Fallout 4

I think the lowest I've made it up there is around Lvl 5 or 6. Not too bad a trek so long as you avoid going the quarry junction route.

 

SO....here we go! This is pic heavy and long, FYI.

Inspired by the time I've spent reading in here, I made a new home for myself this afternoon. Above Sanctuary. More importantly, FLOATING above my fortress in Sanctuary.



When I fast travel to Sanctuary, I pop in on the top floor. A full floor of empty beneath.

All the amenities....bed, foot locker storage, a place to park my armors...


Gots to have a place to keep my fun guns that I don't always carry with me out in the field...of course, Dogmeat has to photobomb



Crafting stations of course, so I never have to go far...separate generator power supply to keep my lights on


Dropping down through that hole there leads to the roof of my old fortress, so it's a safe place to snipe from...I'll put some half-railings up around the edges I think, because reasons



I also have a lower empty level complete with like a dozen machine gun turrets. Fuck bloatflies and raiders, man


All in all, good end result. I have a strong defense against interlopers AND all my stuff is up out of reach where only I can get to it. If need be, I'm above the fray and can fast travel in and take on any occupiers with impunity. And, worst case scenario, I'm directly between the two ins and outs of Sanctuary, so if I needed to bail out in a spare set of Power Armor, I could.

 

So i made my floating platform only to later find an npc up there somehow...ha. nothing super fancy but the edge is line with my power suits to jump in and drop if need be.

Also made a platform ledge to stick out above one of the existing buildings so i can drop down onto it and reach ground level without dying.

 

Yup. Unbelievable. I just came back from securing the island for the railroad and found this

They were both at crafting stations when I fast travelled in

 

Yea im not sure how they get in there? I had the old lady up there and then she sat on my couch. Later she was gone though. Doesnt seem to be a true fix. Although i still think its cool having a fortess up there.

 

Friend of mine said he dumped a bunch of booze on the ground in his settlement and left, then when he arrived back everyone was hammered and stumbling around. Going to try it myself.

 

Thats what happened when I opened my bar at Starlight Theatre

 

Nice! How else should you unwind post apocalypse?

 

Same here. I think it has something to do with the fast travel target.

 

Or perhaps the items they use?

An armor station or weapon bench within the settlement? A couch or specific chair they want to use?

Perhaps the answer is...when you leave, don't have anything there they would have need to use

 

So in other words, just leave a plank up there with your shit in a pile?

 

*shrug*

Hell if I know, I'm spitballing here.

But when I travelled back, I had settlers at my crafting stations. When you travelled back, you had the old lady sittin on the couch, like she is wont to do in the houses down at ground level.

Perhaps its as simple as not having something they're allowed to use at any elevation within the settlement area. Just going with logic here.

I'll try it in the morning when I do some more gaming. I'll store my crafting stations, bed, etc so there's nothing up there for them to be OK using and travel in and out a number of times....see what I can come up with.

 

Found a full set of X-01 Power Armor tonight.

 

Nice.

 

This makes sense. Two settlers were sitting on my couch every time I fast traveled back to my treehouse tonight.

 

<--- IT guy. Programmer's logic

 

For anyone having issues with AMD cards, apparently AMD has a massive solution on the way:

FUUUUUUCK I WANNA PLAY Fo4!!!!! Need a PS4

 

Anybody else find the 2 crates near the top of the map with 4 fusion cores each in them ?

 

No... but I'll go looking for those shortly.
