Foundation?

[MadGax]

If there are 3 levels to a city what is the foundation level supposed to be?

0 zero then 1,2,3.

Oops... should have looked more closely at forum section.

No shit!, I already know that the foundation is level 0.
What items go on the foundation level?

Considering this is in the City Plan contest area, that would be whatever *you* think settlers should have in the initial level.

As a general rule, when I build, it's 2 agricultural, 1 industrial, 1 martial, and 1 recreational plot, a city planners desk, and a water pump as the bare minimum.

Okay cool Got it!

This plus I place stuff to indicate where plots will go later on, to reduce the chances that the player might build stuff on their own in space that is going to be used later by the City Plan. Though personally when playing I try not to build anything significant until the City Plan is at Level 3 & maxed population.

As in my college physics class..... boom, a miracle occurs!

I plan to go with piles of raw resources with a few plots and a few things built up?
So the foundation "Current Level: 0" per the city details.
I have only ever played with sim settlements as a player and never built my own settlement and I have always thought there were only 3 city levels. Did that change, or have I not been paying close enough attention?
Last time I was attempting a contest build I was trying to make sense of why I needed 4 levels.
My apologies to @Geoff for just telling me the obvious.

The foundation level is what build immediately when you select that plan. Think of it like what you want the "vanilla" settlement to be when your settlers show up for the first time.

In my May build, that was basically the boat they sailed in on, the lighthouse & caretaker's house from the base game, and a blown out brick structure. I also left a plot of two that could've been something they built immediately upon landing out something left over from the Children of Atom.

For June, it's the priory house, greenhouse, and a few buildings I imagined to have been built sometime before the arrival of the Sole Survivor.

(Apologies if that's a rambling mess. I'm parked in a highway rest stop taking a break, so my brain's elsewhere.)
