I have toyed around with conduits more and I put a line on the entire perimeter of my wall with little power radiators every few walls to power the lights on the walls. It's starting to look pretty cool, my next step is to build on top of the Slog main building so I can make a large power armor hanger. I hate leaving them lined up in Sanctuary, but at least I take out the fusion cores so stupid settlers don't steal them. Happened to me the first time I played, I came back to a settlement attack in Sanctuary and every settler swiped a suit of power armor and I couldn't get it back. At least no settlers were in any danger, and it was a deathclaw attack too which was cool.
But I have been dealing with another bug, in that I can't get more than seven settlers in Sanctuary even though I have a powered radio recruitment tower broadcasting. It's weird.
I am going to test out Sim Settlements soon in a big place like the Starlight or Spectacle to let them build a world. I'm level 77 and I just powered through the glowing sea, I am modded to the gills and it's pretty fantastic. I've been wrestling with this P-113 Plasma Weapon mod that introduced these new glowing and exploding deathclaws that are level 130 and hurt like crazy, but the weapons they give are tremendous. Basically this one weapon I picked up, simply called "NO NO NO!", is the BFG9000. Yeah. Can you say super mutant killing spree?
I have not enjoyed how foundations snap together horizontally but not vertically. I had to use the stairs trick to fool it into allowing me to use multiple levels for them. Makes crafting a sky fortress rather difficult and frustrating.
I do hate when FO4 gets a tiny meaningless update and screws up my F4SE, I have some time tonight to play and can't because of compatibility with the old version.
Also, y'all should add me on steam. I'm jeicex on that too, obviously.
