Is there a better/easier solution for Adhesive than just planting my own crops? I built my camp on the bank of a river with a junk pile adjacent, and I've got a Collectron going as well, so I'm good on most other mats.

you can make a habit of killing stuff like floaters, which also drop a lot of oil (the fire ones), and tend to spawn in groups of 6 in a lot of locations there's a bunch of preset corn, tato and mutfruit to harvest though

I don't think oil helps me? The freezer floater type does drop adhesive though, and I definitely pop those things whenever I see them. I just prefer passive mat generation so I can focus more on fun and less on grinding when I'm running around.

I think you can always buy bulk screws or adhesive in the mall if caps aren't an issue for you. If you are okay fighting them, I believe anglers are a good source of adhesive too, but the only real big groups of them will be jamborees, occasional hordes and they seem to be somewhat frequent waves when you capture certain workshops like Grafton Steel. If you can get a horde, post up somewhere and leave the boss alive to farm a bunch. I've done this before with yao goai and loose springs as well. Adhesive farming is the surest bet, though. It WILL get annoying at times because supermutants can spot corn and tatos from miles away and they absolutely loathe the stuff.

It has a very good player base (a few dicks, but you can just mute voices and communicate with emotes) There is a storyline, quests and whatnot. I'm actually liking it a bit more than fallout 4. Just make sure to turn on "casual mode" if you don't want to get griefed.

Those are donations you can take freely. I suggest opting for the level 20 jump at the start but starting at 1 is fine. It's different enough from 4 that there are some adjustments to make but it's worth it. Never thought I'd love FO76 but it's all I play lately. If you like building settlements, 76 is better, just on a smaller scale. Because it's online, the stuff you build actually matters. Someone spawned in near my diner and spammed the "follow me" emote. We went over a hill and right there was their own diner! Different style and really cool!

After my group started playing, helping each other along the way, it turned out one of our more reticent friends had started playing as well without telling any of us and when she did join us she was basically at max* level. So: pretty chill. *level 50 is not actually max level but post 50 is like prestige levels.

76 starts out more or less like the other Bethesda Fallouts. It lets you start at level 20, which you probably want to do. You'll get peppered with quests you can follow or not, they'll be there when you want to do them. Being online, carry weight isn't possible to mod out, which has been annoying to get used to for me. Gotta keep that inventory clean. Weapons weigh a lot comparatively. There's some always-online stuff like, always find a casual team to join for the INT boost and maybe someone's sharing a decent perk. There are public events regularly happening that you can join even if underleveled which will help in gaining levels, getting some of the more limited currencies, and also get the nearby fast travel spot unlocked without having to walk there. You can wander the region alone like any other Fallout and enjoy the story. Sometimes you'll run into a neat CAMP that tries to extend the town its in, or be an obstacle course. Rarely someone's made a trap camp, which I haven't run into yet, but have heard about.

On the other hand, a new player starting at level one may be better just so that they aren't overwhelmed by the perk card system. It's a slower start but everything is level scaled so it's NBD.

When you're getting started in 76, remember to just look in all the ammo boxes and duffel bags and you shouldn't ever have an ammo shortage. like even if you have zero ammo, go find some ammo boxes or duffel bags and the will have some to get you going again.

It's a slower start but everything is level scaled so it's NBD. That's a good point. I did the 20 boost and it took me a couple hours to get settled. Another tip: It won't matter at first but eventually you'll want to pick a weapon class and generally stick with it because getting all the associated perk cards can take a while. You'll get them all eventually but focusing early can help smooth things out. Commando is the all-rounder. I snipe with a commando build, so don't think you HAVE to be Rifleman for that. Sneaky builds are good fun and very powerful but essentially get no use in public events. My commando build still has sneak skills, they just aren't utilized some of the time.

I don't regret starting at level 1, a bud is happy he started at 20. If you don't mind spending a few hours shooting poo poo guns, level 1 is perfectly fine.

Starting at 1, imo, is if you like your Fallout experience to be that dire survivalist against the elements who solves their logistics and food problems and breaks the game over it's knee. Starting at 20 feels like when you want to hop into Fallout to try out some weird build you thought or heard of but don't want to spend a bunch of samey time getting online. If it was my first time I'd probably start at 1, but if you have a friend who is starting after you and just wants to shoot poo poo I'd tell them to start at 20.

It's a slower start but everything is level scaled so it's NBD. I found it to be the other way around. It was way harder to choose from the huge amount at level 1, but starting at level 20 gave me a sensible and balanced perk card build that is better than I would have had at level 20 unless I was using a step-by-step guide or something.

My only issue with the perk cards so far is that I keep forgetting to switch into/out of my "crafting" loudout at my CAMP. I think I need to reconfigure my floorplan so the punch card machine is right at the front door to remind me. I might try that perk loudout manager too, or at least until I have enough SPECIAL points that I can afford to keep my lockpicking/hacking perks on all the time.

I put the SPECIAL stand right by my front door early on. It sucks to forget to change your loadout, especially once the difference between your camp loadout and your general loadout is several hundred percent of damage.

There's a legendary perk you can get at 50 that makes all the lock picking and hacking cards obsolete. It's like the devs admitting it's a stupid investment.

The way I always know is that my camp build has no weight reduction perks so I'll immediately go from 100/300ish to 700/300 in weight

Every enemy scales with you, within the lvl boundaries for each part of the map. You missed out on a whole lot of machetes and pipe revolvers, while having no perk cards or attributes to speak of. e; the quests don't really send you there, but Toxic Valley (northwest) is where you should hang around after clearing the mid-western starting area. After that Ashlands in the southwest and/or the centre of the middle mountainous part (around Rose's tower and Foundation) sauer kraut fucked around with this message at 02:25 on May 16, 2024 |

I've been playing 76 for a few months now and I'm surprised at how much I love this game. Great userbase, lots of fun costumes and gear. Tons of mechanical flexibility. So far I've dragged one of my partners, one of my kids, and two of my friends into the game with me and I've gotten up to Lv90. I'm on version 4.75 of my camp and I'm finally feeling like my setup is sufficiently Fallout-y. I ultimately need to figure out how to get my hands on plans for Antler Chandeliers and some bone-based clutter, and I'm farming the Mothman Equinox event to try and get my hands on the Mothman Throne. I'm pretty happy with how it's looking given my current resources, though! I'm parked directly outside Point Pleasant and it's been really nice seeing people make use of the convenient location, and they seem to like the camp a lot too.

Funny thing I noticed about both FO4 and now 76 (thanks for the tips btw) is that the writer does not seem to know how to use 'it's' correctly. I've never seen it used correctly in any subtitle.

Honestly for me the worst part was level 30 to 40 since I didn't have any good plans for weapons or armor and didn't have enough ballistic fiber to repair or make new stuff. Had to take a bit of time to read some guides to get back to a state where I was easily killing mobs again

I was wondering "people weren't kidding when they said the core recharger was slow, its been like 5 hours of real world time and none of these have increased in charge at all" and then i realized the charger was wired into something that wasn't actually connected to the power grid. And now it works. One thing that does kinda bug me is fusion cores vanished after they're depleted, so if you use a gattling laser, you'd need to reload before it fully expends its entire charge.
