    This is absolutely fantastic to see. Thank you so much for making this! I've been tinkering with SS2 since it launched, but I play exclusively on Survival mode. I've often wondered about why the towns wouldn't grow or random things like generators in other settlements were always broken even if never attacked. I will certainly be looking into this Automated mode so that I can enjoy this feature as much as I've been enjoying the storyline itself. Thank you and your team for all the hard work that you've done with this project and for the community.
  • I couldn't play fallout 4 for a few years because of pc issues but I recently started playing again so i got SS2 and I wasn't disappointed. Looking forward to your future projects.

    I used SS2 in automated mode a few times in the past. Mainly when I wanted a playthrough without having to build every shack, bed, and chair. Being able to use plots for my main settlement, and building plans for others, saved a lot of micro management.
  • @joshybones
    Been playing this. Great Job! It is fantastic!
  • Hands down my favorite addition to Fallout 4. Just when I thought the game was starting to get a bit stale I learn about SS. Now I'm hooked allll over again and having a blast :) HUGE thanks to everyone who worked on this!
  • Recently downloaded this mod and gotta say I am forever grateful I did, I was a "no mod" player till I heard about this, this is how settlements should've been or atleast to some extent, but all around great mod
  • @JustThankless
    As a filthy casual, I salute you and look forward to catching the next live stream

    Expect an influx of Starfield refuges looking for some old Bethesda feeling in Fallout 4 and somehow stumble upon this!
  • @iHazQuestions
    A bit late to this party, but this is perfect for me. I'm not the best at PC gaming (I'm a seasoned citizen) and so I usually play Skryim, FO3/FNV/FO4 and now Starfield on easy mode. I get flustered a bit in combat and fumble the controls; the old digit joints aren't as nimble as they used to be. I played SS1 a LOT once I figured out I could automate settlement building, and I spent a lot of time figuring out how too much complexity would crash my gaming rig (Triangle of Death, etc.). Anyway I'm excited to be delving into SS2 finally, and just wanted to say a big THANKS!

    Wow, somehow I never knew SS2 had profiles. I play almost exclusively on Survival and I always wondered why it was so tough to keep my settlements running. Honestly I was underestimaging the complexity and configurability of the mod, still treating it like SS1 as you said and just using it to build cool stuff. So im thankful you made this series to demonstrare this, Automated mode (with maybe a few tweaks) seems very much up my alley.
  • I've been playing with this mod since it launched and I only just now realized I've never once opened the holotape. I always play on survival and never realized why I was having so much trouble getting even a single settlement built up before diseases started ravaging everyone and plots wouldn't even build due to limited supplies (I know I can just cheat in scrap with the console but I like playing as realistically as possible). Gonna give easy mode a shot and if that ends up being way too simple then I might switch to the city simulator difficulty.
  • I got the holotape from pickup point because the nPC is just not spawning for me. Listening to it and it runs the install and says click "ok" and when I do it just run the install again.

    Hello! Love your mods and have high hopes for chapter3 of ss2
  • @mrchapin94
    I love this mod with borderlands guns and it is funny as hell
  • @BorgWolf359
    I had no idea SS2 had story attached to it! I thought it was just another building mod only! I have been interested in SS in FO4 but was too scared to try it! I thought that it would be super hard & complicated! I like this vid & it does make me want to give it a go! Should I use SS & SS2 or just one of them? Do both have story attached to them? Great video, keep up the great work!
  • @FluxFreeman
    This looks great, now I have to make space since I’m basically playing on the original Xbox with hamburger controller
  • @Commenter199
    Do you have to reassign settlers to new recreation plots after they max stats on one or do they do that on their own in automated mode?
  • @nahtanha
    "random Todd things" I just about died laughing. Have been meaning to do a new playthrough to give SS a go for ages, maybe this will give me a push XD
