[Fallout] You can safely store junk in your settlement. Tips for the OP? @ me!
I can't fucking wait for the first mod to show a listing of available settlement resources (wood, steel, circuits, whatever), and a listing of which settlers are assigned to what. Even just having randomised names for them instead of generic "Settler" labels would help.
I've been giving settlers uniforms depending on function (Covenant armour+security helmet for guards looks quite cool, and flannels for the farmers), but organisation is still annoying.
How long, on average, does it take before the game is patched to fix major bugs? Also I wish there was some sort of indicator for what level you should be for a quest.
I'm actually super glad there isn't. It's way fun stumbling into something slightly too hard to be sensible.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
1) is Idiot Savant worth it for someone at Luck 4 not planning to invest any more in luck?
early game
2) What is the deal with that village with like 5-6 named ghouls who attack you? It's a tough fight, but they attack on sight and I didn't get any notice of a failed quest
General consensus is that Idiot Savant is always worth it.

Holy crap, watched a vertibird drop two brotherhood power armour dudes on a roof, they begin fighting supermutants who are camped opposite the building in like a towering construction site, as the vertibird flies away a rocket takes it out. Then I watch as the brotherhood soldiers gun down the mutants surrounded by the burning wreckage of their vertibird.
Found out during the Railroad quest "Boston After Dark". I'd cleared out the church and the agent had come for the pick up, and we'd set off to clear the way. Then my game crashed. Turns out, it reliably crashes when entering a seemingly circular area of the city. I finished the quest using console commands, but it looks like the game still crashes when I go in that area. I don't particularly want to have to use the console to finish every single quest that goes in this area, so I'm guess I'm just sitting here waiting for either a patch or a mod (more likely) to fix it, because this is fucking stupid.

Is this the Slog? You might be bugged I didn't have that at all.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
One thing I wish would happen with supply runs is one settlement being able to supply another. Like there are some settlements that have a shit ton of food but not good water and vica versa, be nice if they could help each other.

Oh, fuck you too, Preston.
Clear out a quarry of asshole raiders who apparently get their kicks by literally burning people alive in cages. I started the fight by popping the fusion core of the head raider's power armor, forcing them out. Wipe everybody out. Take the power armor back to base.
Then Preston gets pissy because I swap one of the chunks of power armor off the one I just got onto my own armor; for whatever stupid reason, the armor is marked as "owned" even though I killed everybody it knew. For one thing, IT ISN'T THEFT IF THE OWNER IS DEAD. Second, she was an asshole raider. No wonder your Minutemen got smoked, Preston, if they get upset about taking the gear of literal psychotic murderers.

Thanks all.. It was in fact due to the Corvega Plant gears being Gears not gears. Everything worked out. Just in time too. I had two turrets up just as a legendary supermutant came over the hill.

I had to get a quest item from a safe and couldn't get the guy to give it to me through speech challenges, too poor to bribe him, so theft was the only option.
She was happy when I opened the safe, but as soon as I took the flagged item she got mad.
Like lady, I've got a job to do. I didn't take anything else, chill out.

That does happen, or at least loading tips say so.
I'm getting tired of failing assistance missions to colonies since the win flag never tics. I hope "failing" doesn't hurt me too much.
Just build a lot of turrets.
Settlements with a high defense don't get attacked
I'm not so certain about that... Sunshine Co-op is my highest defense settlement, around 60 or so and it has been the only one to be attacked in my game so far, multiple times.

Blew the head off an enemy, when I go to loot his body it's still standing there doing it's idle animations. Swaying a bit as it stands, sometimes moving a cig up to it's non-existent mouth.
Secrets, lies, and tragedy. The trifecta.

I've got Piper up to what I think is maximum like, but whenever I get the option to suggest a romance she turns me down. It's a yellow option and I have 6 charisma. Is it too low?
The only other thing I can think of is maybe she sees my wedding ring.

Answer
The colored choices are checks - in this case, Charisma. Yellow is the "easiest", but it's still possible to fail. Reload and try again.
I haven't done a complete test of this but I think having power armor on will let you breathe underwater. You're just moving very slowly and have to walk on the bottom instead of swim.

Basically F5 at the start of every conversation.
Also take off your armor, and put on your +charisma clothes. If there is a check that you fail, reload and use some grape mentats.

Surprisingly, the junk item "gear" and the base level crafting component "gears" are completely separate. "gear" breaks down into steel.
Edit
@'d the wrong person. Sorry fondor.

Hehe.
Hi, Swan.
Imagining how that works, I leave as an exercise to the reader.
Also quest spoilers for the OG Ironsides (which was a child hood favorite of mine since I read a book about the USS Constitution).

I use my Power Armor all the time. There are way too many places with enemies above your level. Unless of course you're the sneaky agility type.
It means you are about to run out of juice. The game will auto-insert a fusion core if you have one.
But hey, buggy bethesda games an I right?

Some people just refuse to let go. . .
And that was when I found some just as I aggro'd a big supermutant camp.
It was too serendipitous not to do.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.

It's very useful as a melee amplifier. You can get point blank with super mutants and start bashing them to bits, or use heavy weapons.

Is there more info on this? There seemed to be some hints of something at the cambridge police station but I couldn't really figure it out.

The CHA bonus applies to settler pop cap
Even if you're at 10 CHA, so you can go above 20 settlers
