The Perfect Efficient Settlement - How to Make It - Fallout 4 Settlements

[Subsaibot]

And here I thought that building a chair for mama Murphy was a huge accomplishment.

Walls are indeed mostly pointless. What they can be used for however is to funnel enemies into carefully constructed choke points. Where they can then be met with an obscene amount of firepower. This is a legitimate military tactic. Almost all of my turrets face inward toward the settlement's interior, not outward.

The only exception being my Castle build. The only known enemy spawn point there is about 100 yards from the main entrance. I walled a V formation along the path as soon as I was able so that enemies have no choice but to approach the door in a small confined space. Where they're then met by 12 separate turrets.

If I lived at your settlement I would go on a bar crawl. I would start at the top of course. Then I get the gravity assist.

okay this is the first time I've seen a bloody gorilla in Fallout.

What! Are you telling me that my Settlers aren't simply ecstatic about the 3 Deathclaws roaming around, unrestrained?

[anthonyv]

The only perfect settlement is one without settlers.

I dislike how you basically have to game the system in order to achieve 100% happiness - I wish you could reach this level via a sensible, logically built settlement.

Heh, learn something everyday.
Today i learned that brahmin produce fertilizer...
Also, i learned that you can change the version of your Turrets:
Depending on the distance from Sanctuary, the level/type of turrets will increase.
Example; If you built a Mk 1 turret at the Castle. Store it in the workshop, then before you place it down again, check to make sure its a Mk 5 (Incendiary) or Mk 7 (Explosive).
If it's not just cycle to the next turret, then back. Each time you switch turrets it has a chance to make a different type.
Hope i explained that well enough.

"Enemies teleport through walls" walks over half-foot high wall.

Any time I start getting bored with FO4 I watch Ox and get excited again. You are like a energy drink for Fallout.

[AlphaQHard]

Looks like a third world sweat shop. That being said, good job.

[AstralHate]

Ive got 279 hours in Fallout 4 and I never heard about pets until now :/

“Ok so to bring that happiness up, here’s what you do G O R I L L A S “ me: come again?

[jamesr.]

settler: I am unhappy
settler: *sees gorilla*
settler: gasp now I am happy

Bethesda to release: fallout 5: City Builder

[Darkteen]

This would we so easier if the settlers were unique to some degree. We could have singers, dancers, and mechanics among other things. You would better understand how to use someone to their full potential and settlements would be unique. You could have one settlement dedicated to entertainment and another to science and these skills would increase for them the better equipped the settlement was. You could build trade routes and then send people for a given amount of time to other settlements to boost happiness or food production. It would also be great have mayors look after your cities and build things and leave them in the workshop so when you come back you can place it wherever you want. A more simplistic version of settlement building should have been offered as well, something along the lines of Hearthfire. Hopefully ES 6 has a better system as well as the next Fallout.

[Vanalovan]

This is the pinnacle of the settlement body. You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

[CastorQuinn]

This is brilliant. Even if I don't intend my settlements to be optimally efficient, knowing how the numbers work makes managing a functional settlement so much more rewarding. Especially in survival, where you're not fast travelling around the place to clear out your inventories at cap, but for the same reason depend upon that settlement production.

ill just roleplay a bar franchise taking the common wealth by storm.

[SoulsOfWisdom]

I think I like the walls for the "idea of security". It just looks more like a well guarded settlement with walls.
