I have a question about the SimSettlements2 building plans Keywords and tagging.

[xjc1wardx]

So, to preface this I created a mod that adds SS2 icons to FallUI for sorting building plans in the Choose Building Plans menu. In testing it, I noticed something I thought was odd. When I first unlocked power plants, Windfarms by ohnno was unlocked but had the icon for Advanced Power instead of Basic Power.
My question is what are the keyword like, SS2_Tag_BuildingPlan and SS2_PlotTypeSubClass_Municipal_PowerPlant_Advanced, used for?
How are the building plans associated with being unlock in the menus?

My question is what are the keyword like, SS2_Tag_BuildingPlan and SS2_PlotTypeSubClass_Municipal_PowerPlant_Advanced, used for?

SS2_Tag_BuildingPlan
All SS2 building plan Weapon records have this keyword. Its used when building the "choose a building plan" menu.

SS2_PlotTypeSubClass_<Class>_<SubClass>_<Tier>
This keyword denotes the specific type of building plan. It *should* follow the naming convention above.
IIRC, there is also a SS2_PlotType_<Class> keyword.

How are the building plans associated with being unlock in the menus?

The short answer is "technical." Its handled by some complicated script functions.

You might have better luck asking here:
