I built a supply line between Sanctuary Hills and the Starlight Drive-In, which I THOUGHT would just pool both workshops together into one big mess but that doesn't work? Like, I just dumped 50 rubber from scrapped tires in sanctuary hills, but when I go to use that rubber to craft some armor upgrades in Starlight it says I have 3/6 rubber. From what I understand, you won't see junk from settlement A in settlement B's workshop, but if you run out at settlement A, it will pull from settlement B.

When supply lines are working correctly EVERY settlement will show thousands of mats of every kind, as long as you have them in an A-B-C-D chain. weapons and armor and aid mostly dont though I think.

coyo7e posted:It ought to be seamless, when you open your world map and hit the button to show supply lines, does it show one? also check Data -> workshops When I go to 'Data -> Workshops' what should I see? Because I DO see a supply chain between the two settlemends on my map, but I don't see anything special in the data -> Workshops section. Partially related : I have 100 water in the Starlight Drive-In (2 industrial, 2 normal purifiers), 17 settlers, and am not getting any purified water at all in my workshop. It's been at least three or four days and none has appeared.

Well, it does show that the Sanctuary hills is lacking 1 water. But with them linked and with Starlight providing 100 water, it should be covered, shouldn't it? God this is buggy.

If it's not working then I'd try to find the provisioners and see if they're getting stuck on something and/or dying repeatedly. They are pretty easy to find if you gave them lighted purple/green/red/blue mining helmets like I did Have you tried makign alternate supply chains and seeing if they work? Or are you assumign they're all busted because of this one workbench

coyo7e posted:Are you using mods and playing on PC? Because supply chains are about the one thing that won't entirely just get hosed and break for no reason. I've run into those provisioners taking down entire settlements of super mutants, with nothing but scav outfit and a pipe pistol. And winning. Every time. Playing on PC, yes. Using mods, no. And I've run into my provisioner multiple times in each settlement. I have not made any other supply chains yet; This is my first experiment with them and thus far it has been entirely unsuccessful. I will see about setting up another supply line between like, the slog or greygarden or something.

Cleretic posted:I don't really care about the music since I don't listen to the radio, but when I started thinking about it it bothers me that all of these songs are licensed 1950s stuff. They were over a century old when the bombs dropped, and there's no hint of newer music than that. I know it's the aesthetic of the series, but everything else clearly kept advancing even if it does retain the same look. Either there was just no place for musicians in the Fallout universe after the 1960s, they existed but all sucked, or the oldies stations were REALLY prepared for armageddon. After the bombs fell the Fallout universe Disney wasn't around to keep extending copyright protections so the DRM on the holotapes is finally starting to expire after three hundred and twenty odd years.

All of this about diamond city radio is irrelevant--there is a classical music station, and it is massively better than all the 50's kitch. Seriously, being in a huge firefight with a bunch of super mutants while your power armor's internal speakers play An der schönen blauen Donau is one of the most badass experiences you can have in this game.

Couple of pages back, but I found unarmed to be awesome. Granted, early going it was tough, but once I managed to get Ballistic Weave and Armorer up a bit, I'm golden. Never even used power armor. I fist fought the first scripted deathclaw at level 10 and managed to win, then took on Swan at level 20 for the Power Fist, and finally used that to go after the Deathclaw Gauntlet which I'm now using to one-shot almost everybody with a power attack. 'bout the only things I did on my side was turn on the ballistic weave variable so I didn't have to fiddle with the railroad, and use the Legendary Mods mod. 3-4 Powered effects and Lv 2 Action Boy basically means I can power attack forever. Sprint, too. I think Life Giver is a very underrated perk, especially on Survival--the regeneration from the third level seems to be about equal to the general healing rate if you use a stimpack.

Squirrel Burger posted:I've always hated the compass markers going back to Skyrim. I have to turn the HUD completely transparent now which sucks for looting bodies and 3rd person combat. With the markers, I didn't feel like I was exploring, just running until the next landmark turned green and I got some experience. Turning it off, I really feel like I'm exploring, like I'll trudge across a dangerous expanse of waste because I see something cool in the distance, not because I turned there and there was an outline I want to fill in. It's an OCD quirk but one I wish they would let me tweak individually on console. I already replied telling you you can do this in the ini, but I guess the post was lost in the thread. The option is 'bShowCompass' and it's in %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Fallout4Prefs.ini.

The Molecular Level: So in my last playthrough I went with the Railroad. I guess I was able to buy Tinker Tom, the chem'd out conspiracy theorist, knowing how to build the crazy rear end device. This time I went with the Minute-men though. But I don't think my suspension of disbelieve can buy Sturges, the guy that couldn't fix up power armor or hack a novice terminal to get at a fusion core, being able to do this correctly.

Supply chains only link up your crafting resources in the workshops (stuff like wood, steel, springs, etc.). It does not link resources like water or food so you still have to build those up at each settlement. And with the purified water thing you mentioned earlier, it's easiest to find it in the workshop if you tab over to the Aid section. And your industrial purifiers have to be hooked up to a generator first in order to function so that could be an issue. Otherwise maybe it needs more time or it's bugged.

Does building more water machine thingys mean that settlement produces more purified water? I wish this game had some high tier water building for settlements without a surface water source. It seems kind of silly that the most you can do is spam regular hand pumps on dirt when the settlement otherwise has a skyskraper with search lights and missile turrets.

Speedball posted:Data->> Workshops shows you the various stats of each workshop settlement, and should also let you know if one is lacking in food, water, or defense. Horseshit. It lets you see if your settlers have temporarily forgotten that there are beds, crops, water pumps, and/or defenses and are about to stage a mutiny Seriously though, check that data screen after every fast travel because you will have a situation where a settlement breaks the [settlers/happiness] barrier and start leaving because the game is buggier than Crazy Bus.

You build purifiers in wet settlements and link them to dry ones, just like food and arable settlements. You get the settlements excess production every few game days if you fast travel there. I think Sanctuary maxes out around 800 water, Drive in has 160, and after that it's easiest to take the Castle for 2000+ water production capacity.

The base level, Sturdy and Heavy. Modifications and Legendary status override the upper level modifiers when it comes to names, so you wont know unless you check the resistances/weight/looks.  The light synth arms are just the bracers so you wont see anything on the arm with the Pipboy.

Meanwhile I was surprised to find that synth armour pieces were actually armour. The synths themselves look pretty naked to me so when I equiped "synth arm" or "synth chest" I just assumed that it was my character breaking off a piece of the synth to wear as a trophee.

Same reason you can't frenzy that bandit chief in province of Skyrim to kill their crew... unless there are varying strengths of needles for you to use and hope they work.

I bet it's something stupid like copper wiring that was already inside the corridors.
