I can’t play Starfield because of this mod. All I think about is how much better the game will be after you and the team get a hold of the toolkit!

Agreed. Same. I got 20 hours into starfield and was bored, and returned to SS2 on fallout 4

Haha same, just can't believe after fallout76 and sim settlements what we got in starfield was shit, it's even more bare boned than fallout 4, and after all the cool prefabs and different wallpapers and wall kits from 76 I had high hopes for starfield, but yeah you guys know what we got hahahaha

This has saved me from HOURS AND DAYS of looking through Nexus for settlement blueprints that only turned out to never work or not load properly regardless of what I did. You guys are Goddamn LEGENDS AND HEROES! Please keep up the amazing work. I like to build normally, but after a while I started just downloading what others had. I might design something myself for this!

I think on the wiki for companions it should when u unlock them as a unique leader because I can use codsworth immediately but I can’t use anyone else (even Preston after taking castle) I think this could clear up some confusion for console users because we don’t get console commands do force do it and I tried waiting a few in game hours doing quests

@noobkilerv2 7 ай бұрын

I was hoping this would explain how to get the electricity requirement for the HQ quest with city plans. I'm using the completely automated preset but I still need to set up power distribution plots at all my settlements. Given how built up the ROTC plans can get, that's easier said than done.

@familydog 7 ай бұрын

Find an industrial plot and change it to a power plant if you don't have one. Then change a different industrial plot to a power transfer plot. If you need more industrial plots, find one you don't need and change it to industrial under customize plots. It took me a while to figure this out, too.

@Kilo1158 7 ай бұрын

You need to change one of your industrial plots to power distribution. You can usually swap out your water industrial plot to accommodate for this without going red on water. Otherwise you will need to swap some other plot type to industrial - power distribution.

@s.k.6100 7 ай бұрын

So first, they're wrong. The Power Transfer plot is a municipal (orange) plot. Second, I asked KG in one of his xbox livestreams and a channel mod suggested that I unlock Vault 77's nuclear reactor. Build 2 of those and a power transfer plot. V77 *should* be close enough to HQ without upgrades for the transfer distance AND each reactor is 500 power. 2 will then satisfy the power requirement. Additional note: KG mentioned that due to how scripting and the engine calculates needs and resource production, the numbers get pretty random and wild. That's why the suggestion of V77 is helpful. If you have no other plots, that should be a quick way. Sleep for a few hours and let the game recalculate. I guess you could also force the mod to recalculate with a city planner's desk. I would just be careful and not have other cities with the transfer until after HQ gets it's power requirement first

@familydog 7 ай бұрын

@s.k.6100 Correct. I meant municipal, not industrial. My mistake. Otherwise, what I said works. It has been tested and duplicated at all of my settlements.

I uninstalled FO4 immediately after I beat the main story, about two weeks after it released. Every once in a while I've reinstalled it to try again with some mods but I've always uninstalled after a few hours, until I started playing this mod a few days ago. I've been blown away by the settlement management system (my least favorite part of vanilla), the great writing, voice acting, and they way the quest line has been worked into the game. I'm very impressed and I haven't even finished it yet.

You don't even have to drop off supplies. They will make their own supplies from industrial plots. It's basically Sim city. You can be super involved if you want or just set a leader and let them do it all themselves.

Hey kingath. I play on xbox and chapter 2 seems buggy, for one i noticed alternate or less popular choices may be bugged. Like not choosing to side with algeron. In a later mission. The quest expects him algeron to be there, but because you djdnt choose to side with him, hes not there so its not advancing. Also whrn you invade gnn. You cang kill berman, for whatever reason he is essential even after you engage dialogue to kill him. He cant die. So your forced to spare him. Are these known bugs or do i have a bad play through. He

@kinggath 7 ай бұрын

I'm not aware of either of those issues - but could definitely be bugs we need to resolve. Like you said, less popular options, so possible folks with those issues just haven't gotten their reports seen by anyone who can act on them. Best move would be to check our forums to see if anyone else has the issue. I'll bring it up to our testing team though.

@gggggg3912 7 ай бұрын

@kinggath don't know if I had mods that conflicted. I also Uninstaller and installed mods in my playthrough and i heard that could potentially mess up scripts. But I don't think its your mod. I really love it. But right after I got into chapter 3 a save somehow got corrupted and because it was Xbox I couldn't delete the corrupting files. So I had start a new play through.) (I had to force myself into chapter 3 invading gnn. because of that algeron bug I encounter But onething that did happen. (Don't know of it's related). But that lady for the commonwealth trading company (big one I can't remember). Well after meeting her for the meeting after your done with nightingale. The dialogue finished, the quest didn't progress. It was stuck even after the conversation finished. And then my game crashed(typical f04 feature) and I could even load into the main menu. Tried everything and had to delete all my saves. But most likely this is Todd Howard's fault and not yours. Your mod is epic. And even with the bugs, understand this a huge project.

@Skenderbeuismyhero 2 ай бұрын

You have to do quite a bit of the mom's questline to really get into building with it. I've been playing while also playing the Minuteman quest line and it's going quite well. I believe that when you assign someone to the desk then they become the mayor, there's also an option to change or fire the mayor if you click on the desk.
