I'm just starting fallout 4 for the first time. Is there a general best way to approach settlement building? Like I just started popping a few things up here and there in the first settlement, but the space is already taken up so much by the derelict houses there. In that place, am I supposed to kinda patch up the existing structures rather than try to build new ones for them to use? I've not come across other settlement yet so don't know if (when you're rolling in materials) you're generally best to make some kind of stupid mega fortress or something? Also, the camera for building things sucks. Can it be zoomed out further at all?

Kaddish posted:Wait, after level 50 we can still pick perk cards every level? That makes more sense if so, because I was unsure how you could effectively change a build just relying on card packs every 5 levels. Yes, you still get to pick a perk card every level (in addition to the pack every 5 levels). Also one of the rewards from this season is 50 perk coins.

I tried manually installing by dropping the files in and editing the custom ini but it doesn't seem to be working, I might have to do the injection stuff. I'll have to futz with it later.

NofrikinfuN posted:I ended up taking the "no rads in water" perk for the first time so I could use rivers like an express lane. My last survival run was probably my favorite playthrough of the game. That is such a good perk. You can get pretty much to every major location in Boston via the water and not have to worry about being attacked.

Kin posted:I'm just starting fallout 4 for the first time. It depends how invested you get with skills and whatnot, but you can turn them into miniature towns that make large amounts of purified water, food (for adhesive, mainly), fertilizer, scrap, caps and buying/selling items. You can also invest in skills to set up workbenches for weapons, armour, chemistry, etc.... It requires investing some points into the perks Local Leader to access caravan supply lines that use up a settler or robot to share resources between two settlements, eventually linking them all together. If you don't want to go down that path, you can use them to store your items you find when you are carrying too much, a place to run back to if you're overwhelmed, or just for decorating. It's completely optional to engage with and there are different types of mods that change up the settlement system if you don't like how its implemented.

Is the Encryptid event reasonable to attempt solo (with an unoptimized commando build and a handmade) or should I save my card for a coordinated group? I'm trying to get my hands on them Fixer plans.

Kin posted:I'm just starting fallout 4 for the first time. Once you've gone around sanctuary and scrapped all the collapsed houses, cars, furniture, etc., you should be at just under half your build capacity. The other half is mostly trees and picket fences. The buildings that can't be scrapped shouldn't count for your build limit, only scrappable items. After everything is cleaned up you will have three or four empty foundations to build on and plenty of empty backyard space to use. You can also just use the existing houses as they are, but your settlers will always be happier with a built structure as opposed to a pre war structure. If you don't want to waste too much time on it you can just slap down a few prefabs and sleeping bags and call it good

If you start the event and wait, they will probably join along (as long as it is not during an invaders event or something). Or obviously just ask for some help. Also keep an eye out on player vendors for fixer plans.

There are 2 modes to settlement building, one to place items and one to edit / move. When you're in edit mode and hover over an item you can interact with, it will show you button prompts at the bottom of the screen to scrap (or move or store, if applicable).

Kin posted:Ah, I'm still getting used to the controls, i didn't realise i could scrap all of the existing houses and stuff. one important thing to note about settlement building in fallout 4 is that sanctuary, red rocket, and abernathy farmstead are all too close together to build all of them up. pick one and leave the others undeveloped (ie don't add more stuff or more settlers, the stuff that's already there is fine). if you build 2 or 3 of them basically the game's system can't handle all that stuff so close together and it'll start glitching and performing terribly. This generally applies to settlements within 2 or 3 "grid squares" on the in-game map (they're there if you squint), it's just that people run into it with those three first/most commonly. it's called the "triangle of death."

it's good to do one or both of the raider/settler quest lines in F76 just because there's a lot of the high end equipment gated behind faction standing with either of them and it's a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge tedious pain to grind it up otherwise, although not as bad as it used to be now that there's Eviction Notice/Moonshine Jamboree e: chinese stealth suit is also a really useful alternative to a hazmat suit

Running around with every mutation is clearly beneficial in many ways but it's getting sort of old having to go out of my way to find a cow to milk whenever I need to reduce rads. I'm just kind of getting used to always only having 1/4 of my health bar at this point.

Ugh, okay I think getting the platinum trophy in FO76 might be the end of the journey for me. At least for now. The grind stuff went from fun to annoying overnight. And I don't have the perk cards or weapons to fully switch to one of the meta builds. But it was fun to come back for a bit. I still have a couple more weeks of 1st left so maybe I just need a couple days away. Pretty sure I played like 30 hours of my 220 total in the past week. Good luck to all and thanks for all the help!

Heya goons, I got a FO76 question, how the heck do you stay topped up with ammo when your new? I got the itch and I'm having a blast blasting things but gosh do I ever run out of ammo quick even with Commando and Expert at 3. Whats the ammo secret that all those power armoured people at events know that I don't?

In 76 it doesn't matter the level of the items you scrap for the sake of unlocking mods, right? I'm sitting on a mountain of mats and would love to blast through a bunch of these.

Whats the ammo secret that all those power armoured people at events know that I don't? As someone also fairly new, two things I’ve picked up on so far: 1. Do the daily quest thing from the map if you see someone else on your team doing it or if there’s a group for it. It drops a poo poo ton of ammo for whatever you’re holding both from enemies and the end of mission rewards. 2. Especially if you’re using full auto weapons, feather the trigger a bit because the server lag will eat a shitload of ammo on shots fired after an enemy’s hp is zeroed but before the server catches up.

Correct, you can craft the lowest level weapons and scrap them to get all the learnable mods.

Whats the ammo secret that all those power armoured people at events know that I don't? As above, "Daily Ops" (and "Expeditions") are fantastic semi-group ways to generate ammo. The old style way is still effective but requires a short little farming routine: 1) This quest to unlock learn and build Excavator Power Armor 2) Heading to Lucky Hole Mine, and farm all the lead veins while wearing your Excavator PA. 3) Get back to your camp and equip Rank 3 Super Duper (Luck) and Rank 2 Ammosmith (Agility) - (and if you have spare legendary perk slots or coins, there's also one of those for crafting even more ammo) 4) Smelt all that lead and craft all that ammo There's also the Ammo Converter, and Ammo Constructor, both sold in Crater for bullion depending on your reputation level. The converter is purchasable sooner, and you feed unused ammo into it for points, to then buy your needed ammo. The exchange rate isn't the best, but Railroad Spikes are just steel and convert pretty well. The constructor unlocks at the highest rep level, and basically generates a round or two of your choosing every minute, but only up to a certain max weight, and no Ultracite ammo. Hang in there, it gets a little better. I'm subscribed so I have the ammo storage box, and I'm at the point where I can just craft an absolute shitload of ammo and play for a month or two before I start to get low. Lastly, have you looked at Automatic Railway Rifles in VATS? Those drat spikes seem to grow on trees (since almost everything dies in 1 or 2 headshots.)

Look for a team and try one out! Also check out the Scrounger perk (Luck) and start checking for green ammo boxes when you're exploring and looting - every area usually has a couple.

Meleeing basic enemies and the like can save you a few bullets Open with a ranged sneak attack if it's a bigger foe Look into weapons with bonus crippling effects - shotgun's great for breaking limbs quickly; taking out the legs on anything renders them far more vulnerable to weapons you have a lot of ammo even if they only deal chip damage (be careful of robots, as some will explode if you take out their arms and legs) Toss grenades and molotovs into groups Vinylshadow fucked around with this message at 05:18 on May 3, 2024 |
