¶ Overview
Municipal Plots provide your settlement with City Services.
Sim Settlements 2 comes with some building plans for interior and 2x2 plots
You can add more building plans by downloading and installing Sim Settlements 2 Addons
For some Municipal Plots, production can be improved by assigning Settlers with a higher stat.
Power Plants - Intelligence
Water Plants - Perception
Sanitation - Perception
Others do not benefit from the assigned Settler having a specific stat.
To train up your Settler, assign them to a Recreation Plot that trains that stat .
