Scrap Everything. Scrap Everything ruined everything. It does bad things to how the game does things, and makes it almost impossible to get useful amounts of things. Additionally, Workshop Framework doesn't only load things at noon. It will work shortly after you arrive. I never noticed that because, instead of growing the crops, it just adds them to the workshop. I am not smart. I am adding this in and probably adding things to help search engines deframulate themselves so as to helpfully guide other poor saps this way.
I play a survival game. I need food. Settlements are the best way to get food. With Sim Settlements 1, I would roll into my settlement, pick my crops from the plots, gather dirty water, make tons of noodle cups with my bottles, grab my purified water from the workshop, and then roll on with my day.
Now that Sim Settlements 2 requires Workshop Framework, this is no longer the case.
I did some troubleshooting with a save game using ONLY the mods that SS2 needs to run: UFO4P, HUD Framework, Workshop Framework, and SS2. In that order. Those are all the mods I used.
I discovered that the crops will ONLY harvest if you are ACTIVE IN THE SETTLEMENT, not waiting in a chair or sleeping. They will ONLY harvest if you are ACTIVE IN THE SETTLEMENT DURING THE NOON HOUR. They will roll into your workshop spread out through the hour, not all at once. I tested again without Sim Settlements 2. This persisted.
What does this mean?
You MUST arrive in a settlement before 1200 and wait until approximately 1300. Otherwise, you get ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Going around to all the settlements to gather resources will take well over an in game week to visit everywhere and trigger a harvest.
Additionally, I increased the amount of water I produced for an eleven person settlement from twenty to eighty-six. When the Noon hour ticked over, I gained six purified water. Six. Six water. Only six water. I cannot impress upon people how absolutely frustrating that is. It is unplayable. It is entirely too broken.
Is there a plan to change this? Is there a way to make it so that we can harvest crops instead of burning half the daylight waiting for Unnamed Settler Number Three to get the lead out and get me that razorgrain?
