Got an RX 480. Framerate is so high it fucks up the simulation in the menus and lockpicking minigames.  Meanwhile, dicking around with Vault 88 and I realize now that I am terrible at workshop stuff. It's interesting enough, but I am so bad at it.

Sonofabitch! I think the mind control subliminal Phoropter must be occasionally lethal. One of my Vault Dwellers is dead in the streets with no explanation. I'm *pretty* sure it wasn't the soda drugged with happy juice, that's supposed to be non fatal.

I don't think it is. Once the mod thing is released. Bethesda game mods tend to be "put in folder, click checkbox on launch" Fallout 4 is still in the "put in folder, edit text files, pray to god, never mind didn't work anyway" For me at least.

Hey you're right! There are mods all over now. Do I still have to edit text files to install mods from modnexus? I really want a proper pump action shotgun and a desert eagle working, Edit: I was about to get the modern weapons mod but apparently it breaks the game balance.

Has anyone made a good vault yet? So far I've been almost exclusively building atrium-style rooms with the ovular street lights for lighting as they're the only thing which casts any light. Also, there is not enough copper in the wastes to support my vault lighting.

I made the entrance a huge 3 story atrium that goes almost all the way across to the far side of the cavern where the subway tunnels are. Then to the right I made 6 residence rooms (2 per level) and a clinic. Then to the right I made a sweet overseer's office/bedroom/bathroom that goes all the way back to the overlook with the stairs going down. Then I started on the hallway that was going to go down the other left path which was where I was going to make the Robotics Research area, but at this point I am maxed out and can't build anything else. I hate the tiny build limit they impose and hate that I have to try and find a mod just to make the game decent.

I love it, but unless you're playing a survival run where enemies do like 5x damage to you, it results in you and your companions armed to the teeth with assault rifles that will drop anything in 1 or two hits. Having enemies do more damage makes it less bullshit because then, at least, you both die super fast (especially if the enemy spawns equipped with one of the modern weapons)

I imagine that would end up rendering the vanilla weapons pretty useless, though.

But after you acquire some of the "Modern weapons" the other weapons in the game becomes worthless and the game trivial.

Welp, doing a lot of screwing around in Sanctuary with Vault bits. (And collecting deathclaws - I'm up over twelve now, and have two or three trapped in one of the houses - it's the one with two deathclaws on the roof.  Saw an unannounced Gunner raid come in and my turrets hardly got spun up before everyone got eaten.  )If you scrap the destroyed houses, you have nice foundations to start building off of. (Except for the stupid shrubberies blocking my artistic vision.  ) Made a quick one using the tall Atrium entrance bits as an experiment, and it came out well enough, mostly - not sure exactly how the gaps in the upper slanted surfaces are supposed to be closed off, though. <shrug> This was built on the foundation to the north side of the roundabout with the bigass dead tree.Continuing clockwise to the next foundation (with a downhill slope towards the river), I went bigger - and still had to funkify shapes to get around those loving shrubs. (Might do a single-level inset to allow bush clearance, and make the rest of the building One Big Block.) The ugly-rear end grimy elevators do snap to Vault floor levels properly, but look horrible and, building off the foundation, you only get four stories and a roof before hitting the buildable-are- limit, heightwise. Thus, the elevator pokes out through the roof.  However, with the downward slope, I may be able to extend the building to the river and enclose my... very much non-Vault-Tec scavvy water purifiers. Might keep that room locked off with a terminal, it's not in keeping with the overall style. Right now, I'm playing with external pods of rooms for residences/etc. Hallway out (or stairway for fancier vert positioning), ending in a four-way intersection. Hallway out from each remaining doorway, drop a room section with doorway to mate, add a window opposite, and two corners on each side gives you a six-floor-square "pod", three to a "branch", and the size means they don't interfere with each other or the main building. (Of course, I can't be totally symmetrical and add pods to all sides of the building because of build-area limits and/or trees clipping through/blocking construction.) I'll fiddle some more, especially with dropping complex weapons to be stored in the workbench - that worked well in clearing some buildable-object total, and I have like sixty Fat Man launchers, for example. Eventually, I should have all the crafting and stores safely inside, with only the Brahmin troughs, caravan station and cages outside. Oh, and the stupid immovable Workbench. Garden plots can be added, probably all in one big And thus, Deathclaw Sanctuary Supermax will come to be, looming over the Wasteland with a vision of a bright shining future...

Muahahaha, I love how deathclaws naturally patrol up and down the streets of Sanctuary. Interesting thing I found out, if you defeat the Institute as the BOS, the Defend the Castle mission becomes a "Defend it from Super Mutants" mission.

Speedball posted:Muahahaha, I love how deathclaws naturally patrol up and down the streets of Sanctuary. I was getting a series of "Defend the Castle" missions after Mass Fusion (went as BoS, didn't complete starting Liberty Prime and later murdered the BoS) and had, IIRC, two Institute and two Gunner attacks before I finally got around to nuking the nerdhole. I really should have just murdered the Institute manually, because I got less and less-interesting loot via the Minutemen version. In Sanctuary screwing around at lunchtime, I have a couple test stairwells running down to the river, but the buildable area is at an odd angle and I'm not sure if I could make anything nice. Maybe I should just start in the river and build up towards my foundations? I need to cap some footage of the nightly mass-iron-pumping-and-gymnastics at the 5x weight benches and pommel horses, because the deathclaws will congregate around, watching, prowling a little, and sharpening their claws on the dirt. Maybe they want to work out, too?

The Robot DLC is buggy. I have a robots who can't be renamed with hacking modules that won't activate on novice terminals. Also, what's a good setup? I'm not high enough for the good stuff but using double top tier automatic lasers shreds most organics from medium to short range and have the added bonus of activating like tracers for me to hone in on.

Gumbel2Gumbel posted:The Robot DLC is buggy. I have a robots who can't be renamed with hacking modules that won't activate on novice terminals. That's pretty good right now. If you have Robotics Expert you can start building the REALLY cool robot modules and Sentry Bots (plus the added bonus of being able to simply shut off any dangerous robots you face). One of my favorites is the robot module that gives you regenerating health out of combat similar to Life Giver rank 3, though if you're going for a stealthy character there's a module that makes you and your robot both more stealthy. Important question, have you beaten the Mechanist yet? Finishing the Automatron questline is what makes all the robot schematics unlock, so you're not limited to copying stuff you've collected parts of. There's a lot of Raider armor for robots that looks chunky but requires less rare materials to build. Or Voltaic armor that looks all electrical-y that upgrades a robot's energy damage. Protectron heads aren't very good for accuracy but there's a lot of bonus helmet armors for them that confer neat effects, like a chance to make enemies frenzy or to simply explode in chunks on a hit.

I usually go for the Robobrain because the text says it is the most accurate, but I hate that it will stop raining pure death with its dual laser Gatling cannons for several full seconds to shoot that stupid ~psychic attack~ at the most distant raider that does gently caress-all.

It's possible to get infinite sprint in fallout 4. At an endurance of 21, action points don't drain and you can just keep sprinting. Endurance 10 +1 from the Special book. You have to be in survival mode, and let yourself get hungry, which temporarily lowers your END to 9, to use the book and raise it above 10. +1 from the endurance bobblehead +2 from the Sea Captain's Hat. +1 from the Green shirt and combat boots +1 from the Champion left arm +2 from the Solar Powered perk. Only works outdoors during the day, though. +3 from bufftats or psychobuff. These last for 8 minutes, but with the right perks and armor can last much longer.

Downloaded my first mod. A desert eagle pistol mod. The gun is invisible and has no sound  Well this whole mod thing was a nice run. I did a search for "console" in the in-game mod search thingy and oddly enough I did not find a single mod that turns the console in survival. I would imagine that to be a very popular mod (Found one on nexus anyway) How are companions in power armour? Do they still break it like it was tin foil?

Don't leave any water in your workbench or it probably won't show up. Sleeping and waiting in a chair don't cause the water to appear, you have to actually spend time playing the game. It may be that you need to leave the area and come back as well, I'm not sure.
