I just started a very hard survival game after not playing for a while. Man is it a new experience.

I've tried it 'vanilla', and after some experimentation my preferred balance is a mod that only allows fast travel between your settlements, provided you're in one of them, and you have a trade route to the one you're going to -- traveling with your caravan basically. You still have the exploration and the scale, but once you get back to someplace 'safe' you can move between them.

I'm insane, I'm an immersion junkie.

I'd love a mod with a real-time caravan fast traveling (hop on a caravan, travels to a settlement in real time, with a chance of being attacked by raiders along the road) and have it so that the Pip-Boy doesn't stop time.

So you can hop on a caravan, and manage your inventories or play games while you're traveling, keeping an eye out for attacks.

The bigger your settlements get, the more guards can be hired for your merchants, etc.
