Building is overwhelming, I dont know where to start. Walls around a settlement or start with a house and go from there? Start with the floor or walls? Help
Build a skyscraper, make everyone go inside, and remove the door.

I'm starting to see no real use for walls. Especially if you can keep your defense above any resource production as you likely won't have many raids. Walls kill your settlement size. It can be fun but really a few guard posts and turrets will probably be fine.

Which perk let's you fast travel while over encumbered?

Then nuke it.
Hey ready to hate them more. They are overused, and in certain areas you just get wave after wave of them. Supermutants are the same.
Strong Back in STR
When it's maxed out at 4

Does it require Strength 10?

Strong back is 5 or 6 strength I think.
And then when you do establish a settlement, you'll find another place that's even cooler and move there.
At least that's my problem
nah I finished it, I have all locations available, thats not an issue
Ive finished the game, I want to play legos, not play "whats useful"

Requirements don't increase with perk level? I haven't been paying attention.
Attribute requirements stay the same, level requirements increase.
Just 6 STR, and the level requirements for each level is 1,10,20,30. The one you want you can get at the earliest at 30

Yep, 40 hours in and I've built maybe five things (there is one late game thing you have to build to advance the plot, but it's simple). You can skip it entirely.

WOW! I was near the bookstore, looking for the freedom trail when a chopper crashed right in front of me into a huge explosion, lighting up the little street as if it were daytime. It surprised me so much I had to stop for a while...

If you got access to the vertibird grenades, you dont need to invest in the perk.

Ahh yes. I thought that those grenades were for doing chopper assaults. I called one in when capturing a satellite array full of super mutants. So it landed and I was like "you dead now fuckers". Then I hopped on and was like "lets go!" It just sat there and I got blowed up.

I wouldn't bother with walls, I did that for a few of them and it looks bad and is more of a pain in the ass than a help, enemies still get in regardless it seems and it's difficult to get in and out without fast travel.

it keeps going after the main story ends. The true ending is when you have to side with one faction over the others. You can still keep playing after that though too. So you dont get locked out of content until you side with one of the factions.
Great, it's absolutely pointless to me and I don't see any reason why it's in a game like Falloiut outside of prolonging the game's replayability.

How exactly does the Power Armor work? I have it in Sanctuary. If I want to use it somewhere do I need to get enough Fusion Cores to take it all the way there, use it and get it back?
LookAtMeGo

Well thats the whole point, innit?
Like, you get to build towns and make money and populate with people and defend it from attacks and stuff. What other purpose would it serve?

Then go for it. Why the hell did you bother asking if that's all you want? Forgive me for providing some advice, by the way.

Game changer.
But seriously, expect to see crap like this until the creation kit is out.
Contains endgame spoilers:
Is getting to the Institute and speaking with Father actually the "ending"? I'm right before the Battle of Bunker Hill and just juggling all the factions for now.

Endgame spoilers
yeah. I stopped at bunker hill as well. I read somewhere that its that mission where you have to choose which faction to side with. I think you might get locked out of some faction missions after that. Im not even 100% sure if that was the ending after you meet Father.
I'm actually torn to who to support in the main quest.
I actually really like the Institute, I mean the physical thing. I would live there in a heartbeat. I love "sterile, clean and purposeful" living compartments. Robots everywhere to serve me doesn't sound too bad either. And the character I play would be the runner boy on the wasteland every now and then. Sounds like a cool job.
It seems the Railroad is the truly fucked up here. The Institute doesn't take people and replaces them, that is the sole work of the Railroad, who imprints the Synths with artificial memories and places them into our midst, because they believe they are equal to humans. The Institute doesn't even send the Synth into the wasteland, that is also a Railroad supporter within the Institute. It's a good cause done badly, but it seems to me they value synths over actual humans.
The Brotherhood wants to destroy the Synth altogether, which I think would be also a good option, but they want to go a step too far and destroy the institute and everything else that seems like technology and want to keep that to themselves.
I still have to answer what the ultimate goal of "Mankind - Redefined" is. I mean do they want to create a new robo-human species or what? Otherwise, why do they have to look like humans? I don't get it. Why not make them look like Gen 1 models or something. That shouldn't impact their performance the slightest.

He was working for the Institute and knows how to access the Institute base.
Yes. Just don't sprint, that's the main energy drain. 1 core should be easily enough for a mission without sprinting.
You can fast travel with it, if you've discovered the location earlier obviously.
The PA uses Cores, and will automatically switch to a new one if it's empty. Running and jumping drains the Core pretty fast. Just walking in it doesn't.
whats everyone's deal with the brotherhood? It's almost becoming a meme with how much they're hated.

i think we are safe to do the bunker hill mission but I think its pretty damn close after that. Decisions will have to be made about alliances. So i think I will finish bunker hill tonight and then continue to do as many faction missions as I can before deciding.

You're wrong about one thing.
The Institute has been replacing people with synths. That's not the Railroad's doing, the Railroad manufactures new memories for the escapees. The Institute sees the people on the surface as worthless savages they can replace and destroy whenever they see fit. They're not 'the good guys', not by a long shot.
I went with the Broterhood. No ragrets.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
I'm going with the
Institute simply because I don't see nothing wrong with them using their own creations as they please A.I. or not and because I also sided with them on that Side Quest in Fallout 3
BoS from this coast can screw off thou simply because I was forced to Side with them in Fallout 3

It's an AAA crossplat game that will support modding on consoles. I think the reason is pretty clear. That said it's really easy to minmax so it's just a matter of being diligent with material collecting and, for the sake of saving time, opening supply lines.

LOL, that was totally not what it was intended for.
You get in, and then you go to the map and select the fast travel, but instead of just teleporting there, the helicopter flys you there, and you can shoot shit on the way there.
It's pretty much a scenic fast travel. I use it when ive picked up too much shit and need to fast travel back because I dont like to drop shit.
About the Institute & Railroad:
I didn't get the impression the Railroad was responsible for replacing people with synths, but maybe I missed something? There's a file on one of the Institute terminals with a list of synths who have replaced various people, so I assumed it was actually the Institute doing that. The Railroad seems mostly ok morally, except for being cavalier about killing people who get in their way, but all the factions seem very "ends justify the means".

i now have a rank 3 Scrounger perk because my overseer's guardian has like 30 shots and unfortunately that's my best weapon so far, Fallout 4 seems way too stingy with the ammo compared to 3.

Thats pretty cool. I could have used that a few times. When Im overencumbered I always just end up throwing back a buffout then fast travelling to my base and slowly walking the rest of the way to my workbench to unload. The vertabird sounds more fun.
