📋 About This Mod

IMPORTANT:

Do NOT activate the city plan until you have completed Old Guns. Otherwise, you will break the quest and you will NOT have access to artillery! This is best practice for ALL Castle city plans.

A multi-leveled city plan designed to be a vanilla-adjacent, crisp, clean restoration of the Castle. Rebuilt walls by LVL 2. Build limit 400%. Supports 7/12/16/28 settlers. Self-sufficient with Power Transfer and Hospital for regional support. P. E. I. A. training for Advanced and Hi-Tech plots.

Featuring:

  • []Harvestable Hubflower, Bloodleaf, and Tarberry

    []Armor Vendor at LVL 3.

    []Artillery

    []Restored interior & exterior

    []Upgrading Power, Water, Martial, and Industrial plots (Basic, Advanced, Hi-Tech) as the City Plan progresses.

    []Perception, Endurance, Intelligence, and Agility training for Advanced and Hi-Tech plots at LVLs 2 and 3.

    []A memorial for Sarge

    []A name-and-shame marquee with pillories for all those naughty prisoners.

    []A decontamination arch at LVL 3

    []A Power Transfer Plot and Hospital to support the region.

    []Industrial Plots at LVL 3 to support the Minutemen (Flare and Ammo Production, Machine Parts and Rare Material Conversion)

    What's new?

    • []Balance! Junk storage, happiness needs, food/water/housing requirements all updated to ensure the plan is balanced and upgrades on default settings!

      []New areas! A corn field at LVL 1 upgrades into a large mess hall by LVL 3! A dock has been added for shipping and receiving. A small memorial has been added to honor the fallen. And the small lake has been updated to include tarberry harvesting!

      []Updated Add-Ons! Add-on pack requirements have been updated. Please make sure you install all requirements! A notable inclusion is Foxel's Far Harbor Expansion, which adds 1x1 Advanced and Hi-Tech Agriculture and Gwen's Settlers at Play which adds a 4-person Interior Relaxation plot!

      []Fixed Power Grid! The settlement power grid has been completely rebuilt and redesigned! This should eliminate any power grid crashes caused by collisions.

      []Bye bye duplicate plots!

    • Replaced beds with residential plots for balancing.

      It is STRONGLY recommended that you do not update to 2. 0 mid-playthrough. I have not tested what would happen if you did, but I imagine it would cause crashes from power grid corruption, because the power grid has been
