I came back from a couple of days away from Sanctuary to find that a settler had started to build a house in the carport of the workshop house in Sanctuary using the RotC complex plan. I'd not even realized that this was a possibility because the junction box for that plot is meshed into the wall and now I've currently got all my crafting benches set up in that space already. I'd thought about trying to find some place to relocate the benches, but the reality is that this is the place that I want them to live because its nice and central and already well lit for work at night so instead I would rather move that settler's house somewhere else. The problem is, I see lots of spaces that are clearly going to be plots at some point because they've already got the foundations in place, but I really have no idea what areas of the settlement are going remain free for me to make my own modifications like this as the settlement progresses.
Can someone give me some guidance on where I can place plots within the settlement so that they don't get overwritten with the plots / structures added by the next levels of development?
Thanks
PS: A couple of things to note. First, the city plan is still at level 0, if that matters at all. Second, I use Horizon so there are several extra crafting benches I have to find room for, so while I know that the vanilla benches should make an appearance in the next level or two of the city, I'll still want them to be co-located with all my Horizon benches. That also means that I'll have at least 4-5 extra job plots that I'll need to fill which will lead to needing to find space for the 4-5 associated housing plots for those settlers.
EDIT: Also please don't just say "down by the river". I know that the river area isn't really used, but I also don't want to just put residential plots as far away as possible because then it makes some people look like complete hermits trying to avoid the rest of the community.
