📋 About This Mod
Please be sure to have a read through the Issues section below
The settlement is designed with specific plots chosen for their access points, themes and have structures built around them to suit a particular plot.
Please ensure you have selected Designers Choice ON in the options and have the Add-On packs I have used. You'll find a list of them at the bottom of this description, they are incredible so don't forget to send them your appreciation too!
Some plots are set to begin at higher plot level in the Foundation city plan - to get these you will need to select Starting Plot Levels ON
NOTE on update:
Version 1. 1 is the same as 1. 0
The only difference is that version 1. 1 has been compiled with the latest version of the web compiler.
Version 1. 0 was compiled with an older version that did not include settler count for each level, and changes in the way city plans are now handled meant a bug could cause the settler count to be too low on these earlier compiled plans.
Settlement Overview
Finch Farm has progressed from just piles of scrap to a bona fide Scrap recovery and processing.
Why spend time carrying the scrap when you can float a barge up the Boston Rivers, load up and bring all that valuable scrap back to be sorted and processed. (Industrial focused settlement).
Foundation Level - 10 settlers
1 Agricultural, 3 Industrial, 2 Municipal, 1 Commercial, 2 Martial
4 Recreational and training (STR, END, AGI)
8 Residential (2 dual occupant)
Level 1 - 14 Settlers
1 Agricultural, 5 Industrial, 2 Municipal, 2 Commercial, 3 Martial
6 Recreational and training (STR, END, AGI)
12 Residential (2 dual occupant)
Level 2 - 18 Settlers
2 Agricultural, 7 Industrial, 2 Municipal, 3 Commercial, 3 Martial
7 Recreational and training (STR, END, AGI)
15 Residential (3 dual occupant)
Level 3 - 22 Settlers
2 Agricultural, 11 Industrial, 2 Municipal, 3 Commercial, 3 Martial
8 Recreational and training (STR, END, AGI)
18 Residential (4 dual occupant)
ISSUES - Please Read!
Defense and Junk Storage
Junk Storage has a defense requirement - however any city plans not set to Full Involvement setting will still upgrade. Large city plans with a lot of objects require a heap of junk storage.
This plan does not cover the junk storage defense requirements (I didn't want to spam lots of martial plots).
I suggest you turn OFF the "Junk Storage Req
