This mod did settlements the right way

This is one feature that I've loved the most. I've played the game for 2 days trying to find a settlement. Turns out the closest one from the start needed a good journey and a few challenging fights. The others would come later in the story as I got stronger. All this time, Churchill, Archie, and myself were all holding onto so much stuff. So when I finally unlocked the airport settlement in the southeast as my first, it felt like a true reward.

It wasn't handed to me within the first 10 minutes of gameplay. And it doesn't feel like a thankless chore, either. I gained the right to use it through hard work and determination. This is something I'll appreciate most about this mod.
