It amazes me that there is still a place like this in the commonwealth. Everything is so clean and modern.
is another story though, it's futuristic.

I've already put in an alarming amount of hours into this game and feel like I've barely scratched the surface. I still haven't done any settlement stuff and really only used the power armor twice and one of those times was when I found a random junky one wandering around. Every time I go 'ok im going to clear out x amount of side quests' I wind up playing inventory manager fallout edition for two hours.
It's 200 years after the war, I guess someone finally realized it doesn't take centuries to build or repair a house (or just clean it...) =)

So did the cow put the ladder there or what
Why not?
Exactly. Line your settlements streets with them. Make your own Terracotta Army

Go to place. Kill things. Pick up item. 8 times.
Some of these structuresare are great. I think on my second play through I'm gonna only have sanctuary for a long while. Managing like 10 settlements it's becoming a complete pain in the ass.
Uh oh...I might have regrets since I gave
piper my wife's wedding ring lol.
Has anybody tried the beta patch yet?
How do I collect the income from my settlements? I build a bunch of stores and made sure I have several settlers who aren't assigned to anything but I don't know where I can see how much money I've generated and where I can collect that.
Workshop and there will be bottlecaps there.
It's in the work bench under misc.

I installed it; didn't really notice anything, although then again I wasn't affected by any of the specific quest-related issues mentioned in the patch notes. Haven't had any crashes or the like since I downloaded it.
Why hold back? The developers placed it there for a reason. I have a dedicated room with all my power armor lined up. I feel like freaking Tony Stark.

Actually I find it amazing that there aren't more places like this, or at least close to it. Raider squalors and ruins are one thing, but places of business and actual homes still have piles of trash in corners and broken toilets. Did people forget how to clean up and do basic repairs while at the same time remembering how to work a terminal, farm, and practice the basics of economy?
Same. I grab all I find and companions can wear it without a fusion core so why not?

Go around the whole base deleting trees and prebuilt stuff.

Which quests are unlimited? I'm trying to avoid doing the same thing over and over, just want to focus on all the side quests and factions that can be completed.
What's the undergarment that guy is wearing on the right?
Hopefully a mod comes out so I can upgrade some of the regular armor. So tired of having to look like a scrap heap.
Trees count towards that? Dang, thanks, I'll have to make some rounds.

If a quest giver pretty much gives you the same quest each time just at a different location, it's pretty much randomly generated and unlimited. These quests also typically give little xp rewards when turned in compared to main quests.

What are those clothers the left char is wearing called ingame?
Anyone?
I'm at over 100 hours now and the settlement stuff is actively dragging the game down for me. I've stopped picking up all but 2 or 3 junk items for mats because I have already have crazy amounts of both stuff, but my settlements keep getting attacked which brings up a quest/waypoint, and even my most heavily fortified settlements like Sanctuary that have a stupid high defense rating still get attacked. Multiple times I have got notification a settlement was under attack, I go there and there's nothing happening at all, then I leave and it said I failed to protect the settlement and now everyone but the named NPCs at sanctuary are dead (down from 16). Since have really high defense doesn't seem to stop raider attacks that stops me from wanting to spend any time to actually build up my other settlements just to stop attacks from happening. And even if I wanted to do that I would have to deal with the game's incredibly clunky building and workshop system, as well as set up supply lines to all 15-20 settlements I have. And even ignoring all of that and the attacks I still have issues constantly with my shops being unasssigned even by named NPCs that cannot die, so I can't even just ignore everything else and just at the bare minimum use the settlement as a shop location.
It's incredibly infuriating. I'm glad it's there for people that want to mess around with it, but it's super clunky and actively intrusive to the game I want to play like I have all of their previous games. The 100% happiness trophy full-on stopped any drive I have to go for the Platinum. I would kill for a PS4 mod that just basically turns it off. If I was reviewing the game I would actually knock it points for this.

You'll get a quest and end up on the other side of it at the end. You're talking about when you walk in and there's a security guard and it's on that back wall correct?
I have found the abandon church in Glowing Sea is a great place kill two 2 legendary ghoul, look at what drops and reload if it's not what I am looking for. As a sniper, what weapon and effects should I be looking for? I assume the weapon would be a Gauss rifle, but effects, not sure.

Yeah thats the one. Is the quest from one of the people down there?
I've started the process of creating a settlement for just my followers. The plan is for each person to have an individual house, and my house being the biggest (shared with Cait, of course).
I am putting way too much thought into this.
I am putting way too much thought into this.
For example, Nick's house won't have a toilet or food. Synths don't eat, right? But he'll have a bunch of cigs.
Eventually someone gets sick, and they ask you to find the cure. This is after you find the girls missing cat.
You can't see what someone does. Only time someone has been unassigned from a shop, it turned out to be broken and I had to repair it.
Best thing with the settlement system for me is to kill everyone and molotov everything.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
This is why I'm not bothering with the Minuteman Quests in my new save file at the moment because all I get for it is a bunch of Settlements I care not for at the moment and a bunch of whining to help them from raids.
What I'm doing this time is working on my Home Settlement to my liking than after I'm done with that I'm going to unlock 1 Settlement at the time and work on each one of them as I go one at the time

It's literally going to like 10 different spots spread all over the frickin' map.
Luckily I've discovered a good chunk of the map so fast traveling really helped.

Not really I have been thinking the same. Focusing on Sanctuary and Spectacle Island. Thinking of Where is best for my companions, a lovely sunset over boston sitting with Piper....
Also Cait... I did the Combat Zone but she never travelled afterwards, but I can't find her. She isn't in any of my settlements. Where can she be?
It was like when I lost Piper, I was in bits running all over the place to do a mission in Diamond City only to find out that she was outside the mayors office as part of the quest!
Do the sidequests you receive by the Brotherhood at the Cambridge Police Station repeat just like Preston's? I talked to Rhys and he had me exterminate Ghoul's and now wants me to talk to Danse. I already have another mission to retrieve a capacitor, so I am wondering. Are these missions just going to repeat? Thanks

Yeah the system is a mixed bag. By itself, each settlement is a fun and amazing building sim. The moment it connects with the rest of the game, it has some huge issues.
I posted this last night but to unlock that trophy:
