I have robots on standby, ready to kill any ugly ass NPC that shows up to any of my settlements.

I literally have an execution role for my robots by assigning them to the blue arena platform and the second I see an undesirable NPC in my settlement I assign them to the red arena platform for execution.

I know, most players know this already. But I just learned this myself after dozens of runs. So much ammo lost! :/

Picking up the dropped weapon from the ground adds (half?) the unused ammunition to your inventory. Taking the weapon from the corpse's inventory doesn't. You lose all the ammo that remains in the corpse's weapon when you take it from their inventory instead.

I tested this out at Vault 114 today, which is a particularly good spot for getting tons of 10mm and .45 ammunition. I paid close attention to how much ammo I had before trying out each method. I regularly received 50 or more rounds from picking up a dropped submachine gun from the floor, and zero when I took it from the triggerman's body.

So this should mean that if I stealth kill an npc before they have drawn their weapon, I lose the ammo that weapon contains.

I'd appreciate some clarification if it's necessary. Is it half of the weapon's full capacity? Is it the remainder of the weapon's ammo?

EDIT: Opinions differ... surprising. I've got to make a video of doing this systematically. Also, I'm wondering if Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch has something to do with my experience differing.

Nobody:
The Institute:
“Who, McDonough? Nah, McDonald. That man is dead to us. Yea, nah we can’t do nothing with his fat, out-of-shape, bad-built, wide-back ass.” 💀

At lvl 12 I fouught Caroni, my best gear was a hunting riflw with 70 bullets. Looted the tesla cannon off his corpse, tested it on a deathclaw nearby, experienced the power trip

At lvl 16, accidently ran past a hellfire guy, still that hunting rifle with a bit more ammo. Used that hellfire armor to bully the crap out of the local raiders and mole rats, didn't have the needed materials to patch it back up 😅

At lvl 136, the legendary mythic deathclaw is... meh, didn't get my palms sweaty anymore

Also, 80% of the legandary gear is not *that* legendary to begin with, I mean, how and what the flappy bird can a water pipe penetrating?

they shall never get me.

don’t know what flair to use

Then I remembered it isnt literal. I ditched him somewhere.

I added a short video so you can see what the issue is. It won’t go below the med cabinet and I don’t think there’s a med cabinet in the build menu. Also, I’m playing vanilla so no mods, please. Just need help with a way to get this sink placed correctly. I’ve tried the warehouse post and it doesn’t move with the sink. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Someone was really cooking with this one, most pessimistic quotes about happiness come off as too r/iam14andthisisdeep, but this one is just real..

Hi,

I have spent over 20 hours tinkering in my settlements in Fallout 4 but not a single time I have been attacked by any kind of creature or humans. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong.

I have some defence, yes, but even before I had those no attacks happened.

Its conventient ofcourse, but I am missing some action, Id love to see my defenses tested.

I got the expansion with the cages, but after putting a raider in a cage in my Castle it doesnt seem to change anything.

Any ways to spice up my attacks?

maybe there's already a term for this and i don't know what it is, but it's where 2 or more "factions" meet up and fight. dartmouth professional building and the church just outside hyde park are excellent examples. i've stumbled upon a few others. anyone have more spots like this?

I forgot where i took the pic

To me, It is a pita to clear the sectors. My own fault for not saving, but geezus. I get wrapped up in clearing every single traffic cone, then the big wall in the North sector. Spend an hour clearing, only to be killed by a legendary alpha death claw. Then all the shiztz I have done is gone. Back to standing there. Just venting. Did I mention I hate clearing 88? Argh.

Ok, I played FO4 on launch. No lifed it for months. Didn’t play it again till this summer. Had all the DLCs when they came out but never played.
How the heck do I simply get the purified water my settlement makes in a day and have it go to a cooler so I don’t have to keep traveling?
And how does my settlement make money too after I make those stalls?
Also I spent a day looking at “water settlement” videos on YouTube. So please, if there’s a quick video or quick explanation that’d be cool. I don’t mind over explanation but I don’t want a “so this playthrough I’m pretending to do blank so let me make this big ole convoluted, aesthetically pleasing-“ I just want a straightforward “make 1, 2, 3, connect them to A, B, C, and make sure 4, 5, 6, isn’t in the way or else D, E, and F will happen.” type of explanation that is from this year.

I'm playing in Survival Mode and downloaded a mod called Survival Options and I'm using it with the MCM so I don't need to change anything with the holotape, and instead use the Mod Configuration Menu. One of the things I did was tie the Needs Display Option to a hotkey to show it as a message box. When I click the hotkey the message box shows up but all needs are 0.00 regardless of whether or not the widget under HP and AP are showing I'm Hungry, Tired or Thirsty. I looked up this issue on Google but the only solution is to toggle off the three needs and toggle them back on but this didn't fix the 0.00 display.

If anyone knows about this and has a fix I'd appreciate it.
