You guys talking about the Institute not having power armor do know there's an Institute paint job for X-01 power armor, right? Coolest looking paint job in the game and I use it on my main suit. You have to get the Institute ending to get it.

I just finished Far Harbor, except for a few side quests. I was hoping for peace between the Atomites and Harbormen. But the quest just sat there unresolved after Dima took one to the face. So naturally I decided to murder all the Children of Atom, since the Zealots have that Marine armor. I triggered the event and completed the quest.

If you're running up to the robot junkyard for early-game power cores, go ahead and head from them towards the USAF tracking station or whatever it is; there's a crashed Vertibird in a field on the north side of the road, and a set of PA - as I recall, I got a nearly full set of T-45 there long before I went down near Concord. There's PA suits all over the drat place, without too much trouble to get at for the most part. You'll have more of an issue trying to keep repaired early-game than finding power cores. State of the Humungus Address: welp, got my level 3 Raider rear end in a top hat perk, and threw tribute chests at all my conquests. Takes a while to fill, but drat, you get a lot of poo poo when they do. (You can get Legendaries in 'em, too.) Multiple Pick-Me-Up stations, which only require power and not a worker, will churn out free drugz like crazy. I should try multiple stills, but I expect that will just make more vodka. <shrug> Almost none of my Nuka-Ganger playgrounds have been attacked - except for Croup Manor, which takes 6-10 Minutemen (sometimes with dogs) on a nearly daily (in-game) basis. I did end up taking Abernathy Farm as a bully-into-submission supply center, but then I fell off the roof in my armor and aggro'd the cat, so everyone died, how horrible. And then the Workbench was still accumulating corn/tatos/water even with population 0. (Although I think Covenant was doing that as well - I suspect the cat.) The Sanctuary Red Rocket is Raidertown now, too, but doesn't seem to aggro on provisioners or traders. <shrug> I've noticed that Nuka-Raiders can wander past the Minutemen outpost on the road to Croup Manor with no issues, though. Went back to Jungleland, because it was my Pack joint, and reflagged for Operators. Then went down into the basement and turned on the genetic replicator again.  Except it was last set to make gazelles, not gatorclaws, and I had to You'll need a jetpack, but if you climb up the broken roller coaster in Westworld, you can get onto the top two platforms of the oil well for some loot. Also, there's a Toy rocketship on top of the highest "rock" point above Mike Mulligan's place. (Might go see if the Anaconda has some hidden/hard to reach loot, but not right away.)(With a jetpack, you can reach the top of the Power Plant and clear it from the top, if you like.) The Nuka-World junkyard has a respawning Star Core up on the upper level of the warehouse, by the Animatronic Alien. Conceivably, you could load up on Star Cores there, then run like a sumbitch to Star Command and take command of the systems and still have a full complement of bots and turrets. I am giving serious thought to starting a new game, and making a run right to Nuka-World for the Splatmaster, just to maul my way through the Commonwealth/Far Harbor... only thing that will suck is going back for more ammo all the time.

How much food does a single seller eat? I'm playing on survival and sanctuary is not producing food to the work bench, I have to harvest it myself, even with workers assigned. I can only assume that the sellers are eating it, especially since my water production just dropped by ten bottles.

If you take over a settlement and turn it into a raider place, can you still build stuff there as normal? I'm going to wait a little while longer to make sure that all my mods get updated properly for Nuka-World, then I'm going to start a raider playthrough, avoiding Concord and Preston for as long as possible (the entire game, if I can do it) and siding with the Institute.

Additional food units above settlement population are converted into a random roll on the surplus food table, provided you don't already have an outstanding (I think 50+?) stock of food. Really you're better off harvesting it yourself, seeing as how that doesn't actually give your settlers less food.

Outposts works like normal settlements except that raiders get extremely sad if you assign them to farming. Vassals just provide food to nearby outposts and you can't access the workbench, but they'll never be attacked either.

I'm working my way through the railroad quests to unlock ballistic weave for my sneak pistol/rifle character. Is there any half decent looking, stealthy clothing in this game? Leather "armor" looks dumb as poo poo by itself, like I stumbled into a department store belt display rack. Add to that the fact that I haven't found anything better than the briliant-blue Vault 111 clothes to go under it, so my "stealth" character looks like a cross between Tobias Fünke's blue man and leather daddy characters. Except, with an army helmet that looks like a camo-green cereal bowl someone dumped on his head. I have the courser outfit, which looks neat, but can't be worn with armor, and I like my armor mods. I'm not such a serious player that I need to look like a Tom Clancy protagonist, but I'm kind of tired of looking like Bojangles the Bondage Clown in 3rd-person dialogue scenes.

Everything else is some variation of sci-fi nonsense or covered in spikes.

My favourite sneak thief look is leather or combat armor on BoS officer uniform. I think in the base game you cant put weave on the uniform tho. For the combat armor, the medium or heavy variants are good stealthy looking still except the chest piece, which like all other heavy chest pieces, looks like garbage.

Try road leathers under shadowed leather armor...black makes a big aesthetic difference. But helmets are terrible for aesthetics. Kellogg's outfit and even Greaser Jacket & Jeans works well, as does the Adventurer outfit. I'm assuming you mean without mods, because with mods the possibilities are endless...you just have to sort through the bad to get to the good. Lots of good stuff, though. Edit: oh yeah...forgot about the BOS uniform. Good choice. Speedball posted:Having a shortcut out definitely removes a lot of the BS of dungeon-crawling, yeah. True. So true. Hey... I got the Contraptions DLC mostly to use manufacturing extended mod. I'm actually interested to know if anybody's actually built any cool / fun manufacturing stuff. Honestly I'm just seeing that I can just do anything practical faster myself without the machines (scrapping, building weapons & armor). I'd like to build something super intricate with logic switches and multilevel conveyors and laser tripwire counters and all that nonsense, but just the process of sorting out the right materials to go to the right machines takes up waaaay too much space. It might just be better to build a machine that shoots Jangles the Moon Monkey through a basketball hoop switch which sets off fireworks and a graduated lightbox display. Oh, except Jangles fucks up the conveyor machines. Oh, and, ah...this may sound stupid...to use the autobutcher you have to be able to actually pick up corpses. I don't have any idea how to do that. It's not bound to anything on my controller and I don't see it in the PC options. he;lp...?

Hold down the activation button (on a PS4 controller it's X) while pointing at an object and instead of interacting with it you'll start carrying it in physical space. Works on corpses as well as any other objects you want to use as decorations! As far as Contraptions go: it's not necessarily very practical to make your own ammo or bombs with the stuff since you still need so many raw ingredients, but it IS fun for making stupid Rube Goldberg machines. I have used its Warehouse structures, an elevator, and a big conveyor belt to create a giant display mall full of statues of costumes, magazine racks and lit Power Armor display cases. I also made a machine that just has steel balls going up and over a building and around in a circle and hitting a power counter that keeps track of how many balls have gone through. Just 'cause. While it has a lot of cosmetic stuff in it, Wasteland Workshop has more practical stuff in it that affects the main game. Fusion Reactor, Decontamination Arch (which is really drat useful on Survival, because on Survival Radaway weakens you) and the monster cages have practical uses for either farming monster meat or making awesome settlements guarded by zombies. Couple other things too like a powered Water purifier that draws from the ground instead of a pool and a gardening patch so you can put crops anywhere you like, even indoors or in weird locations that don't have a lot of arable space (like Jamaica Plains) Speedball fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Sep 12, 2016 |

I decided to rid the park of the raiders, my other character can have the fun of enslaving the Commonwealth. Mom don't play that poo poo, especially after all the work that has gone into building those places up. I came across an oddity, I have Kremvh's sacrificial blade mod on a "powerful" machete I carry around, but almost never use. I removed it to try and put it on Oscar's sword, but you can't do that, and putting it back on the machete removed four points from its damage (77 down to 73). Luckily I had saved before so I just reloaded, but what would cause that to happen? 2nd edit; I found a neat Easter Egg on top of the building Nisha hangs out in. somebody frozen in carbonite, I don't recognize the face Edit; sounds reasonable.

I'm mostly just making an educated guess here, but I think something about that mod is a bit off compared to others. Removing it from that machete may have... reset it, I suppose, to a generic baseline machete? So when you put the mod back on, it's technically applied to a weaker weapon. EDIT: Further digging, the mod can only be added to machetes and attaches to the "upgrade" slot, same as any normal machete mod. It seems like this might be causing the weirdness? No other unique mod really seems to work this way. The Silver Shroud gun, for example, applies a direct material swap through a leveled list. Ashmaker is just an incendiary legendary applied to a minigun, like most named guns. It's a weird one-off. Midnight Voyager fucked around with this message at 04:00 on Sep 13, 2016 |

Speaking of Ashmaker, is it possible to mod Incendiary to be a stackable DOT like wounding, instead of a (worthless) non-stacking DOT? Failing that, make it a fire damage version of Plasma Infused (instant damage), with the DOT for the cosmetic effect. The Lone Badger fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Sep 13, 2016 |

Asking you to save dirt poor homesteaders who are begging for help is clearly sociopathic behavior. Also, remember the retaking the castle mission where you murder all the mirelurks and their queen? If you read the Wasteland Survival Guide you would know that mirelurks have their own society based around a little bubbling castle. And now Preston wants you to kill them all. Clearly a psycho.

Anyone know why I wouldn't be able to choose Finch Farm as a raider target? It was one of my bigger farms and I'd like to claim the 50 some odd food there but its perpetually greyed out in Shanks list which the help indicates that means I have an active quest there. Well I've long since done the only quest I know of there actual months ago, and I've got no active quest there now. There also aren't any companions there either. I've tried killing all the Finches, going back to Saugus and making sure I didn't imagine finishing it on this save file, even tried resetting and re-completing the quest in the console to no avail. Not sure what else to try really. Might just scrap the place and move the resources/people over to Abernathy or something.

If anybody has been overzealous with the "Scrap Everything" mod and has used scrapall in places like Jamaica Plain, Hangman's Alley, and Sanctuary that really ruins those areas, FYI you can uninstall that mod and all of those places will be restored to their original vanilla state (PLUS what you have built there at the time, so you're going to have buildings inside of buildings) and you can then scrapall again to remove the stuff that you built yourself and leave the stuff that can't be normally scrapped. This was a lovely discovery for me - you can then re-install Scrap Everything and use it more judiciously. Maybe this might help someone; just putting it out there.

a kitten posted:Man, these vertibirds drop out of the sky like nothin, every time I see one it crashes 2 minutes later. Makes me kinda nervous about accepting more BoS missions. You haven't run into immortal Vertis yet, then. I've had 'em either attacking a settlement/outpost, or just being wandering monsters (Railroad missions from PAM), and literally be unkillable - about one pixel of health left, all the crew dead and ejected, engines on fire... and still slowly orbiting their target point, firing away. (This also happened at the Battle of Bunker Hill.) Usually ends as they slowly lose altitude until they clip into the ground and eventually explode for reasons unknown. Although the last one had 'em clip and disappear, after which they somehow offloaded a couple armored BoS Paladins, and only then exploded. (I'd crit'd both the doorgunner and pilot out earlier in the fight, and no one else was visible or targetable in the aircraft.  )Half the time they're crashing in random encounters is because they're busty aggro'ing everything in the area, which leads to getting shot to gently caress, and continuing to try and murder whatever their original target was. This leads to low hovers while blasting away with the nose guns, engines taking enough fire to fail, followed by spinning/drifting into whatever tall object was nearby. Dumbass Verti pilots never got proper training - nose-guns are for drivebys, door guns are for orbiting at a reasonable altitude and hosing ground targets. Dump your armored dudes from altitude, they'll be fine, no need to touch down stupid boots loving never listen to the vets telling them how poo poo really is why in the Old Brotherhood we were taught this poo poo before we ever got behind the stick...

The one vertibird I've seen in the city that didn't crash dropped two armored BoS knights who proceeded to attack and murder Swan  Then I went back a little later after resting up at the empty Combat Zone (survival mode) and a couple of non-armored BoS were walking around near his pond like it was nothing. Pretty cold, guys.
