I need help from a Conqueror and Industrial Revolution guru. I am currently doing Conqueror play through, and I am still in the early game. I set up Jammer at Starlight. It is one of the settlements where I chose not to have a city plan, and I have been building it up myself- almost exclusively with SS plots. I chose not to kill Preston (plan to side with raider fully when I'm forced to) and friends and started building up Starlight before I could take my first Raider outpost. We claimed it as our raider outpost and everything was good at first. Not perfect, as making Raiders happy is not as simple as settlers, but it was fine and on the rise. Then I took my first farm. It was Greygarden with a foundation level city plan. I went in with max raiders and I lost a lot of them in the fire fight (playing on a custom survival mode with high damage multipliers for everyone). The survivors stayed there, so now Starlight had Jammer, and like 4 raiders and the happiness just crashed.
I Played a bit more, gave him some recruiting supplies, and my raider count started to rise again at the Starlight outpost, but happiness remained about the same. I wanted to move the Conqueror plot further, and thought taking another settlement would make them happier, so I decided to take Sunshine Tidings for the raiders. That was when I realized I only had 13 raiders to use, and of course I took them all. The resulting fight was brutal and when I was done I looked around and realized there were 2 raider survivors. Starlight now had squat. I've gotten back up to 3 raiders + Jammer at starlight but now my happiness is 18%. I got it up to a wopping 23% but it has dipped again.
I have MORE than enough residential plots, some Industrial (advanced and regular), some Martial plots, and some Recreational plots. I've made sure to assign the raiders to jobs so they don't decide to work the two Ag plots. All of my bars are full, with the exception happiness which is at 18% again, and shows that it's going down still. Every time I get any chems or booze I put them in the recruitment bin. I am still stuck with terrible happiness and I am not attracting Raiders I am running a heavily modded game (it would take a bit to type the full list), but I built the mod list up one at a time and did a dry run and didn't have a problem. My big SS mods are the three in one, mega pack 1 & 2, Conqueror, and industrial city. I have several add-on packs, and a few city plans.
