^^ Might be because I'm not native English speaking, but the message vanishes to fast for me.

Thanks for considering and 5 Stars for Sim Settlements!

I also think that the messages are a little too fast. If its possible (at a code level) to change how many seconds the messages are displayed, would be cool if the player could adjust as desired as a MCM/holotape option.

I believe i have read that the time cannot be changed. However it would be helpful if messages are shorter.
In example: "Sanctuary: New residential", "Red Rocket: Comercial upgrade", "Abernathy: Agricultural Started"

Note: Now messages are something like "A settler has started a new residential plot in Sanctuary"

Or just change message type to pop up.
Only issue there is ok'ing the message when transferring alot of inventory, or doing something and the message pops up at the moment you're about to press A (ox xbox)

Thank you, but not an option - it's the worst thing to have a pop-up in the middle of a battle.

The message times can not be changed unfortunately. As far as changing the message content to be shorter, that would be great content for a separate mod! Any of you have my permission to make such a thing. Editing message records like that won’t cause any conflicts like editing many other things.
