Glazius posted:Get Fortune Finder and Scrounger, find ridiculous numbers of caps and weightless ammo. This. I ranked up Fortune Finder and the first time I bothered to check my caps I had collected 15000. The game throws so much stuff at you loot wise you would never need to buy stuff, I always cook too for both the XP and the neat status effect food (Grilled Radstag for +25 carry weight is handy when needing to fast travel after clearing out a dungeon). Over half way to the platinum trophy on PS4 now, apparently I need two saves to get all the quest trophies. Last session I logged before I went away for the weekend I was doing the final leg of the Silver Shroud quest and heard the familiar terror that is the ticking of a super mutant suicider: spotted and killed him in time but the ticking didn't stop - there were three of them

So is there something I'm missing about how to get more settlers in my towns? I don't know how to get the numbers up so they're all pretty low and not doing much. I'm over 20 hours in and have done a ton of quests related to securing settlements, but not seeing them grow...

Bold Robot posted:Also, what's the least effort way to manage/develop settlements? I don't want to spend hours sperging out building a base, this isn't minecraft. Aside from NPCs getting lost in the abandoned buildings, is there any real downside to just developing Sanctuary and not really worry about the other spots? Sprint through the initial stuff in concord, get everybody back to Sanctuary, then talk to codsworth and preston until they became companions and immediately send them both to the truck stop south of sanctuary (they won't wander as far, and you may end up talking to preston a lot of you do his repeatable settlement-recruiting quests), and then sprint to abernathy and tenpenny farms, and do both quests they need (there's a nice suit of power armor just outside the air force satellite base, to the north by a crashed vertibird a hundred yards or so out). After clearing corvega and the satellite base, I beelined to the diner and drive-in, intending to use the diner as a source of quick supplies and the drive-in as an initial "hub" for my supply routes (which turned out to be overly complicated and unnecessary, as all points in the chain are served equally, it ends up being lovely to send ten settlers out from one spot, because there's nobody around to farm and man the shops and scavenging stations!  ).At this point, it comes down to leveling local leader to 2nd rank, to build up shops, and then just recruiting settlements at leisure. Once you get used to what kind of mats you need to build one basic generator and a radio recruiting beacon at a settlement, you're almost gauranteed to get one settler INSTANTLY when you build your recruiting beacon, who you can then send off to a link in the supply chain, and then you instantl yhave access to all your junk mats and can surround the place with turrets and food at leisure, and never come back unless you feel like it. I almost never remember to defend settlements in time but once you've got a chain of supply lines staffed by immortal settler provisioners, then really it's just a matter or wandering back and repairing a dozen carrots and then leaving again.. Just don't build a recruiting beacon at a spot until you're ready to "finish it off" so to speak, because if you just recruit and then forget about them, most spots will never get attacked at all. edit: oh yeah, if you leave cores in power armor NPCs can and will wander off with it (usually not too far), and if you leave weapons in containers in your settlement, NPCs (not necessarily friendly NPCs, either!) will loot and use them if combat starts nearby. Armor is totally safe to leave in a locker next to a workbench though, nobody seems to take and wear armor - so I stash all my legendary armor in one box, and all my legendary weapons in my workbench. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 21:37 on Nov 28, 2015 |

Okay! So I have managed to ruin my Fallout 4 game. I've never mod'd Fallout before so I looked for a tutorial and followed this: http://www.gameskinny.com/5xxr0/beginners-guide-to-installing-fallout-4-mods I downloaded the Fallout 4 Mod Manger as instructed, and installed 3 mods: WET Water texture, More Armor Slots, and Enhanced Blood textures. However, whenever I try to launch Fallout 4 from the mod manager or Steam, the launcher comes up, I hit play, and then I get the Fallout 4 launcher again...hitting Play causes an infinite loop. I've tried deleting my Fallout 4 folder and uninstalling the game through steam, I've redownloaded it twice and I keep getting the same situation with the launcher... please help

^^ Remember you can turn beacons on and off, which is very useful if you don't want to get attacked, just recruit one or two people and then turn off the beacon, they probably won't ever be bothered. Also in case someone's new and getting frustrated, remember YOU MUST CONNECT A WIRE FROM THE GENERATOR TO THE BEACON for it to turn on.. Took me a while to figure that out..

Hemoglobin posted:Okay! So I have managed to ruin my Fallout 4 game. While I can't help you and that really blows, More Armor Slots reminded me of a mod I forgot to recommend. Armorsmith Expanded "This mod does four things. One, every outfit in the game can now be worn under armor pieces. Two, every hat and helmet in the game that doesn't cover your face can be worn with bandanas & gas masks. Three, every outfit and every hat & helmet in the game can have ballistic weave armor added to it. Four, every outfit can have a torso, leg, arm, or vault suit armor mod, and every hat & helmet can have a torso or vault suit armor mod." The reminder however came from "Not compatible with More Armor Slots by Abbalovesyou, Armor Modifications Expanded by LordGrievous, or Gas Mask Hat Fix by leafonthewindbut this does everything those three mods did, and more, and also doesn't contain the dirty edits that both of those have from being made with FalloutSnip."  Good stuff though, the gas masks fit near perfect with a bunch of hats, helmets and stuff like that, to the point where I almost wonder why they didn't just make them stack like glasses and bandanas can.

Ok just reached level 39 and met all the main factions. I am torn because they're all incredibly lovely. The BOS are fascist assholes, the Minuteman are incompetent asswipes that can't get anything done without your direct intervention, the railroad are all about sticking it to the man and dead drops (boooooring) and have extremely annoying people, the Institute have absolutely no grip on reality and are slavemongers. Is there a Yes man ending where you just go rogue? If not I think I will side with the Institute because they're the only ones that can keep their house clean and that's very important to my beloved robot waifu and faithful robo-butler.

I may or may not have one which makes it a real concern, it's an amazingly effective and simple home defense weapon, and I'd feel really sad if this family heirloom got taken by the cops.. It's not like it'll ever see the light outside of occasionally putting grapefruit-sized holes in the occasional coffee can, unless someone breaks in. Is it because of safety issues, the barrel maybe blowing up if someone tried to use the wrong type of round in it? I've never known anyone to actually TRY to put a .44 or .45 round into a .410, I always assumed that backblast would be a high possibility.

NESguerilla posted:So, I did Battle of bunker hill and sided with no one (lol they just war around you and no one attacks) and it seems like at the very least, I'd lose one faction doing that, so I reloaded since I have only done a couple Railroad and BOS quests. You can complete the Battle of Bunker Hill without aggroing any factions if you Shoot the courser, then go tell Father you were ambushed and were the only survivor, and lie lie lie. If you kill the courser and tell the truth, you anger the Institute and fail any undercover mission another faction has you on. However, the Battle of Bunker Hill is pretty much the last quest on the Railroad/Institute side before you have to piss someone off, [spoilers that follow detail only the order in which factions get angered] you have to continue to the next Institute quest if you want to maintain your cover with the Railroad (and obviously you have to do it if you're helping the Institute), and doing that quest makes the Brotherhood treat you as an enemy. That said I'm not sure what happens if you warn a non-institute side and then don't take their suggestion of what to do to resolve the quest.

Ok what I'd really like to do is draw a line under these quests but Preston continually has more. Do they ever end? I'm more interested in developing a powerful gun touting, explosive crafting, lock picking hero with full charisma and speech options. Then exploring the wasteland, loving up baddies and finding my son. Probably all while in awesome power armour! I never have the materials needed for crafting mines and grenades though. What's the best perk and so on path to take when levelling to be a good explosives based character?

The point is construction, recipe, weapon/armor mods and mats are shared, so if all your settlements are linked then you should not have to manually haul poo poo among them if it is your desire to build at them rather than always traveling back to a single HQ. Although you will probably do that anyway because the actual inventories are not linked. Also you get cool immortal guys and their cows roaming the wasteland, swimming through ponds, shooting whatever gangs of assholes they run into, and you can equip them with whatever armor and weaponry you want.

The Silver Shroud quest is great, and I stumbed across a few X-01 pieces during it too. It's too bad the actual armor doesn't really stack up to five pieces of combat armor mods with their SPECIAL boosts and pockets so I can care 65 pounds more than I otherwise could.
