Setup

Clearing the area is relatively straightforward. Remove the warehouse, sidewalks, and outbuildings.

Maintain the following:

• Docks and retaining walls. Remove retaining wall starting at the first corner piece, all the way to the boat shed.
• Diner and refueling station (remove the sliding panels blocking two windows)
• Boat shed, but clear out it's contents.
• Power pole by the warehouse.

Clear out the remaining clutter, including junk cars.

Build a Transfer Settlements console from Power > Miscellaneous facing on the road coming into Egret Tours Marina facing the bridge.
 

Tasks After Import

No additional requirements other than to confirm that all power has been restored as expected.

Notes on Imports

Transfer Settlements recommends leaving the area after import and do not return for 1-2 game days. However, I found that saving on site always crashes the game.

The easiest way to get away and save is to coc Vault111Ext from the console. Wait a couple of minutes before heading into the vault. Once you arrive at the bottom it is safe to save.

I recommend that you import/export Blueprints using Stable defaults. Using other methods has caused ladders, walls, and flooring to appear without collision. In many cases the collision effects are found elsewhere leading to interesting behaviours among the NPC population, and leading to a snap back effect as you push through an area and are forced back by the invisible wall.
 

Lastly Import wired power connections should always be selected as part of the import process. It will reliably re-connect all wired connections. This saves you the trouble of linking up floors, turrets, and in some cases re-establish connections for hidden or buried runs.

Notes on Power and Performance

These blueprints utilize ambient fill lighting to provide a pervasive glow. I use Naked Bulbs to create a lived-in atmosphere for statues, fountains, and roof voids.

Warning for Dynamic Lighting Users

If you use mods that turn all lights into dynamic, shadow-casting sources, the sheer number of these bulbs will severely cripple your framerate. I strongly recommend using the Transfer Settlements Blueprint Editor to strip out all instances of 306F1 before importing.

Optimization for Complex Builds:
Because of the heavy use of conduits to reduce visible power lines, these settlements have high object counts. To steps below may improve performance.

• Enable Faux Power in the Workshop Framework's workbench settings.
• Use the Transfer Settlements Blueprint Editor to strip all conduits from the .json file.

This can reduce build complexity by up to 40% without losing the overall aesthetic of the settlement.
