Issue with Not having enough food and water for HQ

As the title says, I have been having a constant issue with the water and food in the HQ. I would assume there is probably a ton of forum help request on this, but I couldn’t find any. What I would do if I could would be to upgrade all of the ag plots and municipal water plots to be advanced, and I believe that I have already unlocked them. HOWEVER, everytime I go to a settlement, or use the memory lounger settlement manager, it won’t allow me to build them.

Another issue that seems to be happening is that even though I have many trade agreements, none of the settlements are sending their access food and water.

I am not sure if I am just not understanding something about the HQ system, or I am not doing something right, but can someone help me out.

The two images attached show the food/water usage in HQ, and the second image shows through the remote manager sanctuary’s food/water consumption. Also sry about the bad photo quality, I took the photos with my phone.

EDIT: I am also using the Bethesda.net version and not the nexus version, cause idk how nexus works.

Ps. yes I know that it says I have 36/35 settlers in sanctuary, that was because I moved a companion there.

There's currently this whole thing where it will only show the plot subtypes that the person working at the plot has high enough stats to use, even if you have the setting for that requirement turned off. That might be why they're not showing up for you.

According to your screenshots there, though, Sanctuary doesn't have any excess Food or Water to share - those bars are nowhere near full. SS2 puts far more strain on how much food/water it wants, based on the level/number of certain plot types; mostly Residential and Recreational consume more than 1 food/water per person.

Ok, do you know how I gain access to the advanced and high tech ag and municipal plots, cause this issue is seriously annoying me?

A couple unique settlers quests can unlock advanced farms (namely Odette and Joe Gallagher), water plots (Ventilator) and power plots (Archon). Though if you're not actively seeking them out or running into them, you may unlock the plots "normally" faster. And for hi-tech, either do it the long way (5 advanced plots at level 3) or cheat a bit and unlock all plot types with the city manager holotape (kinda ruins the feel of overall progression so you may not want to do that). There's also the supercheat of using tgm in HQ and ignoring all that. Judging by the screenshots, you'd need to build way more actively to meet those requirements.

If you're certain you already unlocked those advanced types and they're still not showing up, it might just be that the guys working those plots don't have high enough stats; plop down some Recreational: Training plots in your settlements for Endurance (Agricultural) and Perception (Water). If nothing else it'll improve how much the people can output even on Basic plots, those few points really do add up.
If you're playing with the Disease system turned on I actually recommend putting an Endurance Training plot in every settlement anyway; that stat also affects how badly someone can get diseased before it knocks them out

Just posting this to confirm that the moment I activated a supply agreement to vault 88, the water bar went from red to this:

Vault 88 had like 300 water (all from objects) and 5 settlers with barely anything else done. I'd expect it to not be anywhere as dramatic if it was more built up.
