Plus on block.
I feel like this settlement shit is important but I could really care less about it. Tina Toecutter(yeah that's what I went with, and Codsworth says it) isn't the type to stop drop settle down open up shop.

Put switch on outside wall
Connect switch to generator
Make sure switch is on

Holy shit, I went to Forest Grove Marsh at night and it was the most terrifying thing ever. I'm just walking like hmm this town is abandoned, guess it'll be easy lootings. Then I just hear the splish-splash of water and realize there's ghouls climbing out of the ground all around me.

Only way I'll build anything is after I beat it - just to build a settlement in Forest Grove - and to see how it does at night.

I made it to Radiation-Land and was all set to make a run for it to get back. That would have been stupid instead of using Quick Travel.

All too easy...
Found the sickest melee weapon and the sneak bobblehead in the same place. Its a ritual sacrifice blade that does bleed and poison damage over time that stacks. Not spoiling the location though

I found an interesting thing so I'll re-post it here. This is basically a cheat so use it at your own discretion.
For PC players, if you want to get pretty much an infinite amount of crafting materials instantly you can use this. I guess it's nice for people who want to build their settlements without having to run around and gather resources like trees.

1. Open up a text document and paste the following into it.

tgm
player.additem 001BF72D 100000; Acid
player.additem 001BF72E 100000; Adhesive
player.additem 0006907A 100000; Aluminum
player.additem 001BF72F 100000; Antiseptic
player.additem 000AEC5C 100000; Asbestos
player.additem 000AEC5B 100000; Ballistic Fiber
player.additem 000AEC5D 100000; Bone
player.additem 000AEC5E 100000; Ceramic
player.additem 0006907B 100000; Circuitry
player.additem 000AEC5F 100000; Cloth
player.additem 00106D99 100000; Concrete
player.additem 0006907C 100000; Copper
player.additem 000AEC60 100000; Cork
player.additem 0006907D 100000; Crystal
player.additem 001BF730 100000; Fertilizer
player.additem 00069087 100000; Fiber Optics
player.additem 000AEC61 100000; Fiberglass
player.additem 0006907E 100000; Gears
player.additem 00069085 100000; Glass
player.additem 000AEC62 100000; Gold
player.additem 000AEC63 100000; Lead
player.additem 000AEC64 100000; Leather
player.additem 00069086 100000; Nuclear Material
player.additem 001BF732 100000; Oil
player.additem 0006907F 100000; Plastic
player.additem 00106D98 100000; Rubber
player.additem 00069081 100000; Screw
player.additem 000AEC66 100000; Silver
player.additem 00069082 100000; Spring
player.additem 000731A4 100000; Steel
player.additem 000731A3 100000; Wood

2. Once you've pasted everything, save the document to your Fallout 4 directory and close it. Then change the file extention from a .txt to a .bat file. Don't run the bat file, you'll do that ingame.
3. Open up Fallout and get ingame. Press the ~ key to open up the console screen and type "bat <FILENAME>" without the quotations or brackets.
  • The file will run all the commands at the same time and give you every material listed in the quantity listed. TGM is "Toggle God Mode" which will allow you to have infinite carry weight.
  • The <FILENAME> part of the bat command is just whatever you named the document. If you named it buffquan then you would type "bat buffquan" without the quotations.
4. Once you've crafted what you want and don't want to be invincible anymore, open the console again and type TGM to remove godmode
  • Make sure you dump all your crafting materials into a workshop beforehand or else you'll be overburdened and won't be able to move.

Power to the people!
Pylons (any conduit) only effect light sources within a "1 block" radius. One conduit in the middle floor of a 3 story building can power the "1 block" radius of all three floors. (I may be completely wrong, though)

1) What do things like terminals do at a settlement? What's the point of a guard stand if no one stands in it??

2) How do you create new houses? Do you destroy the run down ones and build from scratch? What's the best way to do this?

3) What do you plug in to a generator other than the radio tower?

4) Do enemies ever attack your town or does it stay crisp? Have you gotten anything for rebuilding?


I've only minimally done the rebuilding stuff. Seemed like a lot so I hit the wasteland. Much appreciated if you know these questions!

If you've gone to diamond city and have been asked to find valentine. you need to go in the middle of a city

theres a place called swan's pond with a floating swan. a raider is triggered to run towards it because inside the swan is a gatling laser, you need to run and get it first or else you've pretty much dead.

1.
Terminals allow you to toggle and/or modify electronics that are connected. You need to assign a person to the guard points. The guard points add some defense. One person can handle 3 guard points

2.
Start by putting down a foundation (in the wooden floor section). After that, you can start adding walls and such.

3.
Some security stuff, water filters, and you need generators to do all the electronic stuff. Water filters are a huge source of income for me, so generators are essential.

4.
I have been attacked, but the raids are very easy to handle. They're pretty rare, too. And what do you mean by rebuilding?

Thanks a lot man!

For 1), how do you assign someone to a post? I didn't an option.

4) I meant like do you get any sorts of bonuses for rebuilding settlements, making them happier, etc, or is it just for "the fun of the game"?

You select the person in "build mode" and then select an outpost.
Making buildings doesn't have any direct benefit. It is pretty fun, though.
