About This File
Here is the Blueprint for my Starlight Drive in settlement for Fallout 4. Mod required to import the settlement is Transfer Settlements which can be found here. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/22442
That is the only hard requirement of course, however I used assets from the following mods.
The plugins listed are not hard requirements, if you do not have them installed it will skip adding the items. I believe the option to skip mod items exists in the Import menu for Transfer Settlements. To better explain if you want/need each of them, here is what each added.
ArmorKeywords - Added the Armorsmith Crafting table, used to avoid using the Chemical crafting station for various downloadable Armor.
Homemaker - Added various new lights, trees, hedge fence, and stairs. (Highly recommend)
BetterStores - Adds the Neon Signs shown in the picture as well as various objects in the settlement (Highly Recommend)
Eli_Crafting Shiz (Can be found listed as Crafting Fury 9000 on Nexus) - Adds various objects to the settlement
Colored Workshop Lights - Adds the colored lights like above.
Installation
Very easy, Unzip the folder and paste it into -> Fallout 4 -> Data -> F4SE -> Plugins -> TransferSettlements -> Blueprints
In Game craft the Transfer Settlements tape in the Chemical Crafting station, go to Starlight Drive in after its been cleared of Mole Rats and claimed as a settlement. You will want to scrap all the cars, the radioactive barrels in the water, the speaker poles, and perhaps all the skeletons. You will also need to go into the Screen building and scrap all the shelves in the locked backroom as well as the fridge, grill, and crib in the side room, otherwise Crafting tables will be clipping thru them.
Use the Transfers Settlement tape and chose Import and pick file 12, should be labeled Octavia Starlight etc (basically the name of the character who built that settlement). Shouldn't need to touch any of the options and import it as is, but like I said, if any of the addons are not present, might be able to click an option to not attempt to import them. The mod will import the settlement in a rather flashy way. Best thing to do once its imported is Fast Travel away, stay a night, and Fast Travel back and things should be situated.
Highly recommend the mod Scrap Everything. It allows for things that normally cannot be scrapped, like those pesky Mole Rat holes. Just be careful as you can scrap the entire building and projector and even the roads in any settlement. There might be a safer version out there but this is what I have been using for years to clear unwanted clutter from settlements.
Many objects were placed into walls or the floor using a mod called Place, allows for actions such as the Water purifier that is currently buried into the water and Wood/Concrete foundation placed over it. (originally was open beneath it but settlers would phase thru the floors and roam around in the water beneath the floor).
The blueprints take up the courtyard between the Projector and the Screen and doesn't add anything to the buildings themselves. The crafting Tables are located in the back 2 rooms of the Screen itself. The center of the settlement has 9 planters with the various food needed to make the Adhesive item in the cooking station plus a few extra types. Should provide a total of 24 food if fully staffed.
Side building has 3 stores, level 3 Trader, Level 2 Weapon, Level 3 Armor. Main building lower level has the Bar on the right side as well as a Medic station, assuming you have Homemaker (Medic's station is the rug in the left corner) and Better Stores for the Bar. Left side of the bar is the players house, tried to make something like a interlocking door system. Lock the outer door when you are home to keep people out of your place, and lock the inner door when you leave (mostly for Roleplaying, I've come home to Settlers sleeping in my bed).
On either side of the lower level and the upper level are settler homes, I left the far right room on the lower level with a open wall to the bar so the bartender could walk into their own room, just need to assign it to the bartender. Should be beds suitable for 14.
Turrets are set in the most common attack spots, the hedge fence behind the Settlement tables shed keeps most enemies at bay long enough for the turrets and defenders to clear them while the turrets on the opposite side and the guard stations to defend the other side. In my game I have 2 guards, one set for the 2 larger guard towers on either side and the one closer to the gate and they patrol between them and one loan guard in the middle. There is a turret at the very top of the Screen, for those curious why the hell thats there, well I use a mod True Storms and for the Rad Storms option I enabled Ghoul Swarms, 30% during a Rad Storm that packs of ghouls will begin spawning, they tend to spawn up there so that turret clears them out.
The Settlement is as current "finished" tho I have been tweaking it here and there in my play thru, its what has been my players home in my current play thru and is the state of it when I exported it (hence the lvl 2 weapon seller). If people just want a bare bones version of the settlement without decorations, crafting stations, trader posts etc, I could upload one, but its easier if you did it yourself. Just make a save, import it, scrap what you don't want, export it to a new file, reload the save and import the clean location.
Credits go to the various modders who made the plugins. Feel free to change and alter the design, just don't upload it on the Nexus or here claiming it as your own. Any questions feel free to make a post or message me.
