You showed us your best Fallout 4 settlements

PCgamer:

"Last week we asked you to show us the Fallout 4 settlements you'd built, and you all delivered in wonderful, post-apocalyptic glory! We sorted through all of them (and there were quite a few) and pulled out some of our favorites to feature here. Some of you proudly declared no mods were used, others did use mods, but most didn't specify, so I decided to include them all. Either way, you can find them sorted by each creator's Disqus username."

These are nice, but I could never work on settlements myself for any extended period of time. Just takes the life out the game for me.

Im the same way, I just try to keep people happy I dont build much at all except what I have to. I love that its there and how good it is especially with mods.

My problem with the settlements is that the people there are bloody useless. I've lost track of how many times people have been kidnapped from Abernathy and tenpines.

They aren't useless, you can make money off them as well as make them generate a bunch of supplies. Start connecting them and growing them and soon you'll be beyond wealthy. While having all the supplies to sell for more money, upgrade stuff, or build more.

I've been beyond wealthy since very early on in the game just from Sanctuary alone. I built a massive amount of water processing and now I'm sitting there with something like 40k caps and 8000 clean water in storage waiting to be sold if needed. But I don't really have anything to buy. I rarely buy anything, I just sell stuff.

I've built up the rest of the settlements but I can't be bothered collecting all the stuff, I've already got several hundreds of every kind of produce in storage just at my home base and more resources than I know what to do with.

It actually improves the game by miles especially the end game. I've already explored most things after 70 hours. Now I'll be trying to upgrade every single settlement to max. Now that puts the gameplay to be far more hours. And I really enjoy doing so.

What it improves is the ability to role play as a leader. Only thing is like to add is the ability to make your settlments into a raider group. Maybe dlc? I'm hoping.

It also enhances the economy aspects of the game and the role of charisma. Which I would ussually ignore that stat.

Wow, my settlement pales in comparison, thats crazy.

damn.... must be on PC. On console I'm constantly scrounging for metal and trying to distribute things evenly between my settlements. Plus my limit is 19 settlers atm so skyscrapers arent exactly practical.

also there is a limit to how much you can build in a settlement, at least on Xbox.

[nowitzki2004]

Yeah there is a limit in the game I am not sure what it is but its on all versions. On PC there is a mod that lets you build more.
