are useless in comparison for me and my game.
 
They cause way to many redundant lines and don't connect over far enough distance. IDEK's will transfer food and water farther than standard but not your scrap sharing from the virtual storage
 
That part is tied to the empire system of SS2 and has a hard limit to how far it transfers in a caravan network. The distance a standard plot will hook is that distance.
 
What settlements I end up often depends on where Preston/Freedom Radio sends me.

So you do use both of them? Am considering it but am trying to figure out best way to us them without mucking up the caravan.
 
I do use them both but not in the same settlement. Some setllements I don't have the need to craft at so I use a portable. If I want access to my Master cloud I use an IDEK plot
 
Jeez, the problem is nothing has any damn power! Finally checked in Obeland Station and the recruitment beacon didn't have power (used a city plan). Added a generator and hooked it up.
 
Be careful city plans don't always come ready to go out of the box they sometimes require you to add basics like extra water and power. Also your immersion level setting matters too.
 
The main reason for me to use IDEK is it cloud storage system. I use Starlight as my Master Workbench. I don't use carry weight and am a hoarder I pick up EVERYTHING. So I just dump all my stuff in Starlight's workbench so I don't CTD from carrying too much stuff all the time and with IDEK's I can access that stuff from any workbench or crafting station where there is another IDEK station. It doesn't work (yet) like that with the Portables in Super Structures. The management tools that are in IDEK's rock. I like my caravaners traveling like the vanilla game not sitting around on the ass.
 
That's the beauty of IDEK's it will calculate the best route as you get things hooked up and you can recalculate it as things change. You can set priorities between settlements all kinds of neat things.
 
Yeah, I think I'll have to set up IDEK between Sanctuary an the Castle until I get it set up enough for the caravan to connect. Oh fun.
