+Jesse Bains ... OR with strategic farming (I mean crops, not grinding) and a water purifier, you can produce way more than you'd readily find from greedily grabbing all the duct tape or wonderglue you come across.
+Wow 117 i just meant having to dig and scrounge and getting excited for all the wonderglue like you're huffing it. I fell into that trap, and now I don't need to investigate every trader I see to see *if* he has rolls of duct tape so I can craft that next weapon. DIRTY water, on the other hand... geez. They made the pure stuff comparably readily available (as opposed to 3 or NV), but you need it dirty for some specific recipes.
RMJ I don't see it as a chore because I loot EVERYTHING and if it's useful or I need it then I grab it. I never have to scrounge materials unless I make a lot of upgrades at once.
+Jurgio Productions go to a cooking station, then to UTILITIES, vegetable starch makes 5 adhesive, requires 3 types of crop and purified water. Purified water is easily come by if you place one of the big water resource things in a settlement, then it will automatically add purified water to your workstation over time
I know it’s a couple years late but Scrapping items converts their potential into the essential resources. This is recommended in order to allow you to transfer these essentials easily between settlements, if you do not have Local Leader. Hot items include Copper, Rubber, Cement, Oil, Crystal, Circuitry, Ceramic, and Gear. 8 simple items, excluding Steel and Wood of course. Those are a given. I’d say the most essential are Copper, Ceramic, Gear, Oil, and Rubber. The particularly rare ones are Circuitry, Crystals. Useful for essential tools like sentries and radio beacons. Cement and Aluminum are a bit specific, but important. Depends. Cement is particularly useful for settlements without nearby bodies of water. It’s your only method of water source in that scenario. Aluminum is mainly for higher tech gadgets. They’re uncommon, but inexpensive. Just purchase at a junk store if you’re running low. Just be careful toting Cement around. Other items like Copper, Rubber, Oil, etc., feel free to carry that with you every settlement you travel to. They’re light weight.
Already put like 30 hours in the game and I just sawed this. I didn't know about the radio one. Everything left was pretty easy to do. I already got some shops going and my happines % is about 91. Thanks for uploading this. It was cool to hear travis from Diamond City Radio anounce that sanctuary was a thing. I can't wait to to a mission for him. It's the best radio station that I've heard.
The first time I was playing, I didn't knew anything, I thought mission can be completed without collecting or doing anything, But Hagen Tested my limit. Also I was playing without upgrading guns.
before i used the stores (the local leader ones not the emporiums) my cap numbers soared and some settlers had better weapons & armor. stores are a must
+BioBrain It seems that there's a command to make them glow : when you want to construct something, like a door for exemple, you can choose the pieces that you're looking for via the menu of craft... unfortunetly, I don't have the game, I can't tell which button do this action. It's said just after that part of the video, around [ 3:15 ]... maybe you'll find it in the screen ? (^_^)
I've played a lot of games and watched a lot of youtube videos on how to play them. That was one of the most well-designed, concise, and informative videos I've seen. Thanks!
What is the point of building settlements with seamless fence-lines, walls, defences etc etc if enemies simply spawn slap-bang in the middle of your settlement ?
@MrOverCritical1989 There is always a chance of enemies spawning inside walls--there are some great videos explaining why this is, but it has to do with fast traveling and in-game mechanics calculating how long it takes you to get back to wherever it is you're defending. No way to avoid this--even if using a mod that stops them spawning inside settlements (in some the spawn points are naturally inside the green boundary).
Quick tip. If you never want to worry about caps, build 1 settlement for producing a bunch of water (999+) you will get around 700-1000 bottles of water every now and then. Get the strong back perk maxed and you will be able to fast travel with all that water youve been storing. I normally use the sanctuary Hills settlement for this purpose. I completely fill up the river with the big Water Production units. Also another eye that is kind of important for crafting that you left out is dirty water. But thats mainly for chems and ammo for some guns
Okay, so, you can build a settlement. But what's the goal, basically? How frequent are the attacks? How intense are the attacks? I kind of want my settlement to be in constant siege all the time so that I'll have a reason to make it better constantly.
I'm pretty advanced in my game since I started playing it, what with modding it etc lol.. but I see that this video will STILL be very useful for people starting out who have just got the game. I just didn't look for videos I guess I kinda picked it up myself but this is a great vid :) So, a belated thanks for sharing your advice with the community!
Do I NEED to get settlements? Because so far it's been a damn chore and I honestly don't care about the people except for the few companions and my dog.
+Heartsickruben NEED? No, its considered side quest material. But there are advantages to having a lot of them as you can build artillery at them later on and can use it all around the map.
If it were more user friendly, I would enjoy it more. Managing settlers is a real ballache when you can't remember who's picking what corn and who you just assigned to pick their nose at the general store stand all day long. I know mousing over them in workshop mode highlights their current assignment, but these dickholes always wander off and it's extremely awkward to try and change their duties.
I made dock town info: Stories:8 Location:High above any water Pop:709 (large rigth?) Features:Mall/Town Square, A crap ton of guard posts/towers, Hotel, shipyard, Farm, Restaurants, own Amry, other than that it's was a big project for me but it's now done I've been adding a few touches it's a masterpiece
I only just found out if you hold down x after selecting an item, you can move it around while standing still, also if you select an item like a wall of a building you built ,and keep holding the x button down, it will allow you to move your entire base you built. : ) Found this out after spending hours moving my home aaargh!
Scrapping everything but what is inside your original house will give you plenty of resources to but a wooden wall around Sanctuary and plenty of beds/ guard posts. I recommend a wall to prevent anyone from running into your town, have the "gate" at the bridge so it's a bottleneck.
Does anyone know why, no matter what I do, my settlements don't grow beyond around 80 happiness and about 18 people? I tried everything I could think of from planting more varied food to adding lights to all buildings and giving settlers personal spaces and privacy yet it's always at 80 Happiness, 18 people.
+Satoshi Matrix You can Google for more info, but from what I've read from people hitting 100% is to first get 20 people (get 10 Charisma, directly or indirectly), then use 3 of them to tend food and the rest to tend the biggest Stores. Next put about 100 points into Defense, then you apparently have to hang out at the settlement all the time until it hits 100. Doesn't seem worth the trouble to me.
+G-day mate Nonsense. My character has a Charisma base stat of 11, achieved by making it out through level ups and also getting the skill magazine in the asylum. Still my settlements have 18 people max, happiness 80.
I know this is old, but I want to note this for anyone that reads this that also has this issue. A high defence along with what Satoshi said should fix the issue. Build turrets preferably
I am just about to level 50 and I did not know that one defense assigned settler could cover 3 posts.... it sure bumped up my defense now that you told me! I wish I never set up my supply routes the way I did either, it's hard to catch those buggers before they get to the green zone.
anyone have a weird glitch where when you are in the building hud and you look at objects you can interact with your whole hud glitches to whatever color the object's outline is...
I want to see a mod, either located in pip boy, building screen or even in settlement terminal that allows you to see all settlers in that settlement and what they are currently assigned to, and the ability to change or add assignments without hunting them each down.
i know i commented on this video a year ago but still settlement building is such a pain in the arse. having to run back and forth through them all making sure everyone has enough food water beds power and defense, also it can be stressful grinding for supplies to make all the stuff
Ok so I set up a Weapons stand and assigned Valentine to it right, after a couple in game days I wanted to buy ammo from it. The thing is I didn't know how to do it. Later when I was traveling with Valentine I somehow opened up the menu to buy from him and I didn't know how I did it
"You must have settlers assigned to the garden." Settlers will tend the crops without being assigned. Only Stores, Crafting Stations, and some other things require assigning settlers to them; anyone not so assigned will tend crops. "An assigned gardener can take care of six individual plants." A settler can tend plants with up to 6 Food points. Some plants (corn, tatos) are 1/2 point each, so 1 settler can tend 12 of them. Mutfruit plants are 1 point each. (Since these plants are needed to create Adhesive, you want to grow them to the exclusion of other plants.) With 18 food points (e.g.: 12 corn, 12, tatos, 6 mutfruits), 3 unassigned settlers are enough to tend them. "Build turrets equal to the total of Food and Water points..." That is the minimum needed to discourage attackers, but the Help system says that to increase Happiness, put more points into Defense. People who have hit 100% Happiness have put around 100 points into Defense. Components to mark for searching: Oil is one of the scarcest items in the game relative to how much is needed. It is required for building turrets (of which many are needed per above), generators, weapon mods, etc. You can craft oil in the Chemistry bench, but it requires a lot of Bone which is also scarce relative to the amount needed.
I started building onto the red rocket gas station, can I just have it be my house and keep it at that for storing items and being cool and such? Or do I have to make it a settlement with more people
The recrutment becon swithc should be green or red? When its green i am not getting radio signal but whwn its red i am getting radio signal, its a bit confusing
sell watermelons for caps at one of the nearby farm. they give u 5 caps per melon. trash can carla as well as other merchants will sell shipments of items such as crystal and aluminum
Isnt it funny that after the release of Fallout 4 dozens of UA-camrs start to make "Guides" about stuff that you can find out by playng the game only a couple hours. Buts its cool for people who dont have the game.
+TsunaTsurugi I mean people like to share information, if it is an easy view grabber then I don't see the problem when a lot of people may be slower at figuring out stuff than others. Even if they don't have the game, let's plays cover that, or streams.
+TsunaTsurugi I found this handy as I wasn't sure how deep I wanted to get into the whole settlement thing. But it watching videos like this gives me a quick overview without giving too much away & makes me think, that while other people might not be a fan of it, settlements look like something I'd enjoy.
It's really annoying when you have to go around your settlement finding that one guy who is still unnasinged. Like I have 16 settlers in most of my settlement but it feels like I only have 5.
Question about the local leader perk... Do the supply lines just transfer food and water? All the junk I have collected, I put it all in my workbench at Red Rocket because it is also where I have my Power Armor collection and other convenient things so I don't have to go to different settlements looking for the objects I need when I am repairing my power armor. If I put a supply line to another settlement, will the junk from my Red Rocket transfer to that settlement? its really annoying having to go to Red Rocket whenever I'm lacking materials in another settlement and then I end up forgetting to bring back something because I had a big ass shopping list..
Why is my power icon always red in build mode? I have more than enough but the number is always red, its the only one. Do i have to power certain things? Please help.
How do you equip the settlers with armor. Because I can give them armor and can't equip it on them like I can my follower or can't you do it? One time a provisiner had a suit of power armor though. Dunno how he got it but
Can you please explain what happens when a junk item is used for a mode etc. Some are saying that the leftover components are not discarded and are a visual bug while others are saying that they are permanently destroyed! The fallout subreddits are somewhat divided in half on this one. Both sides have said that it has been tested so I don't know who to believe either. Please help!!!!!
I would love to build super sized settlements all day but by the the time I reach level 70 ish in the game it starts to kind of be laggish around all of the junk and shit I've hoarded over time while playing fallout. Does anyone have the same problem I'm level 102 now, the game runs fine the frame rates are smooth but when I drop off a load of shit into my settlement its like the controls and picture is sticky and slowish and it takes a minute to store everything.
I've been trying to find this answer forever online, but no luck yet. So I'll ask. Why are some of my settlements greyed out? I can't build at them, I can't send supply lines to them, and I can't send companions to them. I failed to defend a couple of them because I was in the middle of a quest or didn't see the msg saying it was under attack. How do I fix this? Half my settlements are like that...
you can send people there because you already have the maximum of settlers you can have 10 plus your charisma points of settlers there so if you have a charisma of 6 you can have up to 16 settlers there and there reason you can't build is because you build the maximum capacity
Don't know if this was covered in the vid was just looking at comments. Is there a way to have all your items you send to one workbench at one settlement you focus on. To transfer them to all the others so you don't have to pick up what you need and take it to another settlement just to build items there. Like can you have all your items shared between every workshop in the game. It's just annoying when I want to build a beacon at a new settlement but all my items are at my main one instead..
No worries thanks I just worked it out. I had to keep going up to settlers and send them of to other settlements I just thought I could have one supply line but now it's all good.
+Wong Junn Kit Yes. This applies to *some* other items as well. For example, if a crate has bottles in it and you just scrap the crate, you will see on screen that you are getting wood, but no glass. You have to get closer so that just the bottles are highlighted and scrap them. The better way is to make one round to loot and a second round to scrap because some items may be inside containers/chests and not visible when looting. (*Other items will fall to the floor when you scrap the thing they are in/on.) When you are scrapping Sanctuary, several houses have safes. (At 0:42 in the video, there is a partially buried floor safe to the right of where he is rapidly scrapping everything and I thought he was going to scrap it too.) If you don't have hairpins or the safe's level is too high, go back out to the street and build a tall, ornate chest in front of the house to indicate the house has a safe (or locked suitcase) in it to remind you to get it later, such as the Advanced safe in he Root Cellar behind one house.
Is it normal that Preston Garvey always gets bugged on a defensive fence part? because i made one all around the settlement and i never find him when this happens xD
wait wait wait did you say at the end that the shop keepers at emporiums can also run supply lines ? they always seem to abandon the shop when I try that ?
I have a silly, but quite interesting question ( maybe ? I hope ? )... Can one of you settlers use a power armor to defend your base ? ( please, tell me that you can give them this order )
+Curse Entertainment please do a guide on the trading stands.. for the love of dogmeat I don't fucking get any of them to work at all, no idea what to do with them :D
+Jazz The Cabbit you can't assign them, but you can tell your followers and have them patrol your settlement, but be wary ,they might leave the power armor laying about somewhere in your settlement.
+Jazz The Cabbit I wouldn't fool with that, build defensive turrets and positions instead. I have yet to get attacked anywhere, my defenses are so high no bad guys will even think of trying it.
i agree, but the only thing i don’t really care for is how many settlements you have to maintain, id just rather have the sanctuary and maybe one other
that sturges guy is so annoying you assign him and the next thing you know he is hammering imaginary nails into house walls!!
+TheFranny117 RIGHT
I cant even command him hes like the merchants that come through. I cant even select him in craft menu.
+nameless face in the crowd Do it at night or when he isn't working. You may have assigned him to a business.

Settlers do *not* take are of 6 individual plants, they take care of *6 food* worth of plants. It's a whole lot different
for most crops that would be 12 plants
Mods make farming and everything better
He didn't mention the the perk that let's you scrap weapons and armor. You get tons of springs, screws, and gears from guns.
GoldenBucket 890 you mean scrapper
Horde a ton of pipe guns and some combat weapons, and by later game, get scrapper and destroy them all,
It'll solve your inevitable screw crisis.
Love how the mutant just ate a mininuke and he is fine
I thought the Fallout 3 super mutants were scary. I was wrong.
Supply Lines are from the Local Leader perk rank one, not the stores.
I believe he said rank two right? he says it at 4:15 because you need rank 2 for the stores.

I started building onto the red rocket gas station, can I just have it be my house and keep it at that for storing items and being cool and such? Or do I have to make it a settlement with more people
It can be just your house just don't build recruitment tower for settlers
Pretty good basic how to. informed me greatly.
The recrutment becon swithc should be green or red? When its green i am not getting radio signal but whwn its red i am getting radio signal, its a bit confusing
sell watermelons for caps at one of the nearby farm. they give u 5 caps per melon. trash can carla as well as other merchants will sell shipments of items such as crystal and aluminum
Isnt it funny that after the release of Fallout 4 dozens of UA-camrs start to make "Guides" about stuff that you can find out by playng the game only a couple hours. Buts its cool for people who dont have the game.
+TsunaTsurugi I mean people like to share information, if it is an easy view grabber then I don't see the problem when a lot of people may be slower at figuring out stuff than others. Even if they don't have the game, let's plays cover that, or streams.
+TsunaTsurugi That's why there is "*Basics*" mentioned in the title.
+TsunaTsurugi I found this handy as I wasn't sure how deep I wanted to get into the whole settlement thing. But it watching videos like this gives me a quick overview without giving too much away & makes me think, that while other people might not be a fan of it, settlements look like something I'd enjoy.
Actually just basically guode to someone that need deeper festures in game
how to we fix the roofs and walls before all the destruction happened?
also is there a way to make the floor completely clean or possibly fix them?
+John Davis (ScoobyJD) No. hopefully mods or updates in the future will fix these problems
It's really annoying when you have to go around your settlement finding that one guy who is still unnasinged. Like I have 16 settlers in most of my settlement but it feels like I only have 5.
you can create a bell it will attract all the settlers in the area
Great guide, very well done and straight to the point... thanks a lot!
thank you so much for this! i didint know how to get settlers into my town again tahnk you!
Question about the local leader perk... Do the supply lines just transfer food and water? All the junk I have collected, I put it all in my workbench at Red Rocket because it is also where I have my Power Armor collection and other convenient things so I don't have to go to different settlements looking for the objects I need when I am repairing my power armor. If I put a supply line to another settlement, will the junk from my Red Rocket transfer to that settlement? its really annoying having to go to Red Rocket whenever I'm lacking materials in another settlement and then I end up forgetting to bring back something because I had a big ass shopping list..
Jacques Ji ok so it's only one settler per supply line?
just what i was looking for, great video.
Why is my power icon always red in build mode? I have more than enough but the number is always red, its the only one. Do i have to power certain things? Please help.
My weapons bench in sanctuary doesn't allow me to craft ! Can anyone help please,
i would recomend using the sleeping bags that way the NPC won't get confused and they are the smallest sleeping space
what are the points of having a settlement? how does its benefit me?
How do you equip the settlers with armor. Because I can give them armor and can't equip it on them like I can my follower or can't you do it? One time a provisiner had a suit of power armor though. Dunno how he got it but
Shaun is the main characters baby and gets stolen from them in the vault and the story is about looking for him
Can you please explain what happens when a junk item is used for a mode etc. Some are saying that the leftover components are not discarded and are a visual bug while others are saying that they are permanently destroyed!
The fallout subreddits are somewhat divided in half on this one. Both sides have said that it has been tested so I don't know who to believe either. Please help!!!!!
So if you want more settler for your settlement
You have to make a radio station
It's sound pretty good
Well done
Technically you’re first settlement is red rocket truck stop although the first settlement occupied by a large amount of people is sanctuary
I started playing now. October '23. And THIS should have been a valt tec into
I would love to build super sized settlements all day but by the the time I reach level 70 ish in the game it starts to kind of be laggish around all of the junk and shit I've hoarded over time while playing fallout. Does anyone have the same problem I'm level 102 now, the game runs fine the frame rates are smooth but when I drop off a load of shit into my settlement its like the controls and picture is sticky and slowish and it takes a minute to store everything.
Du I have to invest time with this settlement thing? Its just to mutch for me for some reason
This may be a stupid question, but how do I turn my items and junk into recourses I need to build? Such as steel, copper, rubber, ect.
+TheNightWatch Not everyone used a controller
You can also scrap weapons and armor you don't need at their respective benches
I've been trying to find this answer forever online, but no luck yet. So I'll ask. Why are some of my settlements greyed out? I can't build at them, I can't send supply lines to them, and I can't send companions to them. I failed to defend a couple of them because I was in the middle of a quest or didn't see the msg saying it was under attack. How do I fix this? Half my settlements are like that...
How many people are in your settlement, I have a settlement with 20 people and I've tried to move more people to it but they don't have the option
you can send people there because you already have the maximum of settlers you can have 10 plus your charisma points of settlers there so if you have a charisma of 6 you can have up to 16 settlers there and there reason you can't build is because you build the maximum capacity
But... can the settlement make you money? And how?
Don't know if this was covered in the vid was just looking at comments. Is there a way to have all your items you send to one workbench at one settlement you focus on. To transfer them to all the others so you don't have to pick up what you need and take it to another settlement just to build items there. Like can you have all your items shared between every workshop in the game. It's just annoying when I want to build a beacon at a new settlement but all my items are at my main one instead..
+Sam Foy Yes you need the 'Local Leader' Perk (6 Charisma required). This establishes a supply line between all your settlements
No worries thanks I just worked it out. I had to keep going up to settlers and send them of to other settlements I just thought I could have one supply line but now it's all good.
What armour was thatat 0:12
Raider cage armor I think.
Hi could make a video on all settlements in the game and how to get them thanks
How do u turn on the material marker on
So do how to claim a different settlement
kill all the settlers, then touch the workbench, or do their quest
if i scrap a safe that I wasnt able to pick lock, will those items in the safe be gone ?
+Wong Junn Kit
Yes. This applies to *some* other items as well. For example, if a crate has bottles in it and you just scrap the crate, you will see on screen that you are getting wood, but no glass. You have to get closer so that just the bottles are highlighted and scrap them. The better way is to make one round to loot and a second round to scrap because some items may be inside containers/chests and not visible when looting. (*Other items will fall to the floor when you scrap the thing they are in/on.)
When you are scrapping Sanctuary, several houses have safes. (At 0:42 in the video, there is a partially buried floor safe to the right of where he is rapidly scrapping everything and I thought he was going to scrap it too.)
If you don't have hairpins or the safe's level is too high, go back out to the street and build a tall, ornate chest in front of the house to indicate the house has a safe (or locked suitcase) in it to remind you to get it later, such as the Advanced safe in he Root Cellar behind one house.
my settlement has a high defense all over are turrets the guard posts are by the bridge and at the back.
this actually helped me thanks for the help
Excellent guide! Thanks!
Is there a way to have unlimited inventory and don't have to do the story on pc? Just for building stuff
Yes install mod called cheat terminal which isnt available for ps4 only xb1 and pc
The recruitment radio beacon should it glow red or green if i wanna get more settlers? (please check yours ingame before you answer)
Green
But why when its green i dont get radio signal when its when its red i do get rasio signal?
+Filsoh That's just a glitch, happens to me as well. If the recruitment radio frequency pops in your pip boy, then you're good to go.
I noticed in the middle of the starlight drive in there is a large rads zone. Is there any way to get rid of it?
Yes. Scrap the rad producing barrels in build mode.
Can you guys tell me which things i have to loot when i'm in the wasteland? For example i know adhesive is important... Anything else?
Copper, aluminium, screws gear, crystal,
Is it normal that Preston Garvey always gets bugged on a defensive fence part? because i made one all around the settlement and i never find him when this happens xD
any guide for settlement happiness would be appreciated
forgot to tell you that the guide was awesome man. thanks!
+Johnnatan Da Cruz In my experience, putting down decorations tends to raise the happiness bar
Is there a way to prevent NPCs from getting in certain power armor? It's annoying having to look for them every time they get attacked...
+xX “OhThatsCooliGuess” Xx Take the fusion cores out of the suits.
Does anyone know what a terminal can do?
Those materials are pretty uncommon, but its easy to find it at alot of vendors at Diamond City.
wait wait wait did you say at the end that the shop keepers at emporiums can also run supply lines ? they always seem to abandon the shop when I try that ?
for me the obvious resources that i need are always aluminum and Adhesive. Everything i can find fairly easy.
What is the music in the background
Anybody know how to get vendors to your settlement
Thank you very much I appreciate the guide love it.
why are the border lines sometimes red?
I have a silly, but quite interesting question ( maybe ? I hope ? )... Can one of you settlers use a power armor to defend your base ? ( please, tell me that you can give them this order )
+Jazz The Cabbit I have seen them jump into them before.
+Curse Entertainment please do a guide on the trading stands.. for the love of dogmeat I don't fucking get any of them to work at all, no idea what to do with them :D
+Jazz The Cabbit you can't assign them, but you can tell your followers and have them patrol your settlement, but be wary ,they might leave the power armor laying about somewhere in your settlement.
+Jazz The Cabbit I wouldn't fool with that, build defensive turrets and positions instead. I have yet to get attacked anywhere, my defenses are so high no bad guys will even think of trying it.
+xzkek what did you mean about doggy?
it sounds like everything I've ever wanted in a survival game. Why is it though I hear so many gamers bitching about it being a nuisance?
i agree, but the only thing i don’t really care for is how many settlements you have to maintain, id just rather have the sanctuary and maybe one other
How did you highlight items?
