HOW TO GET LUCY TO PAY 5 CAPS PER MELON INSTEAD OF 3
I actually did this a long time ago when I first started playing but totally forgot about it. This only works when you first approach Lucy and speak with her. If for any reason, you abort the conversation, the dialogue options are not repeated for some reason.
When you first dialogue with Lucy, select these options (all up)
- Caps?
- Bottle cap currency?
- Ask for more
At this point, your character will say, "Let's make it 5 caps. Deal?" and Lucy will always agree. I just tested this with Charisma only at 1.
THUMBS UP SO SLACK CAN SEE! :D
+MajorSlackVideos woot this worked
I was too late dang it but thanks for all the tips slack
MajorSlackVideos since I am in survival mode you can't fast travel so, can I walk to Abernathy farm, come back and they will respawn? Or what do I do?
why cant i speak with lucy?, i can only trade with her like a settler
Riko Brass that's because aberathy farm is now one of your settlements. she only buys if the farm is not a settlement
Obviously, you figured this out already, but 2 things: You CAN get 5 caps for the melons if you pick the right dialogue choices from Lucy. And second, DO NOT DO THE ABERNATHY QUEST!!! If you do it, (you have to retrieve a locket for Blake), this WILL NO LONGER WORK. Lucy will stop buying melons once the quest is finished.
DeadlyDanDaMan fuck is their any way I could retract this beacuse I was relying on this :/
I was wondering why Lucy wouldn't buy my melons anymore. Sold them to Connie for 3. :-(
I was under the impression that you'd need 60 women in your settlement in order to have 120 melons :P
+OhMagnetz ohh you... ;)
+OhMagnetz LOL!! XD
+OhMagnetz 40, if you are on Mars ;) Damn, we are all so mature here :)
+MrSanta78 Nice Total Recall reference!
+Robert Prather
Thank you kind Sir.
When you recruit the settlement you can’t sell melons there anymore, anyone else expirencing this
I can't remember the last time I had clean fingernails.
This man is batshit bonkers. But- I like it!
Melons will grow after 24 hour wait/fast travel.
Water purifiers do not work the same way.
That's really the only argument you need for melons vs water.
I realized I could fast travel around the farms from my farm in Sanctuary and everything would replenish during that time. I can't remember all the names, but basically, it's all the farms in the Northwest, West, and North Central map including Greygarden. With all the crops I have in Sanctuary, I basically have to make that circle once, and I'm able to replenish my adhesive to about 50. Thanks for the previous video on how to farm that, but the way, Slack!
I try to taylor several of my larger new settlements to farm for adhesive making crops.
Ah, the good old days of farming crops. I came across this when looking up information on the game to start playing it again. I used to use corn for my farms just because it was the easiest for me to plant in rows and then harvest by just looking straight ahead and sprinting through the field spamming e. You can make a fortune from farming if you're willing to put forth the tedious work of both setting up the farm and regularly manually harvesting it.
That being said, after my first playthrough I decided it wasn't even slightly worth it anymore. It's just too much time spent in the most boring version of a farming simulator ever made. By comparison, a few water purifiers can make you more caps without having to put forth any real effort on your part outside of collecting the initial parts to build them and checking the workshop inventory when you come back to town. After that, you can just use the caps you make from the water to buy shipments to replace the parts you burned on them.
This may work for the early game when you won't even necessarily have the resources/perks to build purifiers and you need a small boost to your caps for something but it isn't really worth it beyond that in my experience.
I do the water thing. Carla gets most of my water. Needless to say, I take some to Home Plate in DC with my other trade goods but when you have thousands of pure water, carrying a couple hundred or less is a drop in the bucket. I have been known to strip down, get into Power Armor and take a bigger load or two but not all that often.
3 caps a melon??!! 😂Ha! That ain't nothing. There's that one guy from Vault 81 that's always looking for tools. 15 caps a piece. Screwdrivers, combination wrench, ball peen hammer, wrench. Those fuckers are all over the commonwealth. 120 melons 360 caps. 120 tools x15 gets you 1800 caps I store all my shit for a while too. Started a new character haven't gotten to the vault yet and have a total of 500+ tools in a toolbox at sanctuary. I'm sure the plus about the melon farming is it's faster as you can just wait a bunch of hours. But at least with finding tools, your actually playing the game instead of doing a bunch of waiting/sleeping and shit.
Davis Gordon thats fuckomg awesome
Hey Slack, long time no watch. As for the screws and such, you get that perk that gives you screws and such when you scrap weapons is pretty handy. Since you fight a crap ton of enemies, and there are usually one or more weapon benches in the enemies' buildings, you can just scrap and go basically. Scrapping their own weapons for screws and such.
Dear Majorslackattack.. I love your videos and your gameplay! But could you make a new Skyrim run in the future? If you could i would love it so much! Ps have a good day! :)
+Veeti Finnstrom
You gotta be kidding. Fallout 4 has just been released. Everybody's been waiting years for this and is going ape over it including myself. And you want me to go back and do more Skyrim videos???
+Javakotka1
Unfortunately it was sabotaged by a 4chan raid. It's completely unreliable.
+Veeti Finnstrom You gotta understand, the Slackster has put over 1,000 hours into Skyrim, maybe even more! But here's this new game that offer's another 1,000 hours, as much as i would want to see a new run for Skyrim. Good suggestion, but not right now. Have a nice day.
Correct, but Slack has yet to truly experience the game.
+Fallout Night
What game? And what makes you the judge of true game experience? That's kind of presumptuous, don't you think?
So yo can farm Tatos in Sanctuary, Melons at Abernathy sell to Lucy, sell, then wait and sell in Diamond City, and back to Sanctuary to do a money loop?
Also, Vault-Tec paint on Power Armor boosts charisma.
Nice Little farm there i do wonder how you managed to grow melons from those plants that are floating above the ground though. ;)
Those are not "water"melons, they are "air"melons.
Mutfruit and water don't have to go crazy with it just make one dedicated farm for. Both like sanctuary or the island
You don't have to build the big expensive water pumps. I use the small pumps that produce 3 water, and use no power. I just keep adding small pumps as I get the material needed to build them. I'm playing on survivor mode and can't fast travel.
Derty Paws but the big ones give you purified water which you can sell for a ton, I'm fackin rich
When I activate a new workshop, a water pump is nearby as it is my first build along with a bed in my new settlement. Once I have that I don't really need settlers. I'm a carnivore anyway, not a vegan. Anything I've cooked up over and above what I carry with me goes into the next Workshop I visit. All my "settlements" store cooked food, crop type foods I have acquired, and junk for me. Junk tends to migrate toward "settlements" with workstations where it is scrapped. If I'm carrying junk and come across a workstation outside my "settlements", I might try to craft an upgrade. Works for me.
Hi - Appreciate this thread is now fairly old, and apologies if you've previously replied elsewhere, but after the locket is returned to Blake (and the settlement is now considered an extension) what suggestions is there to switch from the money making gig of Melons, now this is now 'switched off' ? Thanks.
You can also give mutfruits to Supervisor Brown for 2 caps a piece
I found a way to make quick money. Only getting 3 caps for it :( thank you for this video.
So... First time around went great. rinse and not repeat. Second time around all I get is "I would like to trade some things" otherwise she never says a word. Now I have a giant shite storm worthless melon farm
This is a lot like playing Farmville, huh? :)
SLACK, Name your next aracter STINKY PETE
LOL,,,, Vegi starch,, 3 corn,tato, and 3 muti fruit,, you get xp,, Drop in a settlement and "breakdown" to adhesive.
Lmao. I’ve played this game and never finished it. I just restarted playing, found this, now I’m rich quick. Thanks man
thanks slack, It took me about a week to set my farm up because I only played for about 15-20 minutes at a time but now I have so many melons that it takes a full 30 seconds for them to appear when I fast travel back :D
I don't know if I could handle playing only 15-20 minutes at a time. Lucky me. I've been retired since 1999. Got plenty of time on my hands.
@@edmartin875 I eventually shifted focus from melon farming to bottling purified water which pays much better after a while, like a snowball effect. Even when I start a new game I go straight to the water, the time it takes to gather the components and perks for the bigger purifiers are worth it.
If you haven't already, get the 'place anywhere' mod. It'll change your settlement building life.
When life gives u melons
+seanie russell
...Make melon-aid? :D
no burn lifes house down with the melons
you sell them for a Fuck Tun of caps
Cool vid Slack. Major Slack = Mr. Majestyk
Can anyone help me? I finished the mission "returning the favor" and I can't sell melons to Lucy anymore. Is there anyway to reset the quest so I can sell to her again? I have put over 28 hours irl time into this run and I don't want to restart the whole game. Thanks for anyone who can help!
Once you give the locket back they become one of your farms and Lucy won't buy from you anymore. Once you do this change your farm to tatos, corn etc. to make adhesives and such and drug up when you sell these to merchants. In reality melon farming should be over by 28 hours in the game if you already have the locket as you should have enough caps to grab the few early items you may want such as the Overseer's Guardian.
695👍
Id rather Slang Jet
They don't all respawn due to limited workers at Abernathy
Melon respawn for us brutes out there in the Wastelands. With Melon farming, beer and pills, I'll have caps even though I'm a lackluster brute with a Charisma of 1! (Might need some better threads, though, for a bit of a selling boost.)
Great instructions vid, Slack. At the point where I will soon decide which faction to join and of course I want to join Mark Lindsay and The Raiders, but Noooooo, don't think that is an option. So now I'm getting into the Settlement stuff to where I can take the time to build them up. Not particularly a settlement fan the way they did them but it is what is and it isn't anything other than what it is.
Ann cod man still treats me like shit even though I'm more rich than she'll ever be
Nice work, Slack. Merry Christmas to you and the Mrs..
+Ron Peck
Thanks! And right back at ya! :)
Sneaky Pete has some fancy shades :)
So i did the mission to allie abernathy farm with the minute men. Now whenever i try to sell mellons to her mybcharecter kust tries to trade with her. Anyone know how ro fix this? (Playing on ps4)
The 5 caps per melon market has flown the coop. Mom Abernathy is a minor trader. She will buy melons for 2-3 caps each depending on your Charisma. She does not have a lot of money and it takes about 3 gamedays for her to get a new bankroll. You sell some to Carla and then you could load up on melons and head south. Trudy at the Diner is the next trader. After that small traders are around with their small bankrolls but sometimes hard to find. You could sell/trade at Bunker hill and Diamond City. But all that is a lot of work for 2-3 caps per melon.
You could convert to the water selling racket. Sell price for pure water is in the range of 8-10 caps per water and you can carry twice as many water as melons on each trip. Water weighs 0.5, melons weigh 1.0, so 1 pound of melons will bring 2-3 caps, while 1 pound of water will bring you 16-20 caps.
the purifiers put purified water into your workshop automatically in case you didn't know.
using scarce resources to ensure a constant source of quick money would allow you to repurchase those resources. Basically econ 101. Build 5 industrial purifiers
Most people like putting points into killing skills and their mats to make weapons//armor early game. If you like playing survival with a huge handicap early though then your method sounds fine, otherwise it's a later game money maker but by that time caps are more or less pointless and the mats themselves are what's important. So you end up just selling water for more mats//drugs not caps.
Hey Major slack...its been a long time since I talked to you..your videos on Fallout 4 are A-1 Perfect. I look forward to you doing the full walkthrough on your other channel. ive been somewhat absence in the last couple of mths as I had to have serious lung surgery in September..thats what i get for smoking for 26 yrs. anyways I'm back and I follow your videos religiously. Have an awesome day and I look forward to your future tutorials.

+John Edwards
Welcome back! Sorry to hear about your health problems. Hope you get better soon! :)
Thanks I can assure you I'm a hard core non smoker now ....have been for almost 2 years. 😃
+DRAGOTH BELMONT
I did do that. For 2 years, I was posting all my videos at my other channel. Where were you? I even posted a moving video. I also posted a moving back video. And a video explaining the agenda of both my channels.
@@MajorSlackVideos The epidemy of a video maker.
Any advice (other than restarting) for someone who has already turned the locket into Lucy's dad and now Lucy is not available to sell to? I did this right at the first of the game before I learned that you could farm melons. I have too many hours into the game to start over but would love to set up some sort of money making farm. Is there a second best option top sell melons, etc? Thanks for any advice.
+Lane Segrest wish I would have read your comment earlier I had a nice melon trade going with Lucy for 5 caps per melon, but then did the locket mission :(
There is always the water racket. Build at least two industrial water purifiers and enough power generators. Two Purifiers gets between 75-100 water per day, depending on number of settlers and time of gameday. Problem there is Carla gets a lot, but not all of your water meaning most stuff and some water that you need to sell has to move south. If you have a lot to take south, I advise you to strip down and use power armor to do the hauling. Power Armor has carry weight of 310 unless you upgrade the leg armor for carry capacity, then it gets an extra 50 per leg. That's with armor workstation perk level 2 and science perk level 2.
Wow, a FO4 economics and business video! You could corner the produce market!
Slow but made 10000 caps on 30 minutes like if you can doit to or beat it
Just press "~" and paste "player.additem 0000000f 10000" and you got them
I giggled every time you said melons, "hehe"! Thanks for the tips farmer Slack, Thumbs UP! ;)
Noooooo
So if you have abernathy farm as a settlement you can't do this?
Correct.
This is good news to me, I hate setting up water purifiers!
I finally bought the game and it seems that my christmas will most certainly be very post-apocalyptic :) Thanks for the videos, merry christmas and be well, sir!
I always thought it was pretty easy. Build purifier, build power generator, sting a wire between the two. Job done.
Have you tried any soups or anything?
How to get the suit?
Rescue kidnapped victim at top of Trinity Tower after killing a tower full of Super Mutants. You get the suit when you get him to the first floor lobby. You also get a possible new companion candidate and a Melee Bobblehead from their cell.
great idea and video
Does this still works?
Can you still do this if it's a settlement?
Yeah , because it's literally a settlement
Thx lots
Poisoned caltrapsonky requires steel, vault tech lunch boxes only requires steel, I also farm 45 ammo for spray and pray, faster I make my own grenades faster, but the melon farm is handy because there isn't a cap limit. You can also farm mutfruit for greentop
Hey Slack, the reason all those tato plants don't respawn is because they're "withered" or whatever. If a plant is left unworked by a settler for a certain amount of in-game time, it withers and no longer produces food. Not only that, but the plant isn't even targetable in workshop mode, meaning you can't get rid of this stupid dead plant... I can only assume that part is a bug.
I don't think this mechanic is explained in the game at all, and it's pretty frustrating. Those particular plants at Abernathy Farm will always become withered because the NPCs don't work them during the time before you unlock the workshop there.
As far as I know, there are two ways to potentially fix withered plants. One, assign a settler to a nearby plant, and he or she may possibly choose to farm one of the withered plants as well. After one growth cycle, the plant should bear fruit and will be interactable again. Should. Two, you can destroy some plants by shooting/exploding them. Repairing them in build mode will leave you with a functional plant again. The reason I say "some plants" is because I haven't gotten this to work on a consistent basis. Sometimes I've just been left with an uninteractable, broken plant.
For the PC players, the best solution may be to disable or markfordelete the plants in the command line interface. If you take this route, be extremely careful and save before you do anything, as it's very possible to disable the wrong object. It's silly that you have to go to these lengths to get rid of a dumb, dead plant, but there you have it.
+Savage Noble
Thanks for pointing this out. I just experienced this 'wither' phenomenon on a big farm I built for another project I'm working on. I noticed that when you overplant, that is, plant way more than your settlers can handle, if all your other resources are in excess as well, e.g., water, beds, defense, etc, when you set up a recruitment beacon, settlers will arrive and automatically assign themselves to crops that aren't assigned.
Originally I thought this was great and a cool way to auto-assign settlers as soon as they arrived.
But now I realized if the settlers don't come in fast enough, some of the plants that were 'overplanted' wither. Just like you said, inaccessible in workshop mode and never bear fruit.
+Savage Noble
I just found a ridiculously simple solution to the withered plant problem.
1. Stand directly over the plants/crops that are withered or 'broken' (inaccessible via workshop).
2. Look down at the crops.
3. Do a quick save.
4. Do a quick load.
The crops should now be accessible via workshop. I just fixed a huge patch of 35 melons that was hopelessly broken for many game hours and throughout many fast traveling away and back, shooting the crops (which I don't recommend by the way, it just screwed things up even more). I took the idea from this Steam thread.
