INCOMING! VERSION 4.0 FRIDAY (12/20/19)

Question for the experienced conqueror players with the new mechanics.

So I am doing the latest prebuilds and will be up in the nexus hopefully by noon CST.

City building is the easy part. The question is about the pre conquered settlements. And whether there is value in doing these and or integrating with the cities.

For example, I dont prebuild in some settlements as they are problematic such as starlight.

Would this be a good candidate for a preconquered settlement? If no city, will there be raiders just milling around or is starlight empty until some quest completion?

I am envisioning a group of raiders would be hanging out, waiting for the player to win along, take over and build a war desk?

If someone could explain how this works in terms of integration, i may include in my next release. If it makes sense.

Yes only raiders. Base game. Not hurssingnoyher factions. Maybe next release.

Thanks.
John
 
Haha. Scratch the noon CST.

Nora is done, but someone asked for Nate.... sigh. :)

It will be this evening (2hrs each x 4)(3 Masters to showcase) ....
 
you are doing good work here my friend. More power to your elbow and thank you for doing this.
 
Slight delay.

The prebuild with Myramachne failed. City sing says level 3. Zero population. Nothing on island. Not a single item rendered.

Hope not a sign of future... @uituit

NCGOWDY AND KYTHNIABARNES worked fine.

NCGOWDY pushed my system down on ultra from 60 fps commonwealth wide to about 32 to 35... pretty sure it is not a 2x build lol.

Yes it would be perfect for that. But you could just as easily have liberators there if you happen to have those sort of packs installed, as you can't choose what faction goes where (for now).

@uituit @kinggath @Myrmarachne

Houston - We've gotta problem up here.

Okay, 2 for 2 failures using the Tribe in a prebuild in the vault. Nothing is rendered, should be level 3 with whatever 100% settlers per setup of Conqueror launch. The Island and Seafaring worked just fine.

Need to retry Myrmachne's city plans into the city contest plan mod.

I will post version 4 with only the winner and one All Settlements like normal for Nora tonight. Work on Nate after.

When we can get this sorted out, I will post the files for both finalists.

Does it build ok if you don't use the prebuild ?

Didn't try. I didn't think you wanted to have pre-builds and then not have one of the Masters not work. I won't post it as a pre-build if it doesn't work.
 
did you use the esp or esl for ur build
 
hmm in testing it built fine.It should work ,Sirlach and myself have tested the city plan, he is retesting now just in case.
 
Okay, I tore it down, tried NCGOWDY and it built. Tried Myrmachne again, no dice.

I can try to build all from desk and verify.

What's the command to unlock next city level. I can do this and verify all the plans. right now it looks like no assets for the .json for Myrm's.

John

PS - sorry didn't get back quickly. I had to spawn in nuka grenades to kill the creatures because at level 1, I don't have much killing abilitlity… hahah.... did turn on god mode though :)

Let me know and I will test all the city plans if you want.
 
Sirlach is working on a fix now should be up soonish
 
Well, if he is working on a fix, then glad found a problem before too many probably used it and then get to the Island and go wtf? :)
 
Thanks @uituit and @Sirlach

I released Version 4.0.01 last night.

As I type this, @Myrmarachne City Plan is being digested in the Vault and hopefully, in 3 hours, it will be posted along with @KynthiaBarnes other great finalist as Version 4.0.02 ….

I will then work on a version for Nate of 4 files, and by request (not sure if will work) versions to work with StartMeUp...

John
 
My apologies brother @MrCJohn ! Thanks for finding and reporting the bug! :)
 
UPDATE:

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/38520

4 SETS OF FILE GROUPINGS - NATE AND NORA VERSIONS!
All Settlements version (except banned) - all random city plan selections
Nora - Masters Winner - Lite Version @NDCowdy
Nate - Masters Winner - Lite Version
Nora - Masters Finalists Version - Lite Version @KynthiaBarnes @Myrmarachne
Nate - Masters Finalists Version - Lite Version
**** Lite version is the original banned list for Quests plus Outpost Zimonja, Starlight, Bunker Hill, and Jamaica Plains. (problematic)

All Cities level 3 to minimize in-game processing
All Cities built on Ultra settings - so high end ultra users won't have additional time to have cities get to that level. Lower PC's can downgrade quickly.
Max settlers per plan.
Civilians selected.

May do a version once I figure out the War Options... pre-population. Also, going to try startmeup version (not sure if I can jiggle around - but will try for those who requested).

Check them out, see the mod authors, and give them your endorsements and encouragement.

And I do this as a means to contribute by helping folks with a trouble free build scenarios, promote and market Sim Settlements and Conqueror, and to give my part to the cause.

All I would ask, is just a simple endorsement of my work that you have benefited from it and to ensure that the hours (about 3 hours per scenario with testing in-game) I put into these pre-builds (saving you the time) is liked, appreciated and something meaningful to you, so I also am encouraged to continue doing this work.

Next version 5.0 will most likely not be until March/April time frame.

Thank you! And Enjoy!
John

PS - I also uploaded a "Make your own Conqueror" series as well. This is at the vault elevator exit and can build your own pre-builds there, skipping all the pre-war.
