If you gotten one to Level3, how many days did it take you to get there???

Curious, because I got like two Level2 cities and they seem to be level 2 for like, a long ass time.


Just asking in case it takes a really long time, or Im doing something wrong, or there's a bug thats preventing my cities from going to level 3.

Let me give you some stats on my first and oldest city.

Sanctuary: Lv2 - Codsworth
Population: 26(100% job plots)
Food: 14(100%)
Water: 72(100%)
Power: 33(89%)
Defence: 157(100%)
Beds: 28(100% Home plots)
Happiness: 89%(Max in all happiness stats)


Scrap: 100%
Backupwater/food: 0
Armory: 63
Deficient: 0
Surplus: 7414
Income:58
Cost: -112
59 Plots
ALL plots at Lv3

In-game days: 103
Went to level 2 around day 30 or so, low 30's. a few days after the patch was released to fix the lv0 city bug.
 
What is your level of involvement? I have my cities on pure auto and at 156 days in game I have 4 of 5 at level 3.

I think it's 10/20/30 days, but it might be 10/20/40, I'd have to check the scripts to verify
 
Isn't it also 90 happiness that's needed for level 3?
 
From what testing I've done, it was 10/24/44... But I wasn't recording the time of day, just the day. So, you're second number may be right @mytigio
 
aaahhhh, I see. Ok so it's on my end. Maybe I need to work on my happiness more. I have it on High involvement so I gotta do everything myself.

Well, when it gets to level 3, ima go on a deleting spread and start deleting a whole bunch of stuff that there for just visual reasons like fences, doors inside some houses and such to free up some FPS.
 
I just got back to Sanctuary and found it's level 3 now, after a fairly long time.

What I'm trying to figure out now is, is there any reason to keep the city leader (Codsworth, in this case), now that it's level 3?

Never mind, found the answer in the FAQ. Time to give Codsworth a new city to manage!

Oh. Are we intended to open a briefcase and dump a bunch of drugs into the donation safe on high involvement? I don't think the rec plots can get up to 260 bonus happiness on their own.

Yes.. drugs, food, water, armor, drugs, caps, drugs.
Oh, and chems. ;)

It should be, unless KG changed it, 10/15/20
So in "theroy" if all needs are met the plan should be at level 3 in 45 days.

260 happiness is just 2 level 3 recreational plots, just fyi.
 
I keep dumping nuka cola into the desk at Sanctuary, but it's still at lvl2. Do the plots have to be all at lvl3 as well for the city to upgrade? I'm waiting for Preston to finish Sanctuary, before I go liberate the Castle.

I have no idea when the upgrade to lvl2 happened, though

In my experience, you can just dump 20 colas (more if you want) and wait outside the city for 10-15 days. If your involvement is low, even if the colas run out they would have enough resources to stay at the 80 happiness zone. If this is not working for you, a helpful trick is to install we are the minutemen mod. It has a bunch of minutemen flags you can add that adds 3 to 5 happiness. Drop 4 or 5 of these and you'll be good to go. Do questing, or wait wherever. Within three to four hours (real time, you'll have your level3 from level2, especially if waiting doesn't lag for you. I made it upgrade within half day jst because my wait time countdown is so slow. Already have level three oberland station (added one flag that add plus3 happiness), castle (added a plus 5 flag and three plus 3 flag), jamaica (one plus 5 flag) and croup manor (I don't think I even added a happiness boosting item here, I pretty much left it alone (after dropping 20 nuka colas just in case and did a few radiant quests just because it wasn't as exciting as other cities).
 
I got Hangmans Alley to level 3, but I had to drug the hell out of everyone and keep that happiness up past 90. Use any happiness boosting furniture you can, and try to keep food and water at 100%. Ensure all plots are powered. That was basically it. And lots of waiting.
