If you don't want the settler count to go back up, I would check to see if you have a communications plot. If yes, then I would switch it to something else.
I see what you did there.
About those, actually, aren't there like hard-coded and SS2 couldn't do much to prevent all your settlements from being attacked every day? (It's something that's really annoying for me too as I don't want to spend all my time travelling from settlement to settlement just to deal with that, and I think I once read something among those lines.)
As I recall, that was specifically done by kinggath. People would FT to a settlement and end up appearing in the middle of the batch of enemies and/or crossfire and get obliterated. This removes that possibility from occurring.
What's "etc"? You mean it's not only supposed to be higher than food+water, there's power too or even something else? That should explain why I'm still having some settlements raided while I'm away because I overbuild generators (like I place a 100-power fusion generator no matter if I only need a third of that)... I'll add more turrets again, then! (I feel like I overbuild turrets too but it's never enough
)
I see @yaugie has chimed in above to elaborate; thank you, @yaugie.What's "etc"? You mean it's not only supposed to be higher than food+water, there's power too or even something else?

The Mechanist's Lair is not able to be attacked if I remember correctly (I cannot find confirmation but I'm pretty sure), though it's a tad disappointing after we conquer it, wouldn't it give ideas to someone after we opened the place, wouldn't Gunners or Rust Devils want to get it? Anyway, among vanilla settlements there's The Castle too, (except for quests, during which enemies can spawn inside walls lmao), Boston Airport, as well as Bunker Hill, they're flagged
AllowAttacks = False. For other DLCs, I have no idea, I guess the rest of them can be attacked.I think this is done to "load" things in without breaking your game. I'm on console so its a game saver for me to walk a little bit, let everything load and not crash.
For Vanilla attacks, I suggest you use this: This Settlement Does Not Need Your Help - BS Defence Redone it uses Workshop Framework to take full control of this irritating mechanic.
Oh well I have been attacked by Gunners in Bunker Hill and The Castle (where some spawned in walls again, dumb NPCs lol) so SS2C2 sieges don't seem to take that flag into account.
Thanks for the mod suggestion; idk if I'll change my current modlist tho, plus the past few days I have been helping settlements with vanilla attacks and found myself building some stuff while I was there so it kept me having some fun in the end. Perhaps I'll use it at some point when I've done everything I wanna do and/or I used big city plans which are complete already and I don't edit them much.
