Alright, I'm way late to the game and am only about 6 hours in at this point, but how does farming work? I've laid down a poo poo-ton of Muttfruit, Corn, and Tato in Sanctuary, but do I have to assign a settler to each plant, or do I just assign one to an area and they'll sort of tend all of it? Also, will the plants produce regularly if they're not tended, or do they NEED someone assigned to them? It's also really drat frustrating that I didn't put any points into charisma initially, so getting Local Leader is going to take a while.

I blasted him, walked down to loot his corpse, and he went nuclear and fried me. So I reloaded, fast traveled to the same tower, saw Major Gutsy, killed him and waited. He blew up next to a car and the explosion sent his corpse flying. I got really pissed thinking it was a wasted opportunity, but then I spent a couple minutes searching for him and found him in a ditch a couple dozen yards away. He had a wounding assault rifle waiting for me. I am no longer pissed off. Also the legendaries that fall into water and immediately sink like a rock, while I'm in power armor..

RBA Starblade posted:I killed Swan with the Rockville Slugger and took no damage by popping a bufftat and nuka-cola quantum and standing still. Miniguns and more powerful weapons tear me up if I can't blitz to them but other than that nothing's really a threat for a melee build. I discovered the power of the Yao Guai Roast when Swan rushed me and I was out of psycho. Killed him with a serrated combat knife. My new favorite weapon is a fully upgraded aluminum 2076 World Series Bat. I love the cheer of the crowd as bad guys go flying. On another note, I cleared out the West Everett Estates and immediately felt a wave of sadness. These super mutants had a nice little homestead going and I brutally eliminated them simply because I happened to be walking by. The lookout didn't even shoot at me, I ran up and smacked him in the back of the dome as the 2076 World Series crowd cheered me for it. Swattahs.

I eventually pretty much gave up even trying to loot most bugs in the outdoors because they might fly 30 or 40 feet in an unknown direction after being shot in VATS. This frustrates me all the time. I hear my turrets go off and think "YES MORE AMMO" and I see the corpses on the ground. Then I finally get there and they are invisible in all the brush.

You know you've played this game too much when you walk into a room, ignore the power armor, fat man, and various other goodies and beeline straight for the aluminum cans, duct tape, and coffee cups.

There is also a dog corpse there which is 'too heavy to carry'

MH Knights posted:I just hand wave it away by saying the female PC was a member of an auxiliary service, like the real life WASPs of WWII, or that she worked at a power armor/weapons factory and learned skills there. You could even get really out there and say she was originally from Alaska and when the Chinese invaded she joined a local resistance cell. Interestingly (or not) the few times as a male PC you can bring up your background in the military the female PC...also brings up her background in the military. You can do it when you first meet Danse, for example. Which is pretty obviously an artefact of the female character being an afterthought, but also sort of retroactively justifies her knowing how to use Power Armor and being skilled with guns and whatnot. I hand waved it by imagining that the female PC was a JAG or something. Hell, maybe she was the one who did the execution in the opening cinematic of Fallout 1, having just found a Canadian guilty of sabotage under martial law.

Nora was doing... something with her time while Nate was in the military. The holotape she leaves for Nate (provided that's who you're playing) states that she's going to 'brush the dust off [her] law degree' or something to that effect. Maybe this is just referring to mat leave or some such but it could be military related I suppose

Are you on PC? If so, open the console which is the ~ key, click the corpse and use the disable command. I had to do this at the sunny whatever farm because the ghoul corpses I spent time dragging away kept reappearing. Disable to get rid of the guy permanently.

The X-Cell drug keeps being mentioned in the loading tips but I have yet to see it. Also the loading tips mention stealth versions of the harder monsters like deathclaws and sentry bots but I have yet to see those. Do I have to be level 100 or something to see these monsters/items. Like for the first time in too many hours I found nuka grenades and nuke mines.

You'll want a gun to take care of stuff like turrets or Super Mutant Suiciders, but you technically do not NEED a gun ever. Carry a 10mm or Laser Pistol or something.

Also, will the plants produce regularly if they're not tended, or do they NEED someone assigned to them? When you assign a settler to a plant, they'll claim up to 6 food value of nearby plants, with a fairly wide search radius. So, 6 Mutfruit or 12 anything else. Any settler working less than their maximum will tend to slowly acquire nearby unclaimed plants, though newly arrived settlers will pick them up in dribs and drabs too. For best results, get all that food squared away and point maybe three-four people at it before skiving off to collect pencils or whatever else catches your fancy. Then you have a bunch of free hands for the scrap mines when you get back instead of new arrivals picking up one plant apiece. Plants will produce regularly if they're not tended, but untended plants tend to take much longer to regrow, and they aren't added to local storage so settlers can eat them. Yes, just like purified water, any excess capacity will slowly accumulate in your workshop stock, and if you have trade caravans set up, settlements connected to the network can get away without having enough food to support their people. In happier news, this automatic acquisition also works with defense structures, so you can have an assigned settler guard going on patrol between up to 3 guardposts, and new people don't volunteer for guard duty at all! That's happier news, right?

Then you have a bunch of free hands for the scrap mines when you get back instead of new arrivals picking up one plant apiece. I always like to do the following : Plant exactly 12 tatos, assign 1 settler there. Ensure he's working all 12 by hovering over them in build mode - none should have the settler icon in red. Plant exactly 12 corn, assign 1 settler to them. All 12 corn can/should be worked by 1 person. Plant exactly 12 mutfruit, assign 2 settlers there. This gives you exactly 24 food, which is enough for all but the craziest huge settlements out there. Best part is all of the food you're growing can be used to make plenty of vegetable starch with all the purified water you're raking in. I know I can assign a settler to a single defensive structure, but how do I make a settler patrol multiple posts? What I want is 1 settler covering my main entrance all the time (Which I have), and two guards patrolling the interior of my homestead. Also : Once I have all 6 of the vendor spots filled, my 4 farmers, and 3 or 4 guards what should I assign the other settlers to do? I have one on a scavving station but I honestly can't even tell if he's doing anything or not since I bring back so many supplies of my own. I know I can assign a couple people to create supply lines, but is there any other use for settlers?
