Configuration Tools
Plot spawned and City Plan placed items will now affect the build limit in an approximation. This should help players on low - mid tier systems know whether they should risk continuing to upgrade or build more things.
The default build limits were put in place by Bethesda due to it being a known issue that building too much would crash the game. There is no native way to update the build limits which is why Sim Settlements can only do an approximation (though it should be a fairly accurate one).
Build Limit - Increase Max
Increases the max build limit of the current settlement by 25% (if you are over the build limit already, it will offer to first set the max to what you are using before increasing by 25%)
Build Limit - Recalculate Use
Analyzes your settlement and plots to figure out how much of the build limit you’re actually using and updates the meter.
Build Limit - Restore Max
Restores the max build limit to the original max determined safe by Bethesda.
Configuration Wizard
Performance Wizard
When you first load your game (post patch 3.1.6) on an existing game save, you will be asked to select your graphics settings (or Xbox model), you will then be offered to auto-configure performance settings based on what we found works best in testing. For new games, you will just be prompted to select your graphics level or Xbox model upon first loading the City Manager 2078 holotape.
Rebuild Local Data
Will force Sim Settlements to rebuild the maintenance costs, plot counts, and tax data. This is designed to help players who had previously run into a lot of script back-ups or other weird quirks that resulted in the maintenance or tax amounts not matching what is actually built in the settlement.
Refresh Local Plots
When you choose this tool, all of the building plots in the settlement you are currently in will be refreshed. This is the equivalent of using the Immersion Breaker Breaker on each plot or using the refresh plot option on an individual plots ASAM sensor menu.
Depending on how many plots (and your systems processing speed), this may take anywhere from 3-25 minutes. For instance a Xbox One (not S or X) user refreshing local plots in a settlement with 40+ plots could see this take close to 25 minutes.
You will see occasional on screen messages as this process is running letting you know how far along it is (e.g. Refreshing pot 11 of 17)
DO NOT leave the settlement until you get a pop-up message box confirming that all plots have been refreshed.
