Just had my first crash. No messages or drops in performance, it just crashed to desktop.

 

[Rizzo]

Sorry to bump myself but I still need help

Check this out.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

This is why you get bloody mess.

in 3 and New Vegas I always choose the bloody mess perk so I had to do it this time. It's just so satisfying.

Any chance they happened in the Goodneighbor

? Only times my game crashed and it was 4 times in the same building. Still don't know what the problem there was

I think you need more defense. See if adding more turrets helps.

Each settlement needs its own stuff, those places need more defence.

Although I'm at a point where I'm not getting it, my main hub only has 6 people after tons of hours hoping it would grow over time. Settlement doesn't need anything either, feels bad.

I think I know what I am doing wrong. Although I did place turrets at the Sanctuary and guard posts, I did not assign anyone to those posts. Because two of them are busy making food and I don't believe I can have Sturges assigned to something. The grandma doesn't do anything. So far the only settlers there are those from the Museum. As for the farm. Do I need to place turrets and guard posts there as well?

 

[DJ Lushious]

Try adding the standard mod back on it. The other mod should go to your inventory.

Yeah, then I am tasked with building the standard mod. I know there's a way, because I accidentally got a mod or two, but I'll be damned if I know how.

 

[Elitist1945]

Just started base building and such and man is it fun! Really didn't think I'd like this game so much since I found Fallout 3 to be boring.

 

[Draper]

When you store non-junk items like guns in the workshop, are they also scrapped for parts?

 

[Blue Ninja]

I'm 48 hours in and I just discovered Goodneighbour. Jesus fucking christ, this game.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Might make Red Rocket my personal little settlement, and leave Sanctuary to everyone else

 

[smokeandmirrors]

also how do people get the info above enemies like their level and stuff?

 

[TsunamiOfSwagger]

Adding to this, one of my turrets got damaged by a raider, but I have no idea which one. Any way of checking?

 

[rdytoroll]

Wait what, is this possible?

 

[bati]

Is there any downside to (faction quest)

taking the castle for the for the Minutemen early on, when you only got about 3 undeveloped outposts

?

If they aren't moving it might be down, you can also go up to every turret and if it needs repair hitting the action button (X on ps4) will bring up a dialogue box that says "requires these mats to repair"

 

[Salty Catfish]

Awareness, yo. It shows you level and weaknesses. Super handy and easy to get.

Nope, that's when I did it.

Just a heads up, it's hard as hell.

No, weapons and armor are safe. You can personally scrap them on an Armor and Weapons workbench.

 

[StarlordDial]

This is weird, i currently have problems with giving power to my lights inside the house i build, seems i need an actual generator and pylon that is close to them to power them on ?

How do i go about giving power around my house so i can power stuff inside without cluttering my outside area with pylons and generators ?

 

[Apathy]

I'm gonna hope for a mod on the consoles that just keeps track of your current/max weight in the corner at all times

 

[Milennia]

i just walked into a sinkhole and randomly decided to VATS to see if there were any enemies around that i wasnt seeing.... there was a legendary deathclaw right next to me... i had it at a sliver of health and was walking backwards running away from its melee attacks and stepped into a hole in the ground that turned out to be an area and fell down said hole, zoning me.



im so fucking pissed right now



\this game is amazing.

 

[weshes195]

Hey, I have a question about people attacking settlements. I think it has happened only once with just 1 raider against Sanctuary in like the first 3 hours... but that is it.

I am now over a day in this game and no one else has attacked my 7 or so settlements... I guess it is good, but I want some my defenses to be put to use!!! I HAVE seen some enemies attack my supply line people but that is it.

How do I know if they are attacking my places?

 

[danowat]

Yeah, so the

I put my generators on the roofs.

 

[Kadey]

How do you use stuff on your companions? Trying to heal my dog.

You don't need to heal them, they can't die.

 

[AlexMogil]

If I don't find a new vocal music station from the Diamond City one, I'm going to LOSE IT

You ain't kiddin. I was sick of these songs 6 years ago.

 

[Rhaknar]

anyone know how to get to the top of the raider base Libertalia? I killed a boss up there but I cant find a way to get to the roof of this thing :/

its the one to the east in the water, made of makeshify boats and shit

edit: nvm, I skyrim'ed my way up there and there was a hatch in the captains cabin to get there, im just blind >_>

 

[Royal_Phalanx]

Upped the difficulty to hard, game feels as tough as it was in early levels. Trying to keep my guns on par with the harder and harder enemies that I'm facing. Got rekt by an Assaultron and Mister Gutsy repeatedly at one point.

 

[Draper]

No, weapons and armor are safe. You can personally scrap them on an Armor and Weapons workbench.

Thanks! Two more, probably dumb, questions- can settlers access the guns in the workshop and also, do I need the guns on hand to scrap them or can they remain within the workshop?

Can't remember what they're called but there's little node looking things that act as power conduits so you'd run a wire from either the generator or a pylon (that's powered) to the node and the node will carry power up to 2 walls worth of distance away. You can then hang lights anywhere and they'll automatically light as long as they're within two walls distance from the node

 

[hydruxo]

How do you use stuff on your companions? Trying to heal my dog.

They regen health on their own, no need to use stimpaks.

 

[BraXzy]

Am I going crazy or is the music from this Suzuki ad used in something Fallout related? I keep hearing it on TV and expecting a F4 trailer but it's this.

https://www.facebook.com/suzukicarsuk/videos/901206083248644/?video_source=pages_finch_main_video

Why am I makin' that connection? :L

 

[Maybesew]

I asked before but didn't see a response. Is there a good source of shotgun shells somewhere? None of the ammo vendors seem to sell any.

 

[Salty Catfish]

If you haven't yet checked out Spectacle Island (the island in the SE corner of the map), you probably should. It has

Spoiler

the luck bobblehead, a radio antenna that makes all mirelurks on the island docile, AND the entire thing is a settlement once you activate said antenna

. I made the swim from the Castle using a hazmat suit.

 

[Tatsumi Oga]

So, close to Lexington I found this Power Armor in a cave. It's mine now, but what is best to do with it? Use it and enter Lexington with it and kill baddies or should I save it for later? Best to keep them for the bigger fights right? I now have three of them.

You'll get a notice in the upper right corner telling you to help defend whatever settlement it is. They're timed so if you don't respond within a certain amount of time (I'm not sure how long I just know I missed one and had to repair a bunch of shit and wait an hour before all my settlers returned) you'll have a bunch of repairs to do and fail the "quest"

 

[Afro]

quick question, what exactly do i need to power on this light i just attached to wall? thanks!

edit: found it, I think.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

oh cool. I should get that then

Right. I will try that.

 

[Vex_]

I am terrible at this game. Can't aim for shit and miss critical, lol.

hmmm. I wasnt aware m/kb users struggled with he same things a controller user would struggle with... This is an... interesting development.

 

[Milennia]

OK there was a magazine down there so i'm now less pissed, also i went back up there and he was dead and dropped an insane rapid hunting rifle unique.


Thank you game.

 

[Onikaan]

Guys, what do I do with all the mods in my inventory? They're already on my guns so... Can I store them?

 

[Deku Tree]

I've never played a FO game before... And I'm having trouble getting a sense of what the gameplay feels like from watching and reading reviews... Can someone describe for me what the gameplay in FO4 is like? Thanks in advance!

 

[Salty Catfish]

You can store them or sell them. Old mods occasionally come in handy if you find a gun with one specific mod you want to transfer to one of your main guns, since you have to replace it with something to move it to a different gun.

So how do I transfer a mod? I always seem to end up making a new one...

 

[captjohnboyd]

I've only been able to check this thread sporadically cause I've been busy with work or actually playing Fallout but man, it really does seem like we need a separate settlement thread don't we? I read it suggested several times earlier in the thread and just these last couple pages it seems to be dominating the convo. As I have no thread starting privileges I'm obviously not the one but I hope someone gets on that. I'd be glad to help provide info or tips if anyone does decide to set one up although by the looks of some of these other settlements in here I'm far from the expert they are lol

 

[Blitzrules240]

Don't know if my quest is glitched but it's the eliminate feral ghouls for Cross County quest and I'm at a door marked Barracks but it has a master terminal rank and I'm nowhere close to master level. I thought it said eliminate them in the courtyard but the courtyard has been cleared out. Hmmm.

Have you played Skyrim?

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

I feel dumb for not taking idiot savant sooner. I'm level 21 and just dropped two points into it before turning in a quest just for shits and giggles and I got 1200 xp. I planned on just resetting the save but I think I'll keep it now.
