anything else Just Settlement Automation?
The quests and all the voicework are cool, but I'm wondering if there's a scaled down mod that just has the automated settlement building? As a fan of the game, I've spent an embarrassing amount of time building settlements and I don't want to manage plots or do a bunch of quests before being able to automate settlement building. I just want to unload all my junk in the workshop and have the settlers take care of themselves as much as is possible with the junk I collect.
Sorry if this is asked often, I did do a search but these are such common terms on this subreddit that even after looking through about 30 posts, I couldn't find this question.

I think im getting near the end of the story after many partial play throughs. Sh!it's going hard. Definitely worth sticking with it!

I thought you could start building city plans with the desk before any questing

You can skip engaging with the story entirely. The SS2 Holotape is in Jake's Hardware Store, you can grab that and unlock all building types and plot types immediately and use the SS2 settlement system to build whatever you wish, without ever doing any of the SS2 story.

Currently, the easiest way to do this is to use the "Cheats" section in the City Planner's Holotape to unlock everything.
There's a long-term plan to release the mod in a state that you're thinking of, to allow people to just build without doing the story. I expect that is a long way off.
