Issue with building plots

Most of my settlements are building their plots with no problem but a couple settlements are short on materials to build the plots. I can't get the industrial plots to build so they can't collect materials. I was trying to find out how to donate supplies but couldn't find the option on the city planners desk. Should I try destroying those plots to see if they will rebuild something that require less material?

To donate you activate the Safe kind of drawer under the desk itself. There is also the setting in holotape/MCM to allow them to pull resources from the Workbench.

I believe I have "pay costs from workbench" set to on. I might have to go find some supplies to donate. I have all my settlements in a supply line but I will guess that won't help.

Yeah, if it still isnt building with that switched on (it defaults to on) you must be completely out of whatever it wants.

Supply lines, vanilla ones only share food water. You need Caravan plots to share resources. But it seems something might be wrong with that mechanism right now where my Cities aren't pulling the resource for an upgrade past level 2 of a city plan from the network.

I feel like I might be having the same issue (?) except I am not using Vanilla lines, I am using IDEK v. 2. For example, the lines will allow me to build things like walls or whatever, but some of my settlements are saying that there are not enough building materials for some plots even though they're all hooked up? Wonder if I missed a setting somewhere...

How much does the HUD up in the top right say you have of the 'virtual resources'? Even the most basic plot tends to cost in the vicinity of 100+ total resources.

Almost 25000 but a local settlement might be all resources are at zero even though I'm hooked up to the IDEK network. Like I said,m I can still build things fine.

Is this a separate issue?

As long as the "Caravan Link" is correctly active (which the numbers on the HUD suggest it is), Plots should be able to pull their required resources from anywhere on the network. That sounds like something else is going wrong to me. I don't use IDEK's Logistics Stations, though, so I can't help out much more on that front.

I have a a network of 12 settlements now all running through vanilla supply lines and afraid to use the caravan plots on SS2. I have trouble getting my provisioners to show up with the town gavel so I'm afraid of screwing something up if I set them up.
