    Yeah, that problem never goes away.

    Grab those desk fans like they're going out of style.

    Takes like seventy of those damn things to craft a full set of Excavator power armor and they're involved in making mods, armor and repair of many things.

    I splurged on the new greenhouse kit for 1500 Atomic Shop caps.... I was disappointed there was no indoor plant beds to grow stuff, but overall I'm happy with my new CAMP

    I'm rather amazed they didn't include planters in that pack. They existed in F4, they exist in F76, so why are they unavailable?

    I would imagine trying to keep the proper plant in the proper planter with the appropriate "ripeness" is a difficult proposition

    Not at all. At worst it's a another line of numbers for each player in a database. Now if they're pushing the limits of what the engine/server can handle then maybe, but it's not difficult in any other sense.

    You can grow plants on the placeable campfires already, I grew corn like that 6 months ago.

    Getting planters to work should be a 10 minute job.

    Spent 200 scrip at the purveyor for the first time.

    First pull was just a pitchfork (I like the weapon but it just doesn't feel up to par outside the forest), the second was a glorious gatling plasma.

    Does more damage as it keeps firing, bonus limb damage and faster movement when aiming. Very happy.

    Wow legendary drops are incredibly rare now, even after the hotfix today. This wouldn't be so bad if so many of them weren't absolutely useless (looking at you, Stalker's melee weapons or bash damage guns). I'm not getting them at all from 1* legendary enemies now. Hopefully it's just bugged because if not, that's a bit much!

    Yeah Patch 11 is very buggy, there's a hot fix coming eventually. Btw that quest bug happened to me before, logging out then back in fixed it (though I lost progress on my Excavator armor quest and now need to get more screws again. Argggh!)

    I started playing this again a couple days ago. Forgot how fun it is. A fair bit has changed in the last few patches.

    I'm running around in what looks like a girl scout uniform, wearing a deer antler headband, and murdering things with a pickaxe. Good times. :lol:

    Looks like if you have Amazon Prime and Twitch Prime, you can buy F76 for PS4 for $15 and then get a $15 Amazon gift card.

    Edit: PS4 only, apparently, though the Xbox version is marked down, too.

    Aw damn. I hope they do that on PC so I can get in on that sweet mule action. Due to a slight miscalculation, my 2 (1 with mutations) strength character ended up with 2500 lead on her inventory on top of the 100 stimpaks she already had.

    I'm not a hoarder I just...like...to hoard things.

    You'll always have to end up sacrificing one of your babies in the end, man.

    Its the worst if you're a fan of heavy weapons.

    I reinstalled Fallout 4 and all of the DLC on my PS4 last night and I'm planning to do another Brotherhood of Steel survival playthrough. The last one I did was awesome, but a few critical glitches prevented me from completing ... honestly, a fucking lot of the content I wanted to see. So I'm gonna start again from the beginning and try to avoid those bugs wherever possible. This time around, I'm going to try and avoid a lot of the weapons I think are overpowered (Old Faithful cheesed the shit out of my last run), and stick as close to the BoS theme as possible (Power Armor, Super Sledges, etc). It's been a while since I've last played. I can remember finding some Brotherhood mods for the PC last time, just stuff that opened up more of their armor in the quartermaster, stuff like that, but that also gave BoS members armor and paint jobs according to their proper ranks. Is there anything like that for the PS4 available that you guys know about? Any tips for this run through, especially if they're geared toward making it more challenging?

    For heavy weapons you need a heavy weapons spec so you end up with 15 strength anyway. Especially when you user power armor to go with it (which you should because of the stabilized perk). Having such high strength and intelligence allows you to reduce ammo and chem weights to practically nothing, so you can carry an absurd amount around with you in order to keep your stash free. Really compared to my sneaky sniper, my heavy weapons dude has FAR less trouble with weight. Properly decked out rifles can weight upwards of 20 and when you're carrying around 2 or 3 of those plus some ammo it adds up way too fast. My heavy weapons dude, by comparison, carries a Gatling Gun of 7.2 (90% weight reduction legendary), and HMG of 20.7. And that's with no weight reduction perks.

    Outside of heavy weapon builds though yeah there is no room to keep them around at all. But that's true of most weapons.

    Put in a ticket weeks ago asking if it was okay to keep using a legendary I found and grew fond of since it seemed to be duplicating ammo on corpses. I stuck it in my stash for fear of reprisal with all the banning that went on in the past over stuff like that and hadn't taken it out since. No reply yet.

    I miss my baby. ;_;

    It's fine, they did the same thing in Fallout 4. It's not like you can vendor the extras or anything.

    I used a flechette harpoon gun for awhile and nothing bad happened. Go forth and enjoy!

    I'm gonna keep playing it safe for now and keep it locked up.

    Spent too much time on this character for it to get wiped over a couple of spare harpoons.

    There's something crazy satisfying about fighting your way through the Museum of Freedom, all the way up to where the Minutemen (or what's left of them) are holed up on the top floor, then just walking into the room, grabbing the Perception Bobblehead, and walking straight out the other side. Preston starts talking to you, expressing his gratitude, then just says, "Wait, you're just gonna leave?"

    I love the idea of walking in, giving Preston Garvey the middle finger, and then leaving. Because fuck Preston Garvey.

    This run's gonna be awesome.

    According to the quakecon panel, it sounds like they might be bringing back the generic raiders you can shoot at indiscriminately in the wild (in addition to the faction one you can join).

    Rad weapons aren't useless anymore in 76. Yessss.
