    This is absolutely fantastic to see. Thank you so much for making this! I've been tinkering with SS2 since it launched, but I play exclusively on Survival mode. I've often wondered about why the towns wouldn't grow or random things like generators in other settlements were always broken even if never attacked. I will certainly be looking into this Automated mode so that I can enjoy this feature as much as I've been enjoying the storyline itself. Thank you and your team for all the hard work that you've done with this project and for the community.

    I used SS2 in automated mode a few times in the past. Mainly when I wanted a playthrough without having to build every shack, bed, and chair. Being able to use plots for my main settlement, and building plans for others, saved a lot of micro management.

    Wow, somehow I never knew SS2 had profiles. I play almost exclusively on Survival and I always wondered why it was so tough to keep my settlements running. Honestly I was underestimaging the complexity and configurability of the mod, still treating it like SS1 as you said and just using it to build cool stuff. So im thankful you made this series to demonstrare this, Automated mode (with maybe a few tweaks) seems very much up my alley.

    I've been playing with this mod since it launched and I only just now realized I've never once opened the holotape. I always play on survival and never realized why I was having so much trouble getting even a single settlement built up before diseases started ravaging everyone and plots wouldn't even build due to limited supplies (I know I can just cheat in scrap with the console but I like playing as realistically as possible). Gonna give easy mode a shot and if that ends up being way too simple then I might switch to the city simulator difficulty.

    A bit late to this party, but this is perfect for me. I'm not the best at PC gaming (I'm a *seasoned* citizen) and so I usually play Skryim, FO3/FNV/FO4 and now Starfield on easy mode. I get flustered a bit in combat and fumble the controls; the old digit joints aren't as nimble as they used to be. I played SS1 a LOT once I figured out I could automate settlement building, and I spent a lot of time figuring out how too much complexity would crash my gaming rig (Triangle of Death, etc.).
    Anyway I'm excited to be delving into SS2 finally, and just wanted to say a big THANKS!

    Something I was always curious about is if it's at all possible to have plots "disable" shrubs and grass under them like it happens in Fallout 76 during Camp building. It's really immersion-breaking when you walk into a house and most of it is occupied with tall grass sticking through floor. I'd imagine it is at least possible on some level, since Bethesda figured it out in Fallout 76.

      @@benjordansslave8002 I don't like the fact that you have to essentially trim entire world just so it doesn't poke through a few floors. And in some settlements even reduced amount of grass still leaves a lot of it around. Game looks so much better with *more* grass tho, so I'd rather buildings would just disable it when you place them on top.

    I just recreated my third longest played character from way back when. During that playthrough Transfer Settlements came out, then a week later Sim Settlements. I remember that character more than any of them because of all the stuff that was going on, including SS in Dustbowl (0.3). 6,500 hours in the game and I was having a hard time returning to F4. I can only imagine how many hours you have.

    Just installed this. I am hoping it will be good in VR. Vanilla Settlement building in VR is an absolute nightmare ( takes me up to 10 minutes to place a wall, it's so imprecise) So I am hoping that all organically grown settlements will provide me with an alternative. I found out that there were unmet dependencies - Workshop Framework. Then I found a version that works with Fallout 4 vr but now I just get a crash to desktop on exiting the vault in a new game.
