Xbox X : set up time for the conquers' expansion and Child of Atom Facton

[WhisperFire26]

I've set the city level to FOUNDATION
I set to city growth to FALSE
I set the population to 50%
I set the settler recruit to FALSE

Basically, I just want the barebones in the settlements.

The video instructions say that it is recomended to wait about 20 minutes for it to load. However, I've been sitting in the prologue (before you check up on Shaun with your spouse) and waiting for the load meters that say "Stage 1 of 4: Placing Objects" for about an hour and a half, and then "Stage 2 of 4: Populating Settlements," for about 30 minutes, and then "Stage 3 of 4: Placing place markers," for another 45 minutes, and then "Stage 4 of 4: Finshing Lots." for another hour and a half.

This is a really long wait, but then again, this is for console. Is this normal? Am I doing the right thing by waiting in the prologue before visiting the baby and getting the warning on the TV to flee for the vault? I want everything all set and ready to go by the time I leave the house to head for the vault.

It would help to know if I am doing the right thing and waiting afk for the whole mod to load.

Basically, my goal is to attempt a Child of Atom playthrough just like @kinggath is doing with his current YouTube series. So some input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That is probably correct. When I tested on Xbox, I would usually leave it running while I was working and just periodically walk over and nudge the controller.

Unfortunately, Xbox does not have much processing power and so CPU intensive operations like city building tend to take an excessive amount of time.

Just to report, it took a total of 2 hours and 15 minutes for everything to load for the Xbox One X.

If you want to know any additional specifics such as a complete modlist, load order, or settings, just let me know and I'll send everything that I know.

Because I made sure that everything was loaded before I even left the house for the vault, I don't expect any issues.

Now, where do I go from here...?

Okay, I made it to Concord, and the Museum of Freedom. I triggered a quest by a "Treacherous Raider," aka. Jammer who told me to kill the other raiders and optionally, the civilians. Then, I talked to Preston and looted the ASAM Sensors and holotape. I also grabbed the power armor while I was at it too.

Anyway, I killed the deathclaw and then promptly fast traveled back to Sanctuary without talking to anyone except for Codsworth. So now Dogmeat has a name and Codsworth is available as a companion. I have not returned to Concord to talk to Jammer or Preston (who I left alive) to complete those quests.

I'm not really interested in talking to Jammer to proceed with the Conqueror's questlines, and I'm content to leaving Preston and company in the Museum of Freedom for the rest of the game so that I don't have to kill them.

So.... to start my Child of Atom Faction playthrough, I'm left wondering, "Where do I start from here?"

NOTE:
While I was looking up the specifics on this Faction Pack, I noticed that there was one that was authored by MrNeedles [Nexus], whose mod is actually linked from the Wiki, and another Faction Pack with the same name that was authored by Tinuvia [Nexus] [Bethesda]. This caused a little confusion because I wasn't sure WHICH ONE that I downloaded, but I am thinking that I am using the one by Tinuvia.

Just thought that I bring these two faction packs to your attention since they for the most part, have the same name.
