Today I Learned (screenshots v2)

So it puts the Caravan Plot in this City Plan half over that little pond in the middle...

Today I learned that the Pack Brahmin on those plots are mortal.

Why is this guy so freakin' small? He's barely even up to Default Nora's shoulders. That's outside the normal variance range for Settler height as far as I know, and I'm not running any mods that should change that...

"Wasteland Cannery" (pra's Random Addon, High-tech Agricultural 3x3) looks like it was meant to go in Sunshine Tidings. Fits the aesthetic of the unscrappable buildings perfectly.

Every time I use this plan I fast travel in and have a dead cow or it’s under the plot mooing at me, maybe somebody needs to edit this city plan to save the brahmin.

Indeed they have a hard time due to their placement right above radioactive water. I had a habit of refreshing the plot

only fix i can see working is instead of the wood stilts use something that has a solid base for the foundation, but that would remove half the pond there so not sure if that viable for everybody.
 
I don't normally play as Nate (this particular save is from the beta testing of HQ2.0, I was just clicking through character creation as fast as possible), but I discovered that the new sidequest added with "The Big HQ Patch" includes a male "flirt" Perk Check using "Lady Killer".

Apparently that line works? The voice actor sounds... outright bored delivering it
 
Is it just me, or is Mansfield trying to pose to look more MANLY to impress Gremlin here?
yes i know its just some weird animation/pose derp

And no, I don't know why my HUD is still in MAXIMUM DETAIL mode despite me not being in Build Mode; it does that every so often
That amount of Asbestos in V.Storage is starting to get a little worrying tho - need to find something to start consuming that

Mama Murphy has 19 STR. If you never build her chair, she'll work all day(if you do, she becomes useless).
If you give her enough drugs she dies it’s one of my favorites, after she dies June and Marcy become useless just stand around looking at her dead body and cry. I nuked a whole settlement because of this 3 a few times. Also if you build her chair in midair she will be floating over the settlement and occasionally fall out of the chair love messing with mama Murphy and jun and Marcy.
 
There is MEANT to be a setup that makes them start using "higher happiness" lines the more of HQ you have build, or so I was told, but it never seems to activate for me either, and everyone keeps kvetching about the place despite it bring the nicest place in MA at that stage.
Yeah, I remember seeing that stated. This, however, wasn't just "random settlers reacting to happiness level." This was an instance of an active companion interjecting during actual dialogue. Jake had just floated the "Hey, we should keep this building and make it an HQ" idea.

Oh, right! I honestly forgot that was even a thing, I usually roll without an active companion with me (that "Lone Wanderer" perk is OP as heck) - or if I do it's Ada, who never joins in on conversations like that.

I've been taking some of them with me for various reasons. In Cait's case, a side quest (from Haylen, I believe) was sending me to Vault 95 anyway, so I figured I'd do Cait's quest while I was there. Otherwise, I've been taking companions to get their perks and to try and experience their interjections. The above was a time where I actually realized "Hey, I should screenshot this."

Can those 3 die from disease if activate the option?
