Resource costs and storage amounts.

So after playing for a few weeks and getting into the HQ build up I really think the whole resource thing needs to be reworked. I have around 20 settlements my resources look something like this
1 caps 450k
2 building materials 5k
3 bio/fuel 30k
4 rad/rare 30k
5 the one with the gears symbol ? 10k

my upgrades at HQ cost like 2500 building materials each and like 1-5k of the rest

personally I’d like to see this all reduced to about 25% or 1/4 of what it currently is and rework costs to reflect this this also includes the nearly impossible get 1k power using transfer power plots to HQ I can get like 161 using 5 settlements. I’d also like to see these reductions in the settlement side as well I’ve seen city plan upgrade costs be around 20k plus building materials. Wouldn’t it be a lot easier on everything if instead of 100k plus numbers it was reduced down into the more normal 100’s to maybe 1000’s tops for this stuff. I’m sure it would be easier for the tracking setup if all the numbers had a lot less 0’s as well.

this would also make the storage/defense options be more viable as well if instead of 30 storage crates and 250 defense only say 1 crate and 25-50 defense was needed. Personally the numbers feel bloated to such a large number, just to seem impressive on the screen when much smaller amounts that are more realistic for supposed to dumb to build without IKEA instructions settlers are the ones doing the work.

this is just my opinion on the system as somebody who has used and played the mod for a while personally I’d also like to see the number of people required to man HQ be dropped from like 75 to around 20 as well or maybe 25 say like 5 per department to have a fully functional department also reducing some of the strain HQ puts on the system when fully outfitted.
 
If you don't want to deal with console commands, I made this mod to adjust stats:
Until I read this, I did not realize you were the mod author. Thanks - with my current playstyle, it has improved my BoS game, but bubblegum :good
