Settlement Attacks?

[Deleted member 10215]

I just realised, I have not gotten a single "help defend settlement" mission at any settlement built using SS2 plots. I have, however, fast traveled there for other reasons and found a gang of Gunners or Mutants already mid-attack (and gotten the "thanks for the help" dialog with Generic Settlers) multiple times. Intended? I havent built a single Comms plot yet if that is relevant (feels like it might be - cant seem to even choose them on a no-Jake "story unlocks cheat" save)

I've had to go to the defense of a settlement once in a playthrough that totaled about 36 hours, and that was to Tenpines and before I had installed any Martial plots. The sheer, massive defense boost those give might make it so the game doesn't trigger the quest but still triggers the random encounter if you're in the area before it resolves.

I've only had one "defend" quest so far, but just like you I have had several cases where I fast travel in and the settlement is under attack.
