There's a million Fallout 4 threads about how much it sucks, but I just want to discuss the game. What's everyone doing?
I just took forever making this because the floor I used is a complete pain in the ass to get it to snap to other pieces.
Any tips for basebuilding to make it easier?
>>316507647
Make use of the foundation tools. Building walls and floors on uneven land makes the end result look like shit because there's going to be gaps in your walls and the floor.
But good start though, I'm digging the fortress vibe. I love looking at other peoples work so I can copy their good ideas.
>>316507647
I'm disappointed that the alien blaster is needed in fo4. But otherwise it feels like skyrim combined with fallout 3
>>316507647
Just herpady derpidy durr, hurr durr durp diddly derpidy durr.
buy fallout 4, in stores now, 10/10 game, i'm not a shill.
>>316507647
I remember reading something about poles and being able to clip walls through terrain by assigning said walls to said the poles. I'll see if I can dig it up.
>>316507647
I'm putting together shops and supply lines for my settlements right now.
>>316507647
Game? also, is it compatible with emulators? I don't have a physical GameCube.
>>316507975
That's why I used the shack foundation. I couldn't get it to look right by building on the ground.
Now I just need to set up some crops and get people to live here.
They should have just made this The Sims: Fallout.
Any good mods yet that unfuck the UI?
The crafting and building ruined the game
I can't be bothered to do any of that shit, all I wanted was a good RPG. All of this feels like such a waste of time
My base. I've added a few rooms to it since this picture but this is the general idea.
>>316508473
>>316507647
where do you folks build your bases? I have build up all the traders in sanctuary, but I dont really like the place, is there some other wide open and preferably flat location that has a water body?
>>316508779
The drive in.
It's a big open, flat area.
Well it's not completely flat, but it's the closest you're going to get.
what the fuck am I doing
>>316508610
>vidya
>waste of time
You don't even have to craft shit you know?
>>316507647
Tfw my base is shit compared to that
What are the best items to scrap copper from? Also am I doing it wrong, or is running power lines a pain in the ass?
>>316509013
As if the game wasn't completely built around that

You all suck ass at making bases.
You faggots should go look at fallout general, someone built a small replica of CNPP
Is it true that you can upgrade the ripper to become a chainsword?
>>316507647
>What's everyone doing?
Being stuck on Dangerous Minds because the quest broke on me. Now i'm just exploring the wasteland in a bond suit
>>316509472
Yes
How many base pistols are in the game? I wanted to specialize on handguns but so far I've only seen 10mm, Pipe and .44.
I'm talking about ballistics here, get that faggy laser shit away from me.
I want to create a massive tower as my city. Or a castle.
>>316509249
If you think it's a waste of time don't do it anon I just like the fact every item you pick up has a use. I've only had a little go at building stuff but it's easy to store and restart give it ago m8
>>316509843
Nevermind, just checked the wiki and it turns out there's only 5.
I kinda liked the game but this shit is unacceptable, even with all the mods when it's basically just a matter of gradually upgrading yourself into the best ones.
>>316509843
Get the deliverer. Most fun in my opinion
>>316510089
You can do that if the maximum height isn't too low.
You guys are so much more creative than I am. Everything I make looks like shit. Pointers please
>>316510647
I've got a 3 story building already.
>>316507647
Thats what /fog/ is for
How well does it play with a controller v. kb+m?
Anybody make a giant tower yet?
>>316509628
>Now i'm just exploring the wasteland in a bond suit
My based nigga.
Wanna fuck?
>>316509843
Use wood floors. One of them has concrete foundations under it. Im making a concrete tower myself.
>>316512535
where is this?
>>316510901
how do you do that? I cant force this game to align a wall on top of a wall no matter what I do, please dont tell me I have to attach a roof, I am trying to have a high ceiling
>>316512535
Goodneighbor, in The Third Rail
>>316513076
>>316513180
was meant to you sorry
>kill legendary radroach
>get never ending double barrel shotgun
who the fuck designed this? this weapon is game breaking. The whole point of using a double barrel is high damage and high rate of fire at the trade off of only having 2 shots.
>>316507997
>I'm disappointed that the alien blaster is needed in fo4
Just about 10 hours in. Why is this?
My current favourite place is the drive-in Cinema, my first thing to do is wall the entire thing off so my settlers don't get murdered as they aren't very good in a fight, then building defences on each corner and placing turrets there, I removed the radioactive barrels in the water thus removing the radiation and put the water purifier in there, planted a load of mutfruit trees in one corner aswell, only 4 settlers there as I started with it about an hour ago, but I've run out of wood and can't figure out how to get more, already scrapped the wood inside the settlement, can't scrap wood from another and transport it over either, which sucks, as a have about 360 wood pieces in red rocket that I don't need
>>316513359
I'm guessing some of these legendary weapons are randomly generated.
>>316513776
Raise your charisma to level 6 so you can get the Local Leader perk. It lets you use one of your followers to set up supply lines between settlements.
Then it's just a matter of linking each settlement to the next one in a chain so all resources are shared in between.
I don't think you can link Red Rocket though, so take your wood pieces and put them in Sanctuary instead.
>>316507647
can someone tell me the point of building a base
is there any benefit besides allocating weak vendors that dont really sell anything
are consumables made so i can make weapons constantly
whats the point
Anyone know where I can get more 5mm ammo?
Just found this and I'm kinda lacking after going Rambo with it a few too many times in Power Armor.
>>316509197
Remember the power connectors have a radius. I killed myself wiring up the inside of a building, then realized I could much more easily run wire around the OUTSIDE and the connectors would project a "power aura" into the interior. That was a big time-saver.
Also if you open up your inventory and go to "Component View" you can manually flag different components so they get highlighted in the world for you. It requires you to have one of the component in your inventory (it can be still inside an object like a toaster).
Anyway copper is inside almost anything electrical. Clocks, coffee pots, hot plates, lamps, and so on.
>>316514291
Stores have a very limited supply for me. Just look for Super Mutants, they'll carry them and often drop 500 at a time.
>>316507647
>What's everyone doing?
getting wrecked by super mutants, survivals pretty tough, thank fuck I had >1000 minigun ammo and >30 rockets, even then I died twice already
thankfully a 2nd BoS vertibird was flying by and decided to help me, given that I already killed the guys with rocket launchers they should last longer then the first vertibird
>what's everyone doing
Waiting for my refund so I can buy a better game.
Give me a call when they fucking fix the CPU and GPU problems for mid range PCs.
I wish I had a $2000 computer so that I could play this game at a reasonable framerate :(
How do you make this game not run at a garbage framerate
>>316514282
The Scavenging station shop spawns random materials for you.
As for the shops, they are poorly conceived. They apparently require that you have unassigned settlers to shop there. So anybody who's working, which is often everybody, won't use them. This also makes it pointless to, say, build one of every shop, because staffing them all will cut in to the number of people available to use them. My settlements are only around 15 people or so right now, however. So if I had a bunch more it might start to improve. If there are people to shop, the vendors will generate an income for you that gets deposited into your base inventory (Accessed via workshop).
They also act as vendors for selling things to, which is handy since vendors have such a small amount of caps on hand if your goal is to make money by selling shit you've found.
>>316510438
I don't think that's complete - I've seen a snubnose and a bolt-action pipe pistol too, only a few hours in.
>>316514549
and they downed the second one too, what the fuck does BoS make their aircraft from, paper?
>>316514168
You can link Red Rocket, and any settlement you have control of.
>>316512847
Sure m8
>>316514910
There's one of those exo suits and a bunch of ammo, mini nukes and a fatman launcher thing at the top of the satellite tower on the far end
>>316507647
those threads do discuss the game though
they discuss how terrible it is
playing dress up was fun for a little bit.
Why are the system requirements so huge?
8GB of ram?
i5?
>>316515217
*shits respectfully in your direction*
>>316515327
because bathesda can't optimize for shit
>>316507647
>I just want to discuss the game
HOLY
FUCKING
SHIT
>skyrim
>>316515081
thanks, maybe I'll actually make it then
>>316515234
is she any good? I figured a melee companion would be useless
>>316514392
Cool, thanks.
Really enjoying the game so far. Kellogg's pistol is so good. I'm using it to cleanse the downtown Boston area of raiders and muties.
How can I get some decent lightning for my house?
All of the light sources barely do anything.
Thinking of buying a plasma pistol. 28 physical and 28 energy damage seems like a lot but raiders don't drop it like they do other ammo.
>tfw I didn't know that I was missing more than half the perks because you can't use the mouse wheel to scroll down the list
>tfw I realized after close to 30 hours in game you have to hold down right click and pull your mouse down to see the rest of the available perks
My character build is so fucked up, but somehow I'm still doing fine, I've just been upgrading the same skills almost constantly
>cant launch the game without it crashing instantly
its fallout 3 all over again shoot me
>>316517102
It's far worse than fallout 3
