You should also check out our guide on how to establish supply lines between settlements in Fallout 4 on this page. Now go to the structure that needs a settler manning it and issue the Assign command for the structure to become active. You will now have an option to issue commands to him/her at the bottom of the screen. Go into the Workshop menu and walk over to a settler.
The one thing I wish I knew at start is that for some of the structures to function (defense and shops) you need to assign settlers to them.
There’s no way to exile someone from your village, so if you have a problem with anyone, you should look into how to kill settlers without alerting everyone. Building defensive structures also helps. You can trade with any settler and provide them with armor and weapons to better defend themselves. Make sure you have enough food, water and power supply to keep your settlers happy (here’s how you can increase happiness in setlements). What is left is to deck out your settlement any way you like. This will show you how other settlements and workshops can be acquired. You will also get a quest to visit Tenpines Bluff and recruit them for Minuteman. Doing these quests will give you a basic idea on how settlements function. After a few more quests you will be tasked to build some defenses and provide food and water for your settlers. After you do the second main story mission in Concord you will have your first settlers in Sanctuary ( list of crafting ingredients and how to get them). A more in-depth guide will be created that will go into how to build out your settlements and create really impressive structures and configurations.īasic Settlement UsageThe first settlement you will unlock is Sanctuary, just south of Vault 111. In this guide we will concentrate on providing a list of all places that can be made into settlements as well as some tips on how to use settlements on the basic level (check out our guide how to power up the house) – as help for you adventuring through Commonwealth. There is a huge amount of information that can be shared about the settlements and just building a base is a game of its own in Fallout 4. You provide these resources by building stuff in your settlement or by establishing trade routes that will provide these items for your settlers. More settlers you recruit, more food, water and power you will need. there are 30 places in Fallout 4 that contain a Workshop and consequently allow you to build stuff there or send recruited companions or people to these places (here’s how to find companions in settlements). They have a wide variety of uses and all of it begins and ends with a Workshop being present. Settlements in Fallout 4 are places you can claim as your own to build stuff in, store items or create mini cities.
