Sim Settlements 2: For Science! Season 2 - Ep 2 - Plotting Tricks!!

For Science! Season 2 will be an experiment to see if we can get the 4 settlements surrounding GNN built, fully upgraded, and ready to supply HQ BEFORE the How to HQ quest. These 4 settlements are Egret Tours Marina, Jamaica Plain, Somerville Place, and Mirkwater Construction Site.

While I’ve waited for the Industry plots to upgrade, I’ve traveled to Diamond City, unlocked Jamaica Plain and Somerville Place as settlements, and even gone over to Warwick Homestead. Then, after those days passed, I realized that my morale in Egret Tours wasn’t high enough to allow those upgrades anyway. It was going up, so I decided to just sleep away a couple more days, and Bingo!
