^You were asking earlier about weights- there is a set up at the Atom Cats garage involving a normal wooden bench and it looks like the yellow lighting rigs which looks alright. Also plenty of weights lying around too.

I've seen that and I agree that it looks OK, but I can't find that spotlight stand in my building menus. I can't even click on it in the console to get an ID I could use to magically create it.

Also do you use Northland Digger's mod? If not, I would highly recommend it. Think it would be right up your street!

I chose not to because it generates resources and I decided to get them only in ways available in the vanilla game.

I finished the Automatron dlc yesterday. I think it is a really good little dlc, with more content than I expected. Be nice if all of the workshop dlc added as much as this, but unfortunately it doesn't look like it will.

The final fight was a nightmare on survival though. Had to do the trick with taking all your drugs and then an addictol to get through it!

I'm having an irritating time with places in my settlements that are clearly interiors being wet when it's raining and presumably not qualifying as shelter in the context of a bed. These are rooms wholly inside concrete buildings, so neither the walls nor the ceilings are made of the metal sheets with holes in (and the ceilings aren't roofs - there are other storeys above them).

Is there anything that can be done about this?

No, I don't think there is (this bugs me as well), however doesn't seem to affect the settlers "happiness"

I only just discovered the mod 'Scrap Everything', and I spent ages clearing up Red Rocket which is my main base, and pretty large settlement. I scrapped all of the leaves and vines etc, which gives you fertilizer. I then used that to make over 200 Jet, which I sold on....Then it hit me- I'm basically role-playing as the biggest drug-lord in the world!

I've not modded Fallout 4 and have never seen a modding thread on here. I have one quick question: are CTDs a thing on this engine?

mod conflicts/missing causing ctds yes.

ram limit usage that was a major cause in skyrim probably no due to the 64 bit engine

 

[MichaelAwkward]

but it would be so world-changing that it would rule out Fallout 5 as a similar game unless Bethesda declare the whole building thing to be non-canonical.

Why? As far as I can see, whilst the games do follow one another (4 being a decade after 3, 6 years after NV), they don't interact at all storyline wise - nobody in the Commonwealth seems to be aware of Capital Wasteland or the events in the Mojave. Whilst building a vault is a bit far fetched, it's not a storyline DLC.

Heh, that's what I do. I usually put on attire that raises intelligence, sleep and take some mentats before making jet in massive batches, every little xp helps

Not played FO4 since I started getting nagged about settlements, so just left it and played something else.

Now that I've finished the other games, is there any way to automate settlements as I have zero interest in crafting so I can get back into simply shooting things and advancing the story?

As far as I know, there is no automated way to do the settlements. But you can just ignore the settlement messages if you don't want to do them, they not mandatory for the quest to process as far as I know. Not sure how far you played earlier but you could even pass Concord and not rescue Preston and the rest if you don't want to. Although, would mean one less faction but up to you.

Ive just started F04 again to bench my new GTX 1080.

Ive not played since April and there has been the new 1.5 patch with survivor mod

I cannot seem to switch off v-sync, i still have iPresentInterval=0 in both my ini files and its turned off in both my Nvidia driver and in my enb.

Any other ideas what is forcing it to 60fps. I don't actually think its got Vsync on as i am still seeing screen tearing even with a solid 60fps

I'm up to level 30 so far on this playthrough and no settlements for me

I rescued Preston and co. from the museum and let them go on their merry way. I then set up shop in the Red Rocket and have had no contact with them since.

@TheSwede+rids57,

Thanks.

All bobbleheads collected on a stand
All magazines collected on 7 stands (except for 2 which could not be collected due to a building exploding & not completing another quest before the end game). Took about 30 hours to get the magazines alone but it helps to unlock several locations which you might otherwise miss. Now up to 320 locations in the main game & 39 in Far Harbour but I read there are still a few more locations to find this game has an insane amount of content but as the map is so dense in places it takes a long time to discover some locations.
Bobbleheads + magazines from scratch is around 30-40 hours following a guide as well due to how hard some are to retrieve & or deep in the location they are hidden. But if you want to find some unique locations its worth doing

Agreed

I have my magazines and bobbleheads in the main library I built in Sanctuary. The bobbleheads will go in the museum I'm going to build there, along with the notes and unique items I found. I'm the founder of the new commonwealth, so I deserve a museum to my awesomeness. I've nearly finished with my market town in County Crossing. I just need to sort out the gym and showers and neaten up the farm and the workshop hanger area. Then maybe build the pool hall. Then I'll go back to working on Sanctuary.

I'm still missing a few magazines, though. I lost some to a bug related to settlers hammering. Some magazines fell off a display shelf and disappeared. There's a few more I haven't found, probably in the glowing sea.

I'm going to use a mod which attaches the issue number to the magazine name. That will make it easier to know which ones I'm missing.

This game has cost me pennies per hour of entertainment. Well, unless you count the £500 I'm going to spend on upgrading my PC which has been spurred largely by poor performance in complex settlements in Fallout 4

I use Spring Cleaning, which does the same thing but was the first such mod to not cause the cell reset bug.

My new commonwealth initially relied on the income from my huge drug manufacturing and dealing. Thousands of doses of Jet (I cleaned every settlement, even the whole of Spectacle Island) funded the purchase of materials for the initial settlement buildings and defences.

This is the guide I used its fairly accurate but the game miscounts so I have a few more magazines than the stats counter says: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Fallout_4_perk_magazines#Perk_magazines

Wayyyyyyy to much free time

Free time is freedom. It's life. There's no such thing as too much of it.

Of course, how a person uses their free time is up to them. If they want to use it gardening or reading or watching TV or knitting or building a project car or studying ancient Greek literature or conducting scientific research or whatever, good for them. I like to use it playing games that entertain me.
