Transfer Settlements - Nuka-World Red Rocket Truck Stop and Bordello 1.0.2

This Transfer Settlements blueprint transforms the Nuka-World Red Rocket into a sprawling, multi-functional hub. Leveraging the massive build area, this overhaul introduces a high-end diner, a multi-story hotel with a hedonistic twist, and a fortified farmers' market. The site is also protected by a massive 1600+ defense rating.

The Last Red Light Before Nuka-World.

 

 

The end result is a sealed-in environment that provides high defences and food production while making use of both levels of the terminal itself. This blueprint integrates nicely with mods like Just Business, Human Resources, and Hookers of the Commonwealth - Settlement Edition, but these elements are contained within this blueprint.

Setup

 

Setup in this case is a straightforward process:

 

Note. It is faster and safer to scrap within the Red Rocket if you disable it temporarily. Simply get the reference id and REFID.Disable followed by REFID.Enable when done.

 

Build a Transfer Settlements console from Power > Miscellaneous on the road by the Red Rocket gas price sign.

 

Note. Import should be done with Workshop Mode enabled.

 

Tasks After Import

 

Confirm that all power has been restored as expected. Most lamps will not be lit, simply select them in workshop mode to light them up.

 

Notes on Imports

 

Transfer Settlements recommends leaving the area after import and 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.

 

Note. This blueprint was tested with Transfer Settlements working under Stable.

 

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. The steps below may improve performance.

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

 

Note. I cannot guarantee the above will work.

 

A Special Thanks To

 

Thank you to Caladon for creating the template that makes blueprints installable.
