16 is the soft cap for a server. You won't get randomed onto a server at 16 or above, but you can still join it via friend list. 24 is the hard cap for a server. The game will straight up tell you the server is full once that number are in, and put you in a queue to join once someone else leaves. If a server that has been online for more than 24 hours remains under 4 players for a while (2-3 hours or so) without fresh blood coming in, it shuts down for a restart and you'll need to move to a different server. All servers are restarted with weekly maintenance, usually on Tuesdays at 10AM Eastern. Varance fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Jan 3, 2021 |

Does a server restarting erase the farms and things you've built?

I have never, ever had to use a diluted stim pack in the game. Or even a super stim pack. Whenever I get them I dump them into my vendor for free. Ive got my camp/museum of toilet paper sitting on a pile of trash that I harvest constantly. Although I havent logged in in like three weeks. I got tired of doing dailies.

C.A.M.P., no, that stays put unless you move it yourself or someone else used the same place for theirs on a server you're joining. If you're spot is taken, you'll be given the option to relocate to a different server. Workshops that you've claimed go away when you leave a server, even on Fallout 1st servers. If the server is still up, another player can come in and pick up a workshop that has already been set up. A server restart wipes all workshops on that server.

I did discover that artillery shells won't harm another player's CAMP stuff. So its been kind of fun tossing artillery flares into other people's camps from hiding and watching them scramble.

The Daily Ops give you a ton of ammo for whatever your equipped weapon is. Every corpse has 4-16 .45 for my Lever Action.

That depends on the ammo though. Some weapons result in random ammo (Mostly melee obviously, but missile launchers and fatmen as well) while others only give half of that. When I pull out the AGL I only see 2-4 40mm rounds per corpse.a pale ghost posted:Do you have a link to that mod? https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout76/mods/151

I was having a fun time, following a build for shotgun/melee in your face combat. Found a place called WestTek, wanted to explore.... I can sympathize. I want to enjoy 76, the actual world is one of the best of the 3D Fallouts (or, really, of anything to come out of Bethesda) and it's a rare case of genuinely compelling environmental storytelling pre-Wastelanders, but I just cannot get over all the concessions made to making loads of money off people who already paid for a full AAA-priced game and artificially padding the playtime to get basic supplies to do any of what's compelling. I've set it aside for now.

the best way to enjoy 76 is as a social game, even if you don't play with friends. join casual teams and do events. it's all a big heart emote and lunchbox opening party. everyone helps each other, griefing and combat is super rare. nobody wants to PVP. it is refreshing after playing stuff like The Division and Escape from Tarkov which attracts all the worst people on the planet.

Yeah if you look for tips and tricks videos and find early ones from launch you'll find all kinds of "pvp build" videos, which is very misleading because all those people are gone now. The last bunch of griefing was when people were harassing Fallout 1st owners back when 1st came out. Those griefers are either gone now or don't give a poo poo any more. I certainly don't hear anyone complaining when people put down survival tents during scorched earth.

PVP in this game exists in 3 tiers. 1) Dickwaving contest between Tesla Rifle users. It's all about who can spam the Quantums faster. 2) Morons who got a Legacy off of Ebay, attack you and melt themselves because Legacies are a) not supposed to be used at close range and b) Fireproof 3 is not nearly as effective as it is against normal explosives. These are also the people who will block you and you'll never see them again because you thought that teabagging their corpse was the appropriate response to this. A good way to annoy those Legacy clowns is getting up close and personal. With Pacifist on they WILL kill themselves when they shoot you while nothing happens to you. 3) Friendly PVP after events. Store your poo poo before you do this, especially after Scorched Earth, because the Flux will be deleted when you die too soon after the event. Avoid 1+2 like the plague. 3 used to happen a lot but it's died down signifcantly. Not sure why. Level means nothing in this game but people still tend to run away when the scary level 740 rocks on.

I have a legendary one with Troubleshooter on it that I enjoy shooting at robots. It uses fusion cells which are cheap and plentiful. I think the lightning arc also bounces on to an additional nearby enemy so you get a little extra damage on crowds. I dunno. YMMV.

Best when chaining to multiple enemies, just make sure you have pacifist mode on. there's also a fun bug sometimes when I run my gauss minigun and tesla where the tesla somehow ends up with 600 rounds in the mag instead of 15 I've had a similar bug happen with The Dragon, which is awesome. I think it's Swift Hands or something, reloads 24 rounds, but the gun shatters like glass before you can fire them all.

There's no dmage resistance for frost damage, so it slows the poo poo out of people and melts them.

I keep reading (on reddit anyway) about how these legacy weapons melt SBQ's, but I'm fairly certain I was doing Line in the Sand today with a guy with a legacy explosive gatling plasma (the projectiles were bullets not lasers and exploded on ground impacts), and honestly he wasn't really ripping through everything the way I expected. It took 4 of us (2 low levels) a relatively long time to take down a 2 star SB). Granted he wasn't in PA so that means no stabilizer.

Starting this game is a bit of a slog, ain't it? Everything seems to be scaling around my level. Is that the case for everything? Only reason I haven't bothered with parties or even trying to figure out how to play with other is because I'm like level 6 with no idea what I'm doing.

Does armor penetration do stuff? I have two different sniper rifles, one with a +armor pentration enchantment and the other with -VATS cost. And I never perked up fully the damage cards in favor of two ranks of tank killer. I ask because I am not seeing the difference between having armor penetration and not.

The armor pen legendary by itself is worth ~22% less damage reduction in most cases. If you have the perk that provides some armor pen I believe that one of the two is reduced by half (The perk?). The two combined is something like +37% I believe.

Manwithastick posted:What are the best story mods for Fallout 4? I'm partial to Tales from the Commonwealth, though I haven't found everything in it. And because why the gently caress not when it's done everything else, Sim Settlements 2 has not only a character who serves to tutorialize and gradually turn on various functions of the mod, but a rainbow of settlers existing in the world to recruit with quests or just looky-loo on up to your establishment and bring their quests with them. I had a soft-spoken gentleman who wanted a recording of a song and a murder death kill raider who wanted me to do some murder death killing seated side by side in the Sanctuary bar, and let me tell you that was an extremely interesting six-foot walk when I stopped back to resupply whenever their stuff was on the back burner. Both of those are more side stories than main plotline replacements, though.

How reliable is the game with fusion cores? I remember FO4 needing a minimal amount of special/perk investment to really make them last and make power armor use more of a permanent option and ideally that's what I'd like from this game since power armors are cool as hell.

After playing my PS4 save up to level 63 and spending basically the whole time in power armor with a bunch of Endurance perks, I just started a PC Fallout 4 Survival Mode save. Are there any huge traps or leveling fuckups I need to know about for Survival mode? IIRC I just hit Level 6 and I'm still loving around north of Drumlin Diner.

Any build can use them but for the one shot mayhem to happen you have to be specced for it.

So I'm playing FO4 for the first time now and I'm really struck by just how much poo poo's piled up in my inventory, and just how cluttered it is. Do I get it right that you have separate clothing and armour items, and then one slot for every arm and leg, as well as the torso?

Jan 5, 2021 22:09

Yep. You can wear most Armor in pieces over clothing, however you should know that there are some outfits where armour isn’t allowed. Usually it’s bulkier outfits that you cannot wear armour with, but it’s not entirely consistent.

Jan 5, 2021 22:26

Okay. That's needlessly complex. Is there a mod out there that simplifies clothing back to fo3/NV levels, or a mod that sets junk items to 0 weight? Crafting seems important in this game, but I don't want to constantly have to mind all the junk for it.
