During the playthrough i find it quite frustrating and powerless when my settlements are getting raided and i can do nothing about it, i know that you can change min/max days before raids happen but it doesnt solve the problem of how the raiding power keeps progressing while ignoring the current settlement military level

This is my first playthrough so i just set a settlement to test and see how the mechanics works, some days go by a level 2 raid comes and of course crush my settlement, but the problem is my colony nor the attacked settlement have a steady stream of silver to support the upkeep of raising a lot of military level, so i ended up barely raising it to 3, and while economy is damaged i am barely keeping it self sustain, ended up 50+ silver profit? but most of the time is me paying silver.

Then the second raid comes with attacking force of 6......

Like how am i suppose to defend it? i get it the forces should get progressively strong but the pacing is just too quick, I think the raid strength should take the player's settlement development pacing into account,like maybe the mod can take the player's settlement military level into account before deciding whether it should be ramping up.

I did see that people suggest getting like 5000 silver before starting your first settlement, but tbh thats kinda limiting how player approach this mod, because of this "forced progressive" raiding mechanics i can't start settlements right from the start and watch it increase in military level along side my colony.

So my point is that the raid levels should take the current situation into account, whether or not it is the amount of silver the player have or the overall settlement military levels, coz right now i feel like the game have no sense of my current state and now i am just in a state where i have to constantly throw even more silver into this never ending loop of raising settlement military level and seeing my settlement getting crushed nevertheless so there will never be healthy prosperity(economy) level and dont even think about profit. So i think the mod should maybe allow the player to change the progressiveness on raid difficulty or just take silver amount or settlements military level into account while spawning settlement raids. While raid is an essential part to balance out the benefit that settlements gives so the i would rather not turning it off but these unbalanced raids makes this mods a burden or even unplayable when you can never upgrade fast enough to actually win these never ending progressively strong raids.
