UNDER CONSTRUCTION
You can customize your War Mechanics gameplay by changing settings in the holotape. You can find those settings under Options>Gameplay>War.
These Options are also available through MCM (Mod Configuration Manager), Sim Settlements 2, Gameplay.

| Autosave Before Assaults | When ON, just before an assault begins, the game will autosave to ensure you have a rollback point.
