Iāve had a couple of visitors stay (like the old system). Iāve also had the count go up twice without explanation or ceremony. And Iābe had two children born which I have not found and forgot to look if they counted.

For some reason, the 5.72 update downloads halfway (2.4gb) on my ps5 then it just sits there. I tried rebuilding the database and clearing the cache, but no luck. I canceled and deleted the downloads and other game/apps updates were downloaded afetr with no issue. But NMS gets stuck halfway. Anyone else have this issue on their ps5?

Iāve had various issues like this over the years.
Often right at the end where it decides it canāt install/validate.
Typically, I find ensuring Iām using a strong internet signal that isnāt via rooftop satelite reviever as I have access to both satelite & telephone networkā¦ NMS seems to object to the satelite version.
I also find resetting the modem has helped; not just turning it of but doing the paperclip reset.
Due to our poor reception, I generally hunt about & make sure the PS5 is the only thing online during a big download as sometime sharing the signal is enough to mess things up.
Probably the most obvious one is to check the PS5 actually has extra memory available as they donāt seem to like being even close to full.

My settlements can run up debt - but I donāt see any way for them to make a profit.
If my settlers make a successful expedition, I can choose to donate their earnings to the settlement reserve - except there doesnāt appear to be a settlement reserve - the money just disappears.
If a settlement incurs expenditure, say, for a party or an expedition, that outlay is translated directly into debt. Thereās no allowance for a reserve buffering the expense.
When the setttlement goes into profitable production, it can only store very small amounts of produce - like 1 quantum computer, or 175 radon. Once that limit is reached, production stops. The settlement canāt sell it, and it canāt make any more until I take the existing stuff - but I have to take it - I canāt pay it into the settlementās reserve.
It feels like the settlements were originally intended to have an extra layer of economics, which somehow got left out of the final product. As it is, the settlements are designed to fail. They canāt ever make any money - they canāt even be self-sufficient.

Its only the nms 5.72 update thats having the issue. Other
Multi gig game updates work fine, even the ones that were pending behind the stuck nms update once I cancelled the nms update. I have plenty of free space, and its definitely not the internet.

I noticed the preview panel for that settlement still shows increasing debt but it is actually decreasing right now.
Some tinkering seems needed.
And none of those settlements has asked me to build anything. Just the one landing pad in my Autophage settlement

Yes, they can increase debt, and they can decrease debt - but debt is all they can have. They never make any profit - they never have any cash.
You can make a (very small) profit by taking and selling what little goods they have - but to be honest, youād need a thousand settlements to make as much as you can from farming or mining.
Left to their own devices, itās not possible for the settlements to make any money at all.

Which shows that despite being enhanced, settlements still need some work.
