So what is the purpose of these mods
no you don't u raging moron. You can transfer junk into a workbench and it will automatically break it down for components. Armor and weapons on the other hand need to be manually broken down.
>>316488009
aren't mods tied to the weapon type? Like, you can't put 10mm extended mags on a pipe gun
>>316488148
This
And always do it at the same place
>>316488148
>>316488361
Sept if it offers multiple components, you don't get those. You only get the component it needed.
You literally can put them in the workshop storage to break them down. Also something that requires one component of a three component item will not delete the other components. There's a small delay but they reappear in your workshop storage.
>>316488484
It keeps the other components, they're a time delay on them reappearing. It's been confirmed.
>>316488148
>load workbench with bunch of junk
>want to build in different place
>have to manually transfer items to the other place instead of just the basic components
There needs to be a "blent" button which dissolves everything into raw material at the workbench.
>>316488484
Also wrong. the spare components are sent to storage as the raw material.
OP got btfo'd
>>316488635
just build a supply route between them and the components will be shared between settlements.
it just works
>>316488635
supply lines faggot.
It allows all raw material from connected settlements through supply lines to be used by the connected towns.
It does however allow you to pull say a rifle from sanctuary's inventory from the gas station. Weapons, armor, meds, and misc items are not transferred. Keep those in one place.
It dramatically increases the ease of fixing up settlements
Just link everything by supply lines.
>>316489085
>try to build supply route
>Set two of them up with my main base
>try to do a third
>It's greyed out for some reason
Welp.
You dont get all the components when storing them in the workshop
Mod when
>>316489107
>does
doesn't
Damn.
>>316489183
You need no more than one supply line leading from one settlement to another.
Making it a web is pointless,
>>316489107
That needs trading posts, right? Which needs Charisma and two perks.
>>316489201
You do. There is just a delay. Keep up with the thread faggot.
>>316489085
>>316489107
>tfw 1 Charisma
>>316489349
That needs 1 rank of Local leader. Which is like 6 points in charisma.
If you don't got that than you are stuck manually lugging shit around.
>>316489298
So wait as long as you have a supply line attached to a settlement you can access that settlement's workshop at any other settlement?
>>316487858
I'm doing this for your own good OP
>>316489497
If you have a supply line attached from sanctuary to the gas station. Those two are linked. If those two are still linked and you have a supply line from the gas station to drive in movie theater then All three are linked.
No need to attach a line from sanctuary to the movies.
>>316489107
So, everything that actually matters can't be transfered, gotcha.
>>316489742
Gotcha. You're literally making a line that goes through all your settlements.
>>316489405
Brother.
>tfw can't make any fucking crafting benches
>>316489772
You don't do all your weapon, armor, powersuit, cooking, and med crafting at Sanctuary?
I only ever stop off at settlements to drop off junk.
>>316489772
>Getting mad that only your junk a.k.a crafting materials are shared between bases and your stored armor and weapons are not
Way to want the game more casualised. What would be the point of setting up your own personal base and house if you can just dump your shit wherever?
Did you even personalize your house in Fallout 3 or NV?
I don't really know what the fuck I'm doing with armor, honestly.
Anybody else NOT been attacked in sanctuary? I have 14 setlers 40 food 40 water and 19 defense? Still nobody has attacked my place in 20 hours of playing. Wat do?
>>316489956
Sanctuary sucks donkey balls! Castle is the #1 base!
>>316489956
>Setting up shop at sanctuary.
Fucking why?
>>316490149
I have about half of that and has been attacked twice. Once by raiders and once by feral ghouls.

Does fast traveling in power armor drain your fuse?
Why did they even put in this shitty minigame.
Who gives a fuck about helping these disgusting retards.
And on top of all that it's this monumental hassle to actually build anything juggling these gigantic inventory lists.
I am actually mad how poorly designed this is and some AAA developer shipped the game in this state.
>>316490339
>Click tab at the top

Whoah this work around took hours for me to figure out!
>>316490238
I have every available workshop in Sanctuary from the start of the game.
I set up Shops at the movie theater.
Everywhere else Corn, Mutfruit, and Tatos Plantations.
Need that starch for adhesives.
>>316490339
or just press left or right to go to the weapons tab than sort by wieght/dmg etc
>>316490339
You know you can filter the list to only show one type of items, right?
>>316490317
>having to adjust your stats drastically in order to get access to all the base building and crafting bullshit
fuck you todd
this is why there needs to be skills

>>316490446
red rocket truck stop faggot
>>316490446
Go to the drive in. It's pretty flat
>>316490446
New Settlers will always prioritize gathering food.
If you have no food yo gather then they just stand around like a bunch of jack asses.
You can tell settlers to change jobs.
>>316490339
Sort that shit bruh.
>>316490446
You can move settlers to other settlements with R in the workshop menu to empty out any settlement you want. You don't actually need anyone to live there.
>>316490525
No it does not. Also selling them when they're at 5% nets you more caps then if they are empty. Make sure to switch em out manually when they get low.
>>316490641
I thought you only needed charisma to unlock the perk needed to set up shops? Do you really need high charisma to make workbenches?
>game hud tells me to build a generator

PLEB
>>316490641
Not really
Fully sets me up for my Bolt action sneaky sniper build no problems.
Replace the Per points in anything else to get whatever else you want.
>>316490934
Local Lead rank 2 makes Benches. That is a rank 6 Charisma perk.
>>316489107
Newfag here. How do I store guns armor and the like in my stash? Do I do it through the appropriate crafting bench of through the workshop.
>>316490967
Build around the hole a put a water purifier in it. Problem solved
>>316491128
Of course, any point distribution will allow you to make a certain build.
>>316487858
>go to workbench
>press T to transfer all junk
Holy shit that was a lot of work!
On a slightly less retarded note, how to scrap salvage stations work? If you really do get free materials from them, they must work at a snail's pace. Building and networking settlements is pretty damn cool but too much of it is left a complete mystery.
>>316491137
Press R.
>>316491137
>Do I do it through the appropriate crafting bench of through the workshop.
All the benches and the workshop in a settlement share the same inventory.
>>316491187
I built around the hole.
I got a nice floating fence and uneven buildings.
>>316489405
>playing an RPG
>not putting points into charisma
It's like you don't know how role playing works.
>>316491031
Then build a house. make no food or defenses
And just sit in stir in it.
You are not forced to do that part of the game.
>>316491137
Either or.
just transfer the items to a bench. Be it the workbench or crafting stations. they all go to the same place in the settlement.
Mind you once you do they can not be accessed from any other settlement.
Only the Junk can. and only through connected supply lines.
>>316490938
You scrapped it bro. R is scrap and you get half mats back. TAB stores it for later use in the workshop and you can use supply lines to easily re-place shit you built in other settlements. Never scrap what you build.
Did you press space to connect a wire from the generator to the radio tower? That's how you get shit to work. You look at how much power the generator supplies and how much the construct you're connecting it to uses and build accordingly.
>>316491031
Send. Them. Elsewhere. With. R.
>>316491042
>>316491128
Fug.
>>316491137
The workshop is considered your personal stash that junk can be shared through with the local leader perk. You can access your guns armor ect at any workshop-bench (armor bench, weapon bench) within the settlement you placed your gear in (I think) Press R to transfer instead of build.

The fucking irony.
>>316490485
It's like you really read some online strategy guide that instructs you to do exactly that! Hurray for free thinking!
>>316488009
if you get the scrapper perk you can get rarer components from scrapping modded guns, like screws and corks and stuff
also you can only put mods taken from a gun on the same type of gun
I like how the the Settlement stuff is an outside version of Fallout Shelter
>want to make comfy settlement out of the Drive In

So do I really need to build a radio just to get people to come?

>>316491630
whateva nigga. Meanwhile I'm a persuasive mother fucker who never has to bride and gets 30% discounts from all women. Also I can kill them faster and build settlements as a proper mayor.
Yeah nah enjoy you sneaking with guns skill though.
>>316492035
>vault
>upgrade
nah
>>316491613
You should look up supply line maps from the Civil War.
>cant even get controls right
>somehow expects them to get crafting right
>>316491637
What? The Local Leader perk tells you that you can create supply lines. Simple thinking would lead you to believe that you need someone (a settler) do work that trade-route. And even if you are retarded and didn't think that a new option (Q) shows up when you select a settler in the workshop menu, which if you had any interest in doing the base-building there's a tutorial quest that teaches you how to assign people to do shit.
>Assign settler from Sanctuary to Red Rocket in the form of a supply line
Easy as fuck man. No guide needed.
>>316491913
First thing I thought too.
>>316491971
If you own a settlement you go up to a settler or companion, enter the workshop menu and press R to transfer them to a different owned settlement.
>>316491971
I can't remember how but I'm pretty sure you can tell people to move. Might only be the main characters you can do it to though
There is literally 0 reason to build shit in this game.
>>316491534
So say I wanted to store my mini gun because it weighs a fuck ton, but didn't wanna break it down for mats. Just a place for keeping it until I break out the PA. how do I do this?
I'm literally cancer.
>>316492079
B-but i want to be able to build my own vault. Start with the entrance and build it however i want all the way to the reactor. It would be fun desu
>>316492321
It has no RPG elements it has shit gunplay the crafting and house building are the only things it has going for it.
>>316492321
Fun? There's 0 reason to play games in the first place. It's entertainment.
>>316492419
If you've chosen a settlement you really like and wanna make it your "home" just to go a workbench, doesn't matter which, and press R to enter the transfer menu. Then it's just a matter of dumping it into the workshop. It won't even get broken down automatically for parts, only junk does that. Just think of workbenches as a container you can also build stuff on.
>>316492149
How the fuck do you power attack? I know bash is pressing it and grenade is holding it down.
Is power attack the same thing as bash but when you're holding a melee weapon?
>>316492149
2bh fampei all you have to do is
>hold alt
> grand
>tap alt
>melee
It still pisses me off though.
>swarmed by ghouls
>try to melee to get some room
>your leg has been crippled.
>>316492708
Yes. You only get power attacks when using a melee weapon or unarmed. If you have a gun your power attack is a bash.
>>316492165
Shut up, fag. You said almost word-for-word exactly what a guide said right down to the whole "hurr use red rocket to store companions are all junk!". Jackass.
>>316492745
that is idiotic why are they even on the same button and more importantly why cant they be separated so a sane person can play?
>>316492708
Yes.
>>316492701
Senpai thank you. I feel like you were in the other fallout 4 Q&A threads.notice me
>>316492948
Companions have places they automatically go to when dismissed or swapped with another companion but you can choose right when you're dismissing them where to go. I chose red rocket as my house so I just sent them all there.
When you enter a workbench you're literally given an option "T" to store all junk. It doesn't take a scientist to realize that junk is important now.
Stop getting upset that you needed to be told by a guy on the internet to do something simple.
>>316493140
You're welcome friend. I'm just trying to help a bit even if I apparently come across as a guide-reading faggot for understanding things. No offense.
>>316492321
Storage, crafting benches, supplylines to share mats between settlements, and scavaging stations to make settlers search for supplies. There is also stores, but I haven't fucked around with them yet.
>>316490564
>I am too lazy to do fake work in a video game
Ok someone fucking break this component shit down for me. I have a ton of junk yet I can't build shit. I just want a long range scope for my fucking sniper, goddamnit
>>316493723
>I have a ton of junk yet I can't build shit.
You need the specific componants and perks.
do you have to be autistic to enjoy the base building in this game?
>>316490641
he need somthing to compensate for the removal of skills and all around casualness of the game
>>316493723
Are you working on that scope in a weapons bench in a settlement you didn't link to your other settlements?
also you need adhesive and Fiber optics for most weapons.
Adhesive is easy to get. Just grow tatos, Mutfruit, and corn. Mix that shit with pure water in the cooking station and you got starch. naturally made 5 adhesive per starch.
>>316493723
go to a settlement and store all your juk and components there at the workbench.
Then go to a weapons bench in that same settlement and build your modifications.
>>316493723
You can "tag" a part you want to make when crafting and when you go out looking for shit junk you picked up with have a little magnifying glass next to signify that it has the components you need.
Like, say you needed rubber to build a laser sight. Tag that shit and now all radios you look at with have a magnifying glass.
Eventually you just learn to pick up fucking everything. If you can't break it down then ittle show up in the MISC category and you can just dump it or sell it for caps.
>>316488484
This is wrong. I can tell and I just started playing today.
I throw all my junk in the workbench and have it auto scrap shit. After a while I notice some crafting components I'm using don't come from anything and aren't specifically anything I picked up, so it has to be leftover materials from auto-scrapped junk. They just aren't visible in the menu right away.
>Three farms linked to my castle.
>One makes tatos, one makes mutt and this is one is going to be for corn.
How long did it take you to become starch sufficient?

>>316494523
I do this in every fallout game and it never pays off. For some reason I think there will be some NPC that will buy pre war cash at a high price and there never is. I always have a mountain of paper useless money by the end of every game.
>>316494523
>pre-war money
What does this shit even give ?
I just sell it for caps.
>>316494523
I've decided to collect Pre-war money in every Fallout game since 3. I like having this imaginary second goal. Have to be careful in 4 since it counts as junk, so I always make trips back to Red Rocket to store it away.
>>316494453
I'm aware that food/water/caps from stores get slowly auto-transferred to your workshop over time, but I recently made a new character so I'm still small-time. I have like, two corn, two mutfruits, and two tatoes in sanctuary.
It helps that I don't really plan on modding until I get at least rank-2 in the modding perks.
>>316494523
Yep. Everything in the game is either a weapon, armor, junk, misc., ammo, or aid.
Pick up literally everything if you can. Fucking strong back is basically a must-have if you plan on hoarding junk to craft. Although some shit like folders, burnt paper, and overdue books aren't junk and should be ignored or sold for 0-1 caps.
>>316494940
Pre-war money gives cloth, which you need for beds and I think some armor mods.
In your pip-boy at the junk tab you can press C to check what shit breaks down into.
>>316495086
Is red rocket connected to your other settlements? If it is you might be breaking it down without noticing.
>>316493723
Every piece if junk laying around is composed of diffrent mateials. Usually plastic or wood or some such shit. But sometimes useful stuff like screws and nuclear materials and adhesives.
Pick up everything you see, and store it in your workbench. You don't have to scrap it, the worksbench does this for you. If the work bench scraps, say, a toy car for plasticcs, the additional screw will be stored in the work bench but there is a slight delay.
The weapon - and armor mod benches tells you what materials you need to build certain mods. usually screws and adhesives. Now it's just a mstter of figuring out what pieces of junk have highest priority while you run arund and get beaten tk shit by ghouls.
If you enter workbench mode (the mode that lets you build walls and turrets and stuff) you can scrap most things lying around. Trees, streetlights, ocasionally an entire ruined house. A good source for wood and steel if you want to wall in your setttlement or somthing.
>>316495236
>not turning overdue books into the library
>>316494453
Your starch game is on point, son. An inspiration to all of us.
>>316495349
Oh shit you can do that?
Is there something you can do with folders too?
why are there only like one variant of each gun type, the mod system is cool but it seems like an excuse for the shitty weapon variety, along with the stupid borderlands-style legendary weapons. Are there even hand-placed unique weapons any more?
>>316495725
There is hardly any variety outside of mods, it's utter trash.
>>316495725
There are several hand placed weapons out in the world akin to deadric weapons from elder scrolls. But the stuff you will find is probably better
>>316495725
What do you mean, one variant of each gun type? I have like 7 diffrent pistols, each in it's own caliber.
>>316495725
You see a unique in the very beginning of the game. According to http://fallout4map.com/ there are around 50 unique weapons in the game.
Yes, I am aware that map also gives locations to things like fat men. It's why I said "around".
>>316493559
What mods are going to be game changing/best improvements.
>>316495915
Finding unique stuff in FO3 and NV was so much fun. Those games were so good at satisfying my looting desires. In 4 I'm basically just running around picking up trash so I can upgrade my weapons I've had since the beginning, or settlement.
I hope someone makes a great weapon mod.
>>316488635
Yeah this is really necessray, just make a scrap all command and it's vastly better
Also have a menu that shows you all the resources in your bases, you have component view for your current inventory already so it's really not that difficult. You could also make that shit a special workbench, something like the stock keeper in Dwarf Fortress
>>316491637
>>316492165
>>316492948
Fuck off faggot, I do the same thing because Red Rocket is comfy as fuck.
>>316488635
Workbenches should have universal inventory like the postal boxes from NV. The way it is now just forces you to fast travel back and forth which is tedious and unimmersive desu
>>316491637
>do most efficient thing
>omg you used a guide
No anon I'm just not stupid
>>316488190
it's this. I can scrape mods off of 10mm and put them on other 10mms, but I can't take a 10mm night score or something and put it on a sniper rifle.
>>316496151
The mods you're allowed to make get better the farther down the list you go, and the best mods usually require the max rank in gun nut or science.
Like, for the chasis rank 1 heavy will increase its damage by like, 3 points for example, but if you have gun nut rank 3 and are able to unlock the one farther down the list it will increase the damage by like, 20.
Generally you want the more expansive shit at the bottom of the mod list.
>>316496448
Supply lines man. Set up supply lines and all your junk becomes universal and you never have to lug anything around.
>But what about my guns and armor?
Not going to happen. It ruins the game for most of us who want to feel like they have a home base. I'm sure a mod will cater to your casualness.
>>316496823
>Supply lines man. Set up supply lines and all your junk becomes universal and you never have to lug anything around.
This forces you to put points in charisma doesn't it?
The perk system is so stupid. 1 in charisma lets you get all ranks of the bartering perks, but you need 3 to get the lonewolf aka "fuck charisma altogether" perk. Can't wait for mods to overhaul the entire crap
>Supply lines
HOW DO THEY WORK
>Set up shop in Castle
>Figure I'll link all my settlements to it and take in mad dosh
>Link two settlements
>Get to the third
>it has castle greyed out
>But if I go to castle, I can send out more supply lines to those same bases
What am I supposed to just lose half my people to make this work?
>>316496823
>casualness
>fast travelling makes you a hardcore player
>>316496823
>I'm sure a mod will cater to your casualness.
There's nothing hardcore about this system though, it just require you to spend a little more time. Now if there wasn't fast travel then bases would be much more important and you'd have a point
>TFW it will probably be a year before you can actually build more than 5 fucking items in settle creation interface
>>316497039
You know there's no level cap and you can level up your special stats right? If you really, really don't want to invest points into charisma right away that's only five levels of charisma leveling to unlock supply lines.
And from what you're saying it seems like you have multiple settlements and are working on building them all. Why wouldn't you invest in Local leader if you were doing that?
My character is terrible in melee but I don't complain when I do shit damage with a sledgehammer.
>find broken shit in the wilderness
>can't scrap it
My autism exploding.
>>316497452
>mod will enable scrapping and building everywhere
>some autist will scrap the whole map and build a huge town
>>316496365
I agree. Also just found out I can build on top of red rocket don't know how high but I'ma do it
>>316497042
Make a chain, not a web.
>>316497135
>>316497268
Do people usually not bunker down in a single place and make it their house? Why would you want to constantly move your weapons and armor place-to-place on a regular basis? I could see you doing it maybe one or twice when you decide to pack up and move to a different house like when you moved from megaton to tenpenny tower in 3 or from novac to big MT in NV.
>>316497725
Especially since you have fast travel, there is no reason for any distance related storage since you can just warp home from anywhere.
>>316497725
I actually only use rocket but that's partially because the whole system is so inconvenient without the perk, and still lackluster afterwards
If I have it all in one place I can at least chek my total components by looting it all and enabling component view in my inventory
>>316490339
It amazes me how stupid some of you are. Like...these are the people that shitpost about BLUNDER OF THE CENTURY.ect..people that can't even figure out a mechanic that was in the two previous games
>>316493701
*piper disliked that*
So, noob question:
Can you send out people to raid like grocery stores and shit to gather materials?
Or slaves?
Can I set up a slaving settlement?
>>316498006
Supply webbing doesn't work apparently, only chaining. So if you want to have everything you own in red rocket you can have that as your starting point and just make your chain from there.
In the end if you do get invested in base-building once you chain all your settlements together then it doesn't matter where you put your junk because you'll be able to access it at any settlement in the world.
>>316492064
>RP
>In FO4
It's like you've never played an actual RPG anon. My heart bleeds for you.
>>316487858
I literally don't have that. I have maxed stores and just get insane caps from trading between my settlements. This leads to me getting around 600 caps per trip then I just buy shipments in bulk. I have 400 of every single component in most of my settlements right now. Feels really really good
>>316497713
But chains dont work, it only works between the two connected settlements.
>>316493126
Consoles anon. Probably didn't have a button left or some shit.
>>316498376
Fellow raider here, no you can't do either of those things. But you can put all your settlers in raider armor and use edgy skull posts to pretend your a raider
That's pretty much what my whole game has been so far. Pretending I'm a raider because Fallout 4 sure as fuck wasn't designed around the idea that your character would be anything other than chaotic good
>>316497039
Charisma is needed if you want to build towns and shit. Just as strenght or whatever is needed to be a melee badass. I hate to sound like a smartass but this is like, video games mechanics 101.
>>316498441
Yeah sure, after you got the perk it's much more convenient, but the game could still use a dedicated menu showing you your component count and allowing you to designate which ones to highlight
>>316498602
No, every settlement connected shares all its junk/components, unless there was a patch. Stop talking bulshit.
>>316498602
Nope. If you connect red rocket to sanctuary and then sacntuary to a farm you'll be able to build in the farm using junk stored at Red Rocket.
Right now I have three chains, all starting at sanctuary and heading east, south, and southeast.
>>316497986
you can't fast travel while overburdened though. Or did they change that?
>>316498731
Well thats fucking bullshit.
If I can supply my settlers with weapons, I want them to go resource farming for me god dammit. I don't even see how that would be evil, just "go scrounge the wasteland and big home shit"
Fuckin lazy shits.
>>316498932
If you have the last rank in the strong back perk you can fast travel when overburdened.
>>316498771
You can tag specific components so be highlighted when out in the world collecting junk.
And it tells you how many components you have when you're crafting.
>>316499097
Un assigned villagers generate supplies and there is a work bench you can assign them to that will generate resource. But you don't get to open menus and tell them to go and raid some assholes
>>316499097
Isn't that what the scavenger station is for?
>>316498778
Or hell, there could a be a mod that vastly increases the importance of settlements in general. Remove fast-travel, reduce carry limit, increase raids on settlements, make successful raids steal your resources, implement manual supply transports that you have to accompany and defend from attacks, sleep in camps only, you could go all out

I know that, but it only shows you that while crafting a specific thing. I want a menu that shows me all the resources in the base, and allows me to select which ones to highlight in the world.
>>316499385>DELETE THISI'm still not sure what you mean by this.
>>316498358
piper really dislikes how many people I eat after killing them.
>>316499153
Yeah good ole strongback. I never used it, me and Boone always traveled light. Ahhh, Boones....
Is there a community box ?
Like you put guns and clothes/armor in it and settlers will pick whatever they need according to their S.P.E.C.I.A.L. and equip it.
>>316499471
>FUCKING DELETE THIS!
>>316499401
So you want an easy menu list of all the components you currently have, and will let you tag the ones you're low on. I'm not sure if there is one but I'd have to get back onto the game to see. Give me a moment and I'll see if I can find something like that.
>>316499471
I'll spoonfeed you on this, only because I think this is something everyone should see.

>forced to have companions follow you and get in your way

>instead have to personally fast travel back home every half hour to drop off loads of junk from everywhere, severely slowing down the game and constantly interrupting exploring
>mfw the one good use for companions is not possible
So if I get the supply link perk do I have to manually choose what settlements are linked or does it link all automatically?
>>316495915
>instead of 25-50 unique weapons, most of which look identical to normal weapons, you now have weapons and a plethora of weapon mods
>now instead of every single person either carrying an assault rifle, hunting rifle, or pistol, every person carries a unique, customized, procedural generated weapon

You are trash.
>>316488361
Unless you have supply lines.
If you have supply lines, then all of the workbench inventories are shared.
>>316489107
how do i build a supply line i have the perk but i cant find it
>>316487858
>People don't know about auto-scrapping
This is just like saving GMP by using "Return to ACC" in MGSV. Devs really need to emphasize these mechanics.
>>316499707
>tfw can't have more than one campagnion
One fucking companion is useless when you gotta fight 6-10 enemies at a time
>>316499309
Sounds kind of fun but that would turn it into Settlement Management Simulator 2287. Always be checking your settlements, never be no time to fuck around.
>>316499634
Exactly. My current method for checking my stores is just storing everything in one settlement, putting only junk in the workbench, and then using component view in inventory. That's kinda shit, though, and it doesn't let me highlight stuff. Hell, only component view for storages would help a lot.
I couldn't find a menu like that ingame
>>316499779
Enter workshop menu and target a spare settler. There's an option to create a supply line.
>>316499727
Yeap. You go into the workbench editor mode for a settlement, find a settler, push Q on him, and then tell him which town to go to.
If A has a supply line to B and B has a supply line to C, then C has a supply line to A. So you don't need to send a villager to every settlement you own.
>>316499654
>>316499601
Oh, I've seen this. I didn't make the connection.
I was thinking it was a reference to a part of The Cask of Amontillado I didn't remember or some Chris-chan.
How exactly does the scavenger workstations work?
>>316499927
Alright thanks, gonna go get the perk next level then.
>>316499838
Yeah, couple it with a survival mod with hunger, thirst, need for sleep and stuff and you could have a pretty fun concept
It could also be really tedius and suck balls, though, finding the balance would probaby be pretty hard
>>316489107
>>316488635
>>316487858
I don't play Fallout 4 but this shit sounds convoluted as fuck. Wasn't the crafting supposed to be the highlight of this game?
>>316500003
Well, you have food and water from your settlement so eating/drinkin isn't a problem anymore.
>>316499918
thank you so much
>>316499390
For companions you have to have them follow you, and then dismis them. When you tell them to fuck off, you get a choice of telling them where to go.
For settlers, I think you have to set up recruitment radio beacons or what ever to make people show up in your settlement. Not sure if you can tell them to move once they show up.
>>316500084
>put all junk in one place
>craft anything you want
Not that hard, anon.
I got the Local Leader perk to set up supply lines, how do I use it?
Is there a way to share resources between settlements? I figured that's what the perk would do. Makes it hard not to just focus on one area and ignore the others.
>>316499832
>can't fight 6-10 enemies at a time
>even while dogmeat literally holds them still for you
or
>he doesn't order his companions into advantage points and have them attack enemies while you sneak behind and get sneak crits
confirmed shitter
>People making supply lines.
I just got one settlement super fucking huge then sent everyone to make supply lines at all the little shitter settlements.
Just got to connect any new ones to ti and bam.
Settlment web > Supply line
>>316500190
That's not what these anons are saying.
>>316500126
To balance that you could make them more expensive, require rare resources for example. In the early game you'd have to scavenge for resources, but in mid-game your settlements could supply that stuff for you, unless you're venturing out really far.
Why is some shellshocked housewife even gathering recruits and followers in the first place?
Why is no one else in this god forsaken place competent enough to rebuild anything after 200 years?
>>316500282
They're talking about building multiple settlements. You can really ignore all that stuff- dump all your junk in one place with all the workshops, and you're basically done
>>316494453

She's a lawyer. Her housewifeyness might not translate to the court room.
I think you should play at something harder than easy then go south of diamond city
>>316500003
Yeah I find this is the backside of these sort of ideas when it comes to vidya. It might be the most challenging and fun thing ever, but more likeley it will be a frustrating and stressful chore of a game.
Am I the only one who thinks knowing what each settler is doing is super hard, I wish you could rename them that would make everything super easy. or a window to see if someone is not working.
The only way I have found so far is giving them hats. Army helmet for guards, welding googles for scrappers, bowler hats for vendors. ect.
>>316500372

Is it possible for you to just throw your shit into a box or chest like you did in Skyrim?
>>316499634
>>316499401
It seems that component view is only available in my pip-boy. So the best you can do if you wanted that particular menu is to withdraw all your junk, go to the junk tab in your inventory, then press c for component view. there you can see all the components you have and you can tag them for search there.
If you already know what you're low on you can skip all that and just withdraw one item that has that component or find an item that does and tag it from your pip-boy.
>>316499745
There are around 50 unique weapons in the game, all of which can be modded, but not scrapped. http://fallout4map.com/
There's a list. Have fun~
>>316499884
It seems component view is just for shit in your pip-boy itself. I'm sorry to say but you'll have to high-light an item for search there.
>>316500273
What you described is still a supply-line.
A web is when you have multiple lines connected to multiple settlements, which is a waste of settlers.
>>316500497
I would probably enjoy this since I also enjoy other somewhat tedious game, like management and town building ones. Starting out with jack shit and slowly building up an empire with occasional fuckups is pretty enjoyable, to me.
>Running around Swan Pond causes framerate to suicide, dropping to as low as 2 fps at some parts

It wouldn't make for a very fun game. "Welcome to the 23d century! Everything is actually good now, despite the nuclear harmageddon. Enjoy riding paddle boats around the pond, or partake in the Ice Cream Buying mini game. That's it!"

A sort of easy workaround is dressing them up diffrently. I put gas masks on all my farmers, for instance. New settlers usually wear pre war clothes or somethng weird, usually stick out like a sore thumb. But yeah, a personel management systems would be nice.

They should just go full on "Only underground is survivable and overland is utterly hazardous" instead of this halfass "settlers with farms and raiders" shit.
Because there's no reason for all this brick rubble trash piles and skeletons and freestanding buildings after 200 years. The world looks more like 1 or 2 years after a disaster. In 200 years there would be complete repopulation, given the relative normal environment.
>>316500668
Yeah, I can see that, man. But I guess most of us just want a Wasteland Shoot and Loot game, and Betgesda is wise (or greedy) enough to supply to the demands :/

I am not an expert, but 200 years a seems reasonable enough time to wait before repopulating the earth after a nuclear holocaust.
And a reoccuring theme for the series seens to be people trying to establish food and water supplies for whatever settlements they might have set up. Cleaning the place up is probably fairly liw on the priority list.
I'll grant you this, though. If I ever set up a post-apoc society, I'd make sure to clean out all the literall skeletons lying about. You could probably chalk it up on FO artists trying to drve home their point, but the rubble and corpses just sittng there is kinda weird.
