JtBryant's Dev Diary

None of my plots generate resources, I didn't think about that for upgrading the plots. @kinggath How do the Advanced Industrial plots handle upgrades when the plot doesn't generate resources.

Push come shove you could make it generate some useless item just for the purpose of marking the upgrade (make a miscitem "note" called "power bill" and it needs to build up 50 of them or something)

@JtBryant Question man. And I do not mean to sound like a begger. Can we get the Power and Water stations back? Pretty please.

the new mod has lots of power stations, just put in the new ones for that. Water I can't help you with currently, however the Advanced Industry from kinggath includes a Community Well that produces water
 
@JtBryant The upgrade material costs only come in to play if you set the BaseUpgradeMaterials on your path objects.
 
I threw this together in a few minutes to hopefully offer some ingame inspiration to you power plant creator folks. yeah, I know the conduit thing on the right is way too close to the center, there's a few of them that need to be tweaked to be more centered on the arm.

It's two telephone poles scaled down, a bunch of conduits scaled down, 2 shack supports and a couple of other doodads and thingies and a vault generator.

Total part count is 20, dunno on the vertices.

Hey JT or anyone I can't upgrade my Merc tent to a Minuteman lvl 2 even though i completed the first step forever ago. I refreshed the plot, but it always just opens a menu like i would select a new build plot, but nothing is in there. so it stays a merc tent. how do I get the upgrade choices to show up?
 
Oh, looking at the source I accidently add the lvl2 building to the lvl3 list, will get the updated version uploaded asap.
 
Well I checked right after installing and it didn't have the Minuteman option (I've only joined them so far, completed The First Step but not Taking Independence), I refreshed the plot and it still wasn't there. I am going to rebuild the lvl 1 plots and see what happens. maybe setstage to complete the quest again
 
yeah the setstage did it haha but now I have that quest stuck in my log and cheated to get a new settlement... let me play around with it tho

EDIT: Yeah to be precise, typing "setstage 11b36e 400" will get the upgrade to appear, as well as giving you free bottlecaps, xp, and a random undiscovered settlement workshop now under your control

oh and if you just use stage 400 it won't leave the quest in your unfinished log
 
I actually just tossed a bunch of random power looking things together in a way that sorta made sense. It's not actually a plot, it's a vault generator core with some stuff stuck to it sitting on a concrete pad.

You could build your own easily enough, just look at the pic for a reference.

The power connectors on the top are at 40% I believe, the arms are shack supports @ 50%. The telephone poles in back are around 40% too if I remember right.

It's mostly stock with a little help from Vault DLC and (I think) homemaker.
 
Hmm.. the update added the Brotherhood option for me, but still no minutemen option. I've only barely joined the brotherhood, and I just finished taking the castle, so I'm pretty sure something's still off :)

edit: used the setstage command as mentioned above. I was at stage 500, setting it back to 400, then to 500 again somehow convinced it to let me upgrade to the minutemen version.

You only get to use the minutemen plots if Garvey is your companion. If you dismiss him, they all revert to institute plots, because you are a traitor.

Also, I'm a liar and have no idea what I'm talking about, but still, I vote for that feature :D
 
So the stages are off for the minutemen plots? I pretty much guessed what stages were needed, I think I have an idea for a way to get the exact stage.

Edit: So I can't do it the way I intended, does anyone have a save where they have completed most of these quests:

The First Step, Taking Independence, Call To Arms, Shadow of Steel, Institutionalized, Mankind Redefined, Tradecraft, The Molecular Level

Siding with it's respective faction?

Just for your reference in troubleshooting:

So on Xbox my character is General of Minutemen (castle taken, etc), I'm in the brotherhood (just finished liberty prime build), in the institute (next task to go to meeting where I am named the next Director by father), in Railroad (started the institute part).

My upgrade options for the Guard tent:
- Institute
- Railroad

No Minutemen or Brotherhood.
