I'm removing Homemaker from my next run mostly because I'm sick of all the DLC items ending up at the end of each list of items in settlement building mode. Is there a more recent settlement item mod that doesn't duplicate things from the DLCs?

Jarf posted:Immersive Fast Travel: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10157/ If you don't want the overpowering feel of a personal teleporter or vertibird, I can suggest Lone Wanderer Fast Travel. Just a motorcycle that needs fuel, has a few upgrades (like better suspension for allowing you to ride in power armor), and a saddlebag for carrying stuff. Also will apparently need occasional maintenance, though I haven't gotten that far yet. Mod request question: Is there anything that enables break-in attempts in settlements? Not huge bands of raiders, but occasional drive-by scavvers and that sort of thing that can happen in real time? Or should I just find a mod that increases the amount of spawn locations and hope someone wanders by?

FROST is so drat good. The new sewer content leaves a lot to be desired, and it sucks I have to find an interior cell somewhere to survive radstorms even if I'm in a settlement, but the difficulty level is great and I've had more than a few moments of sheer terror where the difference between life and having to restart from my last sleeping location was a handful of bullets, a sliver of AP, or a morsel of mole rat meat.

Historically I've always used the Mod Organizer but I've seen some videos of people talking about mods and saying that since it's still in beta it's pretty buggy / possibly breaks your game. Mod Organizer 2 has been a dreamlike experience for me. I haven't had a single issue with it, even when my mod count gets to ~150, even if I have FROST in one profile and vanilla mods in others. The per-profile saved games thing is a little broken and requires manually moving saves around, but it does it reliably and without any data loss that I can see.

MO is seriously the best iteration of a modding tool I've seen since Morrowind. I've loaded up Skyrim and Fallout with over 200 mods each and I've had, maybe half a dozen crashes in hundreds of Skyrim hours, and zero crashes in Fallout. Only problem with MO2 is that the local savegames functionality is broken. Other than that it's been an absolute joy.

It is a little glitchy in places, and aboveground is almost impossible, but you can easily get a good 10-12 hours of entertainment out of it.

So I've gotten to level 5 in Horizon. Some thoughts: - Combat is fantastic so far. Pipe pistols are reliable daily carries against raiders, molerats, and the like, and firefights feel much more tense, with agonizing moments of "will I survive this or not?". - The settlement additions are a little arcane, but I'm really starting to see the experience it's trying to create. Settlement building feels thoughtful and requires a lot more patience and work to make things viable. - The loot overhaul can feel disappointing at times, but it makes finding valuable things (and useful junk) even more exciting.

Extremely good Horizon thing: taking over Jamaica Plain with a dozen odd bullets, three bottlecap mines, and the police protectrons; having to wander over to the power armor, with no fusion cores, just to clunk slowly around the military checkpoint and grab all the ammo there, Mr Gutsy plinking at my armor the whole time. Extremely bad Horizon thing: items going missing, like food in my inventory using the caravan fast travel system, and a goddamned filter I had built going missing in between the robotics workshop and the general store at my settlement. Also bad Horizon thing: Finally getting to build a medium water purifier that's meant to generate 10 purified water, and only getting one per day while my liquid fuel starts getting consumed.

Terrorforge posted:The purifier generates 10 water units, not 10 bottles. The conversion rate is 10 units/bottle. Yeah, realized that after going through the documentation again. But that makes liquid fuel even more precious, and I've only found 7 units after 18 hours in this playthrough. I kind of hoped the agony of getting a purifier set up would frontload some of the pain of getting purified water, but now it's a race to find enough fuel to keep just one purifier going, for one purifier water a day.

I honestly don't mind settlement building; I've had a ton of fun putting things together (ignoring the lifeless settlers, terrible pathfinding, lovely raid chance calculation, almost zero chance to have raids occur when you're in your settlement, stock prices for everything despite you building the stores and hiring the workers, frustratingly small build areas, finicky item placement, inability to hide from radstorms no matter how fortified your buildings, and about a dozen other things). I just want to make sure no more items go missing randomly, like that filter.

Terrorforge posted:You sure it's just not in a weird place? iirc the filters show up under "Misc" rather than "Junk", which makes sense but threw me off to start with. Positive. I had one filter, checked to see the requirements for the purifier, saw it was four, got out of workshop mode and over to the general store in my settlement, bought the ingredients I needed for two more, built two, went into workshop mode and it said I only had two filters. Didn't go into any workshop inventory, didn't sell it off. Something definitely went screwy there and it wasn't the first time, just the first time it happened with such a maddeningly important item.

SolidSnakesBandana posted:I've been eyeballing Horizons but it feels like I should probably wait for a 1.0 release. Is that a fair assessment? Is it the most complete "hard-mode" type overhaul there is right now? I recommend Horizons in its current state. It's a ton of fun. It's not overly hardcore as things go, but there feels like a real and valid progression. I'd throw some hours at the settlement system, if only to see what kind of edge you can get in survival if you go down that route. 99% of junk has a completely different value versus what you think to look out for instinctively. Tag things for search judiciously, otherwise you're going to forget what thing of value you're looking for. Ammo feels properly scarce, food (and ingredients) feel properly priced. I enjoy this game much more when I only have 14 bobby pins instead of 99+, that I actually have to buy food if my day's scavenging isn't productive enough, and that I can feel accomplished and proud putting up my fourth water purifier.

Also it's worth getting some settlements set up so that you can use the ad hoc fast travel system, caravan supply routes. Two or three of those placed strategically around the Commonwealth will speed things up considerably over vanilla Survival.

Horizon is so good. It seriously revitalized so much of the game for me. Every possible combat encounter has real weight to engaging or not. I'm level 12 and still relying mainly on a pipe pistol because it's maxed out for close combat and ammo is pretty plentiful. I want to upgrade to a better class of weapon but I keep selling the ammo I don't use to make ends meet. Legendary drops still suck, and the contents of loot chests can be disappointing, but a lot of dungeons with static pre-populated loot can be godsends (like the locked room in the Mass Pike Tunnel with a box of vodka and cigarette cartons). If you start building settlements, meeting their needs matters, and supplies are so scarce it really reworked how I build settlements, into this sparse, minimally functional approach. I find myself clearing the commonwealth in ever increasing circles from my primary settlements, which are chosen to maximize the value of caravan fast travel. Also remember to trade with all of your dudes for their surplus ammo. Some of them even come with stimpacks. Mr. Crow posted:Specifically I guess, sleeping bags and mattresses don't take you up to rested, I can sleep for 15 hours (3 5 hour naps) and I'm still tired. Sleeping in a bed it goes away. If I understand what you're asking, vanilla Survival works the same way: you can't get restful sleep on a mattress (max 5 hours) or a sleeping bag (max 3 hours), even if you chain sleeping periods.

Is there a mod that expands settlement size as safely and surgically as possible? The anemic size of Jamaica Plain is killing me, but it looks like mods that alter settlements tend to have several issues: 1. A bug where power armor which has been customized is reset to its original configuration upon leaving a cell and coming back after X amount of time* 2. A bug where the contents of settlement cells will be completely reset, i.e. removing all of the player's constructed items** 3. Settlement boundaries being no longer visible 4. An inflated size due to having to modify some value on every scrappable item which is in the expanded settlement construction area*** There seem to be mods related to 1 and 2 (Buildable Power Armor Frames and Cell Reset Workaround Patch). I don't have either of them installed, and I may just add them now so that I don't have to worry about things like this in the future, but this seems like an insane amount of trouble to go through just to have a slightly larger build area. * which seems to then launch into a discussion of how to distinguish between "safe" and "unsafe" power armor, as well as mods to fix that ** it's unclear to me if 1 and 2 are both what's called the cell reset bug or if that term just applies to one or the other *** which I'm not even sure if that will work with mods that change the "end products" list of scrappable objects (e.g. Horizon modifies cars to return a whole bunch of rubber, steel, packing material, and etc. versus the vanilla, which iirc only gives you 10-20 steel) EDIT: Additionally, the bUseCombinedObjects setting under [General] in fallout4.init seems relevant too, but it's not clear to me what it does or what the implications of toggling it are. It seems the default is 1, and 0 is what people recommend setting it to to scrap objects within expanded settlement borders, but it also seems to cause a non-trivial performance hit.

Zakmonster posted:I thought the cell reset bug had been fixed? I got a mod that fixed the roof on Taffington Boathouse and Somerville Place, and the power armor I left at the Boathouse seems fine. I'm not trying to increase the settlement budget. I'm trying to increase the size of the perimeter of the settlement. The mod I finally settled upon is Bigger Settlements, alongside Hangman's Alley Interior Apartments, since Bigger Settlements doesn't change Hangman's Alley. It works well, although I did hit my first crash in hundreds of hours of playing. I suspect this is because I originally had the Hangman's Alley Patch to fix navmeshing and building issues, and I removed this in favor of Interior Apartments. Some more notes after some testing: - It's entirely possible for a mod to change the perimeter of the settlement without changing the actual green/red "border wall" that surrounds the buildable area. Bigger Settlements adds its own magenta wall around the new perimeters, which is really quite useful. - I added Spring Cleaning and its compatibility patch. The patch ensures that the scrappable objects outside the vanilla build area includes items added by mods, not just the vanilla recipes list. - Despite all this, there's still a ton of things that can't be scrapped in my settlement of choice, Jamaica Plain. The most disappointing part is the pews in the church, which I wanted to tear out and replace with a market. Oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Feel free to add this to the OP or whatever for other people so they don't have to go down the same rabbit hole.

Zore posted:Its good if you're really into 'I never want to use weapons other than pipe pistols and melee' because ~realism~ As a counterpoint, read my latest posts in this thread. I think Horizon is fantastic for a ton of reasons. EDIT: Something I think some people aren't realizing is that you have to completely rethink how you scavenge. All your muscle memory and visual cues for what was important scrap in the vanilla game has to be completely rethought. Pristine boxes of cigarettes and cigars are some of the most valuable items you can find. Alcohol is iffy because it's incredibly valuable but also very useful for antibiotics. You should be picking up all the food you can find, all the ingredients you can find, and get your scrap storage system set up as soon as possible so you can call cargo bots as you go. Also, in vanilla Fallout, you can find one good gun and stick with it forever. You have to think about things differently in Horizon. You should never, ever, ever, ever, ever, sell ammo, and you should have a rotation of weapons for different situations. If you know you're off to kill humans, a pipe rifle/sniper rifle, a good melee weapon, and maybe a 10mm will do just fine. If you have to clear out super mutants, a more powerful sniper rifle, laser weapons, and a revolver would do the trick. If you need to take out robots, find a powerful shotgun, etc. You can't just lean on any one weapon to take you through the game, because it won't stand up against everything you encounter, and you're not going to have enough ammo to realistically combat everything. You're also going to have to do a whole lot of running and hiding. It's better than vanilla in almost every way. The sense of satisfaction of just finally producing purified water at a settlement is more empowering than anything you do in the vanilla game.

Paranoid Peanut posted:does Horizon cut down on the number of stimpaks you find? Horizon's documentation is really comprehensive compared to other mods. The long and short of it for stimpaks is: - There are now several levels of first aid item: bandages, medicated bandages, combat stimpacks (which replace stimpaks), trauma kits, first aid kits, and others. - All first aid items are craftable, but not all at level 1. Some will require perks. Cloth and alcohol are really important for this reason. - Combat stimpaks can be used in combat. Most other health items cannot. - Trauma kits repair broken limbs. Combat stimpaks also repair broken legs, just to ensure that if you don't have a trauma kit (which repairs broken limbs) that you don't have to crawl like a tortoise to the nearest doctor. - You're not going to find any on leveled lists, but stimpaks placed in the game world, and on settlers who join your settlements, will remain. The balancing act here is that you have a much, much larger health pool, but you're never going to spend a ton of time at full health: radiation and the rarity of stimpaks will make that very difficult until later levels.
