Just want to say that the stuff the Super Mutants say is hilarious.

Find a modded weapon? Like say a nice muzzle you want on a gun? Set it to Standard Muzzle (No muzzle), it saves the muzzle and you can use it on another weapon of the same type you already have. Same goes for armor. If your metal right arm is "lightweight" you can take that mod off and throw it on another metal arm piece of the same type.
Also the fact that the game doesn't bother making this obvious is weird as shit, I didn't learn about this till I accidentally found out like 6 hours in. It's super helpful for cobbling up a super weapon from the getgo since you find small mods on almost every weapon out there.
Do you still need the materials to add it, or can you just freely attach it to something else?
Does scrapping pull the mods off, or should I set it to standard first?
you bet. Also.. i saw you in Black Ops 3.
Those things are terrifying.

Has anyone made a compilation of which vendors have which shipments?
I know that for light weight items the two biggest pains in the ass are cork and fiberglass. Cork you can buy a shipment of 25 at the baseball dude vendor in Diamond City. Fiberglass I don't know who would sell it but it sounds like an item a trader might have.

Nope no materials neded. Sometimes you need materials to set the gun your stealing from back to "Standard" but otherwise when you take the mod off, it goes into your inventory. So you take the scope off one gun you found by setting it to standard scope, and add it to the gun you actually use. Instead of it saying "MAKE MOD" it will just say "ATTACH" and add from your inventory.
I will say one thing I don't like is "small guns" (or just general "guns" from NV) being gone and having to add perks to pistols/rifles individually. Feels like I'm adding too many points for what should just basically be one skill from previous games. I'd like to be proficient in both but doing so costs a shitload vs putting utility into something else.
Looks cool.. but dude... that GIF is 56 megabytes.

So if I find a weapon with the best mod (gun nut 3 required to build) and i take it off I can put it on another gun without gun nut 3?

Another tip on mods- unused mods stay in your inventory and take up weight. Dump them in your workbench.
Yep.

A really helpful mod for modding (heh) would be the ability to scrap a gun not for its components, but for its mods. The whole process of having to make a standard version to replace a good mod is kind of ridiculous.

Yup!
I have gun nut 1 and found a silencer, which is like 3 iirc?
Threw it on just hours into the game.
The game will specifically tell you when you're about to turn on another faction.

Why is it that every time something like this happens, it's that asshole? This is hilarious. I feel like there should be a sitcom about all the dumb shit Preston does when you leave him at Sanctuary.
I heard that if you let 48 in-game hours pass, everyone will cool off.

dang thats stupid. (for my build at least) Makes gun nut kind of pointless. Oh well I am not having too much trouble killing people on survival with my upgraded weapons.
I tend to float between different styles of play to keep things fresh. I'll spend time exploring, or questing, or settlement building, or loot grinding for settlement building. But there have been times where I'm out and about and I see something I wanna delve into so I fast travel back and grab the armor. Or I'll recon the area, try to kill something and if it dies easy enough, I just move in.
I've had companions fall through the floor at times in power armor.
Like they just disappear for the rest of the map.
Yeah I had the same gripe after I put 1 to Gun Nut since now when I find a weapon I just scavenge off it instead.
It does help in a way since you don't have to rely on luck, but I mean guns and mods are so plentiful after a certain point that I already have all my pistols modded with stuff that requires Gun Nut 3 without even trying.

I'm rushing through the main quest and about 16+ hours in how close am I to the end?
I am doing this because back when morrowind/oblivion came out I spent more time messing around with mods and restarting than I did playing the game. So fallout 3 nv and Skyrim I make sure to beat once before I screw around a lot or play with mods.
just found out Shawn is dying and got some reactor part from the mass fusion building

He just runs round with the helmet light on now. Even trying to talk to him does nothing.
Yeah, they really should have added a "disassemble" button that just separates the gun into its parts.
Fuck yeah it would.
I've had moments where it's like Oh I really want this scope but I don't have enough glue to set it back to standard, damnit.

So it finally got to a point where I could cycle through the options on the main menu, but when I go to continue, it tells me "Save Obsolete". What in the actual fuck does this mean, GAF? Can't find shit about it on Google.

Here is the best I have found:

I just got there.... had to stop playing. But i am thrilled to see what surprises await in there.
except you get exp everytime you go from OP gun to standard gun
Side note, have cogsworth be your partner when you mod.
You gain favor with him every time you mod something.

Sorry. Dre posted a bunch yesterday in one post and no one complained so I thought it'd be fine to post just one.

That sucks you got a bug like that, but the scenario itself sounds worse.
Think about losing all power in some remote cave, no one to help and you don't have any option but to just slowly starve / run out of oxygen.
Well, I got claustrophobic now.

Speaking of that how do you see their "favor" like how do I know if I am there best friend or whatever to get the perk

Quick small question... regarding the BoS stuff.
Are the side-missions from the scribe/other guy infinite or is there an end game to them? The text makes it seems like they randomly generate quests all the time.
spoiler thread is too slow, has anyone finished the game or at least gone to the? I need to vent fast, someone vent with me please! PM meinstitute

First thing I did after discovering it.
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
They will go on forever and have no story bearing.
COGSWORTH LIKED THAT
In the top left. I have no idea how to get them to like you, but I've modded so much that cogsworth loves the fuck out of me somehow. I have 0 clue as to how to gauge their favor.
Also fuck carry weight, just modded to remove it. I don't have time to unload shit constantly.
Yes you do. I save A LOT! Every time i see something interesting. I save first.

The quicksave is your friend! Abuse the ever loving shit out of it. Plus, this is an open world Bethesda game. You should have at least 5 different save slots along with a manual save every half hour or so.

haha I know I see that or Piper HATES it when I steal and I dont care! but there are perks you can unlock if they like you and I am guessing achievements. I just want to know WHEN i unlock these.
Oh didn't know that. Hmm.. Cogsworth gives me purified water every time I talk to him, is that a perk, I have like 90 now. How can you tell?

I believe they have to admire you and if they have a quest finish the quest. The pop up for rep gain will say "X admires you" instead of "X liked that."
