More types of 1x1's

1x1's plots are my new jam and I'm loving the homes and industrial ones and of course the Martial. The thing I am noticing is that there aren't any 1x1 farms, indoor residential plots and a few others. Are these in the mod and I have simply not unlocked them? Are they coming? Because if I could build an entire settlements with tiny plots that would just turn my key. I could go nuts in Hangman's alley!
 
I’m not sure how many creators will be super interested by creating smaller plots, the tendency in SS1 for addons was a lot more often oversized than undersized. It’s easier to craft cool stuff when you have more space. But I am expecting some creators will take on this challenge and we’ll see at least some 1x1 options soon enough in addons for all types of plots.

As for 1x1 interiors, SirLach is working on porting his old addon to SS2, it used to have 1x1 plots using regular size interiors. It was a bit of work but I became so reliant on it I’m waiting for it to start a new game. I do not know if there will be a new format for his 1x1 interior plots or if it will be identical to his SS1 addon though.
 
All it takes is one person. I was also more asking if they were in the current mod already as opposed to someone having made them. I could probably make them myself now that the kit is out, but once I start modding a game It turns me off playing the game and I want to play first. I'll mod when I'm tired of playing. If there are never more tiny plots, I'll not be fussed. shrugs And there are always interior plots. I'm a big fan of compact spaces and verticality. There are so many mods to expand settlements, Id like a mod to make them smaller. I like the challenge of ridiculously small spaces.
 
As I said, I’m expecting some to take on the challenge. Just not the majority. Uituit has a hard time fitting some of his plots in 3x3, I don’t even want to see what would happen if he tried a 1x1.

I’m like you, I really want more compact plots. Between sirlach’s intimate interiors and junk town’s hobo plots (ok so uituit can make compact plots too) I’ve become very reliant on undersized plots. Since for now most addons are conversions of addons that didn’t use those sizes we don’t have many options. But some add-on makers will fill in those gaps soon. I’m not worried. With everyone getting their hands on the tools at the same time, we’re about to see a flood of new content very soon. This is gonna be an exciting time!

That was because the 1x1 plot size did not exist for anything but martial in SS1.
 
I have some ideas for 1x1 residential plots. As I am totally new to modding I wasn't sure where to begin.
Since the new creation guide has been released (I have it downloaded already just not the time to start going through it yet) I hole to be able to fill that niche.

I remember some of the old interior plots were designed to work in smaller spaces, not taking up the whole plot. I will also be experimenting with things like that as well.

LOL, could you imagine a uituit 1x1 XD. but yeah, I'd love to see it happen. I am curious to try and make some plots, just for the sake of trying, who knows what I may come up with. I'll kick around with it after Finals
 
I am very interested to do more 1x1s, but thinking about what I want for 1x1 farm, residential & a few others. It's different from what we're used to design wise. For others' ideas for this, I can try to make it if you provide as much detail about it as possible. If I have a really clear plan & can clearly visualize of what it'll look like I can make it reasonably quickly. Given that there are none for many 1x1 type/classes, I think some simpler designs might be okay.

The nature of the SS2 balance & mechanics like Caravan & Communications distance limit means we'll want to use the smaller settlements such as Hangman's Alley and in order to fit plots to cover all the bases, it would require 1x1 & Interior plots. For this reason the first SS2 plots I made were 1x1 Caravan & 1x1 Communications.
 
I actually was going to use 1x1 as my "experiment" space to learn how the tools work - was literally thinking about designs just before spotting this thread.

I'll come up with some ideas for 'pocket' farms and maybe even tiny shops and let you know.

Love this idea, I think I am going to attempt it
Thanks!

I had an interior one that was a butcher as well.

I think a lot of times you modders just run out of inspiration and something liek this can give you that spark.
You could use the butcher idea for a 1x1. Think of Polly in Diamond City.
 
1x1 farm plot concepts.
The outhouse turned mushroom farm. (Either classic wood or port-a-potty versions)
A mutfruit bonsai greenhouse.
Bathtub farms for building locations without dirt.

Here is a design question. Should the 1x1 tiles produce less than the 2x2?
They both require 1 worker but they don't take up as much space.

I was thinking maybe slightly less (like 2 base production instead of 3, or something) and with less cost in terms of Materials from the Virtual Workbench to build/upgrade?
 
I'm glad I posted my question. Really looking forward to those plots Uituit. I made some drawings and sent one of them to Versus. I may not be able to make plots myself, but I can draw out what's in my head if that helps a designer make them.
 
making plots isnt so hard ;) u should check out the toolkit sometime ,may seem a lot but its easy after a while :)
 
Very nice ideas! Perhaps tomorrow I'll start to try doing one. Perhaps I'll end up being able to do several mentioned here.
