"Plotting the Future" - Agriculture, Start Me Up, Concord, what worked for me and what didn't.

Patch 1.0.0e Might have fixed this since I was experiencing these problems mainly on 1.0.0d, If you're still having the same trouble then consider my solution.

Before I was using Start Me Up and a few times went to Concord before I had planted the Radio Beacon. The Stranger would spawn, talk to me, go through the first ASAM but he was missing the animation. Then he talked about his shop and I let him know I took out the raiders already. We both went to a cleared Concord, then back to Sanctuary and it was then that I ran into the problem of Plotting the Future not working as he wouldn't do the animation or progress the agricultural plot.

So, I got rid of Start Me Up, went through the game with the vanilla opening, put the beacon down first, then when the Stranger arrived and I put the first ASAM down he actually did the animation and the plot progressed and finished. Shortly afterwards we went to Concord (He's a much bigger help than Dogmeat if you have difficulty mods installed), then after his short celebration he got me the other ASAMs and this time when we went back, his animation and progress on the agricultural plot went through and fully finished, then we moved on to the Industrial plot, worked like a charm and then I got to use the other ASAMs to build up Sanctuary before I had to get some sleep.

So, in summary:

1. (If you're using Start Me Up) Try putting the Beacon down first instead of going to Concord.

If you followed Step 1 and after Concord the Agricultural Plot still won't progress, proceed to step 2.

2. Uninstall Start Me Up if you have it and go through the Vanilla start up.

3. Don't go to Concord first, put the beacon down and go through the steps with The Stranger and then go to Concord with him.

TLDR: If you're starting a new game and having trouble getting "Plotting the Future" to go even beyond the Agricultural Plot part. Test with Start Me Up by putting the beacon down first then go to Concord with the Stranger. If the agricultural plot still won't progress then uninstall Start Me Up and start a new game where you place the beacon down first before going to Concord.
 
I put the beacon down first anyway, then go to Concord. I had no issue with doing it the other way around. Still, was fun to clear out the raiders with the stranger and hear how amazed he was at the power armour I was wearing.
