At first, it might not look that great, but this location was one of those, that really bugged me, since the shack has always been too close to the original borders of the zone, making it either look stupid, when fortifying it, or those brahmins/caravans getting stucked over and over again.

So I chose to recenter the whole area, keeping the northeastern corner almost untouched, but since it also bugged me, that this had an lopsided border, I corrected it too, only leaving the little cutoff that you can see on one of the pictures.

The pictures are not showing the maximum space, there is a little bit more to the north, west and south and to the east, the roadside, you could go the size of a concrete shack foundaiton further - if you want to close all the gaps caused by the existing rocks, you will either have to fiddle around or use the modpos command, you make the choice.

As always: No known issues, besides all the crap being caused by the game itself.

Update:

I decided to rework this one too - the main area hasn't changed though, but I've added an outpost near the bridge, making it possible to build kinda outpost there, so you are now able to build those large purifiers there !

Question: How do I know where to start building those walls made of concrete shack foundations to create that outpost ?
Answer: Have a look at the last three newly added pictures, they give you all the information you need.

You can replace the old Cottage.esp with the new one, but you have to either change the name to the old ones, or you will be notified by the game about an missing esp, even though the contents of the new file are the same, except for the additional space.

If you are using one of my all-in-one settlement expansions, you can take the new V4/light, since I've added the changes.

Attention: It seems like that Bugthesda has made some undocumented changes to some of the settlements with update 1.6.x, so that the changes, I am providing with this mod, might not be active or resulting in smaller zones.

The changes are, that they turned the settlement into a cell of it's own AND relocated the center, being able to cope better with the events surrounding this settlement - the downside is, that it will take a lot of time to fix this and that I actually don't have enough time.

Thanks to bill8872 , I can provide you with a solution for the "shrunken build area"-issue.
Like he was stating in the bugs section: open the console and type in "resetquest patch_1_6" , without the quotes, and you should be able to use the whole area again - I have tested it with Jamaica Plains and my expansion was back in full effect !

In case that this won't work, cause the console is showing that the "reset" command is not recognized by the game, instead just use "quest patch_1_6", or "patch_1_6" without the quotes.
