I find it incredibly annoying to return to Sanctuary after weeks and find these slackers still banging away on the same part of housing wall as before.

Ok what's wrong with the performance in the institute base. I just got here and it's by far the worst FPS I've had anywhere in the game, far worse than diamond city even. I have optimized vanilla textures and FAR, and my graphics settings are mostly on the lower end so I can't do too much more than this. By contrast I get a great 60 FPS in other areas around the edge of the map with much more distant stuff to draw, and the place largely doesn't even look that great so I don't get why it's ruining my FPS so much. Any mod that tries to optimize it in particular?

I opened a door to nowhere and it just had "you look nice today" painted on the wall. I figured it was some kind of trap, an Annihilator Sentry Bot Mk. II appeared from no where. Normally there is a security door or something. No idea where he came from. It was near the Murkwater settlement at the Southern edge of the map. But I was sneaking, and managed to hack it before it started shooting at Piper. So now I have a Sentry Bot buddy. I went into the charter school nearby, and he blocked me into a closet. I had to toggle clipping just to get out of the room. He's a terrible robot companion. He is also terribly frightening. He has some sort of rocket launcher mounted on his back that launches projectiles that burst in mid air into multiple smaller explosive charges. He has a rocket launcher arm too, but a ghoul broke it off. I really hope he doesn't kill me. I have no idea if the inspirational perk works on hacked robots. waffles beyond waffles fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Dec 18, 2015 |

Be sure to deactivate him before you fast travel somewhere. Hacked bots will get lost sooner or later and then magically reappear at some really inappropriate moment leading to some unintended hilarity.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:Missile turrets are an outlier actually, all the other turrets have a fairly short range so they aren't worth building really This isn't entirely true. It seems that once a turret goes "aggro" it has immense range. On my base on spectacle island the laser turrets, once aggroed by an enemy who got close enough, then will shoot at anything within draw distance until it's dead.

It doesn't even have to aggro itself. The moment anything on the cell aggros all turrets seem to go for whatever triggered it. Had a raider wander onto Starlight Drive-In where I set up my base. Dogmeat ran for him, and every last one of my turrets lit up the moment he got to the guy. Although if htey do have a range that might have been a bug.

Turrets are strange. I've seen a raider literally walk up to one of my laser turrets and start hitting it, before it suddenly woke up and one shotted him. In another settlement with an entire battery of turrets and missiles, I've seen them unload on enemies I hadn't even seen pretty much at the edge of draw distance.

What is the point of settlement building? There doesn't seem to be any end goal to having well developed settlements. There don't appear to be any meaningful rewards to it. It's not especially robust or well implemented. Why bother?

MY ABACUS! posted:What is the point of settlement building? Since a lot of the settlement building has little to no impact on gameplay, I allow myself to god-mode while building so I can make a nice rustic dollhouse without blowing all my resources. I also cheat myself the perks to build special items, that way I dont dump a whole lot of SPECIAL points into Charisma for it. I'd recommend people to the same, at least until settlement building has a larger impact on everything else.

Supposedly setting up shops in your settlements- and making those settlers happy- gives you a stream of caps? I don't think there's anything in any menu to tell you what you're making or even if you're making any money (but I mean I'm sure that feature couldn't get bugged out  ) but if true that's a nice feature throughout the game to help you buy some of the legendary weapons some merchants sell.

There is a break-even point on caps spent to build versus caps returned, but it's not very good.

The more I come to understand the game, the angrier I get that Fallout 4 is on so many top-5 goty lists with people. Even though it'd be on mine too.

Well, 7 days to die has it beat already : voxels, deformable landscape. and so on. I decided to go a bit bonkers and see how many companions I could get following me around, as well as my default 2, Diana & Shaunbot, silent simple humanoid companions I can play dress up with, (black bos uniforms and bowler hats, I have not found an acceptable codpeice yet), I ditched a couple of original followers nick and newspaper girl, to watch over spectacle isle,. and got : an eyebot, a sentrybot, an assaultron, an alien, & finally Codsworth, for his terse commentary. Quinsey seemed to be the place to visit, what with lots of people to shoot. about 30 seconds after arriving 3 vertibirds show up and flop about ineffectually, while my small group lays waste to anything and everything, then wander over to the quarry, where the vertibirds are wrekt by something, however, my group razes the quarry to the ground, while I take a breather to pick up some fans and assorted junk.

OCDecorator converts inventory items into static items you can place the same way in the build menu as beds and chairs etc. Turns physics off as well so you could drop a mininuke in the room and nothing will move :v http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4270/

I've been waiting on that mod to hit 1.0 before I download it since I don't like keeping track of which mods are finished, but I think I need to just go for it because the inability to do even the slightest bit of decorating with inventory items is terrible. In oblivion the physics singularities were a problem, while in skyrim things would break even more often, and in fallout 4 I can't even put my toy robots on a table without them falling through it when I come back. In fact everything falls through tables almost every single time. I gave up putting anything in my house besides workshop-placeable stuff after 5 minutes.

Seems like the OP hasn't been updated in some time (the last edit date is from last month). I'm looking at all the pictures people have posted of their settlements (I'm totally a settlement junkie myself) and wondering how the hell they were made, but the mods listed under "Settlements" in the OP are pretty scarce. Is there a way to catch up on what cool mods have hit the scene over the last month without crawling through the last 35 pages of discussion?

There are a ton of mods adding all sorts of little and big things, the top three if you want to make lovely pretty settlements you want to look up Homemaker (havent tried personally), SSex (have tried personally, lots of extra stuff) and OCDecorator (adds static versions of many items that you can place, bottles/food etc) Best bet really is to have a peek at the fallout 4 nexus just be aware there is a recurring bug with some mods where power armor frames and some other containers (possibly) get randomized.
