CaptainSarcastic posted:The glitch where the map shows double the actual amount of settlers in a town, with a corresponding hit to happiness, still seems to be occurring but a little less often. Yesterday I noticed that Covenant suddenly claimed to have 58 settlers and had already dropped a good 10 points of happiness. Now every time I fast travel I try to check a few settlements just to watch for the stupid glitch. If you're on PC you can get mods that add craftable dogs and Brahmin (and cats and gorillas).

Big Bug Hug posted:If you're on PC you can get mods that add craftable dogs and Brahmin (and cats and gorillas). Yeah, I'm on PC - I lost my patience and used the console to add a dog to some of my settlements, but when I used it to spawn a Brahmin the thing wasn't assignable. I probably just need to look up the proper command for it. I'm avoiding mods due to them reportedly making the game more crash-prone. Just using the console for a few things has been more than sufficient.

I'm also roaming around to harvest wild mutfruit in order to swamp my settlements with synth gorillas. I already have a couple in Sanctuary and it looks like they tend to hang out with each other.

Little thing I noticed in the trailer, the poster that says 'Welcome to Far Harbor', the F is a B that has been damaged over the years. So they're not just referencing Bar Harbor, it is Bar Harbor.

DAS Super! posted:Anyone make thier kitten farm yet? I have at least eight cats in Sanctuary, with bowls to attract them to certain areas. There might be a cap on how much they can raise a settlement's happiness, but they're doing a good job so far. I'm now limted only by my lack of Softshell-type mirelurk meat.

I should do a cat census on my settlements. I eventually realized that the Automatron dog cages can also attract junkyard dogs, so that largely addressed my difficulties with getting sufficient dogs for settlements. I have a shitload of gorillas roaming around, too, but I have noticed they tend to cause more glitches than other animals. They get stuck on scenery and start to have seizures, basically, making a terrible noise and dropping the FPS of the game if you are too close to it. I've noticed that sound seems to have an impact on how well my game runs - too many noisy things in a small area and performance drops significantly. Scrapping generators and turrets around my workbench in Sanctuary made the game run better there. Also more detailed light sources like the construction lights seem to impact performance. The lighting when you fast travel into Goodneighbor is similar in how it looks, and has a similar impact on my performance. Once I get out of the lighting of the courtyard everything speeds back up and runs smoother.

I've restarted playing from the beginning on survival and its much better than I thought. Sneak is a must have trait, and Ive gone from carrying 5-6 guns to only two with the ammo of that type. It really makes the game better.

I'm thinking Lone Wanderer probably makes Survival difficulty a lot less of a pain in the rear end, too. Massive boost to carrying capacity, defense boost and a late-game universal damage boost all in one perk tree.

Yeah I took the first level of lone wanderer just to get me through establishing a settlement or three, which will be a rough adjustment once I go to arcjet for my first companion jaunt. I'll have to give up at least 2 of my guns and half my ammo

Yeah Lone Wanderer + pocketed armour mods are a lifesaver. I went from 130 or so carry weight right up to 215 or so + 30 for dogmeat. You could also just have codsworth as a follower because his little jetbutt can still carry mountains of junk. He's noisy as gently caress too so it's funny to send him into a ghoul-infested building as bait.

And if you get into robot crafting, robots can get pocketed armor for more carrying capacity too. Plus that perk that lets companions carry more junk for you. I think Survival is too tough for me, though. It's me, I'm the Fallout wimp.

That's a good story. On another note, when is Survival Mode coming to consoles? I need it for reasons. Not being able to carry everything that isn't nailed down and being cautious is the best way to play Fallout.

It raises an interesting point -- there aren't any tribals in FO4. I guess it's long enough after the apocalypse that they've been absorbed or advanced, though I guess you might argue that the Atom cultists and maybe the Diamond City reverence for the Wall have that spirit, though that latter is pretty weak tea.

You can build the cages just fine beforehand, but without the Beta Wave Emitter the monsters will just be hostile to everything on release. Still useful if you need specific enemy materials to farm. I've seen one guy build a slaughterhouse full of Gunner cages and unleashing them periodically to hock all their gear after killing them. Make sure you only have one type of monster per settlement because they tend to go nuts and kill each other on sight otherwise. Also, the game doesn't warn you about this, but keeping a caged monster of a type for a while will incite an attack by a bunch of monsters of that type. I had a mirelurk cage for a while in the drive-in and one day it became swarmed with crabs from hell.

sitchelin posted:Fuuuuuuuuuuck that. I need to have all of the everything. I am a pack rat. Yeah, me too. But being forced to think about what to take or not take with me is a pleasant challenge. Plus, no bullet-sponges! Survival Mode apparently came out on all consoles at once. I really should have booted it up or looked online but I was cleaning up on another game. Now, I know it was answered many, many pages back, but what was the tip for scavenging only the best items? Do something with (temporarily remove?) all wood, steel and... something and then mark every item in the Workshop to flag materials when you put your reticle over them? I get the feeling this will become very important in Survival Mode.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:Yeah, me too. But being forced to think about what to take or not take with me is a pleasant challenge. Plus, no bullet-sponges! The easiest way to tag things is putting a bunch of junk in your inventory, going into the junk page on your pip boy, and then pressing L1 or whatever button is labeled for component view. From there, you can tag and untag different materials. Screws, gears, aluminum, fiberglass, adhesive, nuclear material, ballistic fiber, and springs are all things I keep tagged. I'm sure there's a few more but that's the majority of them off the top of my head. edit: fiber optics, oil, copper, and circuitry are the others. i also keep ceramic tagged for a while, but with coffee cups loving everywhere you can build up a huge stockpile of them really quickly.

I'm gonna try Survival Mode again. Definitely going in heavy with the Endurance perks, though. Since everything makes you die I want to have a million ways to recover from injury. Seeing how effective Tier 3 Ghoulish is at making some ghouls not want to kill you should also be interesting. (I long for the days when Animal Friend just made *all* animals not want to kill you...)
