is it safe to leave power armor sitting somewhere unattended or do you need to leave it at a power armor station?

Zeron posted:On the cooking station you can create Vegetable Starch, which breaks down into 5 adhesive. It requires Mutfruit, Corn, Tato, and Purified Water which you can all produce at your settlement. How do you get water from your settlement? I have pumps and a purifier thing, but I haven't noticed any bonus weird cardboard boxes of water showing up in my inventory. edit: Also what the hell is a scavenging station or whatever do? I sometimes see an rear end in a top hat going at some random part of it with a power tool but idk to what end.

If you have more water production than settlers you will get deposits of purified water into the workbench of the settlement. The scavenging station provides minuscule amounts of random junk into your workbench every now and again. You can leave your power armor anywhere, it can get stolen if you leave a power core in it and anyone is nearby when you are though. Edit: VV If you assign a settler to any plant it will automatically cue up for 6 food production total (12 0.5 food plants or 6 Mutfruit plans).

I think I just encountered a rad storm. The sky got all rad-stormy but i got maybe 50 rads total from it. Are there actual storms where i'll have to take shelter or are they just laughably weak to the point of being trivial?

I guess I do still have spare suits of power armor anyway...

So I just started and leveled up to 2, and if I'm reading the stat screen correctly, it looks like Skills are no longer a thing? I used my fallout 3 starting SPECIAL with high int purely for the skill points, is it worth backtracking 20 minutes to put those 5 points toward perks I want instead?

Today I encountered what I assume was a legendary super mutant suicider. I heard that noise that tells you you should be running for the hills. Cue pants making GBS threads as I moused over it, saw the skull, then frantically tried to avoid what was almost certainly going to be a one hit kill nuke going off. This game is great for demonstrating why the wasteland is still a wasteland. I got a sweet picture out of it though. He went off. Then the four cars nearby went off at the same moment. Cue me turning around as I heard the explosion to see literally the entire screen blanketed with fire. Then Preston came charging out of the fire in his power armor to put a bullet in the back of the last mutant as he was stunned and trying to pick himself up from the shockwave.  Edit: Also what the gently caress at a legendary super mutant suicider. That's a situation you just can't win. Though it did generate a nice little moment of black comedy. That evil little motherfucker screamed something like "Only one of us walk away!" in Hulk speak before he went off. This loving game.

Does anyone still have that image with all the perk points? It was posted here but I avoided reading it for spoiler-y reasons, but as all this info is readable in the interface right off the start of the game anyways, it's not much of a spoiler and would help to decide what kind of character I wanna make.

If you transfer it to a workstation it will stay in that inventory and will be automatically be broken down to give you the components you need. So far it seems that while the item disappears one one component from it is used, the rest of the components that make it up will appear later and it's just a visual bug.

INT increases exp gain, and unlike other games there is no level cap so that is actually really useful. INT also has a lot of really good perks, Science is required for alot of the better settlement/crafting options, Medic makes stimpacks amazing and they are really common, you need Gun Nut for most weapon mods, Scrapper is good for materials, and Nuclear Physicist is great if you use power armor alot. I would cap it at 6 but it's definitely not a dump stat(that's charisma). Don't bother getting charisma for the settlement perks, supply chains are semi-useful if you build up a lot of settlements but they don't really save anything but a bit of time. The shops you can setup are full fledged shops which is really useful for buying ammo and the like, but not really worth the investment.

Also, did y'all see that rusty power armor sitting in a chainlink cage on some cage? Is that for a quest later on or was I too dumb to get in there? I didn't remember where my Power Armor was and was hoping to commandeer that suit. I since found my suit, but would be nice for a backup or something. Assuming I ever get in again.

I really cannot be arsed messing around with the settlement mechanics until Bethesda (or, more likely, a modder) adds some sort of roster that lets me keep track of who's doing what and where they are. Also, everybody in my town being a characterless, nameless generic settler is soul destroying and I find myself asking "what's the point?" Additionally, I cannot summon one gently caress to give about my useless dead husband or hideous child and I'm really struggling to find anything else in the game that's supposed to be compelling. The guns are neat and the customisation options are pretty cool and I like having to scrounge and scavenge for screws and duct tape and cigarettes that inexplicably contain asbestos, but the writing is so lackluster it does the opposite of what it should and actively disengages me from the apallingly flimsy (but at the same time intrusively prominent) story. There's nothing to latch onto there and I'd much prefer they hadn't tried to tell me how I feel or what I want in the first place. Let me cough out my own character and project my own concept onto them and maybe give me more than three-and-a-half dialogue options to deal with at any one time so I can actually interact with the narrative on my own terms like in the actual RPG incarnations of the Fallout series  . Maybe I'm being a whiny pissbaby about the game, but I'm seriously considering just getting a refund and picking it up in a year's time after the creation kit belatedly comes out. The game is probably worth £45, but not to me and not right now.

I used my fallout 3 starting SPECIAL with high int purely for the skill points, is it worth backtracking 20 minutes to put those 5 points toward perks I want instead? If you don't like the Int stuff sure. But honestly, the Int stuff is probably the best stuff in the game. VATS is near useless in this game I've found ( well, it's still great, it's just the fps shooting stuff works fine now, so why bother spending 30 levels of perks on VATS ), which pretty much trivializes most of Perception/Agility/Luck. Strength is basically just for carry weight ( or melee, but it's super either/or ), which is also kind of iffy since you'll be spending lots of the game in Power Armor/can give things to companions. Endurance at least still gives health, Charisma is used often for conversations ( and you want it at least at 6 if you plan to use settlements ), and Int gives more exp/has great perks. I basically got Perception high enough for Lockpicking, Luck up high enough for Scrounger, Strength high enough for Armorer, and then everything else went into Endurance/Charisma/Int. Everything else feels like dump stats almost, although I'm eyeing a few Agility things I wish weren't so far down the tree.

Also I encountered a new raider enemy today. Turns out they have a pet NPC that's pretty hilarious. It's a mole rat with a bunch of fragmentation mines strapped to it. Given how mole rats tend to beeline to the nearest living thing and suicidally attack it...Well, picture the mess it makes.

From what I've heard it's pretty limited by quest exp, and there's essentially a soft cap(depending on your int) of around 50-80 before you start having to grind out by killing stuff.

Two questions: I'm trying to fix up my old house in Sanctuary. I've already scrapped and replaced most of the broken furniture, installed a generator and put in some lights, etc., but the floor's still covered in (unselectable) garbage and there's all these holes in the walls. Is there some way to fix this? Or at least some nice things I could cover all that stuff up with? Will I eventually unlock fancier furniture and decorations, or is the stuff I start out with it forever? Also (I literally don't care about being spoiled, since I'm trying to make an informed choice about what plot line I want to pursue, and also because the story isn't really that good so I don't really care about what happens) is the Institute actually super evil? I kind of want to side with them just because I work for MIT irl and working for them in Fallout would be kind of funny but not if you have to run around murdering babies or whatever. Like, are they Mr. House-style ruthless pragmatists, or Caesar's Legion style cartoon super-villains?

Really wish there was a list somewhere of who is assigned to what so i wouldnt have to keep a mental list of that. Kinda sucks especially now that i've started doing supply routes and poo poo. Having some random guy walk into town and i'd be like 'who the hell is that' only for it to turn out to be a provisioner from another town that i forgot about cause i never see him in his town anymore.  Ended up making a house that looks vaguely house-like instead of a cube. The UI ends up becoming a massive pain once you start dealing with individual floor/wall/roof pieces. stuff that should snap, wont. Also stuff that is half tile wide doesn't snap well with others. You have to really plan those out if you wanna use them. finally, the door wall lets you put a half tile floor piece right down the center of the tile. I'm wondering if that has any applications for anything other than thin hallways.
