Hopetown - New Dawn

Hopetown – New Dawn is a full overhaul of Hopetown and the Pit Stop, designed to make the city finally feel like a real, functioning industrial settlement.

I’ve always seen Hopetown as a rough industrial settlement, filled with  shady deals, outcasts, and people who don’t ask questions, the kind of place where bounty hunters, smugglers, and backroom business naturally thrive.

BUT, when visiting vanilla Hopetown, the conclusion is :

• []NPCs are literal clones

  []Very little population overall

  []The Pit Stop bar is almost completely empty

  []No real infrastructure to support a large workforce

  []An empty hangar with no workers

  []A Hopetech lobby with no customers

  This mod is my most ambitious and time-consuming project so far, aiming to address all of these issues and bring Hopetown to life.
