IDEK's Logistic Station 2 and the ILS Resource Monitor

Hey folks,

I'm wondering if anyone here is familiar with the ILS Resource Monitor that is part of IDEK's Logistics Station 2 mod. The alerts to correct anomalies occur very frequently. Just now, I had the alert, and allowed it to fix it. As soon as I was returned, another alert immediately popped up. I allowed it to fix that one. Ten minutes later, I got another, then immediately another, and then my game crashed.

Is it supposed to occur so often? Is this more likely an issue with the IDEK mod, or some kind of goofiness going on at my settlements? The vast majority of the alerts are for Abernathy Farm, with the odd one for Oberland (and I think I had one for Sanctuary last night).

In your opinion, are these issues likely to work themselves out, or am I better off starting all over again?

Thanks kindly for your time and knowledge!!

Sadly, with the amount of resource reporting items that are being observed in several other forum threads I tend to believe that the underlying SS2 resource issues are causing the frequent IDEK popups. IDEKs popups are trying to assist with addressing when resource numbers go way out of the norm, for example the negative numbers. But since this (numbers fluctuating widely within the hud) appear to be a known issue with the underlying resource management system of SS2, I think IDEKs popup to assist might cause more harm than help currently. As it might cause more and more scripts to fire as you are teleporting between settlements chasing the rabbit.
 
Thanks, @ilmlp9147. I tried reverting back to a very early (just out of the vault) save on the character, and was seeing odd bugs that I believe have been fixed in more recent patches. So, I started a new game. I'll definitely keep your info in mind, as I understand that the ILS Resource Monitor can be turned off through the mod's settings.
 
I just usually ignore them and they work out fine. It usually means that one settlement is being drained by others for whatever reason. Plot needs, settlement needs overall etc. At least from what i have been able to discern. Sometimes however it can be an indicator that something is broken in that settlement and actually going there yourself and fixing it is better than teleporting for a sec. Also if too many happen at once and you do a fix all, the Fast Travel freeze is bound to happen.
