Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
Man I'm so lost with the loot/craft system. Can anyone share some basics? I don't know how to upgrade or what to do with most of the stuff I find.
What do you want to know?
Basics are, all junk you collect should be sent to a workbench using transfer junk option in the workbench menu.
Workbench items are shared across the same settlement, but not across other settlements, you need a perk and a supply line set up for that.
For crafting you will see the required materials, if you want these materials highlighted in the world (by a magnifying glass) click tag for search, this will show if each piece of junk contains a required material.

How does Power Armor work? If it get damaged enough does it fall off or go into my inventory?
goes into your inv as a 0 weight item.

What's people's personal organisation strategies?
I am slowly going insane trying to stay on top of my junk misc apparel plus the crafting etc
Can you disassemble all the junk into the 12 or so component resources or you have to sort through endless lists of randomness to pull junk for crafting?
Do you store stuff in the crafting tables or in boxes?
Do you focus on one best weapon per ammo type and scrap the rest or just collect everything hoping to make sense of it later?
Ps: Anyone find the stun baton is OP? you can run around sentry bots or bosses, wailing on them keeping them almost in stun Lock due to the electric shock, it's ludicrous.

I've encountered two of those monkeys in other places, but I can't pick them up?

Started running around with her over the weekend. She is pretty awesome so far.
I'm jealous even though I love my .45 machine gun with splash explosive damage on bullet impact and 100 magazines

Silver Shroud quest is ridiculous and endless.
I wish this game had more elaborate quests than "fetch that" and "kill that"
What? That quest is relatively short.

I finally finished the main plot last night and my x5 Idiot Savant procced upon completion. Ended up with something insane like 18,000 exp that got me from level 57 to 62 in one go. It was amazing.
The best place for crafting is probably Sanctuary Hills since it already has an armor and weapons table. Using one of these will bring up the upgrade menu which will show you the requirements in both scrap and perks to build each weapon mod. For instance, you might need some adhesive, some aluminum, and have Gun Nut at level two to build a longer barrel. If you don't have enough of a given material, the game will let you "tag" the materials you need which will add a magnifying glass next to them out in the field for easier identification.

Ok, that clear some things up, Thanks.
Also, about upgrading weapons and armos. I should just dismantle all the ones I won't use?
So, i decided to cripple myself in order to make things a little more challenging. Or at least interesting. Stored my heavy combat armor set and all my OP weapons.
My armor now is a black retextured vault suit, black knit cap and some leather add ons.
I have on foot weapons to the right. Silenced 10mm gun and a silenced .50 sniper. And to the left i have power armor weapons. Sledge hammer, gauss rifle and minigun. And i'll stick to this loadout. No minigun while on foot.
Might as well store most of my 50 fusion cores. A mod that adds weight to fusion cores would be nice.

National Guard Armory?
Her backstory is pretty badass/heartbreaking. Was not expecting the punch to the feels.
Thats the one I got.
Yes, but I'd store them till you get the scavenger perk.

If you think that is long, don't attempt Valentines personal quest.

Some you can pick up, some you can't. I'm trying to find all the ones you can collect. Must display them at my Settlement
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Jangles_the_Moon_Monkey_(item)
Not sure if that lists all the ones you can AND can't pick up or just the ones you can pick up.

I went there at level ~30 and there was an incomplete set of
X-01 Enclave Armor
If you want to check another possible spot for a static drop of that armor,
head south, past the school in the marshes. Change your bearing to the west slightly upon reaching the school. There's a crashed Vertibird I'm pretty sure is Enclave, also found an X-01 set there. Helmet, Torso and Left Leg
The quest for the Right Leg continues, been looking for it for at least 12 hours now. Dunno when I'll get it though: started a new Very Hard playthrough with an Agility, Charisma and Perception woman since the game got too easy on Normal after I reached level 40 with a well rounded character. Intelligence perks, mostly, Armorer, Gun Nut, Science, Hacking... That sort of stuff.
And I feel like simply changing the difficulty now that I have top level gear is kinda cheating.
Ahhh......so it's possible that the armour was incomplete when I picked it up then?
Roni

Most definitely.

I, too, am missing the right X-01 leg and have been for about a week now. Found multiples of every other part except that one and it's annoying the hell out of me how the X-01's silky smoothness clashes with the other more metallic models. Where the fuck is it?
Roni
Member
Beats me, man... Beats me. That thing is fucking elusive. Though I think getting the arms to go with the torso is the most important thing for visual harmony.
I only noticed this playing Fallout 4, but I think the X-01 design is based on the Mirelurk carapace, it being developed post-Fallout and all. Pretty neat lore nugget if true.

Well first it's a fetch quest which alone takes some time to do, then it's 5 or 6 kill quests and then he gets taken and again i have to travel to kill some more. I don't mind long quests, but when it's just a string of low effort killing and fetching, it gets boring.
Is it at least more interesting ? Or is it just the same low effort trash.

I am about at 2.5 days played and I think I am all out of non-repeatable quests except
welp guess its time to choose a side
Molecular Level and Freedom Trail (which I assume are the same quest essentially)

Is he fighting with some Brotherhood dudes? That happened to me too so I just killed them and I was able to talk to him. There were no repercussions re: working with the Brotherhood.
Sweet! Sounds good!

Been playing for 90 hours or so and I'm still level 30.

There's an uncomfortable amount of ending/story discussions here, that makes this thread a bit difficult to navigate for those of us who are still a long way from beating the game. Can't we keep that discussion in the designated spoiler thread?

I just realized something. Everyone's finish the main quest and finding sweet Power Armor and here I am fucking OCDing over Jangles The Moon Monkey collectibles .
Why are you collecting Jangles? Just for fun? I pick them up in the world because they have a lot of crafting components.
Roni
Member
Those are not exactly mutually exclusive, you can find the best armor in the game without getting past the second story mission in the game.

I just made it there as well last night. Crazy how there are landmarks like a mile outside the zone border..I keep thinking, when is the game going to put up an invisible wall and they never do.

Someone said there was too many spoilers in the spoiler thread lol
Yes. You read that right. I guess they mean it's hard for people almost at the end but don't know the ending yet.
I think as long as people don't post just spoiler tags, at least say [ENDGAME SPOILER] before the tags.
