Reset All to Defaults

Advanced

These options should generally be left alone. They are here to help with compatibility and save file issues. Safest bet is to leave these options default unless someone suggest you do otherwise.

Deficit Cap

Stockpile System

Use Original Plot Size

This option is there as legacy support for players who have settlements that were built with the very first version (1.0.0) of Sim Settlements (and who have stubbornly refused to rebuild their original plots) which used a very awkward, custom plot size rather than the standard 2x2.

So unless you know exactly what the "original plot size" means (and you really need it), just leave it OFF.

The change to 2x2 as standard came way back in patch 1.1.0 and no new building plans since then have even supported this original custom plot size.

Options: ON or OFF
Default: OFF

Plot Upgrades

By default, basic buildings will automatically upgrade as soon as they are eligible.

If changed to manual, basic building will now require your direct approval before they will upgrade. This can be done via the Plot Options menu, which is accessible by clicking on the ASAM Sensor on the plot post (or the post itself if you have ASAM Sensors Hidden)

Note: Plots built before patch 2.0.0 will need to be refreshed for the ASAM Sensor to be displayed.

Options: Auto or Manual
Default: Auto

Plot Upgrades Advanced

By default, advanced buildings (e.g. Advanced Industrial) will automatically upgrade as soon as they are eligible. They will randomly select one of the available upgrade options.

If changed to manual, advanced buildings will now require your direct approval before they will upgrade, which will allow you to select the type of upgrade to occur. This can be done via the Plot Options menu, which is accessible by clicking on the ASAM Sensor on the plot post (or the post itself if you have ASAM Sensors Hidden)
