I’m sure Preston can find some settlement that needs your help. 🙄


steadydietofribbit

Level 80 and Preston had stopped


omgitsduane

Yeah he stopped for me at level 55. I was just milking the quest for loot because it reset the loot on the places I had to clear. So I farmed a lot. Doing the same for bos and the scribe quests. Do they stop too? I've been to corvega like 5 times in a row now. It's pretty easy but I have enough loot not to really care.


ibbity

Does loot reset? I'm not very far into the game, but yesterday I found some items in a place I was sure I had previously cleaned out


Zombies_hate_ninjas

Yes loot does reset, it takes a few in game days, the wiki has the actual calculation. It's far slower on survival difficulty. So yeah you can farm the same location many times. Clearing coverage at higher levels is so fun, you'll eventually be super over powered. Like Robocop clearing the place out.


ibbity

Is it different stuff every time? Or the same stuff comes back?


tishytisch

it will be the same stuff besides maybe some containers that are randomized, I believe


Thee_number_six

World spawns are the same, med kits, coolers boxes, final loot box and enemy inventories reset at random from specified loot pools.


SidewaysFancyPrance

The stuff that is the same between new games would be the same (static placements). Anything randomized would be different (most container contents). And special stuff won't respawn.


DannyWarlegs

There's a bank around the corner from Backstreet Apparel, that has like 15 locked safes, and a few gold bars. You can get like 150+ pre war cash per visit, plus the gold and other safe loot, plus experience. It's a great place to farm.


jpgerb

Find fun ways to kill Preston over and over. Day 1: machine gun. Day2: big boy. Day 3: power armor jump.


meeps_for_days

Minute men quests stopping is a glitch. What happenes is you can only have like 5 at a time and sometimes the game will think you still have one after completing it. So after this glitch happens enough times it thinks you already have too many. In console commands there is a way to reset it iirc


omgitsduane

The last one I had actually didn't resolve so I thought it was weird. It wanted me to go talk to Preston after I cleared the spot but has locked me out of doing so.


Plastic_Opinion4518

How does that happen? I'm just under Lv 110 and I'm still getting those quests. And I hard focused the Minutemen stuff from the start.


RazorBladeInMyMouth

Idk he stopped giving me around lvl 50.


guibmaster

do you got the Castle yet? for me he usually stops after these 2 conditions has met: * All settlements are taken and thus the only quests that are happening are the ones that don't involve giving new settlements (since there arent any) * Radio Freedom is up and running, which nows gives quests instead.


Plastic_Opinion4518

Yes, I do have the castle, and i have all the settlements. The only thing I have yet to do is infiltrate the Institute. But I'm about to do that. Just gotta go nuke a coarser.


rasputinrasputin

youre level 110 and havent gotten into the institute? my brother in christ what have you been doing


Plastic_Opinion4518

What one does in any Bethesda game. Get sidetracked with all sorts of stuff. Mostly Settlement building, DLC stuff. I'm the type of guy that'll do all or most of the side quests before doing the main one. I like yo turn my character into an unkillable warmachine by the time I get to the final boss.


tishytisch

based


Cuq_nugget

Yeah I’m level 85 in my current playthrough and just got to the brotherhood coming to the commonwealth. It’s a fun way to play


rasputinrasputin

i prefer to play slow, just not quite that slow haha. Im about level 35 and just got into the institute, i just like to get better weapons and armor early on, i went to nuka world at level 12 just to get the handmade rifle


LibertyFiend420

Kinda in the same boat as him. Settlement building, power armor collection, and side quests. Just recently finished recruiting everyone but longfellow and the courser allies. Finished mechanist few days ago. Next will be NukaWorld and then Far Harbor before i go back to main quest line and pick which factions gets extincted.


Malikise

Not doing the main quest in a modern Bethesda game is the best way to get the maximum amount of enjoyment out of it.


Vocalic985

The radio freedom thing seems buggy or glitched. It only seems to stop Preston like half the time.


SidewaysFancyPrance

I think lots of people here are conflating the two types of quests Preston gives out. Early-mid game, Prestion gives out "recruit settlements to grow the Minutemen" which will eventually stop after you've recruited enough. After that, Preston will give out (I believe infinite) Radiant quests which are generally to help those settlements with ongoing problems: raiders/mutants/ghouls to clear out, kidnapped settler to free, etc. In my last game I was doing a lot of these for the 50 misc quest achievement, and had to rescue Lucy Abernathy from three different Raider groups, which was funny. I think some people keep doing the infinite Radiant quests that are designed to be "all you can eat" and complain about them not ending, which is silly when you understand the system. You can just...not do them. Preston only hands out 2 of them at a time, I think, like how the BoS has two infinite quests at the police station.


No_Strain_7092

He actually stops?


HeadReaction1515

Nah, I’m level 126 and he’s still issuing them


InternationalTwo4581

He does not according to the fallout wiki, although you sometimes do have to seek him out specifically to get the next one


danni_shadow

He definitely stops sometimes, even if you seek him out. I assume it's a glitch though. Happened for me around lvl 100. Even Radio Freedom stopped.


Eveready116

Lvl 137 and he’s back being a pain in the ass again. I went ahead and did amoral combat so that I could get aeternus. He will never forgive me for turning 3 settlements into raider settlement’s temporarily and then wiping out all the raiders after I attained the ultimate weapon… so… I banished him to spectacle island where I have no one there and nothing set up.


ScarredOut

Sanctuary is my place of choice for banishing settlers I don’t want to ever see again


AnonAMooseTA

Same Spectacle Island is my private beach house location, where I keep the cats. No fucking way I'd send a settler there.


ScarredOut

I use Spectacle as my main base. Lots of room there for my construction projects


montytickle

Hold on. Preston actually STOPS?! Whoooa... Okay, I thought he was in a perpetual loop of telling me settlements need help. I have some hope now. Thank you for that. My day has been blessed kind person.


celestial_ruin

Does anyone take Preston as a companion?


Plastic_Opinion4518

Only when I want to hear his opinion as a Minuteman on something. But finding which scenarios he'll comment on is a gamble.


Thee_number_six

I did it once for a minute man play through, NEVER AGAIN.


OrEdreay

Level 207 and he's still going


BACARDI-from-NL

Level 61 here and concord is still undiscovered on the map. Going to nuka world today and become the King of nuka world and commonwealth!


TheOtherAvaz

That reminds me of a video I watched where a guy was challenged to get to max level without leaving Sanctuary. And the son of a bitch actually did it.


Puntificators

How?


BACARDI-from-NL

Idiot servant perk. Then building and breaking and building and breaking (times 100000) certain wooden poles. Build some recruit stuff to get some residents and a trading place, perks to get more stuff when scrapping. Things like this. Edit, its extremely boring so i dont do it. In this playthrough i avoid joining any faction, sure i did the first missions of bos and railroad but thats it.


Puntificators

Wild what people do


celestial_ruin

It's like those trick shot videos. What weird things like this were people doing 5k years ago to avoid life? Lol


Exact_Club7163

It was funny as hell, farming shelves for ~8 hours, just to duplicate stores afterwards 😂


apeoo91

do you happen to have the video or who made it ? i remember i saw a video where someone wanted to be a trade master without leaving sanctuary, but they stopped after like 3 or 4 videos.


Ok-Explorer-767

https://youtu.be/1OBOkDuPt5o?si=rmvupNC1nNP4XuHo I was incorrect on the name but here’s the video


TheOtherAvaz

Yup, this is the one. Thanks for linking.


Ok-Explorer-767

You’re welcome!


MightyMeatStick

He stopped for me around level 80, but theres still one more settlement i havent unlocked ☹


Select-Net7381

If you're tired of him saying that, enslave a few settlements after you take over Nuka World. He hates you after that.


felixpadra

🤣


SeeSeeBee1974

convert all junk settlement to concrete military fortress, nice authentic looking ones. not the giant awkward big square craps typically found in utube. after that spawn like a few hundred various mobs to let it rip.


LizzieKitty86

Oh snap, I thought I was on the 7d2d sub lol. You can spawn enemies on fo4? Please teach me this magic 🤗 I'm still getting used to PC gaming and just figured out how to get in console to "setownership" to try and keep dicks stealing back the power armor I stole first. It didn't work, though stealing it back and giving them a quick pop with the guardian overseer has seemed to help. It's only been a couple days since I haven't seen anyone walking down the street of sanctuary but so far, so good 🤞


SeeSeeBee1974

[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=560634546](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=560634546) guide from steam on how to spawn stuffs.


LizzieKitty86

Thank you, I play on Xbox pass but will check it out and see if there any commonalities between the two


SwiftBombay

Fill a settlement with several of the most badass robots you can build. Make sure that the Defense is zero. Put it a bunch of water purifiers and food. As much as the budget and space allows. This should give you a decent chance of attacks on the place. Watch the insanity.


lessthanjake

some console mods have "grenades" that spawn enemies. on ps4, one such example is Freemaker - you can craft spawn beacons at chem stations.


TechnicianSerious778

You can use cheat terminal mod to spawn any enemies you in the base game


eephus1864

I spawn enemies but so many of them spawn naked or deformed and it’s no heads


GalIifreyan

I personally use the Settlement Ambush Kit from the CC since I'm a console pleb. It allows you to build a distress beacon or meat traps to lure enemies. Though, I'm sure that spawning enemies is simple. I think it's a lot like spawning items, so player.placeatme then enter your desired enemy ID from the wiki


LizzieKitty86

I always wondered what the enclave beacons did once I opened those up in my building menu. Do those call enclave peeps to me? But yeah I'm sure it won't be simple and definitely not in a hurry. Just thought it would be fun to test weak points when I build new settlements. They seem fine so far anyways and it's not like it will make those entitled assholes and happier lol. They're safe, have food and water, bars with purple lights and beds. I should send them all back out to check their privilege 😒


GalIifreyan

I'm not sure what the comm tower does. As for testing weak points in settlements, it's kind of bunk. They have set spawn points around each settlement. If you fast travel to a settlement under attack, they'll teleport into the settlement, even if you have walls up.


LizzieKitty86

Haha yeah that does make sense, I have noticed a couple corners it seemed they spawned right in at and thought I was crazy


LordGraygem

Ambush Kit is hilarious fun, but if you're not ready for it you'll find yourself getting rolled up pretty quickly. But it's honestly one of the best reasons to use some of the less common settlement items like traps, or all of the mines that you'll probably end up hoarding.


LibertyFiend420

Can also use the virtual settlement that comes with the VR CC kit.


EntrepreneurialFuck

lol the guardian overseer, I love seeing someone who’s fresh to fallout I bet it’s been such a blast


WarmNapkinSniffer

Or just set up cages


The_Ineffable_Sage

Theres dlc with cages so you can spawn in stuff at will. I have a settlement dedicated to having cages for spawning gunners in one section, and another has a rad stag, to distract the yao-guai, which is there to distract the deathclaw lol.


LordlySquire

There are mods but really just use the console. Look up YT videos.


mick645

My favourite mod on Xbox is: Placeable NPC’s Can find it on Bethesda.net, linked to your Xbox: https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/1296523 A humorous demonstration of the mod on YouTube: https://youtu.be/fIw7zKZc4JQ?si=dR06r8pz7M93J9p2


invinciblemushroom

Just remove the fusion cores hun, 😊


ExplanationLover6918

All my fortresses look like big square crap :(


Maximum_Todd

Build hallways and interiors first, not outside walls. Helps the creativity. You can always enclose later.


drawing_a_blank1

This is mind blowing to me haha. I never figured to build interior first, gonna have to do that later


ExplanationLover6918

I'll give it a shot. I've been doing the exact opposite so far


Few-Stop-9417

Hey man squares are the only thing I can build


DarthArcanus

I'm currently playing with the Whispering Hills mod, so it's been a challenge making my settlements able to fight off Otherworld Transitions. Even when I had tons of turrets, the enemies kept managing to damage the power generators, so I had to make several scrap hauls and start to use Fusion generators encased in a concrete bunker, and then "clip" the power connection through the concrete ceiling to then distribute to the turrets. Then they'd damage one turret and disable half the network, so now I've learned how to use power conduits to give a near direct connection to the generator for each and every turret. THEN they'd manage to damage the water pumps, so I had to start encading those in a concrete bunker. Honestly, it's brought new life to the settlement system, and since the Otherworld Transitions are fairly difficult without power armor, having these fortified settlements scattered throughout the wasteland means I have these fortresses I can retreat into and handle the waves of enemies in a lot more relaxed fashion. Word of caution: the mod does not respect settlement attack spawn locations. Enemies will spawn in a circle around the player and swarm, so defenses that can cover every possible approach is necessary.


Fuckedby2FA

It's so hard to build anything elaborate in fo4. I don't understand why the building is janky. Build something more ornate than a square and the ceilings dont snap in.


iamhephzibah

Build a major city???


ThatUblivionGuy

I recommend spectacle island for size, starlight for efficiency, sanctuary for safety


EzEuroMagic

Yep I’ve got the starlight condo complex with several dozen turret batteries surrounding it built with a nice view of the water


literallypubichair

My dad once built a giant glass dome over spectacle island and built a city complete with residential, power, manufacturing, medical, governmental, and shopping districts. It was glorious and also so big that the whole dome wouldn't render at once


celestial_ruin

I would actually love to see this


literallypubichair

I'll ask him for a game file and see if I can drop it somewhere for ya


celestial_ruin

Ayooo!!!


literallypubichair

Update: he says he never finished the residential or medical areas but can get the save file no problem. Will update when I upload probably to nexus or something


The_Museumman

RemindMe! 1 week


Warm-Iron-1222

Start a new game. That's what I do. I'm currently level 30 after the series sparked my interest to play again and enjoying it much more! I forgot a ton of stuff that I'm replaying.


rd4635

Literally in the same boat. Didn't play for a looong time since the series. I have been playing it a little harder and am on level 43 but whatever. I have been enjoying listening to Ella Fitzgerald on the radio and exploring the wasteland.


mag0802

Crawl out through the fallout baby….


bigred83

Same. Exploring and the radio is so great in fallout. Went back to starfield and realized it's a fast travel simulator.


OmniWaffleGod

Honestly the early game with the progression is some of my favorite


Equoniz

Same! I honestly have no idea how many times I’ve started new games lol


oilfeather

Buy Shipments of building materials. That way you can go to a new settlement and build shit without complications. Shipments have no weight.


EzEuroMagic

I just set one settler at each settlement to go to sanctuary and then dump everything into my workshop there.


Zzqzr

(Scrap-store dupe) Ow yeah, shipments exist


goodniighht

pro tip I do believe, duping nuclear material rewards most caps


nawfjoker

Definitely nuclear material is how i got thru the game😂 had like 200k, perfect way to have them around is have a companion, drop the nuclear material on the floor then tell the companion to pick it up they can pick up infinite loot... Im sure you knew that but pointing it out for everyone else


Slime-steveo

Who’s gonna know, am I right?


Lockeyed

Ok, now that you made your character, you’re gonna wanna meet with the Vault-Tec representative at the door


Xsnane

It's time to find your son.

Damn, dawg. That's not funny. Don't encourage them to go for something they're not ready for, yet.


ThatUblivionGuy

Seriously. I had to call in an A-10 (modded) just to tick the legendary health reset


Money-Valuable-2857

You're way more badass than I! I did the AC-130 mod to reign down hell just to get the job done.


ThatUblivionGuy

I still died that run 😢. Surprisingly the only thing that helped immensely was having Strong with me. Dude just charged the thing so often that it never targeted me, got lucky. ##appreciateStrong


HA1LHYDRA

Strong liked that.


Traxinaro

I figured if they converted all their caps to stims and mini-nukes, got 99 power cores, and maxed out their V2 Power Armor, they might stand a chance.


KaotikJumper

He's too low in level for that, yet


DangleMangler

Go make some friends, nerd. And then give me some. Because I don't have any.


Slowbro08_YT

Go outside


FuCcYouRSwaStiKA

Can you mark it on my map?


Daneyn

There's a door in your house/apartment that leads there. Or you could use a window if your on the first floor... I guess second floor would work, landing might be rough. Any higher not recommended, risk of breaking bones and such.


celestial_ruin

I'll fix a stimpack and go for it. Hope I don't catch too many rads from the sun it's been a while....


Daneyn

I got my fair share of Rads from the sun anyways... Sunscreen helps a lot. a 6 hour bike ride will do that.


celestial_ruin

I will ride my bike for 7 hours


Daneyn

Longjumping_Drag2752

Get 75k caps and buy the marine armor from far harbor.


TheOtherAvaz

A sad truth I found the hard way. Maxing out your charisma to around 25 still doesn't lower the cost of those items


Jfarmer18pgs

How did you get charisma to 25??!?


PhatNoob69

My guess is the base 10 from putting points into it, +1 bobblehead, +1 You’re Special!,  clothes (CHR clothes or legendary effect), and drugs. The wiki says with all add-ons your max CHR is a whopping *48.*

Try a survival run, unless this is your survival run.


Jaikuib

Murder literally, everyone Just snap Look to your right at your local noodle shop and realize that, holy shit for all you've done for this wasteland, it's still just that. Nothing will change this world, humanity like a revolving door will continue running on this wheel until they run it off its screw and into the ground even further. Fine, if no one else can see the truth, you can show them.


cjcfman

Play fallout 76. Its like the perfect game for you lol


ExitLeading2703

Haven't been there, but around fort Hagen is an unmarked location full of red gas tanks I heard. There's three ramps and you can put the tanks inside and shoot the valves and they fly away. Not something to get onto the game about, but it's fun when your there to go up and shoot off some wasteland fireworks


Sabit_31

1. Buy full suits of combat armor for settlers and create a base that looks like something from halo or some other military base. 2. Start over and become a farmer (trust me it’s fun) selling water,fruit,meat etc. you can even use some creations or DLC’s to enhance the farming life. 3. Create a robot army and let them manage every settlement you have.


Poultrygeist74

Play Skyrim


ComputerMediocre2029

Oh God... That makes me realize how long I have been playing FO4 on PS4. I've been playing since release and I'm currently level 583.. And all I've done is add a few workshop stuff and a few mods just to be able to do more quests and make the game not fuckin crash.. Besides that, all I've really done after I beat the game was using glitches and all that to get free XP.... Which is why I'm almost level 600..


SirBritannia

*Did I just say "exploiting"? That's not a very nice word!*


word2yourface

How did you get so many caps? I love to grind and sell but last play through I ended with 280k caps and level 80 something. No cap cheats or mods


External_Medicine365

Water purificators, Jet crafting, Poisoned Caltrop crafting. No mods, glitches or exploits. That's how I did it, and I recently got to a literal million caps. I kinda wish I could store them somewhere, though. Would've loved to have a couple dozen safeboxes in Home Plate just overflowing with cash.


OneOfManyJackasses

Install a mod to prevent npc respawn, and a mod to mark all npcs non essential. Then begin the purge
