Taffington Boathouse - The Commonwealth's Water Provider

Taffington Boathouse - The Commonwealth's Water Provider

My third settlement upload. Thank you so much for those messages that preceded mine: Starlight Drive and Nordhagen Beach in Trading Center and Settlement - a tough thriving community.

For this solution I want to create a water trading hub. Given the value of pure water, it needs to be defensible. Leaving the roads through the built-up area open for commercial operations meant that the remaining settled area was rather compact, much of it occupied by the houses themselves. The house is beautiful. It seemed ridiculous that no one had bothered to solve it in 200 years - so I did it.

Housing settlers with just a few rows of bunk beds in the adjacent boathouse looked miserable, so I created a dormitory/emergency shelter/internment camp feel.

I then added a more substantial dock system and turned the wasted water buildable area into something functional and consistent with the flavor I wanted.

There were over 1,000 objects at the time of this settlement. I had to stop there because I felt that the small fps drop I was having in build mode would get worse as more objects were processed. I mentioned below that the Better Stores mod does not appear to be downloadable. If you don't have it yet and can't get it, you may want to add some additional food resources. The settlement uses a fishing boat and the model's butcher station. Shouldn't be a big deal, but I mention it because I don't want to disappoint anyone.

There are many mods listed in the Required section. Those relating to the structure of which I have spoken are obviously indispensable. Those more suitable for decoration may not be so much. I like all the mods listed. They really offer all the options you need to make something like this. I have no issues or conflicts with them. But I did manually override Loot's loading order by ensuring that all Workshop rearranged related entries were lower than all other Workshop models.

Steps to achieve the full effect of this settlement.

• Get the required modules
• If the area is not already cleared of original assets - then clear everything important. You may end up with duplicate objects after transfer, but this shouldn't be a problem.
• IMPORTANT: When you use the Transfer Settlement Holotape import feature, make sure to check the box to import the original project (not built by the player). If you don't do this, then any original items I move won't end up where I moved them to.
• Please note that my taste in "art" is a personal choice. You certainly don't need the relevant mods. What you may see in the images are replacements and therefore don't have the same mod settings as if you had the same picture.
