forameus Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Great shout. Need plenty of space mind you as he's a heavy wee horsey..... Get the perk that lets you fast travel while over-encumbered. Go to location, get all the gear that's there, then fast travel direct to your workshop. Gets it all in one go if you've got a spare skill point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The Scrapper perk is pretty useful as well. Scrapper may well be the reason that I don't have trouble with finding things like screws, actually. Every now and then I'll wade through the mountain of weapons I've stored at a settlement and recycle anything I've got more than ten of. More screws than Wayne Rooney on a Saga holiday. Anyone short on oil: you can apparently create cutting fluid at Chemistry Stations, which is made from acid, bone, purified water, and steel. It breaks down into 3 oil No doubt we're all familiar with the easy way to get loads of adhesive, which is a bitch to find otherwise - make sure each settlement has a wee area of corn, mutfruit, and tato plants being maintained by settlers, and pick them every time you stop by. At a cooking station, you can combine them with purified water to make vegetable starch, which can be used as 5 adhesive 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Does it need to be an enemy that I pickpocket a grenade into? Tried it on settlers and it didn't work. I assume so, you heartless monster 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Decided the worst thing on the game is that Marcy Long is unkillable. Finally snapped at her incessant whinging in spite of the fact I've now built Sanctuary up to be a vibrant little hamlet, did a quicksave, and then flamed her to "death" - of course she's invincible so all that happens is the rest of the guys in Sanctuary including Codsworth turn hostile and she restores health after a few seconds. Presume on the PC you can mod this, but sadly not on PS4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulises de la Cruz Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Does it need to be an enemy that I pickpocket a grenade into? Tried it on settlers and it didn't work. You need the pickpocket perk level 2. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Thompson Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Collect all the pipe pistols and other shite weapons at the raiders have then go to a settlement and drop/discard them there. Then go into settlement mode and you can scrap them individually to get screws, copper etc. You can scrap them at a weapons workbench too but don't get as much from each weapon. Im not getting screws from weapons. Im also not getting anything different when I scrap them in settlement mode or on the workbench 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 (edited) Has anyone noticed that raw materials sometimes respawn at settlements? It's only happened to me at Sanctuary, and I thought I was imagining it at first, but the trees definitely reappear over time after being scrapped. Don't think I've noticed it anywhere else. Haven't been able to play yet this year, and I think the earliest I'll get another shot now is Sunday. Got the post-apocalyptic DTs, I'm tellin' ya. Im not getting screws from weapons. Im also not getting anything different when I scrap them in settlement mode or on the workbench There's a perk that lets you recover increasingly more exotic parts from scrapping items, and I think you need the first level of it to get screws from ****. You don't get much from bog-standard pipe pistols IIRC, but the ones with mods (and the more exotic weapons) yield more interesting components. Edit: that was supposed to be "screws from guns" - I'll leave you all to guess which letter I mistyped!

mizfit Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Im at the bit when we are back at the refuge which was near the family home but can't find any more food apart from melons! Where do i go to get food or what else can i do? Go to Diamond city, they've got Tato's growing in the city walls, harvest them and return to Sanctuary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renton Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Im not getting screws from weapons. Im also not getting anything different when I scrap them in settlement mode or on the workbench You need the Scrapper perk for that to work. Level 1 get's you screws and gears, level 2 allows you to harvest advanced stuff like fibre optics and nuclea rmaterial from your guns. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thats the bit where i first found the settlers across the bridge? Loving the game btw - it helps for me that i never did too much research into what it would be all about as it is coming as a surprise for me as i thought it would be more of a first person shooter. It's not, that was Concord where you find Preston, Diamond City is further south, if you speak to him you can start the quest to go there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Anyone want to share a picture/name of their Sole Survivor? I'm sure some of you have some interesting abominations that could only have been created by a cruel and vengeful God My lassie's called Elise 'cause it was the first name that sprang to mind for some reason (and I didn't realise there was a bank of names that Codsworth will recognise and call you). Will share a picture when I'm at the gaming machine. I know someone on here's bound to have a character called Princess Sexy Titties Mine is called Max Power. Codsworth calls me Max, I call him Codsworth. Its just a thing we have Thats the bit where i first found the settlers across the bridge? Loving the game btw - it helps for me that i never did too much research into what it would be all about as it is coming as a surprise for me as i thought it would be more of a first person shooter. You're a bit early in the game to be worrying about different vegetables As others said, theres some in Diamond City but as you start doing more quests and discovering more settlements, some already have crops growing that you can harvest and plant elsewhere You need the Scrapper perk for that to work. Level 1 get's you screws and gears, level 2 allows you to harvest advanced stuff like fibre optics and nuclea rmaterial from your guns. Ah, that wasnt obvious from the other post.

BFTD Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 The outside lavvy on Spectacle Island Im not sure if i have found anyone called Preston. There is a black guy and one guy who likes doing DIY and some annoying old woman who wants an inhaler. I take it there are different ways this game can pan out depending on what decisions you make - i.e. when that geezer comes to the door at the beginning i said that i wanted a place in the vault if need be but i could have said i didn't want it and ended up going elsewhere? Preston's the black laddie with the cowboy hat you meet in Concord. You don't get a choice about signing up for the vault, as your spouse will strongarm you into doing it no matter what. What you can do is not go to the Vault when the alarm goes off, and experience nuclear annihilation first hand There's a spoiler regarding the Vault-Tec Salesman that I'd love to tell you, but probably shouldn't 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no. There are different ways to play the game and different orders you can do things in - do side missions instead of the main ones, build up your settlement or just go exploring, but there are fixed parts in the game that wont change. Going into the vault at the start is one. There are also things you cant do without having completed certain quests. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Preston isn't interested in sending me to diamond city and all the other guy says is about getting more food! Diamond City is part of the main story questline. Its hard to point you in the right direction without knowing what point you're at. If someone is saying you need more food, I take it you're doing settlement stuff at Sanctuary? In that case, you dont need different food, just need to plant more. You can harvest whats already planted and replant it You also have to assign a settler to the planted crop (that isnt really clear) and one settler can harvest more than one planted crop and they'll automatically assign themselves to other crops when you assign them to one. In build mode, its easy to see if someone has been assigned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Thompson Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Yeah i think i have done that, how do you harvest though as its not an option on the workshop? i assigned a girl to sort out the crops but i haven't re harvested anything i just have one melon patch. Heading south past the vault just now to see what i can find! You pick them in normal mode, once theyve grown, not the workshop - just like picking up any other item. You dont need to harvest anything to satisfy the settlement requirements. You just need enough planted and a settler assigned to them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I wondered why Sanctuary wasn't growing in population despite me planting loads of food. Didn't realise you needed to physically assign settlers to harvest. Now I've got absolutely hunners of food, and up to 17 people there. We all live in a nice big shack built right out in front of the house where the workshop was. Well, I say that, but all the common folk live on ground and first, and I have my own room up top. Can't do to mix with the others, and I need space for mine and Piper's Power Armour Emporium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkBlue62 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Having got this last week and currently playing the storylines, I was wondering what your top tips are? Having never played a Fallout game before it's a struggle getting used to it. Best stats to get up? I put charisma to 10 already and I read that's useful but then read you can get it to 6 and just wear a fedora or something to make it 10? Anyway, enough pish from me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
