I’m writing here again after some time. We need to decide soon what to do with our walls and ceilings. We have plastered calcium silicate stone walls or drywall partitions and concrete ceilings.
To address settlement cracks, many recommend replastering, sanding, applying a painter’s fleece, and painting. However, that is quite expensive. Alternatively, we were offered priming and painting — significantly cheaper, but will every unevenness and crack be visible afterwards? Are there any other options?
Looking forward to your opinions.

So, I plan to proceed with the walls based on the initial condition as follows:
Fill in dents, sand the walls
Prime
Wallpaper with fleece Conpart 4090
Final coat of paint
It’s not just about settlement cracks, but also that the raw painted plaster is much more sensitive and shows every little flaw.

8 years in the house. No cracks visible on the walls. The usual joints, of course, such as wall/ceiling connections on the upper floor.
Wall structure:
Calcium silicate brick – plaster Q2 – primer – painting fleece – wall paint
Concrete ceilings plastered without fleece, only primer + wall paint; no cracks here either.

That’s all a matter of personal preference...
We don’t have any fleece anywhere, not even on the ceiling.
The plaster was finished to level 2, but it was done so neatly that the painters only had to lightly sand it before priming and painting.
And yes, you can clearly see settlement cracks, especially where the stone meets the wood, like on the sloped areas.
We knew that beforehand of course; we wanted to see where it would crack. Next time we paint, we’ll simply paint over them or fill them with acrylic beforehand if necessary.
