I've seen people elsewhere asking about how to get rid of it, including people on Nexus trying to figure out how to mod it out. Screen shake for explosions or power attacks is cool and good. Screen shake for a simple footstep is too much.

Doesn't look like there's anything beyond settlement stuff for the latest dlc but there's a bunch of new poo poo to play with if you care about that. Like a generator that gives 100 power all by itself, electrical waterpumps that can be placed in dirt instead of water, curved and angled walls and floors (all concrete) and remote doors, a bunch of non-electrical lights, a bunch of electrical lights, lots of various neon letters, numbers and punctuation, arena team designators, a bunch of premade signs and the letters and numbers to make your own, a shitload of animal heads and some bodyparts, cages for just about every living thing in the Commonwealth.

There's some concrete stairs, no new metal or shack pieces. As for fences it's the same old junk, picket and wire fences we already had.

I'm Aussie, it's already Tuesday here.  EDIT concrete walls seem to have a lot of snap-to zones along their length, letting you make corridors and odd-shaped rooms with the angled walls and short walls a lot easier than fiddling around with shacks and metal structures. Concrete really feels like end-game base building rather than 'poo poo how do I keep the loving rain off these mutfruit farmers' EDIT EDIT ahaha you can put the water pump on the garden plot, letting you just stick your water off anywhere in the impenetrable bunker and forgetting about it.

It would have been a lot more compelling if you could actually build settlements - e.g have people do something other than "wander around" and "farm/stare listlessly out from a tiny vending box". Or, at the very least, settlement networks that let you add on types of buildings by having a robust route between you and the next settlement that provides a resource. Perhaps a settlement in woods that harvests wood for buildings? Or a factory that lets you make metal? On top of that, let you actually SEE routes, have to contend with raiders along those routes in some way (such as clearing out newly established raider/gunner dens via Radiant quests) and so forth. Or, like, it if the Minutemen were a faction that would let you pull together your resources and civilize the wasteland versus farm 60 meters squared every half mile or so. It may be tough to find enough resources to build a wall around half the map, but I'd do it! Instead, it's just a build a very ugly house simulator without you being able to even set a proper framework on a building to hang a wall on, 200 years after the nuclear war. And, in cases where you take over a place like hangman's alley, you can't even fix the structural damage of the somehow-still-existing buildings. Edit: I criticize out of love. I actually play this game too much.

That might get me more into settlement building. A lot of the locations are just blah, but if they had some unique resource attached to each, and reclaiming that land meant the wasteland benefited in some visible way, that would feel like it had a point.

Yeah this is critical. At the high end settlements provide a.) the means to maintain its own population, which is dumb, and b.) more and more pointless caps. If settlements could be specialized or used for unique resources, or both, I think it'd be more enjoyable.

I for one enjoy the dumb settlement building a lot. Player homes have usually been the first mods I look up for these kinds of games, now I can build my own. The raider/mutant stuff they added in a while back are great for making a real shits-ville aesthetic, my Tenpines settlement is basically a small raider encampment which I add another rickety tower or shack to whenever I visit. I can totally see why others don't like it though, it's pretty shallow mechanically. Once you get a bunch of water pumps/farms/crafting tables in you're nearing the top end of settlement's reward spectrum outside of nu-survival mode - caps are easy to get anyway, minuteman patrols/reinforcements are weak as piss and story-wise the settlements don't have any real narrative other than 'you went here and saved/killed everyone and built stuff'. Having something like a noticeable impact on the wasteland or unique resources like the others say would help a bit I think. Something like spawning progressively stronger patrols to and from linked settlements, settlements reliably being able to defend themselves and others from attack after a point, maybe some level of faction interplay (faction-themed build items, ways to attract faction agents to your base for resupply or whatever). I don't honestly know how much of that is feasible in-game though

I'd love to see this happening in the world around you without you always having to be the agent driving it. Capturing a populated place in a fight would be a heck of a lot more fun than repeated "go kill a supahmutant camp and I'll join you" quests, and make the player feel less like a black and white good guy and more like an amoral mercenary. Faction-themed technology trees would be really cool, focusing on certain weapon or armor styles or unlocking faction-specific settlement tech for resource production.

The thing that gets me about the settlement building is that building is all you do. I mean, building stuff is cool don't get me wrong, but I think it'd be neat if there was more you could do with regard to actually running the place-establishing law and order, settling disputes, rooting out synths, making trade agreements, forging defense pacts, that kind of thing. I mean, what's the point of building Bartertown if you can't actually run Bartertown?

Whenever you build/craft something, it'll automatically break down junk in the workbench into the raw materials. If you have supply lines set up (from the first rank of Local Leader), it'll use junk in connected settlements' workbenches if it needs to.

When you craft something it will automatically salvage poo poo from the scrap you've piled in the workshop. No need to manually scrap/salvage it in the workshop mode. The salvage station just makes a settler slowly add random scrap to the workshop.

Personally I'll only really scrap guns and use the weapons bench to check what I've got and scrap the useless ones. Junk itself you don't need to scrap, just go to the workshop, transfer and 'Store All Junk'. Salvage stations (the little junk workbench thing you can build, right?) can have settlers assigned to them to generate a slow stream of junk that builds up when you're out adventuring. Acebuckeye13 posted:I mean, what's the point of building Bartertown if you can't actually run Bartertown? thinking about it this is what a lot of people find unsatisfying with the building system. However Bethesda have also been pushing from the start that the whole building thing be totally optional to the player so they're probably not too keen on trying to bulk out an 'optional' gameplay feature. Plus I've just been watching a settler get confused by an ankle-height platform for about a minute or so. maybe there might be bigger problems with going too deep

"Junk" items are automatically scrapped when you need their components during crafting/building. When you open the workshop inventory there's a button to dump all your junk instantly. If you're playing New-Survival, you'll need to pull your empty bottles back out to fill them at a water pump. Salvage stations are a settler job station to produce junk (settlers already produce junk when not assigned other tasks, this just generates more). Largely worthless because if you're storing your own junk in the workshop, it'll max out the item count and stop generating new items. It may or may not be useful for settlements connected via supply routes, but the system is clunky and nobody is sure how it works exactly.

Have you played TTW? After about 20 hours I uninstalled and went back to playing vanilla. I don't want to be harsh on it because the creators did a really good job for how ambitious it was as a project, but saying it was more stable than vanilla, or even playable as more than a gimmick, is a bit of stretch.
