#so many places are painfully underdeveloped rn

[mxinevitable]

Pretty good stuff for ten minutes here and there throughout the day. Going to get real finnicky with that second story walkway probably. The funniest part is how it's almost miserably dark and cold on the streets in there with all the shadows. I bet it'll look really cute with a decent amount of electric lights. I ran out of steel (STEEL?!) so there are still a lot of unroofed buildings. But I think it'd be really cute to give a few companions rooms and I'm only running Everyone's Best Friend so I am getting lousy with companions rn.

I'm unsure about how all the different textures are going to look but I already know all of it looks better the more I stack onto it. Especially as there's less just.. flat cut off on the right side of things. It's not a fun cluttered living place from the shotgun shack's porch--it's like... a flat eyesore. It's construction. I'm going to get real obnoxious with plants and pipes I think.

Ooh wait can I do an "abandoned brutalism" spot somewhere? Maybe the natick power station?

Getting up to some things over at Starlight. Mapped a layout down in the hopes that the pathways will be big enough for NPCs to casually move through. The first level's about done. It'll be the main focus of the settlement and then we'll branch out a bit more haphazardly I think. The second level will break up more the of the long straight lines with varied outer walls and caps, and we'll probably connect some places up there with walkways.

I want it to look low tech but high life, and grow a real little hub outta the drive in. I'm honestly a bit worried the variety of textures will look bad instead of organically cobbled together and decorated by folks in their spare time with the rare spare resources.

So far I have plans for a milita's quarters/armory, a few bars/restaurants, a workhouse/depot, a library and a greenhouse. Spent a good chunk of my break time today fleshing out Red Rocket Sanctuary and Lexington, and Starlight, as well as tweaking Sanctuary's interiors a bit more.
