Literally the first negative review I read was "the game's alright but flawed" which seems pretty reasonable?

Most people have said it's a 7 at best, and a majority of the bugs are unacceptable with how long Bethesda has been in business and how many games they've made at this point. You get a lot of crazy people who shout about it being the worst thing ever or that it's GOTYAY.

Everybody's talking at me
Some tips for finding the parts you need to bring to another settlement, assuming you don't have any supply lines.

1. Build a footlocker or safe to hold misc gear you don't want to carry around: weapons for your settlers, extras for you, etc.
2. Only store Junk in the Workbench. Put the other stuff in the container above.
3. When you need to find a component, Take All from the Workbench, open your Junk inventory, and hit C to see the component view (see below)
4. Put all the junk back in the Workbench with the T button. Take back what you need.

I'm pretty sure Polygon scored Alien: Isolation high but bitched heavily about Witcher 3. GOTY 14-15 and there was lacking great scores of at least 1. Point being, numerical scores in TYOOL 16 is retarded and dumb.

Real talk, who plays a loving game and goes "meh...this goddamn game is a 7.4?"

How do you set up a supply line?

So, apparently the function of settlements is the settlers who are not otherwise employed slowly gather resources for you.

I just saw a video of a guy who did nothing but gently caress around turning Red Rocket into a tower for hours, and when he went to the crafting bench he had, loving, 30 adhesive, the rare candy of gunsmithing.

So just a question but is anyone experiencing a weird bug with their pipboy where it says a settlement has not enough resources when you're far away from it?

Sanctuary Hills has literally 0 in most resources according to the data tab. Despite me having assigned people and it showing as having plenty of resources when i'm in the area. Same goes for Tenpines, though it just mislabels the number of beds.

People who need a simple, easy to understand metric on where a piece of media stands in relation to its peers? The problem isn't numerical scoring, it's the fact that the scale has been so hosed up that a 7, which is defined as "better than average", is the baseline.

Binary maths.

The way you store negative numbers is by putting a 1 at the beginning of the number in binary.

Unfortunately that is also how you store very large numbers so sometimes the computer gets confused when you make a very large number and reads it as a negative one, or vice versa.

only if you don't have workshop access in the area you're in, if you're in sanctuary for instance it just needs to be stored in your workshop storage or inventory

Only if you need to bring it to another settlement. You can dump all your junk in one settlement and all the benches there will have access to it.

Edit: Dump all your junk = Storing it in the workbench.

How does it break your game? I never had any problems. At least that I noticed.

Also I really hope all those hosed up reports in the workshop tab are not affecting my actual settlement stats.

purified water sells for around 10 caps with perks. 200 is 2,000 from one settlement that respawns daily. gently caress help with healing, that poo poo is infinite money.
