It was great seeing all the entries for the challenging settlements last month! This month is the complete opposite where you have the opportunity to build on huge canvasses!

PSA: We have seen in the past that it is easy to get very enthusiastic early on with these large settlements and then after many hours working on it get into trouble with the build limit and then suffer from disillusionment/rage quitting! They do have allot of room to build but there are still limits. And remember the build limit indicator in these settlements can get "wonky" (That is an official technical term!).

Requirements:
  • The settlement must have a City Planners Desk and a Beacon.
  • All city plans must contain all 4 levels.
  • To encourage MAXIMUM CREATIVITY we will not be imposing any other restrictions on entries.
  • Please use the Contest Holotape and check your settlement before submitting. Entries with Purple/Illegal items will be ineligible.
Please note: If you don't want to post your entry to NEXUS you can post it within the Entries forum!

The forum for the October 2021 competition can be found here.

Competition Entries Close on 11:59 PM CST on the 28th October, 2021!
 
Entrants, please note the following information for this months contest.
  • Vault 88 entrants. Vault 88 contains it's own recruitment beacon. You do not need to build a beacon for Vault 88.
  • Spectacle Island entrants. You are recommended to avoid building out towards the extremes of the settlement boundaries. Parts of the island will unload from memory, as you travel around the island. These areas can be missed when exporting or building your plans. Everything on the island proper should be fine. Water based structures may not be. You are strongly recommended to export from next to the workshop.
  • All entrants, but Vault 88 entrants especially, you are recommended to use the cinematic markers in each level of your plan this month.
  • Spectacle Island is huge and the default flyby can produce significant "popping" effects as parts of the island load and unload.
  • Vault 88 is underground, and the default flyby - does not produce attractive results underground, and under some circumstances can crash, producing unusable footage. Using these markers will allow your plan to have an attractive flyby, and will enable your plans to produce useable footage.
