Even with no perks and using vats a bunch, a core lasts like half an hour? And costs ~500 caps? If you're not making a thousand caps an hour in this game, I'm not sure what you're doing. You can use it nonstop starting with the one in concord if you really want to. e: Just don't sprint. Sprinting murders cores Mondian fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Nov 28, 2015 |

My only gripe with the gatling laser is how they actually use your cores. Whoever decided that it should just slot in the next highest charge each reload/switch off needs to be flogged.

it seems like almost everyone ITT has made their main base at Sanctuary but it always seemed too remote to me so I've been holding off. I'm thinking of settling on the Slog because hey it's got a pool and actually easier to fence off compared to the other spots (because you can just tear down and follow the plot of the crap fence that's already there) - and it seems decently big with a nice main house already there

I've got every settler dumped at Sanctuary because the minutemen wanted to go there. I got a few extra settlers for tato/corn/mutfruit farming so I could make adhesives. Set up my own little thing at Red Rocket next to Sanctuary, but I'm thinking of moving somewhere else. It's not particularly central anymore as I've explored pretty much everything north of Diamond City. Maybe I'll make a proper settlement somewhere else, but we'll see.

I made my main base in Starlight drive in, I just built a huge loving fort for my peons to live in with a penthouse up top for me to craft and store my bubbleheads in. Since I built it in the middle of the parking lot with 20 turrets up top any attack gets taken care of before I even get to see the enemies. I like the stealth field upgrade for power armor but guns are so hard to Iron sight with it on, any good sights that stand out more easily?

I had a lot of visual bugs with the camo field. Your pipboy is mostly transparent and really hard to use when camo'd, that might be intentional and I can live with it. However sometimes the transparency visual effect seems to get "stuck" and I permanently can't open my pip-boy or map or anything until I exit and restart the game.

That might actually be a seperate glitch where all the viewmodels just turn invisible for no reason. Opening VATS or aiming down a scope usually fixes it.

I think my next play through I'm gonna go hard on settlements. Like the outer ones will be all food/water resources with artillery and my central base will be somewhere center map. Set up caravan routes to funnel food around for the middle

Don't worry, I've been tinkering with modelling it. Textures and such almost certain to change. It's just tough without knowing what all the specs for the various texture maps will be yet. And Bethesda's bonkers-gently caress 3d format.

poptart_fairy posted:One thing I still haven't quite understood when it comes to crafting - if I remove mods from one weapon and put them in another, do I have to remove them from the second weapon before putting them into a third? I'm trying to figure out if using 12 perks on the crafting stuff is worthwhile. Once you have switched the mods from one weapon I would just store all your mods in your workshop. Then you can add them on later or swap them with another gun. Also yes. Very much yes those perms are worth it.

So are there just no Sturdy/Heavy helmet variants? The combat armor helmet looks really tiny once you get Heavy in the rest of the outfit. Maybe I'll start trying to put together a Heavy metal suit, the metal helmet is badass.

lol if you leave your power armor except to craft. This is the best build, hth. Mod your power armor with sprint speed increase legs, unarmed damage arms and jetpack torso, load up on psychojet, then smack into people with Pain Train and murder them with cool moves all day every day. If you want some extra oomph, you can console Sprinter effects on the legs, since there's no way to get it naturally and your underarmor doesn't count.

I'm trying to figure out if using 12 perks on the crafting stuff is worthwhile. Yes, every mod is actually its own little entry under the "mods" section of your inventory. If you've got weight that you don't know what it is, you've probably been sticking gun or armor mods in there and forgetting about them. However, mods aren't universal. Every mod operates off of a particular chassis. For guns, this is determined by the base receiver. If you make a recon scope for a pipe pistol, for example, it can only go on other pipe pistols and pipe pistol derivatives. (There are actually three separate pipe receivers: pipe pistol, pipe revolver, and pipe bolt-action.) Most gun locations except for the muzzle have a basic component that you'll need to craft to take a mod off, so that if for example you find a legendary exploding assault rifle and you want to swap your tricked-out assault rifle mods over to it, you'll need to make basic parts for your tricked-out rifle in order to take the mods off. For armor, this is determined by the basic armor type and location - chestpiece, arm, leg, or possibly limb. However, "sturdy" and "heavy" variants of an armor type are considered the same basic armor chassis, so if you make a polymer insert for a combat armor right arm, it can come out and go in a heavy combat armor left arm. However, you can take the mods off of armor and return it to the baseline without crafting anything. Melee weapons are a bit the same as armor, in that you don't need to craft anything to take mods off of them.

If you wander around the area near sanctuary a bit there are at least a couple to get you by, one of the settlers at Abernathy farm is a merchant, and there's a trader just east of the drive in, and at this point I'm pretty sure Carla lives in Sanctuary
