Question Settlement build limit goes to max if building on plot is changed

[jmartinr]

Have a new bug that has popped up. Well, two bugs.
First, when I try to use the scrap and build for a layout the progress bar does not move. If I skip scrap and build it goes fine. So back to manually removing stuff before building.
Second problem - I have a small setup in Hangman's Alley. There are 10 1x1 resident plots, 1 1x1 industrial and 2 1x1 ag. The settlement build limit meter is clear. If I change the building type on a plot (plywood shack to metal shack, etc), then go to build mode the build meter is maxed and get the warning nothing more can be build. I incrementally increased the build limit to 6500% and still maxed out. Rolled back to a good save, tried again with the same results. Rolled back, increased build limit to 400%, tried - got the same results.

Did you by chance remove a city plan?

Did you by chance remove a city plan?

I have not. I had deleted all old saves and updated SS2 mods to include chapter 3. I had WFW 2.3.6b, but I could not scrap and build the layout. Back at 2.3.6a but have the same problem (I deleted all saves again and started over, same thing).

Did you try resetting the build limit using the workshop?
If that doesn't work, drop a weapon or 2 from your inventory, go into workshop mode and store them in the workshop.
(That was an old trick on Xbox to get more build area without having an additional mod. I tried it when I was having an issue with a settlement recently that I removed a city plan, and the meter was full before I could build anything. Worth a try.
