i was reading some stuff on settlement attacks and theyre randomized. enemies can come from any direction, and also they can actually spawn inside of your base walls, shits fucked. i thought about making guard towers around sanctuary basically make it like a big rectangle prison with towers on each corner, and was YouTubing shit and saw this video and holy fuck lol this is a way better idea. I just built a small one of these with 12 total heavy machine gun turrets at one of my water bases and cant wait to get attacked, and to unlock missile turrets

gotta go back and read some pages to see what are the main things i need like how the purifier gets you adhesive
go to Grayditch or whatever its called with the robots farming, then steal all their food then plant it at sanctuary. then sleep a couple days til it regrows then pick it all and plant it all again and keep doing that till you got like 12-100 of each plant at each settlement, eventually youll start collecting hundreds of them at a time and can keep making the vegetable starch, which you drop on the ground and scrap into 5 adhesive each

just do whatever is the most fun, there doesnt seem to be a right or wrong way to advance. i feel like i couldve advanced just as much or maybe more if i were just exploring the map killing everything i see and constantly scavenging. im kinda burnt out on the settlement stuff right now i might just start exploring more and only build one "ultimate" perfect base. i thought that establishing a trade route with all bases automatically brought stuff from all settlements to your main settlement but it seems like you still have to manually go to each one and collect everything, kinda messed up my plans of having a huge line of "feeder" settlements scrapping stuff and feeding it to my main base lol. its still good to link the bases up so you have all the resources from your main base inside your workbench to build whatever you want wherever but i thought it did more

i dunno i thought it was a thing for some reason lol. maybe itll get modded in
If u can think of it I'm sure there will be a mod for it.

Not that it concerns you, but I'm curious to see how mods are implemented on consoles. I think it's pretty cool and ambitious to actually bring it to the ps4/Xbox. I'm sure there will be some sort of process (has to be proven to work on PC for x amount of time, etc) before and some cool ones will be left out, but still, pretty sweet.

The main thing I want is a coherent way to know what kind of armor your about to loot, the naming structure is all out of whack once any type of mod is involved. Took me a while to realize their are three tiers to armor.

So for example, take leather armor.

Regular
Sturdy
Heavy

This is removed when a mod is involved, so say it's a heavy chest piece. The mod is lead. So now its Leaded chest piece. So u have no idea if it's heavy or sturdy armor now, only way to find out is to literally put it on and wear it.

Isn't there an "inspect" button for consoles? on the PC it's X, and it pulls up the full item info including what mods are on it. I kept getting confused about the "Sniper Rifle" like WTF doesn't a .50cal exist? thats the whole reason why I have fuckin 9 perception going on 10, to snipe a ton of shit. then i realized a lot of "Sniper Rifles" were actually just Hunting Rifles but once you put a big scope on it it'll say like "blank Sniper Rifle" even though its a hunting rifle. I don't know if I've ever even seen a Sniper Rifle or if they've all been hunting rifles lol. I'm either looking for a "Hunting Rifle" that I can mod a .50 cal receiver onto, it seems like some you can't or maybe i was just stoned. Then put a Scope on it and I'm almost positive it'll say like ".50 Cal Sniper Rifle" even though its a modded hunting rifle. That, or maybe there is an actual "Sniper Rifle" that you can mod a .50 cal receiver i don't fuckin know, you're right its fucked lol

Yeah you can inspect it, but it doesn't show if it's heavy or not. Check it out next time you pick up a "legendary leaded deep pocketed leather left arm". No where does it say heavy (only if there are no mods).

.50 cal sniper is my shit. It's a standard rifle but with .50 receiver modded.

Edit, I see u figured it out.

i dunno i must be doing something wrong i barely see any items with stars next to them. i found a couple arm pieces and they looked weaker than what i was wearing, but one had -15% damage from humans the other -15% damage from super mutants, and they were nonupgraded so after upgrading them theyre good. no idea if theyre heavy or light or whatever i just looked at the stats lol
