Holotape Gameplay Options

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.
