¶ The ASAM Sensor
The Advanced Survey and Activity Monitoring (ASAM) Sensor is a tool that allows you to create and manage building plots. In Sim Settlements 2 you will use ASAM Sensors:
- to create a Sim Settlements Plot
- to manage a specific plot
- to manage the settings of an entire building plot type.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
ASAMS and Boxes of ASAMS are components which can be used to build objects. Anything with components that can be used in a constructible object record (i.e. plot construction) is always considered Junk by the game. Technically the sensors are considered a component (like steel) and the box is misc item that contains 20 of the components.
When you store Junk into the Workshop, ASAMS and Boxes of ASAMS will also be deposited into the Workshop.
¶ How to get ASAM Sensors
There are many ways to get ASAM Sensors
- The Stranger will give you one in the initial quest, Laying Foundations, which you use to create your first plot
- Jake will give you more in the quest Plotting the Future
- After the quest Scavver’s Delight, you can obtain more by completing the Side Quest Suburban Disturbance
- After completing Suburban Disturbance, you can trade chalk with the super mutants in West Everett Estates for more
- After the quest Hub of the Problem, you can craft your own
- You will also find boxes of ASAMS in Concord Hardware
- You can sometimes buy them from traders.
¶ Crafting ASAM Sensors
ASAM Sensors can be crafted on City Planner's Desk once you have completed Hub of the Problem.
To craft 1 ASAM Sensor, you will require the following materials:
- 1 aluminum
- 1 circuitry
- 1 crystal
- 1 fiber optics
- 2 plastic
- 2 screws
They can be built individually or in boxes of 20.
¶ Managing your plot using an ASAM
You can interact with your plot by moving your crosshairs over the ASAM sensor on your plot. Doing so will provide you with two options; View Details and Activate.
Clicking on Activate will let you manage your plot.
For the Options available, please see Managing plots.
Clicking View Details will let you examine the plot details at a glance
