Fort Finch
Tired of using so much of your settlement budget building a defensible perimeter? I did. So now I use my settlements as my perimeter. I know of the mod to expand the settlement budget, but I saw it as a challenge to make all of my 'Forts' keep within the game budget using only what I actually scrounged.
Scrap or store everything EXCEPT for the floorboards to Finch's farmhouse. You can also leave most of the signs in the Finch house if you wish. They look pretty good as decoration for the stores area. ;)
Installation
The folder needs to be extracted and placed in your 'Transfer Settlements' folder. 7zip /Steam/SteamApps/Common/Fallout4/Data/F4SE/plugins/TransferSettlements/blueprints/
If you like this design could you hit that little 'Endorse' button for me? I would really appreciate it. :)
My other 'Vanilla' Blueprints. None of my blueprints are designed to be pretty... :) What they are designed to be is to not require all DLC, two mods maximum required, easily defensible, stay within the 'Vanilla' game budget and have everything you need.
