Question Settlement with nothing costing caps in maintenance.

[Cassidy]

I just learned about the maintenance mechanic and decided to turn it on but then I realized my maintenance cost was very high like 28 for a settlement with around 10 plots so I replaced all the turrets with traps and all the generators with windmills and it was still 18. I decided to see if I just missed something so I did the scrapall command and it was still 18 so I thought it was possibly wages so I send everyone somewhere else and a totally empty settlement with nothing placed and no people was costing me 18. I slept and reloaded the game to see if it was just not updating but it was still 18. I tried all of these things with another settlement and it was left with a maintenance cost of 10 with no items, plots or people in it.

I'm stumped. I really want to play with this mechanic but I can afford to bleed out the caps lol.

When any numbers stick like that, there is an option in the city manager holotape which is useful. In the configuration section of tools, is an option to refresh settlement data. That should give the system a kick and correct things. Usually worth making sure you save before setting it going just in case, it doesn't tell you it's complete but it's quick enough that you shouldn't need to wait for a result.
