ITT: The building part of FO4
Why is nobody talking about this? Building things is a nightmare with the retarded snapping. The walls with door holes have the holes in the middle but stairs always snap to the sides of the floor boards. Did nobody at Bethesda actually try to build something and notice this? Mod to remove this stupid shit when?
>>316567640
i agree, cant put roofs on anything and when they do attach they are always facing outside the structure.
I currently have all the beds for my settlers in a room with no roof and gaps in every corner.
I have fonder memories of Halo's Forge mode.
I don't think most people playing FO4 care that much about the building stuff. I've barely touched it.
There's also this. Most of the roof pieces curve upward and that's nice unless I need to put more than 2 pieces together. Any flat roof will only snap to the bottom of the other roof pieces so the entire roof must be flat. Is there also a way to unlock more building materials? I feel sorry for anyone on consoles who tries to get into this to take a break from questing.

>no way to properly manage your settlers at a glance
Fucking this. Every time I set up a new structure that requires a settler I have to remember or guess who isn't assigned to something. Then i have to go back and make them harvest food after I see my food plummet because I chose the wrong one.
>>316568907
>no way to supply smaller settlements with watter or food from larger ones
Actually, this you can do.
here is how I have done up the Red rocket place
its a work in progress so shit will most likely change
>>316567640
They basically took the GECK tutorial set pieces from Fallout 3, cut your selection in half, and added forced snapping. It's absolutely terrible. You shouldn't have to do this in first person, nor should you have to do this without noclip.
>Try to build a wall around a settlement
>It looks disgusting and is floating everywhere
How do I fix this?
>>316569384
explain please, b0ss
IT JUST WORKS
>>316570853
There's a button for lowering your wall into ground, fucking retard
>>316570947
What's the button, dickface?
>>316567640
It's too much time investment. I don't want to play the Sims, I just want to explore and do my own thing. Do I have to bother?
>>316570853
use tcl in the console as it lets you clip structures together
is there anyway to force people in smaller settlements to fuck off to bigger ones?
>>316570910
One of the perks lets you set up supply chains between settlements and another one lets you set up shops.
>>316570985
Im not gonna tell you
>>316571049
This. Nothing about building sounds appealing in Fallout. Can you skip this shit entirely and just wander the wasteland or is it mandatory to complete the game?
Was trying to buildthe teleporter into the institute, accidentally built two platforms, so I tried to get rid of one, but couldn't scrap it, so I tried to store it. But because one was stored, it wouldn't let me finish the quest because I still needed to "build" the platform, even though I had a working teleporter set that was fully powered. Idk how I got it to work. I think I stored both platforms and built one right under the giant tower thing and that tricked the game. but fuck i wanted to smash my monitor
>>316571049
I cant say I have gained any direct advantages from building my settlements bigger.
Maybe the artillery bit, but that was a quest in itself and not part of regular settlement building..
>>316568907
Mods will fix it:^)
>>316571138
It's not like I wanted to know it or anything, asshole.
I just want to build shit that doesn't look like it's been through 200 years of bomb and wasteland decay.
You know, stuff that instead looks like its actually been recently BUILT?
Hopefully we'll be able to just download towns off of Nexus or something.
>>316571163
You can skip it
>>316571286
Then wait however many months for mod tools
>>316571286
Institute scum.
If only it was gridbased like sims
>>316569685
looks cool anon, true to fallout
Offtopic:
How/where do you get the gauss rifle?
>>316567640
For the reasons you described OP. It's just too much work and not enough reward. I just used the huge prefix wood house for Sanctuary and did all the requirments for it and haven't touched building since.
>>316571570
I found it on a dead Railroad soldier on the quest where you attack their town.
>>316571613
there's a quest where you attack the railroad ludites?
>>316571131
I have supply routes set up between all of them, weird. Does it only add them if the indicator is in the red?
Mods will fix it
Bethesda knew this
>>316571657
Yeah. It's part of the main quest.
>>316568301
You're insane. It's hella fun.
>>316571686
Ok, rad. I'm level 31 and have barely touched the main quest.
>>316567640
>it just works doe
I just want my 100 Happiness, holy shit.
It will go up to 80~ and then drop down to 60~ for no reason.
Beds are inside, I have a bell, I have decorations, lights, shops and plenty of defense.
Why do they randomly decide to stop being happy?
>>316571723
>>316568301
Eh, I haven't touched it much either desu. I've been saving my resources all for guns.
>>316571743
Humans are selfish as fuck, mang.
>>316570853
>can't place water pumps without them sinking into the earth
Do you even know how water pumps works??
Not even gonna read the rest...
>>316567640
I've taken control of 3 small places because of a quest line with the nigger. How do I access my main stash in those locations? It's a different stash from my stash in sanctuary and that sucks big time.
>>316571902
get the first leadership perk, it's 6 Charisma required.
Then when you highlight someone, instead of command you make them run a supply line to a settlement of your choice.
What I do is, supply run from Sanctuary to the farm. I get a settler from the farm to run a line to Red Rocket, and then another Settler from Red Rocket to the farm in the Northeast and so on.
This allows for all to be connected and share the same junk/materials.
>>316568482
nothing wrong with flat roofs. it means you can build generators up there and run wire down through your building
>>316567640
What do you expect this to be dwarf fortress? Just be happy it exists at all
(its just a marketing ploy dude that's how bethesda games always turn out. A low effort, half assed implementation of something that would have been cool that is only technically there so they can slap it on the box/get mouthbreathers to talk about it)
>>316572105
so does this mean i can run supplies from a shit hole and take all its resources then cancel my supply runner and ditch the shit hole but keep all its good loot?
>come back to sanctuary
>super mutants everywhere sand some huge dog like creatures
>>316572230
Build turrets.
I have 3.
Never been attacked.
>>316572270
I had 5 at that point. They were coming from all sides. My defense is 118 right now.
>>316572105
What? Isn't junk already shared between your workshops?
>>316567640
>know about the shitty pathing scripting that they do
>see this building thing
>know that everything will be fucked, no matter what because the npc's cannot navigate
Its like putting a v8 turbocharged engine inside of volkwagen family car.
The engine block will drive out of the car on its own the moment you put the keys into the ignition.
Such a really dumb choice to make for a game. Practically speaking these things have no value to this game.
I know of many gmod submods that assign health to objects, making terrain somewhat destructable and also fun in combat with other players. But here it doesnt matter. Its all aesthetics. Pretty for screenshots but without any functional value.
>>316572368
as long as your defense is higher than your food and water intake.
The settlement stuff is boring fluff that should've been left as a mod.
>>316572384
Nope.
Not by default.
Pain in the ass ain't it?
>>316572605
How do I get food higher than 13? I can only build 6 of the same.
>>316572727
dunno.
I'm not interested in building up my settlements all that much at the moment.
Can I just skip building stuff? Shit gives me a headache when I play.
>>316567640
How do i lower walls/fences into the ground?
Dat height limit. Can't wait for <spoiler>mods on Xbox</spoiler>.
>>316573648
damn only 5 high? i was hoping to make some big towers about 10 high
>>316569685
>not walling the entire settlement
Do you even comfy.
>build a perimeter wall around sanctuary
>almost maxes out the size meter
what's the fucking point if you're so limited ?
Okay guys im making a character on fallout 4, someone give me a fun stat spread to work with
>>316573648
><spoiler>
>>316574496
max out your charisma
>>316574450
You can remove the limit on PC, just find the mod on the nexus.
>>316574616
I did actually my last try b4 save corrupted, max luck max charisma
>>316567640
Fuck me dont get me started.
Trying to build ultimate Poon house for me and cait.
6 hours of bullshit aligning and its still broken. and then it happens.
>Cant build any more stuff
>there is a limit
>im on pc
>why.
WHY.
>>316568115
Thats because forge works. and has a larger limit.
>on the xbox 360
>>316568907
exploration is 10/10 m8
>>316574496
Max Luck Max Charisma
Literally no other way to play.
Couple of questions. First, what does the triangular symbol with the exclamation mark inside it mean when it appears next to a settlement's name in the pipboy? I thought it meant the settlement was under attack but there are no hostiles when I get to the settlement and one of them had no settlers at all but still had the alert.
Second, what's the deal with some of the powered stuff you can set up? What does the siren do? Is there any use for that that powered speaker other than making an annoying buzzing that shifts up tone? What can you do at the terminal if you build it?
>>316571176
The teleporter is supposed to be under the giant tower, retard. All must be on the same power grid as well.
>>316574795
Im thinking of going like 10 in charisma 6ish in luck.
>>316574420
how do i wall up around my settlements when the walls snap together meaning i cant make the most out of the room i got? i just want the walls to not snap together
>>316574496
go for 7 int and i think 5 per and about 5 strength and spread out the remaining points but remember agi doesn't mean shit towards sneaking
>>316567640
>try to build a fence around my town
>fences always clip in the ground
fuck did nobody at Bethesda test this shit?
At the end of the game the brotherhood said i had some new power armor. anyone know where it is?
>>316575162
Is there any high int dialogue?
>>316575251
lolno
There's no low int dialogue, either.
>>316574897
the triangle icon means you dont have enough of something, mostly defences.
as for the powered stuff, i only use that for simple lamps and waterpumps
>>316575251
nope
charisma is the only stat that effects dialogue
>>316567640
Looks like you need to git gud, OP.
>>316575251
oh and almost every chance chat option is to do with getting more caps for a job and its usually only like 50 caps
I'd rather play rust
>try to build a new settlement to start a new life
>can only build some raggy decaying structures with holes in them
What's even the point if i can't make a cozy village for me and my bros to live in?
>>316571665
Is there anything Caspere didn't know?
>>316575482
>Game has crafting and building system
>Get given my own room in Vault81>Get best Waifu, Curie
>Can't even customise my room.

>It just works
>tfw if Obsidian gets to make a new Fallout as well, they will give us a fucking G.E.C.K to make our dream settlement
I walled off the whole of starlight, but its so much area that I'm not gonna use so I think I will change it and just wall off from the back of the building to past where the hole in the ground with water is, cause thats where my pump is.
I also wanna think of a better light sign then an arrow...
>>316575623
i absolutely fucking loved that you could find a vault that actually survived and didn't get fucked up. just to see everyone still alive and doing alright.
I can't wait for mod to fix all those ugly part, I want a GECK and I wanna make some concrete or brick house like in the old fallout.
meanwhile, it's the best I can do
Rate my meat fridge.
>>316575993
Steak/10
>>316571286
You mean like what they have in 1 and 2?
i came across some random bos knights and decoded to see how hard they were to kill in their power armor.
to my surprise, not only were they weak, but they didnt fight back at all, didnt go hostile and im still good with the brotherhood.
i was able to grab all their armor pieces.
it may have been because they were trying to find a far off distant enemy, as they were running frantically and i couldnt speak to them at all.
anyone else find this glitch?
>>316574496
6 - Strongback
4 - Lockpickan
3 - So you don't fall over from a stiff breeze, could go for Penetrator if you wanna be an ebin stealth archer
5 - You can find a special book in your son's bedroom to get Local Leader at 6, leave it at 4 if you're not interested in settlements and put it in INT
6 - Literally required, go for Nuclear Physicist too
1 - >VATSCommando is alright tho
3 -Critical Banker and Better Criticals are okay-ish
>>316575808
yeah so what was the social experiment of vault 81?
>>316576789
dont wanna spoiler it. just look for some little girl in the vault and she'll ask you to rescue her cat. do that and then you can finally do shit.
>>316576465
Exactly.
You know what else is dumb about Fallout 4.
The Vendor Perk not only does make the Vendors cheaper, they also take less money from you when you sell stuff.
What abstarct kind of world is this?
>>316576671
Why would you have charisma at 4?
Looks like garbage perks for the most part. Lady killer/Black widow could be alright for conversations I guessbut then again this is a bethesda game so I doubt you get many opportunities to use it.
Are you limited the the current existing resources in sanctuary? Can they respawn or can you get more outside sanctuary? i wanna build big stuff but then i realised i might not have enough materials so i quit
>>316577441
Have you even played Fallout 4? It's the first game where charisma is useful
>>316577548
I've only just started and only looked at the requirements for perks.
Fuck.
>>316577002
After you get the cat back, you leave the vault and fast travel to a couple of places/wait a day and then go back. If that tour guide kid is in the infirmary then the quest has started.
>>316577529
You can get more.
Strip another settlement and move the resources by hand, or if you got the local leader perk you can set up supply lines between settlements, which basically, makes them share whatever is in their workbench I think.
>>316577623
Im 5h into the game and I put charisma to 1, after some hours i realized you need a charisma level of 6 to be able to share junk between workshops across the map
What is supposed to be the best way for connecting wires around? At the moment I just have conduits everywhere to turn them around corners and shit, it's a hassle.
Is it all just squares for walls and floors? is that it? How many materials do you get to build walls from?
>>316577865
Thats how wires work anon.
Either put your generator somewhere where wires can be run easily or use conduits.
>>316577729
ok thank you
>>316571131
Literally communism.
>>316577729
What happens when you strip literally everything?
>>316575685
That's pretty nice. I forgot that place even existed.
>>316579049
Its a really nice place to build, and if you don't wanna use the building you could do something with the Cinema screen.
I was gonna make some sort of giant light logo on it but all the copper the fucking wires make use, holy shit.
Maybe I'll try again once I have a big stockpile of copper.
Are there any good anti-roof Brahmin defenses?
>>316579464
THIS FUCKING SHIT HAPPENS TO ME TOO
>>316575060
Use junk fences. No snapping, although because of the uneven nature of their construction you do have to be careful about not leaving gaps between sections, although if there is, you can also build barbed wire posts to fill said gaps.
I basically turned the first Red Rocket garage into a goddamn deathtrap with one entrance and about 7 turrets around said entrance area, above and on the ground. Wasn't interested in the settlement construction so much at the moment, so I decided to just make one good one for my own needs and leave the others be.
The fucking shrubs.
Why don't they let me get rid of the shrubs.
Totally fucks up building where you want.
I like it, but I was a huge Rustfag before it turned to complete shit so I'm pretty autistic. 30 hours in game so far and have only done 5 missions, sprucing up settlements is so addicting
>>316575685
Not a fan of that settlement area but that's rad as fuck m8.
>build a foundation and walls
>already used up 90% of possible objects
What the fuck? I thought size referred to how big your settlement is, not the maximum amount of objects.
>>316580832
you can open up the console, click on the shrub then enter "disable".
the same works for skeletons, and if you misclick something, just type in "enable" before clicking something else
>>316575496
The things he knew
>>316571314
but entire portions of the game will be devoid of any life or purpose
>>316582071
I'm on console, I moved out of Red Rocket because some Molerats attacked and for some reason like 3 of them are to heavy to lift and died inside the garage.
>>316573648
This is pretty cute, I will give you a 7/10 for originality for a shitbox tower
>>316579760
>>316579464
kek, I found that fucker in the bathroom one time, god only knows how he got through the door.
>>316582173
Eventually they are gone. I have massive operations out there and it's badass
>>316567640
>Mod to remove this stupid shit when?
after the creation kit comes out.
>>316582173
I find it funny that the game still has that problem from 3/NV where ash piles made from enemies disintegrating with laser guns never disapear but become unselectable
Does fallout 4 have low intelligence speech?
>>316582173
>I'm on console
>no console on console
kek
>>316584226
Yeah the game is full of it.
>>316584226
no
only charisma effects speech options and most the time its just to get a few extra caps out of a job.
with that said charisma is still important in this game
>>316584226
Not that I've found. I have 1 intelligence and drink beer and was hoping to run around yelling off "HATE NEWSPAPER" and "SARCASM" like a retard, but those are apparently code words for vaguely related eloquent speeches.
>>316585198
>>316585563
>>316585790
So what ur saying it i can make a character with downs, but they get to have homosexuals couples? thats not very progressive at all.
>>316585990
>So what ur saying it i can make a character with downs
I'm sorry you can't play as yourself in this game, bro.
>>316586075
You offended me :'[
How do you get more people to come to the settlements? It seems like Sanctuary has been stuck at 5 people for the last 4 or so hours of play-time.
>>316567640
How high does Sanctuary want it's fucking defense?
I'm at 92 and I'm still getting the caution symbol.
I couldn't believe there wasn't a way to disable the retarded snapping. You can't even make your own fucking corners. I eventually gave up and just placed one of the pre-made buildings on the middle of the construction platforms.
>>316587146
look at what you're lacking then
![1403016908220[1].gif](https://i.imgur.com/Q9KElPr.gif "1403016908220[1].gif")
Why is this even a thing? Why are you building a fucking settlement an hour into gameplay?
Say what you will about Shitrim's Hearthfire, at least it was modular shit done after the base game was "finished".
It's like they tried to make some horrible Frankenstein's Monster out of Bioshock, Minecraft. and Mass Effect and failed in all fields.
>>316587570
It's fun.
>spend a ton of time building sanctuary
>use it as my hub / storage / workbench area
>drop all my scrap there
>much later in the game decide to start building up the smaller settlements
>realize they don't have any scrap
That really killed any momentum I had.
>>316587214
I have the opposite criticism. The Settlement wall is impossible to connect and I find that frustrating. I've seen a couple great examples in this thread.
I think I'll just use the Red Rocket area for the base if I decide to waste more time on it.
>>316587434
Wait, does my defense have be a mixture of turrets and wooden posts or something?
>>316587603
Can you elaborate?
>>316587860
no, but the triangle could be placed on your water supply, food source or whatever
At first it was really fun to build a small village for the fuckers to live in, but after a while, I realized it was all completely pointless. You get nothing out of it, the villagers are unresponsive, you see no reactions, sometimes they don't even sleep in the fucking beds that I made for them. Now I just use Sanctuary just to keep materials and upgrade weps/armor. I give no fucks if the moral goes down or up or whatever.
>>316587889
I get enjoyment out of building a base.
That's what fun means.
>>316587701
you can get a perk that'll allow you to have settlers work as "traders" and share resources between settlements. that way, all the crap you've accumulated in your main settlement becomes available.
>>316588025
It's definitely placed on defense.
I'll try and get it up to 100 and see if that's good enough.
>the building element of FO4 is literally a ripoff of a FO3 mod
>the FO3 mod was a buggy piece of shit
>somehow the official FO4 version is even worse
>>316588334
Are you surprised?
You still have to download an unofficial patch/mod to get rid of most bugs after all this time. I mean, they're literally too lazy/dumb to steal these changes an implement them in an official patch.
Does wall around do anything at all?
Can i use anything like metal walls etc.?
you can make cool buildings if you're patient enough
i turned red rocket truck stop into a multi level fortress
you guys must be fucking retards if you cant get a roof on the right side of the wall
Any model replacements yet? Should be easy enough, size is constant for all of them.
And why the heck can't i make windows? I can do better with an axe than those "survivors" with multiple tools.
>>316588618
It's doesn't change the fact it looks like a junk pile.
>>316588334
The sheer audacity is astonishing.
>looking for sweet place to settle

>>316588718
so does everything else in the wasteland
>>316588334
Why don't they steal more popular mods? LIke i don't know - UNOFFICIAL PATCH
who hot rod flames powerarmor here?
>>316588334
The FO3 mod was pretty fun, since you could actually build wherever you liked. The building wasn't as good in terms of placement, but I actually thing they sort of implemented the FO4 system AND scavenging system (without the retarded border limit) and also made a version for Skyrim.
They literally took a mod and claimed it as their own.
>>316588150
Oh, neat. I guess I'll have to invest in that perk at some point, then; I've largely been ignoring the settlements until now.
>>316588873
Now get the chainsword and you're a real space marine.
>>316567640
>door holes
Door frames
>>316588990
>chainsword
where?
>>316588813
Beth probably find the unofficial patch insulting. It shows how a few guys, in their spare time, can fix Beth's game, doing things their huge professional team are utterly incapable of.
>>316589127
It's a ripper upgrade
>>316589334
i havent found a ripper yet, and i just turned level 31
>>316567640
THERE ARE NO INDOOR DOORWAYS
>>316589387
There's one in West Everett Estates.
>>316588150
You can also get a perk that allows you to fast travel while over encumbered. So you can just pick all your shit up from the workbench fast travel to the new place and dump it.
>>316588990
but i want to be a grey knight with my hammer and incinerator
>>316568071
Walls have to be facing a certain way to attach a roof. The side with the wood and shit on it has to be facing inside.
10/10 intelligence. Still not smart enough to put two bits of wood together without a gab. Good thing is. Modders are going to love it so looking forward to the building mods.
>>316589472
any hints on where that place is? i only need an approximate
>>316590024
west
Well hey, at least the building mechanic helped calm the nerves of an autistic frenchie in the wake of a national tragedy.
Right?
What do you think of my armor station?
Doesn't have enough armors to fill it up though.
>>316590648
good
>tfw gpu keeps crashing with fallout 4

So how are the Atom people even alive?
any quests there? I really wanna kill em all for being so bat shit insane

Nice RPG elements, anon!
>>316576506
Possibly, I ran across a single BOS guy who was fighting something before I found him, he was left with a sliver of health so I one shot him and took all his shit.
I figured because no-one saw me kill him I got away with it.
>>316567640
Daily reminder FO4 building is a blatant ripoff of Rust's building and Newman is suing the shit out of Beth.
>>316591768
Does F4's work anywhere near as well or look anywhere near as good?
Not that I'm saying the Rust one is good.

i built a house over that puddle and put a water thing in there, then i put a fence around that hole
>>316573648
I want to remove the Height and Size limits and build a giant cube skyscraper that reaches above the Prydwyn.

Is there a mod that gives you infinite resources yet? Getting bored of the game, but building shit is pretty fun.
>>316595778
Add resources to your inventory with the consol?
>>316572123
enjoy your loud BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR noise throughout the building
>>316571286
People used Roman buildings for hundreds of years after they were built. If it works it works man.
>>316595778
Go into console and type tgm and you can build without using up any resources.
>>316573648
Where is this?

Never have I ever been bored playing a fallout game like Fallout 4. Not even the slowness of of the first 2-3 hours of FO1 was this dull. Storys boring as fuck, characters are meh, the exploration doesn't even reward you as much if at all besides fighting borderlands named variants of the same enemy. Its not even like FO3 where I can beat the game entirely in 1 week and laugh my ass off from shitty dialog and retarded plotted quests. This game is abysmal

>>316572384
Only in the same settlement.
Once all settlements are unlocked, whats the comfiest? I have the first 5 or 6 or so, and Sanctuary so far seems the best to build up.
>>316596797
rad racket of course. once you get a nice wall around it you can build some cosy shit on the roof.
>trying to get all fancyshmancy
thats why youre fuckin up. just build some run down shanty fort and call it a day. you dont need doors and all that bullshit, just guard posts.
>not putting the guard post directly in front of the door Fallout Tactics style
i shigs
Are there any mods out yet with good prebuilt houses? I don't want to build any myself with the bullshit vanilla builder, and the pre-fab buildings suck.
>>316597083
>just build some run down shanty fort
This. If you try and make shit look too clean and tidy it looks retarded and unnatural, just go fuckin willy nilly, the more lopsided and dilapidated it looks the comfier.
>>316596797
Im using Sanctuary, Hangmans Alley, The Castle and Spectacle Island.
I think i also got the whole map covered with artillery this way.
>>316590309
how do people like this even exist.
>>316596485
I feel the same way, I have no motivation to start it up most of the time.
>>316596304
neat. I'll try it out when I get home. Any way to get past the amount of stuff you can build in one area? Or at least the height limit?
>>316597857
Apparently there's a mod already out but I haven't used it yet
>>316584226
No, you don't get to decide who you play as at all, everyone plays either the husband or the wife with a preset personality.
I just played a bit as the female character.
Man, this voiceacting is so much better.
>>316599345
Yeah she's really good
>>316589890
I thought this too but if you use an upper-floor you can attach it just fine.
>>316567640
it is horrible, i tried one thime and gave up, now i just stack things in the settlements
Anyone else here retarded and couldn't figure out you had to build a foundation first before walls?
>>316600520
I mean, you didn't have to. Would look a lot better but it's not a requirement.
>>316575993
meaty
Captcha: select all images with steaks
>>316579464
Theres one on the third floor of a house west ofSalem
No idea why it's there, but it is. Lying in wait.
>>316585198
Oh, I laughed
Anyone else who actually prefers the new perk system? In the prefer games you could get max lockpicking/science/whatever in the first few levels, now you actually have to work for it.

Jeez its like you didnt go to the nexus on the day it came out.
>>316596797
I use the Red Rocket truck stop. I like having the garage door.
build your fucking floors first and learn the mat trick, it will save you so much struggle
>>316601380
I think It'd be cool if it lowered the level requirement if you're over the SPECIAL requirement.
>size limit
Fucking bullshit i should be able to build as much as i want. Also the height limit is way too low
>>316593074
That's kind of the point of the minutemen though. You're a volunteer militia, not the NCR.
>>316567640
If you want to build shit play Sim whatever for maximum autism I guess. Building elements in games that aren't built around them are always bad.
>>316601380
I very much like it. I'm having trouble planning how exactly I'm going to build my character, most of the Perks are pretty good and it actually feels like I'm not great at everything. My stealth ability is still nearly zero, I can't pick any locks or hack any terminals, my skill with guns is poor, but I can manage a settlement, handle laser weapons well and punch the fuck out of things.
In the previous games (both Fallout and Elder Scrolls), it was pretty simple to know what I was going to pick as it was so easy to max out everything, leveling up all Skills (which were the primary factor in how good you were at something) to 100 took little effort and most Perks were useless. Always becoming not just a jack of all trades, but a master of all trades pretty early on into the game.
Instead of grinding up to Level 275 or whatever to finally become good at everything, I'm more likely to make a new character and try a different set of perks (and take a different story route) so I can experience the game in a different way.
>>316596304
>>316597857
There is one limitation of TGM building. It gives you 999 of everything while in God Mode, but that's also 999 caps. You can't build the Rank 3 Stores which require 1000 caps. Everything else is available, though.
What did she mean by this?
>>316602459
Man, lockpicking and computer hacking are pretty essential skills. Experience and good loot and getting to shut down turrets or take shortcuts. Those were the first perks I took in the game.
What's the best build early game? Is it like Fallout NV so you increase your intelligence? Where should I put my perks?
>>316602958
Whenever I find a turret control computer in this game, it's always AFTER I've had to destroy the turret to get past. I don't know if it's just me.
>>316575973
>>316602958
With Nick around, I leave the hacking to him. Just gotta hope random chance doesn't have him fail a Master lock.
I've actually seen very few locks that were above Novice level. I'd pick up Piper and bring her around to take care of any advanced locks I noticed.
Although now that I have Curie, I'll probably put a point or two into each cracking skill since she can do neither... after I get a few other perks I want.
>>316603336
Yes, the terminal is almost always behind the turret.
And really, the two cracking skills have yet to be necessary. Anything that was required to get through, there would be a way around or a key for it nearby. All I'm missing out on is some loot.
>>316602950
what weapon is that?
>>316603863
Chinese sword.
You can get it from the weapon store in Diamond City.
>>316603863
Chinese Officer Sword, I believe.
>>316603943
>>316603957
danke, I played quite a bit and havent run into one
>>316568482
If you find the "Picket Fence" magazines, you unlock more stuff to build.
As a heads up if anyone doesn't know, if you hold the E use key etc and scroll with the mouse wheel you can raise and lower items like fence posts etc.
>>316567640
Place a mini square floor tile in front of it.

uh, there's a super mutant on your lawn
