Required quest for The Castle City Plan

[saltandpepe]

I have the RotC add-on for SS2, and when I try to start a city plan for The Castle, it tells me that there are quests required and that I should wait for the unlock. I have done the quest to unlock the armory, which quest is required to unlock the city plan? Not sure whether it's the vanilla or RotC city plan, as it doesn't tell me which plan requires a quest.

It should only be the quest that unlocks Artillery that's set as a requirement. A few people have mentioned this, it must need a second look to check it's looking for the right quest being finished or something.
Are you running any mods that might've altered that quest, just out of curiosity?

Not that I know of, but I think I had to use console commands to start the quest as Preston wouldn't give me settlement recruitment quests for some reason

That's quite odd. Did he at least give "The First Step" after you got him and his pals back to Sanctuary?

Yeah, I've done The First Step, Returning The Favor (Abernathy) and Sanctuary . After those, nothing. Couldn't talk to settlers at places like Tenpines either. I'm wondering if it's due to me failing a Kidnapping quest, but even before that I wasn't given any recruitment quests (there were quite a few quests done inbetween).

I've just tried starting Taking Point with console commands, no luck there either, nor by talking to Preston afterwards. Can these quests not be started via console since they're radiant quests?

From memory, taking The Castle triggers not from completing a bunch of those radiant quests, but you just have to have finished "The First Step", then the check is owning some number of Settlements and at that point the next time you talk to Preston he'll give you "Taking Independence" - this usually triggers after handing in whichever Radiant you were on, but not necessarily that way. Then the quest for the Artillery starts a few days after completing that one.

Think I started Taking Independence with console commands since I couldn't get the radiants (it's been a while), and then Old Guns started on it's own like normal

Most radiant quests are setup to start via the story manager. Quests setup this way are unable to be started manually.
