Some players like Redditor BunyaminButton like to build themselves a fancy chair on a podium near the bell. No shirking, you lazy individuals! I don't dungeon crawl all day so you can stand around and complain about the weather. Plonk this down somewhere central, give it a ring, and wait a moment all your settlers will wander up from wherever they've been hiding while you've been trying to find someone to please, please, PLEASE man the defences. One of the best little shortcuts in the Workshop menu is the bell.
"This resource has been assigned." You bet it has. Unfortunately, the wretched NPCs have other ideas, and sleep wherever they fancy - even in beds you've decided are your own! Fix 'em good and proper open your Workshop menu, activate the settler in question (Cross/A), then activate the bed you want them to sleep in. Likewise for farmers, traders and scavengers. If I have decided a settler is going to be a guard, I put a bed in a house near the guard post.
If you're anything like me, you like your settlements to be neat and tidy. If you want more decorating options, remember you can always drop items from your inventory then hold down activate (Cross/A) to pick them up and move them around, arranging them on shelves around you. Have you looked through your Workshop meny thoroughly? I mean really thoroughly? Because if you haven't built a sweet display for your Bobbleheads yet, I'm just going to assume the answer is no.Īs well as the dedicated Bobblehead display there are a couple of options for showing off your magazine acquisitions - flat shelves and spinning displays. Build a Bobblehead display and magazines rack In the latter case, you can just walk away and resume your chat later useful if you've been asked to get involved in something you'd rather steer clear of for a while.ģ. You can either quicksave right at the persuade prompt for the most efficient reload-and-repeat run, or while your character still has movement. We've all been there, or at least 90% of my pals have you finally get Piper to idolise you, summon up the courage to confess your feelings, hammer the persuade button and - she turns you down.Īvoid this situation by quicksaving at any point in the conversation opening the pause menu won't interrupt or exit the conversation. Quicksave during conversations - or leave them You can even dress Dogmeat up in collars, helmets, muzzles armour and adorable little bandanas, or put all your settlers in uniforms or silly costumes.Ģ. Add whatever you want your buddy to use to their inventory panel, just like trading with a merchant, then highlight it and press Equip (Triangle/Y). If you're close enough the menu will change, with one option for Trade (Square/X). If you're yet to figure it out: face your active companion and press the activate button (Cross/A). Note that you'll need to give them ammo for anything but their default weapon, so this isn't an unlimited missiles exploit. Dress them up in armour to keep them alive longer in battles and hand over more powerful boomsticks for tough fights. It's really easy to miss the button prompt for this, but the trade menu isn't just for offloading excess inventory weight on your buddy. Equip NPCs with new gear - including Power Armor
