Guidelines
for Wasteland Retreat - RRTS by ggTrol
I would suggest having a solid breakfast, at least a bowl of Sugar Bombs and some Deathclaw Wellingham accompanied by a crate of Ice cold Nuka-Cooler before you dig into this.

PSA: The download for Dead Wasteland has been removed from Nexusmods, it is an integral part of my blueprints.
It is available on Bethesda.net from now on though. Slighly inconvenient but you can grab it there.
Spoiler:
Show
You'll need a Bethesda.net account and add it to your library.
Start Fallout 4 and go into the main menu/mods to download it. You'll have to login to Bethesda.net in Fallout 4.
I do deactivate it immediatly after the download and the go into my Fallout 4 Data folder to grab the files.
I copy them to my mod-archive, and delete the ones in Data afterwards. Make a ZIP from the files and use that in your usual method of managing mods.
(Be aware the ingame modmenu can mess with your loadorder, be carefull and make backups.)

Extract the Textures.ba2 with Bethesda Archive Extractor and put the spiral stairs textures as loose files in Data\textures\G2M\Architecture\

5. SCRAPPING
As long as there are no scrapprofiles that can be included with a blueprint, i would say scrap most of what is vanilla scrapable, and the dirtpiles when you use a scrapmod.
DO NOT SCRAP following objects:
Spoiler:
Show
Abraxo Poster and Ivy. 
Grey Tortoise Poster and Ivy. 
Nuka Billboard and Hedges. 
Guardrailing and Hedges. 
Guardrailing. 
Roadside Guardrailing. 
Guardrailing (Keep if this one IS scrapable for you) and optionally the Fusion Flea. 
Gaspumps and do not disable the Hoses. 
These two tables. 
Counter and Posters. 
Desk and everything on top of it. 
Tree Cluster. (Optional)

6. IMPORT SETTINGS
Read the Import Guide I wrote for Transfer Settlements and keep it at hand.
RECOMMENDED General Settings:
- Shut down generators during the power-up phase.
- Turn off NPC AI during import.
OPTIONAL General Settings:
- Import items from the ground up.
- Blueprint style blueprint info. (Not needed for the BASIC download)
- Multithhreaded script execution.
REQUIRED Import Settings
Select all options without Nuking and Tamed Creatures
Note that the "marker-based"-option will force buildmode when the import starts.
7. POWER GRID
As stated in my Import Guide for Transfer Settlements the powering-up phase should NEVER be done in the optional pipboy-mode due to game engine script execution limitations.
All of the wiring and pipe conduits should work out-of-the-box.
There is an exception however for some mod-added items like the "Fusion Core Power Panel" from HZS Easy Homebuilder.
Use the pictures below as a guide to find those, select them in buildmode and tab out. That should engage them to deliver electricity.
Spoiler:
Enter here
and go left into the 'powerstation'-door
Resnap these, the left and right fusion core power panels:
Backtrack and enter the opposite room
and resnap the fusion core box above the slot machines.
(This one will only work at night, to avoid settlers wasting precious time on gambling during their working hours)

PLEASE NOTE:
The recruitment beacon on top of the Red Rocket roof and the Cat/Dog/Brahmin cages are NOT WIRED.
I did this to avoid involuntary attracting of new settlers or pets.
Congratulations on your perseverance. Good luck and have fun.
