📋 About This Mod

Plotapalooza: a 48 hour event that I bumbled about in creating an add-on plan in.

The outcome from me: A 2x2 Martial plan - Recruitment Center (available when you gain access to the plot type in SS2 chapter 3 - used in Outposts)

Update 0. 2

If you like the look of the Level 3 building, I have made it available as a workshop object found under Structures > Brick > Prefabs

I have fixed a number of issues that were in the initial release.

  • []No more ghost flags when it first builds Level 2 and 3

    []Now has a couple of building stages, so no floating objects as it first builds

    []Fancy trim around the building has been included

    []There is navmesh... (read below)

    Update 0. 2a

    Seems I should not have put the mesh files in a data folder when I packaged up, as MO2 added in a new data folder in the game data folder. This resulted in the building being missing as the mesh wasn't where the game expected. Version 0. 2a has removed the data folder I had so all should be good. (Cheers LupusSapiens for letting me know!)  

    The navmesh is there, but I am not sure why, in my testing, that settlers were having difficulty actually going in the door.  They seem happy to use it once inside.

    The Workshop prefab seem a lot better than then plot.

    An ESL version? - Won't be happening sorry, as I intend to continue to add future plans to this add-on, and updates would cause incompatibilities if it was made an ESL
