Fallout 4

Ahh ok thanks, my guard post was pretty much useless

 

I had the same thing going on for the last couple days , the defense points of the gaurd post only add to the total once you assign a settler to them

 

My Sanctuary is pretty BA, but my other towns I just don't care about AS MUCH. I mean they still have 10+ people or so but, sanctuary is at 16

Also, the Plane crash in the north, is a nightmare against the children of atom.

 

Im gonna switch my main to the castle soon. Its more centrally located. Just need to build my entire second floor and start linking my settlements. Itd be nice if my castle would get more people, radio doesnt seem to be bringing anyone new in

 

It took days for me to get 10 people into my castle settlement. The other settlements seem to grow quicker for some reason...

I did go clear out the multiple raider and single synth bases stationed near the castle which seemed to help. I'm not sure if the game takes that into account.

 

I read that it does. The settlers that come to your base spawn a little distance away and there is a chance that raiders will kidnap them, or synths or ghouls will kill them. When you find dead settlers around the wasteland, a lot of them were just wandering.

 

Good to know! Ill go work on those a little. I dont need to build another beacon do i? I assumed the one at the castle was enough already

 

I'm not sure. I'm still in the very beginning. Just built my first beacon at the co op for a minuteman mission after clearing it of ghouls.

Speaking of Ghouls, has anybody cleared the national guard training facility? It seems like the way I have to go is behind a master locked door

 

One was able to get me 10 settlers in a few game days.

 

Without spoiler alert, that door can be opened in a building nearby. AFAIK you don't need anything in that bunker though it does have a notable goodie. Just get ready for a bum rushing after you leave the building...

 

Yeah it seemed too easy when entering.

I found a certain legendary enemy trapped somewhere. I can't kill it through the door though. Very nervous about it.

 

So I messed around for an hour and 1/2 or so this morning , a couple observations ~

Indeed one settler can manage 6 crop units

If you go to where your garden is and go into crafting mode , and hover over the settler that is tending your crops , the plants they are tending will glow green , this is helpful to figure out which of your crops are unattended and not profucing food

Build a bell in a central location in your settlement . When you ring the bell , all the settlers in the settlement come to the bell and stand around for a bit . You can then fairly easily enter crafting mode and hover over each settler and their bed and assignments glow green

 

At the Starlight Theatre , I built 2 water purification plants in the big puddle in the middle , soon to be 3 and I'm going to build a trade stand there

 

SPOILER ALERT (sort of)

The legendary enemy is the least of your worries. In that building there is a room with a computer to unlock that door outside. You'll know you have the right computer when you unlock something but nothing nearby opens. Anyways, after you hit the bunker up for some goodies (I won't ruin the surprise) there is an enemy waiting for you outside that is far stronger than the legendary enemy. At a lower level without at least a missile launcher and power armor you will get raped and not be able to leave the bunker without dying.

I had power armor on and a missile launcher with 9 shells at level 15 and it was a bit of a SOB to kill off the enemy outside. If you are a lower level than that... well without a fatman it could take a few times and some good tactics to take the SOB down.

 

I had no idea about the bell! Thanks.

 

Me neither , I read it in an article while I was trying to figure out my settlement crops assignment issues , just added them this morning

 

I'm gonna PM you so I don't spoil anything but I saw my roommate do that part when I was rolling through. I had my power armor on to do the whole mission and my other roommate was making fun of me since it seems like such an easy mission.

 

A lot of Fallout 4 is very level dependent. The leveling on this game is not as compensated as it was in Fallout 3 in my personal opinion. That first 10 levels the game feels tough, but after that I'm tempted to turn the difficulty up sometimes until I find a mini badass boss.

 

I turned mine to hard. Its complicated enough i have to use stimpacks often if im not careful. But not so hard i die everytime i go somewhere

 

Plus you get sweet legendary gear
