- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- Fallout 4: Sim Settlements 2 continues, as we head north to dig up a pre-war superweapon, and then immediately get distracted by an elaborate scheme to steal somebody's kidneys, an attempt to recruit robot warriors, and a farm in distress. Pretty typical day, really.

Jon: "I'm not going to get distracted by anything"
Jon, ten seconds later: "ROBOT KIDNEYS!"
I stand by my decision to divert in order to steal that guy's kidneys.
If only Iverstead had a satellite nuclear whatchamahoozit.
Build the robot work bench and get some badass assaultrons in your army. (with gatling lasers for arms)
I love that yeah, "I have become the Mechanist!" Plus siding with the Brooderhood give you power armour troops .
LOL I was thinking that as well make an army of killer Mr. Handys
He could have a full on sentry bot army. If he wanted.
sharks with laser beams on their head?
Darsenia Two: "I don't like violence."
Jon: "Welcome to the army!"
Yes, send the pacifist synth to the army.
“I abhor violence to the point that I was able to overcome my programming and break away from a shadow organization. All I want to do with my new found freedom is nurture plants”
“You know where you can go? Front lines!”
Not as good as the scrapyard but a close second
I now suspect there are no nukes on the satellite. It is actually where Magnusson is located and he is using you to get back to Earth.
The reason he lost contact during the mission was because the satellite's orbit went out of range.
Importantly, the guards at 111 didn't just get bored and mutiny; the Vault simply was understocked with food and other essentials, causing a schism between the science team, who understood the dangers of going outside in a nuclear winter, and the security team, who wanted to risk it.
I agree with Jon that the actual experiment was not directly about perfecting cryostasis but I do believe it was involved. We already know Vault-Tec had perfected the technology from other sources. As you point out, there was not enough supplies to support the vault despite Vault-Tec and the scientist they assigned there, being perfectly aware the duration of their time would be extensive due to the exterior environment.
The theory I have heard which I'm inclined to believe, is Vault-Tec wanted to test what the non-frozen inhabitants would do when their food supply ran out while they were surrounded by a host of refrigerated dinners. I think Vault-Tec wanted to see if the inhabitants would crack each cryo chamber open one by one as they slowly cannibalized the frozen inhabitants of the vault. I'm guessing the security either rejected the idea or rebelled before it could be implemented. Vault-Tec often has a confederate in their experiments to help guide the intended test subjects into the experiment. Their confederate was likely one of the scientist who got killed by the security team.
Pickpocketing from your Institute "allies" is one of my favorite recurring themes of this playthrough.
I'm surprised they were able to rig up an animation for that cryopod folding up to reveal the tunnel underneath.
...and the contents of Magnusson's cache are kind of interesting if you think of them as all being potential barter items in an unknown future society. Gold, booze, fine clothing, and ammunition. One of them is bound to be valuable!
the gold for sure, i think the booze and suit was for himself
Odd. I'd always assumed that Jon had stolen our hearts, not our kidneys.
Considering his PER -1 stat he was aiming for our kidneys all along!
@@saag024 I think he was aiming for our brains to make brain juice but end up going for our hearts.
You got lucky and pressed the correct eject button for the courser's kidneys.
I'm excited every time a new episode comes out. The whole mod is impressive in scope.
Highly recommend you go play around with the ham radio on a War Planner's Desk after you're done meeting all your envoys. You may find some surprising new options you can recruit for your army.
Jon, listen to the man himself!
Darsenia Two: "For one thing, I don't like violence", "I don't see any reason to kill someone", "Violence is not the answer." "I wont kill needlessly."
Jon: *Immediately assigns Darsenia Two to army*
Edit: Also, it occurs to me as it's been brought up a bunch in the London series, given npc SPECIAL levels make a difference in SS2, you could use excess stat boosting gear on your npcs to make them better at their jobs or at the jobs you want to assign them to by forcing them to equip it.
Pretty sure the security in 111 didn't just "get bored". IRC, they only had enough food for a few months, and the Overseer decided that the scientist should have the biggest part of the rationing.
yeah, there are only a few terminals in 111 and they pretty clearly lay out that 111 was told the all clear would be in 6 months and never got it. They started running out of food and other basic supplies very shortly after that false hope date.
We aren't told how exactly how soon after that there was a rebellion within the vault, but the assumption was that it happened fast and was led by security.
@@TallDarknGruesome Kind of ridiculous that no one saw it coming. Anyone with basic knowledge of radiation would know that it would be death to open a vault after only six months, and that's before you factor in what's going on with everything that DIDN'T die. So they had no food stores, no hydroponics or any way to grow food themselves down there, and obviously nobody was going to rock up with a truck full of supplies. What did these people honestly expect was about to happen?
They didn't have enough tubes to freeze people until it was over either.
I think it was a test to see if the vault dweller's would kill the cryogenically frozen people they didn't know to save themselves.
It went off the rails because the guards would rather poke their heads out and risk it than murder flash frozen families, which obviously didn't properly test the situation they wanted to.
The scientists were honestly stupid in the extreme. There was certainly a way to isolate the entrance and send a guard out - at worst they would die, one less mouth to feed.
I thought this mod would last like 10 parts… but it just keeps going!
3 chapters, each being 2Gb download. And that is just the basics. SS2 has loads of player made mods adding more plots to the game, new units with outfits/armour and even new settlements like Swan's Pond where Jon opened the episode from.
You do have to be careful as SS2 uses a lot of scripts and having more than 1 settlements in a cell can cause the game to crash if they're both built up.
Your units don't need to be in a outpost in range to show up for a fight. if you got a lot in another outposts they can be sent the battles.
He really should use the Recruiment radio to get the special units like super mutants or power armour troopers. and using the war planner desk to assign who goes into the assaults is nice
Camera angle from the POV of the kidneys while she was talking to you was incredible, top marks Sim Settlements 2!
The problem with Vault 111 wasn't just that the guards got bored - they ran out of supplies. The vault was given 180 days worth of supplies if rationed and they started to run out long before then. The Overseer was instructed not to let anyone out until the all clear happened, which they never got because six months is not nearly long enough for an all-clear if anyone was even around to give one. So the security ended up rebelling over the lack of food and the Overseer refusing to let them out.
However, you're right that this was very likely part of the experiment. Most other Vaults had decades if not centuries worth of supplies for 1000 residents plus support staff. Only giving six months of supplies to a skeleton crew of security and techs was very clearly intentional. So the question is, what was the point of that experiment? To see how exactly order would break down in a situation where supplies wouldn't hold out? Or if the Overseer training was good enough to ensure that any rebellion in a similar situation wouldn't succeed?
On the plus side, you don't need to spend a fetch-quest hunting for enough ice to fill a bathtub after you stole his kidneys! I guess a pickpocket is stealthy enough they don't realize anything is missing, including vital organs...
I think the issue with the "too many outposts" thing is that you're doing everything in such quick succession that the outposts aren't being given enough time to do their own recruiting, so by the time that some time is passed with the number of outposts you have you might be so overrun with soldiers that your normal settlements food/water/power will struggle to keep up with your army's demands.
Everyone : Mayor Bob killed a synth and took its organs.
Mayor Bob : No, no, I did not kill him to take his organs. I stole his organs by picking his pockets.
Everyone : That sounds so much worst.
I’m so glad you made this one longer, but sadly, it’s still not long enough! 😂 I’m enjoying this play through so much, simultaneously keeping up with London and enjoying just as much.
If Mags is in a satellite and he can't bounce his comms signal off other working satellites, then when he goes too far around the world you lose comms with him for a while, haha.
27:02 Jon managed to shoot his body off his head, its usually the other way around, he de-bodied it
"hold on while I get the right tool to remove this tiny chip" look back a moment later & he's using the world's biggest spanner
Engramtapes sounds like copy your brainwaves on a tape, then stick it in a robot and you've got a robot "you", haha
Wondering if something like that or the Vault 118 Far Harbour robobrains explains Magnusson 'cos he's pre-war, without the ghoul accent.
We're heisting kidneys? Sweet!
im going straight there!...but on the way....
I'm surprised there wasn't more to the Darsenia situation. Wounded synth shows up, claims pacifism, expresses she has reclaimed her humanity and personhood from the Insitute's murderbot program, runs through the full 'synths are people too' Railroad routine... then asks you to go murder a fellow gen 3 (=person) synth in cold blood and scrap it for spare parts. She's explicit about wanting Courser parts too, the top-of-the-line milspec stuff exclusively found in gen 3s, not just any old synth component. I'm surprised that's apparently not a deliberate red flag.
She even _sounds_ a little bit like a courser, which coupled with her outfit choice makes it even stranger that her story is _apparently_ that she was intended to replace her namesake.
"That's a really tiny chip! I'm going to need a special tool to remove this."
Comes back with a huge pipe wrench.
Jon? Why did you recruit the pacifist synth who's so averse to killing it broke her programming and let her escape the Institute...and instead of letting her be a farmer like she wanted, FORCED HER TO BE A SOLDIER? Just...why? She's not even any good at being a soldier either! You could've let her be a farmer like she wanted!
Jon is a monster! Justice for Darsenia Two!
All hail Fallout weekend. But things have changed. Stellaris is over and we're on the eve of Morrowind and BETHESDA WEEK!!! At least until Sim Settlements ends.
Good afternoon Jon! Thanks for another lovely video with my Sunday tea
I’ve said it before but the Institute makes zero sense. Like what is the end goal?!? You’re just murdering people and replacing them. Why?!? For what reason?!? And somehow Shaun is just ok with that and they’re a faction you can support. You’d have to actively be ok with murdering people just because you can. They could just as easily create a synth with a unique personality and integrate them into whatever town/community you want them in. It’s so stupid.
You've never shot someone in these games for no reason
Its basically a tactic to instill order in the wasteland and controll it from the shadows. A loyal immortal minon can serve an institution ad infinitum
It's the extreme long term solution
I absolutely agree. But also, i don’t remember if the dude that kicked off the whole “broken mask” incident was a replaced person or a unique identity? So maybe they were doing that, but then after the incident everyone would have been so wary of any new people that they had to start replacing already established members of the community.
Now, there’s still no obvious reason that they would need to be doing this, especially given the heavy implications that they have synth-crows and synth-cats to carry out espionage, and no real gains to be had from manipulating politics. But it’s an explanation nonetheless.
For all the times we're told about The Institute replacing people with synths, that should feature more in their main quest. Imagine sorting out The Brotherhood by kidnapping & replacing Maxson.
I notice that Jon also forgpt to use the new weapon again this episode. Despite saying he would start using it
I always wondered why in the Fallout universe, Vaults weren't used as settlements or extensions of settlements more Often. But then, thinking about it, they actually are! Most of the abandoned vaults have some critical flaws that prevent people from living there and interacting with the rest of the world.
In Fallout 1, Vault 13 is in Isolation and Vault 15 is completely abandoned, but Vault 12 is the home of an important Ghoul community that lives both within and around, and houses dissidents to Set's rule over the city.
In Fallout 2, Vault city is a combination of a functioning vault and city that interacts with the rest of the world, Vault 15 is occupied by raiders as a base, Vault 13 has become refuge to a community of sapient deathclaws... So there really isn't any abandoned Vault in the "civilized" world of Fo2.
In Fallout New Vegas, Vault 19 and Vault 3 are used by raiders much in the same way Vault 15 was by the Khans in Fo2, and Vault 21 or what remains of it is a functioning hotel, an extension of the New Vegas Strip.
Fallout 3's only vault that is connected to the rest of the world is Vault 87 as being the origin and main base of the local super mutants. I wouldn't really call Vault 101 a settlement as it's just a Vault that barely ever opened and has no regular contact with the rest of the wasteland. The rest of the Vaults in that game are simply impossible to settle.
Fallout 4 has quite a lot of settled Vaults, actually only Vault 111 is fully abandoned, and Vault 118 though it has some robotic residents is not in a position to become a settlement but the rest are connected to the wasteland in some ways.
Vault 114 is a base for the mobsters, Vaults 75 and 85 are Gunner bases and Vault 81 is a functioning settlement with economic ties to the rest of the world and generally accepts people moving in and out, Vault 81 can be turned into a real settlement.
So Yeah, communities settling Vaults or Vault survivors interacting with the rest of the world is pretty common in the franchise. It makes Vault 111 incredible real estate and it's nice to have to possibility of occupying it in this mod!
I am shocked he actually made it up there,
That "no distractions" talk really convinced me he wouldn't get there today.
15:10 How likely is it that batter-up buttercup is sitting in Sunshine Tidings' junk drawer somewhere?
Take a shot every time Jon targets a single person in VATS despite his obsession with Gun Fu 😅
Jon you're forgetting the golden rule of the wasteland:
Thou shalt get distracted by random BS.
For a guy who doesn't want to talk about what his pet project is, Magnusson sure as fuck talks about it a lot.
Well you would at his age
You could make a robot army with the DLC workbench. Very. Very. Op.
Magnusson basically says the initial tests went just like Dr. Wells's first attempts in The Outer Worlds. Nice nod to Obsidian there.
They didn’t get bored they were running out of food. The guards wanted to open the vault and the Overseer didn’t, so the guards revolted.
The fact that you stole his internal organs without him noticing. Jon I really do question if you made a pact with some eldritch horror be becase you are too lucky to be natural.
If Magnusson is in space and using King Bob and Jake to get down. Then at the end when they lost contact with him, that might be due to him being in non-geosynchronous orbit. He could just lose contact because he's facing the opposite side of the globe? Could explain why you lost contact before, being busy or shady could be a red herring.
I wonder, did Jon ever chose Lockpicking in any Fallout Game? It may be only me but i would love to know what is behind every door of this fantastic mod.
Week 4, still no Intimidation use. Even worse, Jon acknowledged Intimidation when levelling up and there were several points where the "Intimidate" option was clearly visible on the screen, yet he *still* didn't use it. Please, Jon, just once!
Tbf intimidation tends to be unreliable and sometimes breaks things
It’s better with the animal friend one because the VA especially the male one is HILLARIOUS. Intimidate a bloatfly he goes “BZZ BZZ BZZ BZZ BZZ”
Animals tend to not be quest triggers so much so changing their disposition temporarily doesn’t break as much
Between this, and London, it has become very apparent just how many flaws FO4 really has, and some of those flaws run rather deep. It doesn't fill me with hope for whatever the next official installment of the franchise proves to be. Thank God for modders.
(18:25) Maybe her stats are low because she's injured?
(19:36) It's not a named character, Jon. You already know that it's fine.
This stage of State of War should have quest markers directing you to the locations; it's not supposed to be a big mystery
I wonder what everyone's reaction to Mayor Bob keeping the status quo with an orbital nuclear strike platform
Something about your theory about the vault 111 has a hole. Vault 111 was “supposed” to open after 20 years so it was stocked for 20 years the overseer never opened the door because he was waiting for the all clear from vault tech supplies were running out and the workers were not having it
"Why have I got tagged ticks everywhere all of a sudden?"
Modders making sure bethesda can't bethesda you for too long if it stuffed a spawn below the mesh for yet another time.
How about a "Hot raw pillow talk while chippy synth gives brain" warning!!? I'm only 43 over here!!!
In which Jon explicitly states he isn't going to get distracted and faff about, only for Jon to get distracted and faff about for 30 minutes before getting back on track, and not finishing the stated objective because of it.
Hmmm “Engramtapes” I wonder if the way Magnusson survived from the pre-war era was by digitising his consciousness (perhaps on a satellite) rather than ghoulification or cryogenics…
I find it freaking hilarious you can pickpocket a courser's "parts" off them because, well, they have to be an item you can pick up off their corpse in the normal course of things. XD Wonder what happened when the courser went back to the Institute and they found he was suddenly mysteriously missing a few bits...
It's always bothered me how inconsistent the institute is. They cry victim saying they just want to do research in peace while at the same time they are replacing people with duplicates. If you want them to be evil, do that properly, don't half arse it. Alternatively have them be peaceful researchers and have synths be their feet on the surface not replacing people, and have people's concern be about these humanoid robots being dangerous in general, not replacing people.
pretty sure they turned on the overseer because they were running out of supplies after like 6 months and the overseer wasn't letting them leave. Not because they were bored.
You should try building some bots from the mechanist quest for the army
4:50 you could have just started shooting the gunners...
If only it were available for the console users... An incredible bit of work.
It’s on Xbox
@@emilyrosenberg8384Really, I had no idea. I just assumed Thanks a lot.
Question for anyone who has played this mod. Is their a point in the main story where the mod wont kick in? Or say you completed the main game, blew up the institute then decided to start the mod would it still all work?
You can kill as many people in a faction as you want and won't get kicked out as long as it isn't a named character.
could you build a few decked out killer robots from the automaton dlc and make them soldiers?
Would be nice to see a few assaultrons leading the assault. Maybe a few tankbots as well.
I wait all week for this
How long til Jon realizes he could have been building assultron and sentry bots and recruiting them into his army?
I have no idea why Jon took gun fu, he always picks off a group of gunners one at a time
Maybe the guy just needed to go to the bathroom, jeez. Wait, do robobrains go to the bathroom?
this was a fun episode, ss2 is better than fo london in some ways
Poor Bennett :(
Jon just so you know (cause I see you consistently aiming for the head) I know it sounds weird but shooting people with the explosive guns in the head in VATS is actually straight worse than hitting them in the torso. Torso hits damage all 5 limbs as well with the AOE of the explosive, hitting them in the head only damages head and torso (with some minor damage to arms).
Torso shots with explosive rounds is just plain better damage on humans, even with armor.
Also I know you don't like the DLC too much but you could use the robotics workbench to create as many robot soldiers as you want to man any settlement/outpost you want and fill your ranks with a robot army. Put the Mechanist to shame lol
Does every soldier in this require their own uniform depending on their role? Just asking as feel like I got the implication from this whole war thing at that is how it works, you assign a uniform for each role instead of just, for all of 'em.
Isn't the whole point of generation 3 synths that they are basically human? I thought the only mechanical part in them was the control chip in the brain?
Feels strange to be stealing "courser parts" to "repair" a gen 3.
jon, why dont you use the 100s of mines you have *before* you attack the gunners at a hollow settlement
I feel like its bugged. Every timehe takes a settlement they are hostil but the gunners are peaceful. Its tagging the wrong group
Does anyone else sprint at mirelurk eggs and try to pick them all up before the hatching eggs activate?
Yay I been refreshing since 2 o clock
It always bugs me when games & things start talking 'cryogenics'.
As that's not the correct term, CRYONICS, is the process of freezing/unfreezing living things.
What a bs, what courser parts are they? Synths are indistinguishable from humans with only one tiny component only recoverable after death. What a lore breaking guest.
Disappointed it actually said 'courser parts' instead of 'kidneys'. 0/10, not GOTY.

Day 216 of requesting Age of Mythology. Recruiting an army of robotic warriors and stealing people's organs is like 30% of the plot of Transformers One, which is a great movie you should see in theaters by the way. Shilling for awesome movies aside, it's really odd that the Enclave hasn't gone the robot soldier route like Jon tried. It'd be a far better solution to their manpower problem than brain-jacking Deathclaws.
I guess they don't have the industrial capacity to produce robots on their own on a large scale, and an army that can reproduce and multiply by itself and be fed the bodies of your enemies sounds like an efficient one when it comes to logistics haha. Instead of needing tons of high-end materials, electronics and energy weapons and power cells they just use a small amount of electronics to create an efficient and obedient death machine (until it gets hacked and eats their own guys, but I guess the enclave underestimated the technological abilities of the Brotherhood).
But yeah, if any tech skilled Wastelander can start up a robot army by just finding a robco factory, why wouldn't the enclave just occupy one of them and use it?
Day 259/1230 of requesting Jon play a game nobody will remember, like Majesty: A Fantasy Kingdom Sim.
Hey Jon,
just fyi, I just send you a very long list of recommendations for your upcoming Morrowind playthrough via an attachment to an email, but from a different gmail account ((so that it doesn’t get filtered out by your spam)).
I hope you receive and read it ((the subject of the email is exactly that, “your upcoming Morrowind-playthrough”)), and in case you can’t open and/or read it, please let me know!-Last but not least, I want to thank you for all of your effort and time,
with very friendly regards, and the best to all of you,
Sir Stamford Raffles
