How to build new buildings in settlement?

You have to wait.
You have no control over when or what to build in the settlement.

You basically just wait until prompted to interact with the terminal. Deposit resources when required. Choose a building. Wait until prompted to interact with the terminal again. Repeat until your settlement is fully grown.

not entirely true. when they're suggesting a single building you can choose to decline it and wait again for something else. Tho, I'm starting to think each spot is size restricted. Been trying to get a housing unit for a few days now...

I laid Base Computers as close as I could get them to work one in the north and another in the south. Their build radius extends over a section of the town and allows me to build my own buildings in the town as well as decorate. Warning: I overloaded my town and it kept crashing. had to remove a bunch of deco to get back to normal...bottom line this works but you have to be careful about overdoing it

The settlements are procedural in their 'randomness'. You can make limited choices in what you want auto built inside the settlement area, but I haven't built many settlements to experiment with many differences or how much your input affects what is actually built. I chose more marketplaces on my last settlement construction. Some building take longer than others to complete. That gives you time to play the game and forget about the settlement until your next visit. There is always something else to do in the game lol

It's logical to assume that an area of significant size is needed for the settlement to spread out. If you deliberately place a base computer to encroach on that building area with your own base buildings, then it is best to wait until at least the settlement is fully constructed to avoid or at least diminish, bugs or crashes that are likely to occur due to overlapping rendering of objects or NPC pathway collisions and so on with obstructing base builds.
