There was a spreadsheet made by a couple of the older mod makers, and Fallout 4 build guide makers. It showed that around 250ish defense on a settlement meant you would really have to go overboard on water and food, before you would be attacked, the very basic defense number was shown to be 2x the food and water added together, any less and you might as well not go exploring very far.
@jcohasset234 ай бұрын
A defense number that's higher than 2x food and water together just makes for a base 2% chance of being attacked. Without mods there is no way to completely negate the chance of being attacked. It feels like there is a bit of a random variable on how well settlements do without the player present- I've had settlements fail to defend that have over 100 defense and others that succeed even with 0 defense while still having food and water.

For settlements, the "best" crops to plant, IMO, are an equal number of corn, tato, and mutfruit. Your settlers don't care, and you might just like variety, but this combination, along with excess purified water from your purifiers, can be crafted to create vegetable starch, a source of adhesive. Adhesive is a rare crafting material that is needed for EVERY weapon and armor mod in the game. Plant multiples of three, since the recipe needs three of each.

These settlement videos are always fun to see even if most times I just make a multistory open-air bunkhouse using the wood structures building kit. The exact design can vary depending on what settlement it's at and some of them I'm just not a fan of trying to build at. The biggest problem is typically when I have a lot of enthusiasm in building is early in a new run when ample resources are hard to come by or I don't yet have the perk to build a particular thing/haven't initiated a DLC yet. One of my most challenging attempts (but was oddly a lot of fun) was doing a run with 1 charisma and intelligence.

@TheImageryGuy3 ай бұрын
Settlers tend to get upset/lose happiness if there are too many raids/attacked by raiders, so make sure you keep defense higher than any resources produced at that settlement. For example, say you have one settlement making 100 purified water for the rest of your settlements, make sure that settlement has over 100 defense and all the settlers there have weapons, grenades, a stimpak, melee weapon, and some sort of armor upgrades. Also, a bed with a roof over their head, enough water and food affect happiness. Oh, and make sure to remove all the dirty water and purified water from the workbench/system storage if the surplus purified water (100 - 20, so 80) is not showing up. At the moment, each purified water sells for 20 caps, so selling 1000 purified water earns a significant profit of 20k caps. Problem is, most traders do not have 20k caps available, so you may want to sell of smaller amounts regularly; also, trying to carry 1k purified water (each weighs .5 pounds/lbs) would be 500 pounds and slow you down in normal play or possibly insta-kill you in survival mode. Once you get 6 charisma and the local leader perk, add supply lines between settlements. Supply lines require a settler assigned to that role, so make sure you either use settlers from an overpopulated settlement or recruit more settlers at remote settlements and use those extra settlers to connect that settlement to that 'central hub' settlement to access all the resources of all the connected settlements. If you are playing survival mode, healing by drinking water works, until it doesn't. To fix that glitch, store the water pump, then place it again. I have started to just store and place the water pump after each time I use the water pump to heal. One of the easiest methods to supply your character with food and water (especially in survival mode) is noodle cup, which is crafted with dirty water and razorgrain. Once you get around 10 razorgrain planted, you only have to loot the dirty water or find bottles and fill them. Sourcing the bottles for the dirty water is the limiting factor, but all of these can be filled with water from any river/water source: empty milk bottle, (large) wine/alcohol of various types (bourbon, whiskey, burgundy, vodka, etc) bottles, beer bottles, large baby bottle, brown bottle, liquor bottle, white bottle, and nuka-cola bottle. Ballistic weave is unlocked by completing Underground Railroad missions for P.A.M., then talk to Tinker Tom to unlock ballistic weave mods at armor workbenches. Settlers with ballistic weave upgraded clothing are more survivable; up to 110 damage & energy resistance on clothing is possible. Due to limited resources (ballistic fiber and fiberglass), I generally only add ballistic weave to companions. If you want them to be able to wear glasses and other armor items, I suggest add upgrades to your favorite item that has free armor slots and + stats like Minuteman Outfit (+1 perception, +1 agility), then hat, dress, pants, etc, so you can still equip other armor, glasses/goggles, etc. There are other plenty of clothing options here, so go with what works with your build/playstyle. fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistic_weave

Shot at T. Howard and P. Garvey. Nice. This player has stumbled upon a method of building lighthouses truly beyond reproach: Only concrete set externally. The curved corners and one long concrete wall running the sides. Sink the first layer half-way then add a second. Build a floor, and indent by two column widths (same curved corners, but now with one-half wall and two columns running each side). Build seven layers of this. Extend back out to the same width as the foundation, and place your curved corners. But now make windows with the concrete columns in the following tricky way: temporarily snap to the curved corner walls a half-wall and snap a column centrally atop it, before snapping more columns to it the whole way along the side. Delete the half-size wall. Snap columns to the curved corners along the first layer too. The goal now is to merge the two layers of columns such that you have half a column width between each column. This top area must be two layers. Then simply build a roof and an interior scaffold staircase, furnish the top, light, and create a decorative elevated entry gantry by the concrete wall entry door, and pow -- that is one fine looking lighthouse! Note: white lights look the best. Also, a helipad is a fantastic addition when connected two-thirds of the way up the structure. But that belongs to another story.

I have no idea how people find the time to put so much effort into settlements. All I tend to do is secure the perimeter, plant one type of crop at each location, get them water, set up a recruitment beacon, build a basic 2 story building filled with beds, set up a supply line from it to the nearest settlement and walk away until it has around 10 settlers, then switch off the recruitment beacon. I throw all spare weapons, aid, Armor, junk etc into the workshop so I can use it at any location and that’s it. Sanctuary Hills is the only one I put any effort into, as I treat that as my main location for Power Armor displays so I have all of my Power Armor ready at any time and I find that time consuming enough!

Least favorite settlement glitch? The one where you visit a settlement and leave only to discover they've forgotten they have food, water, beds, & defense. This is a major pain in the behind in survival mode, since you can't just fast travel there and slap them around until they act right. The best work-around I've found is a vertibird ride over any such settlements. Opening the workshop tab in the Pip-Boy while you're flying overhead usually resets the counters to represent their true values and stops happiness from dropping any further. Sorry for the double comment.

Hey, for something that might look like a shower, use a C shaped Conduit pipe and fit it on a well. Viola, something that looks like a showerbhead.

The "next-gen update" dropped and I am revisiting F4 to do something I never really had done: a full melee-only run. Gonna try and put some of these tips to use, thanks for the video! 😎

You can use WASD to navigate the workshop build menu if you hold down Shift. Literally discovered this yesterday lol
