botany posted:How do you run the wires through the wall though? If it's non-Vault, there's fancy wall passthru conduit that (in my experience) is fugly and a pain in the rear end to use. If Vault, the easiest way to do it is a section of hallway, your door, more hallway and whatever else you want. Vault conduit boxes on the wall on either side of the door, connect to your switches/door(s)/power. I've got a couple places with an extra section of hallway hanging out into the open, just so I can run power off the wallmount to all the external poo poo I've got going. I think I also have one with a glassless window providing powerline access... hanging a Vault conduit on the outside doesn't seem to work, sometimes, and you can't put one on the outside of Atrium pieces anyway. (I'm also using a mod that triples the radius of Vault conduits, so I actually have decent power availability for the most part.) Oh, and I found a use for those ugly-rear end elevators - when I make a Doom Cube (Super power plant, walled-in, roofed and with a bunch of turrets on top), I use the elevator for the second-floor-only entry and roof access. And still get Deathclaws loitering up top.

Son of a Vondruke! posted:If you've got the contraptions DLC you can use conduits to run wires through walls. Otherwise I think you're stuck trying to run a wire through a broken window or a hole in the wall. Before contraptions, pretty sure I managed to run a wire through the door while it was open. (I fuckin hate the wiring system. It's so inconsistent)

Solid concrete walls can be built over existing wires so you can wire up both sides first and then add the wall. If you have Contraptions you can also make a proper double-switch door (if you care about being able to close it from both sides) by connecting both switches to an XOR gate.

Yet another random question: has anyone tried the paintball gun/turret? (Probably added by Contraptions.) Does it target, or is it like the baseball launcher and "just straight ahead"? Can you gently caress with different loads, like frenzy or sleep rounds?

It's useful for triggering the switch that goes off when someone/something shoots it. Or if you want to make a funhouse with traps that only go off once (some people do this, actually) Once saw someone put Marcy Long in stocks, surrounded her with triggered guns, and firing them all off (Marcy was essential back then...so...)

Verviticus posted:what was the mod people were suggesting to install to make survival a little less strict In what way did you want to make it less strict? There are mods that reenable fast travel or quicksaving, or provide things like a portable sleeping bag for quick saving in, or let you fast travel just between settlements.

Got an explosive handmade rifle. Time to use it for 30 minutes and then never again because it's the end of the game and there's no more DLC. Kinda depressing, but on the other hand I'm not sure how much more FO4 I can stomach.

Had to off Sheffield today. He took all my 5mm to go w/ three pinched miniguns (one legendary). I couldn't get him to trade (he just kept repeating his lines) and pickpocketing always resulted in the settlement trurning hostile. Told him to relocate, 100 steps later *BANG* I mean I'm already flush w/ caps and hate miniguns, but it's the principle of it.

Started a new survival game yesterday with various popular mods. I just rescued Preston and did the Sanctuary setup quests. But, in planting food, the workshop UI is asking for "[Raw] Food Name" like [Raw] Mutfruit, to plant. The "Wild Mutfruit" I pick from plants in the woods cannot be planted, as it is not [Raw]. Did I miss a memo? Is this an intended thing in survival mode, or what mod causes this? I'm quite confused. Maybe Valdacil Item Sorting or DEF_INV?

I'm not familiar with the mods but Wild Mutfruit and Mutfruit are different items in the base game and only the latter can be planted. Graygarden has a bunch of plantable mutfruit, or if you just want food in general then get some tatos and melons from Abernathy farm.

That's normal all the way up and down, or at least it is in my game on Normal with no mods. Wild Mutfruit, Wild Corn, etc. are different items from Mutfruit, Corn, etc., and only the latter can be planted. Basically, you have to harvest a domesticated plant to make more domesticated plants. efb

What's this I hear about turning on Nuka World's power? Is it true you have to either raid a few settlements or kill the raiders before your given the power plant key? Couldn't you just use the console to spawn the key? If you do that would it mess quest-line up?

Verviticus posted:anything? I have an Xbox and use a mod called survival options that gives you the ability to toggle on and off all survival conditions. I turn off the carry weight restriction, and give myself the ability to autosave. I also use the mod APC transport, which gives you an APC to fast travel to settlements and cities once you fuel it. It doesn't let you fast travel anywhere you want, so I think it's a reasonable trade off.

If you have Contraptions you can also make a proper double-switch door (if you care about being able to close it from both sides) by connecting both switches to an XOR gate. You can also use a terminal inside if it's connected to the same power grid as the door. I have a garage I made at the drive in with a switch outside and the vault-tech population terminal inside. When I want to get out I just command the terminal to open all switches. GamingHyena fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Sep 1, 2016 |

Well that sounds like an excellent use of 20K caps. If you hurry and clear out the map you could probably powerlevel the poo poo out of your character as you'd get over double the amount experience for each kill. Granted if you had that much money to burn it probably wouldn't have made that much of a difference since you'd probably be level 50+ anyway.

They seem to be there solely to trick the player into wasting time with them, and then afterwards to taunt you with their almost-but-not-quite-food status. "You need some mutfruit? Well, this is almost it... but it's not. Sorry!"

Holy poo poo, once you start knocking over farms your Raider Outposts start generating a *shitload* of money. I'm getting thousands popping up in my Overboss Trunk. I'm pretty sure raider stores charge way, way less for items than normal settlement shops do too.

Edit: I did the Operator one too, A Goods Defense, and that set me up against the Brotherhood. Welp, guess I'm not helping these guys either.

Funny thing about all the Nuka-World weapons and armor: they require more perks than normal to be upgraded. The Western Revolver requires you to have Gunslinger perks too, the AK-47 requires Rifleman and/or Commando perks depending on whether you're making an automatic or a semiauto, and what mods you put on the raider armor is dependent on a variety of perks. The Ultralight mod on armor requires you to have some Pickpocket perks, while the Deep Pockets mod requires Scrounger perks. Interesting.

Survival at higher levels really does devolve into tedium. Mods could help alleviate a few of the problems, but alas PS4Roobanguy posted:the western revolver is just the normal .44. the gently caress is this? I'm all for creatively reusing assets to give us more toys to play with, but this is a particularly lazy palette swap

I noticed that too when I went to go see what mods can be applied to the AK. It suprised me but I don't necessarily hate it - not the concept anyway. As it would encourage more specialization. But to have it tacked on like that is really rather a pain. By the time you get to Nuka-World you're supposed to already be a high level (30+) and having a system that's completely inconsistent with the rest of the game pop up like that means you probably aren't spec'ed correctly for what you want. Few other items in the game (mostly power armour mods IIRC) have multiple requirements like that, and they are quite as strict. I doubt they'd retroactively apply it to the rest of the game but it would be interesti g to see how thay changes things up if they did.

Most of the sidequests involving taming the various parks remain, and I think you get a completion perk similar to the ones in Far Harbor. Need to test it out on another character. Going the raider route, it seems that pissing off one of the three gangs is inevitable (whoever you gave less territory to, since there's an uneven amount of places you can make their home). So you fight the hostile gang that took over the power plant, and use their key to restore power to Nuka World. You get two factional perks for siding with whoever's left; the Disciples and Pack give you interesting melee perks and the Operators give you a sneak attack perk and bonus stealth in darkness. What I need to check is if there's a fourth perk for annihilating the raiders instead (probably). I know the guy running the Nuka-cade, Sierra's side quest, and all the various other cool things you can find around the park remain.

Probably figured it'd remind people of New Vegas is they used a proper single-action wheelgun. Problem Solver (or whatever the Packie legendary AK is called) works *really* well all Krinked out - advanced pistol grip, dot reflex sight, shortest barrel, quick stick mag, compensator and the most powerful automatic receiver.  One magdump will murder Annihilator Sentry Bots. (With full Commando of course.)I will say, the new Pimpbot paintjobs look awesome - gonna end up spending time re-customizing my Doombot Hordes later on. And ascending the Hubologists to the next level was well worth the four power cores.

The operator pack actually just boosts suppressed weapon damage by 25%, it's insane. If non silenced weapons weren't bad before, they are now. Shame there isn't much left to shoot after you finish Nuka World, though.
