Don't forget you can simply use water/jet as currency. Even if your vendor doesn't have a lot, you can buy as much as your want and trade the difference with your water/jet and purchase 2000-3000 caps worth of items even if the vendor only has 800 caps and you have 0. It makes it easy. Water/jet is your currency.
I am sure others have done this, but I will just mention the water purifiers are the easiest, quickest and most time-saving method there is. In Sanctuary I have 15 or so of the large water purifiers making me, on average, 480-510 waters every game day. I have this at a couple of locations where I can grab 1200-1500 waters quickly (I have all the perks that let you fast travel while overweight as well as using action points to walk normally when weighed down (those are two of the most important abilities to get I think). Secondly, I where clothes with high charisma when dealing to get better prices and basically, I pay for things not with caps, but with water. Purified water is my "currency". Since I can go to a vendor with 0 caps and 1200 waters, at 16 caps per water, it's the same as having 1200x16 caps. You can rack up a massive bill and just "sell" the waters and walk away even. So for me, I mass store the waters, currently I have around 25,000 purified waters stored away for "spending" and on the way out of my settlement, I grab the 480+ waters and load up on ammo and whatever else I may need or just sell them to the vendors for their 800-1200 caps they have at the moment. It's a beautiful system and because of that I spend no time hunting down caps (although I loot everything too) or supplies. I have constant building supplies from my massive water stores and you can do that at multiple locations and quickly fast travel and in a few minutes have 2000+ purified waters to save at 13-16 caps each! The waters never stop and so the caps/supplies never stop. I found that earlier in the game and it save me lots of time. :-) P.S. watching the whole video I forgot to mention I have done the jet thing too and at 40 per jet, it helps a lot as he mentioned. I was doing both for a while but found because of the perks of weight not hindering me from moving or fast traveling, I can just grab 1200-1500 as I mentioned without wasting time of making things (and I know, it takes on a few seconds, but why use my resources when I can get water for free).
Quick tip for my fellow water farmers, I’ve noticed that water doesn’t collect how it should within the workshop. What I do is set up a safe right next to the workshop, and every time I visit one of my farms, I pull it all out and throw it in the safe. I find I build it up two to three times as fast. I’ve also noticed if I do that and go back a few minutes later, without leaving the settlement, there is another giant surplus in the workshop again. I think it’s a bug that occurs when one settlement is making just stupid amounts of something.
Gennaro water farming may not be glamorous, and people keep asking if you are going to break your back, but it’s an honest living. Also FO4 is super fun. Revisiting from time to time is especially rewarding when you can get anything you want because you want it, no mods.
+Elephant Warrior I honestly made nearly 70,000 caps from just picking stuff up and selling it. I never did much of the mass production but now that I'm buying shipments left, right, and centre, I've been burning through my caps FAST
+Potema Dunne Rad X is a good one, but in about a day or two of playing, i get 1000 purified water so i perfer water, all it takes is dumping all your weapons and stuff and going to Diamond City
If you don't mind your murder score going up, the Brotherhood of Steel is a great source of caps. After the Reunions quest, they are all over the place. If you haven't done anything to make the BOS hostile, they aren't hostile to you. So just let them walk by, then turn and ambush. Lots of weapons and armor to scrap or sell, plus power armor bits are worth plenty.
I reckon it would be cool to add a sort of barge/boat trader that would use ingame waterways to travel and would stop at little docks you could build on the water like a purifier only at waterfront settlements! Maybe you could also pay a few caps to ride on their barges!
I get 535 Purified water from The Castle every few days. Sell them to the ammo vendor for weightless ammo, sell that to your suppliers. I also make Jet and Jet Fuel and sell it. I have over 400k caps.
I have 256K caps, so I normally buy aluminum from Arturo. I normally sell pipe based weapons and whatever armor that is plugging up my inventory. I make ~2-3K profit per shopping trip and I never wait for them to respawn their inventory. Thanks for all your videos.
Get SCRAPPER - many places you go have workbenches, scrap as you go! Combat & Assault Rifles with mods are 'chocka-block' FULL of materials, alll nice & light! Simples!!!
+Jimboola True. The only *slight* annoyance with this is that, if you're like me, you tend to leave behind cheap weapons and armor on your enemies' corpses until you find a workbench. Then I go make another scavenging pass or two, so I can scrap all of that crap. :)
There's some things I have done that help me. First: I have maxed out the Strong Back perk. Carry weight is no longer a problem and I can move normally as long as I have AP. I can also fast travel even when over encumbered. So I will take out all hostiles in any location and loot EVERYTHING off their bodies and anything you can find in that location (don't sort and decide, just take). I get so much that I can't even sell everything in a single day at multiple vendor locations. At each vendor, start selling your highest priced items till you get close to their cap limit then sell smaller priced items to get every last cap (I will often sell ammo priced at one cap to even out or even purchase ammo I use so I don't waste any caps) Second: I invest in Local Leader and Cap Collector to make my own market place. The initial investment may be a little high but you will be getting this money back quickly. (you don't have to build the top tier shops but it makes things go faster) I have also maxed out Cap Collector to invest the $500 to a vendor to increase their buying ability. Third: I make a Things-To-Sell storage chest at my marketplace settlement. Many times I will want to take a break from selling all my valuable loot and go on multiple missions in a row, so I have made a special storage chest that I will quick travel to between missions to unload all my excess items. Then when you have some time, your loot is ready to sell at a moments notice. Forth: I have maxed out my Charisma. I usually equip as many Charisma boosting items as I can to get a solid, no time limit boost in selling price. I don't normally use chems or alcohol to boost my Charisma further only because I don't like dealing with addiction and time limit and I'd rather sell those stat boosting items then use them (except maybe grape mentats, I just love the taste of grape). Now this being said, I don't find charisma too necessary. Its more of a way to speed up the process. You are going to be so loaded with loot to sell that you will still be clearing out vendors of all their caps. These are the main things I do go get caps for resources. I may do a few other things like Scrapping VS Selling and Legendary Farming but I wont go into that because it slows down the process.
Guys looks like no one knows about Bobby buys jet for 70 caps each... I havnt done the vault 81 quest since I don't know if he stops buying jet... He is my main source of my money
An exploit for that guy is to talk to him and say yes when he asks do you have Jet, then throw away all your Jet, and he'll give you 75 caps even though you lose nothing, its pretty cheaty I'll admit.
"Not very fancy what I do" and then goes on and shows the most f'n insane build I've seen! Really nice job!! You gave us a lot of pretty damn good tips!!
If you never use a flamer my suggest is grabbing the Chemist perk and upgrading you jet into jet fuel. It costs only 1 jet and 5 flamer fuel. Kind of pointless chem upgrade 10 sec slow to 15 sec slow but it does sell for more caps. Plus more leveling. Also if you are low on flamer fuel it is really cheap to buy, usually 1 cap per 1 fuel or just raid the Forged place. So ya twice the exp and probably 20% more caps.
I use the fusion core generator to power all my water purifiers and it works perfect for me I get thousands of caps from selling purified water from all my major settlements
i stock up so much jet when i cook i end up using my jet instead of caps when trading. its a great way to save caps. Also never forget to save that pre war money. its worth caps and weighs nothing even on survival
Four Leaf Fishpacking Plant is also a great location for alloy. Thanks for this tip, I have a 'meds' box at castle with over 100 jet, just never use it, hadn't dawned on me to use it to buy stuff now I'm finally running low on .38 ammo. Keep up the great work, you've inspired me to create some great builds. Nick Knowles the big build, eat your heart out.
I haven't been anywhere south in the map yet or to Diamond city with only a death and three completed quests, I'm level 22 loads of legendary weapons including a wounding sub machine gun, plasma infused 10mm, an instigating laser musket, a penetrating laser rifle, and a freezing and penetrating plasma rifle. I just farm every location in the northern part of the map and I easily have over a three thousand wood and steel and over five hundred of everything else. It may sound boring running back in fourth across the top of the map but on this play through I've still yet to uncover every unmarked location and I'm already rich in late game gear, materials and caps. The point is take your time and have fun you'll be rewarded handsomely. Another reason I've been holding off and staying off certain roads is because I'm going to wait until I have emporiums and max settlers so I can get my hands on all legendary vendors, purely for aesthetic, completion, and bragging rights lol.
+C Vi You can get two of the most powerful guns in the game - Spray n' Pray and Guardian's Overseer - as early as level 2 without ever having to fight anything. See www.cardsharkgames.info/f4/best_weapons_early.htm Also, you should be able to get over 4000 wood just by scrapping everything (including all the trees) in Sanctuary and Red Rocket. And you can get a Fat Man and a mini-nuke from Robotics Disposal and another mini-nuke from USAF Satellite Station Olivia.
nrford100 I prefer legendary drops because all though random I've already got guns that vastly outclass what vendors can sale or what you get through quest rewards for the most. There's really only three maybe four guns I'd honestly consider picking up for field use at this point and not just something to collect or pawn off to my settlers.
I get over 500 purified water from purifiers in Sanctuary. That’s with a fully enclosed “water treatment facility” that looks lore and has walk ways in between all the purifiers. I’ve combined that with the perk that lets you fast travel while being over weight. So I grab the 500 water and fast travel to traders and pick up shipments and ammo. Also while I’m building I regularly transfer my water from the workbench to a crate next to it. I’ve currently have 4000 of them, that’s more than enough to buy every shipment in the game within about 30 minutes.
With Scrapper (one or two ranks), any respawning raider camp is useful for getting copper--you break down all of their pipe weapons, and if they have mods on them, boom, copper for days. Concord, the Corvega plant, the quarries, the satellite stations. Try Easy City Downs for a good double-dip, but I'm not sure what if anything respawns there.
One thing you didn't mention that I do is you can carry a hat, glasses, and torso clothing items that increase Charisma. Put them on before buying or selling and you'll make more caps, especially if you're making a big purchase/sale.
On my first few plays I did the water farming. Had something like 800 coming in from a "water plant" I made on Spectacle Island. Now I am just doing settlement building so I use the crafting glitch. Get some mole rat meat and glitch make Mirelurk queen steaks. They sell for around 70-80 caps in Diamond City. Did the Deathclaw steaks but the Mirelurk makes 2 each time.
Love your videos, they are a huge inspiration. Keep up the great work. You are, by far, my favorite fallout youtuber and I think you deserve more views .
I'm sure someone has already mentioned this but for easy copper and leather farming, build raider cages at a few settlements. Then never let the raider out, every in game week or so, you'll be attacked by raiders. Pick up all their armor and guns and whatever other useless scrap they have on em. With the perk scrapper 2, just drop all of them and scrap them in workshop mode. Lots of free copper and leather plus increasing your settlement size for future building. You'll also get some steel out of this process as well which as you stated no one should ever run out of with how many vendors sell it. For selling, I usually do PsychoJet, I'll take the vendors entire shipment stock and then coffee cups, blast radius game and everything else with nuclear material, and then anything with fiber optics. I tend to run around all the major settlement vendors, Diamond City, Goodneighbor and Bunker Hill and finish up with Drumlin before depositing everything into a workbench. Plus psychojet makes some of the encounters while playing on survival tolerable. So I make sure I always have a handful of them on my person at all times...just in case.
+Melissa Anderson only slows it a little bit. Also messes with the NPCs path finding very little. If you go 2-3 times over the limit, you're okay, but any more. Stop
Do you use an Elgato hd60 to record? When i use the software that they tell you to download to record the live commentary is never in sync with the video please help me if you do live commentary or do u voice over? Thanks
Hey mate the only thing I would add to this is make sure you invest 500 caps in all the usual traders you sell to. It means you can sell them more jet at one time and works out great in the long run.
+no_good_namez It's R1 on PS4 so I'm guessing RB on Xbox (don't know what format you're playing on mate) When you interact with any trader the tab along the bottom of the screen is what you want to be looking at. The option to "Invest" should be on the far right hand side. Most people only invest in settlers they assign to run shops but it works with any trader you meet.
Hey Ive never seen your videos before, and Im very uneducated on workshop building, but do you use the more building room settlement glitch? I would use it on Xbox One but I have a lvl 90 char and Im scared at the thought of doing the glitch and it corrupting my save.
It's not 100% reliable but a kinda fun way to get extra caps. If you capture a deathclaw obviously your settlement gets attacked by deathclaws fairly regularly. (even though I had an Alpha captured in Starlight I only got attacked by standard deathclaws) They become easy pickings level 50+ and I was getting attacked by 3 everytime I travelled back. anyway, with all the caps perks 1 deathclaw meat is 71 caps and each deathclaw drops 2-3. Obviously the weight gives it the same problems as water but it's about 10 times as valuable and you can't reuse deathclaw meat for any of the cages.
At level 82, I still use the purified water farming method. I have the Level 6 Strength perks maxed out so I can move and fast travel while overloaded. I have big ugly farms in Sanctuary and Nordhagen Beach, and bounce between the two. Spectacle Island looks like it could be a good farming spot, too, but that is a lot of moving around. I usually have about 700+ waters, and those go for 12k-ish, I believe. Once I have loaded up on water, I'll go to Abernathy, Greygarden and Diamond City to buy out all the wood shipments. Prior to the DLC patch, I was struggling with keeping materials, specifically wood, and was using my waters to buy out a weapons vendor of their heavier weapons that had wood, such as shotguns and hunting rifles. Now that there is a lot of concrete available, these trips have become less and less necessary. I get steel from scrapping guns that I pick up from adventuring. I also have the perk where you can invest in shops to give them more buying caps. So I can trade the water in for the supplies I need, and for the caps that the vendor has on them.
Could you please give some tips on how to make believable toilet/bathroom arrangements? i reckon its a vital part of settlements i havent seen many people cover.
+gregery jones Since there's no running water or sewer lines, the only believable toilet/bathroom is a metal pot. Now if only you could assign a settler to empty it out for you.
+Jeremy Gordon Yeah, but my point was that building a toilet in the real world doesn't hook it up to non-existing water and sewer lines, thus using a pot is more realistic.
I have also found that it pays to have extra water purifiers at your settlements that have good fertilizer production. The reason behind that is twofold first water cell secondly because of the weight involved having the water or the fertilizer is produced means you can trade your water for the fertilizer and then use the plastic you carry with you. Institute weapons are excellent for scrapping for this so you can literally Farm synths for plastic use the fertilizer and plastic for jet manufacturing and then sell the jet 2 the vendor at that settlement.
I set up a shitton of Water Purifiers in my river at Sanctuary and use that to trade. Right now I have it set up to make 960 water, so I get a lot in my workbench everyday. It's pretty amazing, especially with the lvl 30 fast travel while encumbered perk.
Dave: Excellent, thanks. I try never to pay for items needed. I use whatever guns and stuff picked up from Raiders and Muties, then if more caps are needed use ammo that I am not using, I also use water. As well I use Stimpacks since we literally find hundreds of them I could never possibly use all the stimpacks I find. I try to make the vendors caps down to zero each time I trade. I wear charisma suit for trading. I take Grape Mentats for trading large purchases. Charisma +5. Hubflowers also make Grape Mentats. Great helps. Thanks :)
How did you get trader Rylee in your settlement? She keeps dissapear after a while for me. Cheked yesterday. I beleive you did not assign her to emporium?
level 28 character, 3 settlements with 999 water production. drop water, have follower pick it up to get around carry limit. for sheer ease of use this can't be beat. I had 999 water in one settlement by level six. by the time shit breaks or you start getting raided badly you have the caps and resources to fix them, plus the water increases relatively quickly.
if starting a fresh playthrough then head to DC, get Marowski's chem deal started, rob and murder the couriers, head to vault 81, pay or blag your way in with high charisma, head to the generator and find bobby de luca, avoiding his sister. he'll pay you 75 for any jet you have in multiple single transactions(most merchants pay about 36-40 max i've seen). so if you make your own aswell you can get a fortune. just keep clicking to talk, he has unlimited resources as long as you dont let him leave. if he walks away i think he has new dialogue, but if you just keep talking to him in the generator room he wont stop buying till you leave him alone. i got about 7000 caps off him before i ran out of jet. never knew junkies where that financially succesful, probably the richest npc i've encountered.
I usually sell all the pre-war money I find, and any ammo I know I'll never use. Gets you a fair amount of dosh. You can get heaps of screws and gears from the Giddyup Buttercup parts from the Wilsons factory near Quincy.
Do you know if the doorway glitch still works? The one you use in sanctuary to put doorways in. I play PC and I can't really get it to work anymore. The doorway has to stick out more for it to work now. Before I never had a problem with it. Do you usually put the door in first or do you fix the roof first
I have 6 industrial water purifiers at Taffington Boathouse, 2 at Sanctuary, and 3 at the Castle - I get around 450 purified water every couple of days or so. I also hang on to the *Sharp legendary armor pieces and wear them over the green shirt and combat boots along with black rim glasses and a formal hat. It's a increase of 8 Charisma if you have all five armor pieces. *Increase of 1 Charisma and Intelligence - These pieces are also good to wear while building, to maximize the amount of XP you get.
I don't know how often you respond to comments but I had a question regarding something you had in your Red Rocket settlement. You pass by an area in one video that has a statue and lawn flamingos next to it... How did you get the lawn flamingos? I've wanted to place them for a very long time but didn't think you could... Thanks!
3:00 Did Chemist perk is needed to produce Jet out of fertilizer? (and it is also a moneymaker, though I never try this Drug Lord approach yet, but instead flooding p. water to the market and it also does fine.)
I feel like a duff not waiting 48 hours for shipments to restock over and over. I'm all about tedious stuff. I can never get enough of wood and now I'll be rolling in in. Thanks!
I collect money the simple way: Hoard ammo, and then use it to tap-out the caps of all vendors. I also have some water purifiers running in my settlements, and periodically sell the purified water from those if I'm running short.
I think my game has a bug but... Whenever I try to move settlers to my Sanctuary Hills, it won't allow me to. But I can move them to any other settlement. Do you have any advice for this? I really want sanctuary to be my main settlement
You might have the maximum number of settlers. If you increase your charisma you can get more settlers. This includes temporary increases like chems or clothing, just send settlers there while the charisma boosts are active then they will stay. There are vids about getting the largest number of settlers. Hope that helps.
I use a glitch to get reactor coolant. It unfortunately only works if you have sided with the Brotherhood in the end. I don't remember the guy's name, but the glitch was very simple, and he used radroach meat to make Deathclaw steaks. I did the same thing with cutting fliud and Reactor coolant, and I give those to Proctor Ingram for infinite moneys :D
Though it gets a bit tedious; you can grab any tires you see around your settlements. I don't think they respawn, but I'd they do, you can get a nice, steady surplus of rubber as it generates 4 per tire
I don't see steel shipment in my game. Do the vendors start offering different shipments at a higher level? I'm also a muppet that runs out of steel, and I'm Canadian. It could be a Canadian thing.
I love your videos there's always different tips and tricks that I enjoy finding from either building or something like this. What I would suggest for PC users is the Northland diggers mod as it gives you crafting stations that do specific tasks for materials. I do not know if it's available for Xbox I know for certain that it is not available for PS4.
Davey - thanks for all the awesome vids, really appreciate them. I've got a question - with the new survival mode, how would you go about doing caps in early-, mid- and late-game? Any reply would be appreciated, but of course a video would be awesome :) keep up the good stuff!
Got it - I also find it quite appealing rp wise to have to struggle and scavenge proper in survival mode, but it does complicate things when you also want to make nice settlements. Thanks for the answer though
For aluminum, Arturo in Diamond City for a shipment of 50 pcs, Refus in Goodneighbor for 25 pcs, Vault 95 has loads of surgical trays, and I never miss an aluminum can.
Imagine youre in diamond city and the guy from the vault sits on a bench and just goes brain dead for a solid 48 hours then buys all stock in sight and returns to being braindead
ya know after watching ya video, ya can call me a bit nutty, but yesterday I spent for the most part, well over 10 hours just collecting wood, steel, concrete and fertilizer shipments and bags as well when I could and oh yeah and plastic. And I will most likely do the same today, I'm so depleted of all building material. PS: ya are playing on PC right? if not and are on XB1 how are ya recording your videos from XB1?
+SgtDreTecKeGamer i really dont know he could have just used the ps4s built in recording system or he coulda used some sort of capture device like a elgato. but not really sure
The Irish Pride Industries Shipyard (just W of County Crossing) (four leaf clover) respawns about a dozen bags of concrete, and life savers every other day
Scrounger perk. I send my eyebots to search for expensive ammo. 2mm EC, missiles, mini nukes, and such. After grabbing all the junk there, I usually go to diamond city, buying the 4 steel shipments and concrete as well as a shipment of wood from Diamond City market. If I can sell the ammo and still make money after buying all those shipments, which happens a lot, I'm good.
Your Jet empire thing is what I've been doing for a while. But it's funny, because you're only 20 levels below me and I've got something like 380k caps... I need to stop making drugs.
Yes, that was quite useful. And since I'm roleplaying a raider chief-like Sole Survivor, making money on drug market is really great for the sake of RP. Thanks again for your help. ^^
I used to not car about settlement building because of how unintuitive it was but after I learned the rug glitch I've been able to make some really cool stuff
+seanie russell In survival mode, it gives you loads of safe places where you can sleep. And since you can't fast travel, you can sell the jet you make to own settlement vendors for caps without having to do long distance trips to Diamond City and Goodneighbor.
+seanie russell One other thing, and this is just in the normal mode (and survival too), by time you have level 60 and six vendors in each of your settlements with a happiness in the 80s, and 21 settlers, you can make 50 caps per 12 (24?) hrs per settlement without doing anything. It may not sound like much, but if you do a round once an "in game" week of settlements, you will pick up 1200 caps or so per settlement. I have over 190K of caps right now, and I buy loads of shipments of material and loads of 2mm ammo and fusion cores.
(May be a bit late) Since one of the latest updates, your settlement general goods traders sell shipments of wood and steel. Quite useful, but only a few hundred. I still run out of steel and wood repeatedly, but considering my current build, I go through maybe 1000 of each per hour. This is enough time to fill up luckily.
if you want fiber optics steel and crystal farming location the laser hallway for jamaica plains treasure room you can reset and defuse the lasers over and over and if you have a robot you can move alot at once okay to turn the lasers on you have to be on end of hallway where door is there is a button there hit it and lasers turn back on and you work your way along until all defused return turn back on and repeat hope that helps everyone for steel fiber optics and crystal some things everyone can't have enough of
I have a good way of getting caps at beginning of game. It’s slowish but in the end u have lots of caps. May contain spoilers(and yes I know I’m late) also if your a chem addict this is not for you Step 1: do diamond city blues Step 2: screw over whoever you’re working with( for extra caps wait until u get back to diamond city and if you have high charisma u can get a job to kill the person you were working with) Step 3: loot all then chems from the job or from your now deceased partner Step 4: sell chems to every vendor you can find and profit
I have the Xbox one. Kill a stingwing. Go to a cooking station, go to stingwing fillet. press right on the d- pad immediately press down. If done correctly, Tasty Deathclaw Omelette will be highlighted, but you will be asked if you want to cook it. Choose yes, and you will actually receive 5 Tasty Deathclaw omelettes. Rinse, wash, repeat.Lol Take a grape mentat, and rack up on building supplies
Another thing to note... If you run the repeatable quests from the BOS in the Cambridge police station, loose items and locked chests/safes are refreshed at the quest location.. but not the open unlocked chests..
sell stimpaks, chems, radaway, rad x, unused ammo types. and pick up all the junk you can while on quests or just exploring. grilled radstag gives +25 weight for 1 real-time hour, but you could also just wear power armor.
shipment duplication glitch FTW. 500k+ wood, 500k+ steel, 100k+ all other build materials all for a total of about 10k caps and 15 minutes work. maxing out the strong back perk helps to no end as well as that allows fast travel when overencumbered
Water farms in the castle, sanctuary, and spectacle island. Each make over 600 water, then I do jet. I have over 30,000 water, and close to 10,000 jet. I also set up traders next to workshops, so I don’t have to walk far. Edit I have over 300k caps because I just trade, I don’t buy anything.

Don't forget you can simply use water/jet as currency. Even if your vendor doesn't have a lot, you can buy as much as your want and trade the difference with your water/jet and purchase 2000-3000 caps worth of items even if the vendor only has 800 caps and you have 0. It makes it easy. Water/jet is your currency.
I love settlements. One of the highlights of the game and the community
I am sure others have done this, but I will just mention the water purifiers are the easiest, quickest and most time-saving method there is. In Sanctuary I have 15 or so of the large water purifiers making me, on average, 480-510 waters every game day. I have this at a couple of locations where I can grab 1200-1500 waters quickly (I have all the perks that let you fast travel while overweight as well as using action points to walk normally when weighed down (those are two of the most important abilities to get I think).
Secondly, I where clothes with high charisma when dealing to get better prices and basically, I pay for things not with caps, but with water. Purified water is my "currency". Since I can go to a vendor with 0 caps and 1200 waters, at 16 caps per water, it's the same as having 1200x16 caps. You can rack up a massive bill and just "sell" the waters and walk away even. So for me, I mass store the waters, currently I have around 25,000 purified waters stored away for "spending" and on the way out of my settlement, I grab the 480+ waters and load up on ammo and whatever else I may need or just sell them to the vendors for their 800-1200 caps they have at the moment.
It's a beautiful system and because of that I spend no time hunting down caps (although I loot everything too) or supplies. I have constant building supplies from my massive water stores and you can do that at multiple locations and quickly fast travel and in a few minutes have 2000+ purified waters to save at 13-16 caps each! The waters never stop and so the caps/supplies never stop. I found that earlier in the game and it save me lots of time. :-)
P.S. watching the whole video I forgot to mention I have done the jet thing too and at 40 per jet, it helps a lot as he mentioned. I was doing both for a while but found because of the perks of weight not hindering me from moving or fast traveling, I can just grab 1200-1500 as I mentioned without wasting time of making things (and I know, it takes on a few seconds, but why use my resources when I can get water for free).
Ah, the good old fashioned make drugs to fund your empire trick. :D

Workshop mode is VERY addictive isn't it? Waaaay too addictive in my opinion. But, yet I keep firing the game up. >_
Quick tip for my fellow water farmers, I’ve noticed that water doesn’t collect how it should within the workshop. What I do is set up a safe right next to the workshop, and every time I visit one of my farms, I pull it all out and throw it in the safe. I find I build it up two to three times as fast. I’ve also noticed if I do that and go back a few minutes later, without leaving the settlement, there is another giant surplus in the workshop again. I think it’s a bug that occurs when one settlement is making just stupid amounts of something.
Thank you! Glad I’m not the only one watching these old videos
Gennaro water farming may not be glamorous, and people keep asking if you are going to break your back, but it’s an honest living. Also FO4 is super fun. Revisiting from time to time is especially rewarding when you can get anything you want because you want it, no mods.
I buy fertilizer, than sell jet. I also get 250 water every few days from Sanctuary.
Same
+Elephant Warrior I honestly made nearly 70,000 caps from just picking stuff up and selling it. I never did much of the mass production but now that I'm buying shipments left, right, and centre, I've been burning through my caps FAST
+Potema Dunne sell water and sell jet to that fuckboy in vault 81
+ll--Naschkatze--ll No, I helped him kick his addiction. Healthy living is the way to go #potemacare
healthy living dont matter when you can sell him jet for 75 caps a piece
Jet, Purified Water, Trading hubs
Those are everything i use
+DasGewehr 89 I sell excess Radaway and Rad-X
+Potema Dunne Rad X is a good one, but in about a day or two of playing, i get 1000 purified water so i perfer water, all it takes is dumping all your weapons and stuff and going to Diamond City
Your videos are pure gold. I listen to them when I’m playing and you have some seriously killer tips so thank you for doing you! 🙌🏻🥳
If you don't mind your murder score going up, the Brotherhood of Steel is a great source of caps.
After the Reunions quest, they are all over the place. If you haven't done anything to make the BOS hostile, they aren't hostile to you. So just let them walk by, then turn and ambush. Lots of weapons and armor to scrap or sell, plus power armor bits are worth plenty.
I reckon it would be cool to add a sort of barge/boat trader that would use ingame waterways to travel and would stop at little docks you could build on the water like a purifier only at waterfront settlements! Maybe you could also pay a few caps to ride on their barges!
+connor pitcher That literally sounds awesome, but I can imagine a mirelurk queen rising up out or the water and ripping the barge apart....RIP.
+Liam Moore ikr! I think that would make sense.
+Liam Moore it would be hilarious to see.
Good idea! You get ideas like that often? That's creative. (Sincerely).
I get 535 Purified water from The Castle every few days. Sell them to the ammo vendor for weightless ammo, sell that to your suppliers. I also make Jet and Jet Fuel and sell it. I have over 400k caps.
You're a fucking genius!
You're a fucking genius!
wow cool
+Facebones Norton
Do you have a problem with the Castle getting attacked a lot with that much water production?
+nrford100 Not very often, but rarely I get destroyed by a MASSIVE horde of charred ferals. but the repairs are cheap enough that it's worth it.
I have 256K caps, so I normally buy aluminum from Arturo. I normally sell pipe based weapons and whatever armor that is plugging up my inventory. I make ~2-3K profit per shopping trip and I never wait for them to respawn their inventory.
Thanks for all your videos.
Get SCRAPPER - many places you go have workbenches, scrap as you go! Combat & Assault Rifles with mods are 'chocka-block' FULL of materials, alll nice & light! Simples!!!
+Jimboola True. The only *slight* annoyance with this is that, if you're like me, you tend to leave behind cheap weapons and armor on your enemies' corpses until you find a workbench. Then I go make another scavenging pass or two, so I can scrap all of that crap. :)
James Walton
Too true, too true indeed!
especially highly customized pipe weapons for copper and others for other things like nuclear material etc
My only problem is finding 'fibre-optics' - aside from Microscopes I have no idea where to find the stuff.
Jimboola i think you get them in upgraded snipers and/or combat shotgun and rifle. Sorry If I'm wrong :P
There's some things I have done that help me.
First: I have maxed out the Strong Back perk. Carry weight is no longer a problem and I can move normally as long as I have AP. I can also fast travel even when over encumbered. So I will take out all hostiles in any location and loot EVERYTHING off their bodies and anything you can find in that location (don't sort and decide, just take). I get so much that I can't even sell everything in a single day at multiple vendor locations. At each vendor, start selling your highest priced items till you get close to their cap limit then sell smaller priced items to get every last cap (I will often sell ammo priced at one cap to even out or even purchase ammo I use so I don't waste any caps)
Second: I invest in Local Leader and Cap Collector to make my own market place. The initial investment may be a little high but you will be getting this money back quickly. (you don't have to build the top tier shops but it makes things go faster) I have also maxed out Cap Collector to invest the $500 to a vendor to increase their buying ability.
Third: I make a Things-To-Sell storage chest at my marketplace settlement. Many times I will want to take a break from selling all my valuable loot and go on multiple missions in a row, so I have made a special storage chest that I will quick travel to between missions to unload all my excess items. Then when you have some time, your loot is ready to sell at a moments notice.
Forth: I have maxed out my Charisma. I usually equip as many Charisma boosting items as I can to get a solid, no time limit boost in selling price. I don't normally use chems or alcohol to boost my Charisma further only because I don't like dealing with addiction and time limit and I'd rather sell those stat boosting items then use them (except maybe grape mentats, I just love the taste of grape). Now this being said, I don't find charisma too necessary. Its more of a way to speed up the process. You are going to be so loaded with loot to sell that you will still be clearing out vendors of all their caps.
These are the main things I do go get caps for resources. I may do a few other things like Scrapping VS Selling and Legendary Farming but I wont go into that because it slows down the process.
Guys looks like no one knows about Bobby buys jet for 70 caps each... I havnt done the vault 81 quest since I don't know if he stops buying jet... He is my main source of my money
An exploit for that guy is to talk to him and say yes when he asks do you have Jet, then throw away all your Jet, and he'll give you 75 caps even though you lose nothing, its pretty cheaty I'll admit.
With the Scrapper perk rank 3 you can scrap Assault Rifles for like 10 steel and 20 aluminum
But the scrapper perk is kind of annoying that it highlights some items.
"Not very fancy what I do" and then goes on and shows the most f'n insane build I've seen! Really nice job!! You gave us a lot of pretty damn good tips!!
If you need wood I have 2 suggestions. 1. Spectical Island. It has a downright forest. 2. Download a nude mod ( ;
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) kinky
+ShadowSeventy ps4
If you never use a flamer my suggest is grabbing the Chemist perk and upgrading you jet into jet fuel. It costs only 1 jet and 5 flamer fuel. Kind of pointless chem upgrade 10 sec slow to 15 sec slow but it does sell for more caps. Plus more leveling. Also if you are low on flamer fuel it is really cheap to buy, usually 1 cap per 1 fuel or just raid the Forged place. So ya twice the exp and probably 20% more caps.
I use the fusion core generator to power all my water purifiers and it works perfect for me I get thousands of caps from selling purified water from all my major settlements
i stock up so much jet when i cook i end up using my jet instead of caps when trading. its a great way to save caps. Also never forget to save that pre war money. its worth caps and weighs nothing even on survival
Four Leaf Fishpacking Plant is also a great location for alloy. Thanks for this tip, I have a 'meds' box at castle with over 100 jet, just never use it, hadn't dawned on me to use it to buy stuff now I'm finally running low on .38 ammo. Keep up the great work, you've inspired me to create some great builds. Nick Knowles the big build, eat your heart out.
I haven't been anywhere south in the map yet or to Diamond city with only a death and three completed quests, I'm level 22 loads of legendary weapons including a wounding sub machine gun, plasma infused 10mm, an instigating laser musket, a penetrating laser rifle, and a freezing and penetrating plasma rifle. I just farm every location in the northern part of the map and I easily have over a three thousand wood and steel and over five hundred of everything else. It may sound boring running back in fourth across the top of the map but on this play through I've still yet to uncover every unmarked location and I'm already rich in late game gear, materials and caps. The point is take your time and have fun you'll be rewarded handsomely. Another reason I've been holding off and staying off certain roads is because I'm going to wait until I have emporiums and max settlers so I can get my hands on all legendary vendors, purely for aesthetic, completion, and bragging rights lol.
You'd be surprised how quickly you can get through 3000 wood lol.
Charlster 2000 I've never had that issue.
+C Vi
You can get two of the most powerful guns in the game - Spray n' Pray and Guardian's Overseer - as early as level 2 without ever having to fight anything. See www.cardsharkgames.info/f4/best_weapons_early.htm
Also, you should be able to get over 4000 wood just by scrapping everything (including all the trees) in Sanctuary and Red Rocket. And you can get a Fat Man and a mini-nuke from Robotics Disposal and another mini-nuke from USAF Satellite Station Olivia.
nrford100 I prefer legendary drops because all though random I've already got guns that vastly outclass what vendors can sale or what you get through quest rewards for the most. There's really only three maybe four guns I'd honestly consider picking up for field use at this point and not just something to collect or pawn off to my settlers.
I get over 500 purified water from purifiers in Sanctuary. That’s with a fully enclosed “water treatment facility” that looks lore and has walk ways in between all the purifiers.
I’ve combined that with the perk that lets you fast travel while being over weight. So I grab the 500 water and fast travel to traders and pick up shipments and ammo.
Also while I’m building I regularly transfer my water from the workbench to a crate next to it. I’ve currently have 4000 of them, that’s more than enough to buy every shipment in the game within about 30 minutes.
With Scrapper (one or two ranks), any respawning raider camp is useful for getting copper--you break down all of their pipe weapons, and if they have mods on them, boom, copper for days. Concord, the Corvega plant, the quarries, the satellite stations. Try Easy City Downs for a good double-dip, but I'm not sure what if anything respawns there.
luckily at east city downs the raiders respawn but the robots dont
One thing you didn't mention that I do is you can carry a hat, glasses, and torso clothing items that increase Charisma. Put them on before buying or selling and you'll make more caps, especially if you're making a big purchase/sale.
On my first few plays I did the water farming. Had something like 800 coming in from a "water plant" I made on Spectacle Island. Now I am just doing settlement building so I use the crafting glitch. Get some mole rat meat and glitch make Mirelurk queen steaks. They sell for around 70-80 caps in Diamond City. Did the Deathclaw steaks but the Mirelurk makes 2 each time.
+tlopesgsd I'm gonna have to try this.
Love your videos, they are a huge inspiration. Keep up the great work. You are, by far, my favorite fallout youtuber and I think you deserve more views .
I'm sure someone has already mentioned this but for easy copper and leather farming, build raider cages at a few settlements. Then never let the raider out, every in game week or so, you'll be attacked by raiders. Pick up all their armor and guns and whatever other useless scrap they have on em. With the perk scrapper 2, just drop all of them and scrap them in workshop mode. Lots of free copper and leather plus increasing your settlement size for future building. You'll also get some steel out of this process as well which as you stated no one should ever run out of with how many vendors sell it.
For selling, I usually do PsychoJet, I'll take the vendors entire shipment stock and then coffee cups, blast radius game and everything else with nuclear material, and then anything with fiber optics. I tend to run around all the major settlement vendors, Diamond City, Goodneighbor and Bunker Hill and finish up with Drumlin before depositing everything into a workbench.
Plus psychojet makes some of the encounters while playing on survival tolerable. So I make sure I always have a handful of them on my person at all times...just in case.
I was so disappointed with the settlement building functions in this game, but now I love my settlements!! Thank you so much for these videos Davey.
And how do you expand the limit of the settlements? With the 'store all weapons in the workshop' method?
Or did they patched it?
no i still use that method and it's definitely no been patched
+norespawns Will it slow down or crash your game ? because they have a limit for a reason. kinda worry about this.
+Melissa Anderson only slows it a little bit. Also messes with the NPCs path finding very little. If you go 2-3 times over the limit, you're okay, but any more. Stop
You can ever drop weapons you don't use an store them in the work pench
OUt of the way everyone, we got ourselves a badass over here.
Do you use an Elgato hd60 to record? When i use the software that they tell you to download to record the live commentary is never in sync with the video please help me if you do live commentary or do u voice over? Thanks
+The Pinoy One voiceover
Hey mate the only thing I would add to this is make sure you invest 500 caps in all the usual traders you sell to. It means you can sell them more jet at one time and works out great in the long run.
How do I do that?
+no_good_namez It's R1 on PS4 so I'm guessing RB on Xbox (don't know what format you're playing on mate) When you interact with any trader the tab along the bottom of the screen is what you want to be looking at. The option to "Invest" should be on the far right hand side. Most people only invest in settlers they assign to run shops but it works with any trader you meet.
Level 70 and never could figure it out
+no_good_namez you need to have rank 3 of cap collecter
why do you say mate so much? stop
Hey Ive never seen your videos before, and Im very uneducated on workshop building, but do you use the more building room settlement glitch? I would use it on Xbox One but I have a lvl 90 char and Im scared at the thought of doing the glitch and it corrupting my save.
I wont corrupt your save. If a save does corrupt, then you can revert to the last autosave or quicksave you made
It's not 100% reliable but a kinda fun way to get extra caps. If you capture a deathclaw obviously your settlement gets attacked by deathclaws fairly regularly. (even though I had an Alpha captured in Starlight I only got attacked by standard deathclaws) They become easy pickings level 50+ and I was getting attacked by 3 everytime I travelled back.
anyway, with all the caps perks 1 deathclaw meat is 71 caps and each deathclaw drops 2-3.
Obviously the weight gives it the same problems as water but it's about 10 times as valuable and you can't reuse deathclaw meat for any of the cages.
+Paddy Meharg Thanks for the tip. Do you have to let the deathclaw out of the cage to be attacked by deathclaws frequently?
+Sub Royalty naynayplaysgame is right, at least that's what happens for me. They stop attacking if you let it out. :)
At level 82, I still use the purified water farming method. I have the Level 6 Strength perks maxed out so I can move and fast travel while overloaded.
I have big ugly farms in Sanctuary and Nordhagen Beach, and bounce between the two. Spectacle Island looks like it could be a good farming spot, too, but that is a lot of moving around. I usually have about 700+ waters, and those go for 12k-ish, I believe.
Once I have loaded up on water, I'll go to Abernathy, Greygarden and Diamond City to buy out all the wood shipments. Prior to the DLC patch, I was struggling with keeping materials, specifically wood, and was using my waters to buy out a weapons vendor of their heavier weapons that had wood, such as shotguns and hunting rifles. Now that there is a lot of concrete available, these trips have become less and less necessary. I get steel from scrapping guns that I pick up from adventuring.
I also have the perk where you can invest in shops to give them more buying caps. So I can trade the water in for the supplies I need, and for the caps that the vendor has on them.
(gasp) You're a drug dealer? Oh, the humanity!
Could you please give some tips on how to make believable toilet/bathroom arrangements? i reckon its a vital part of settlements i havent seen many people cover.
+gregery jones
Since there's no running water or sewer lines, the only believable toilet/bathroom is a metal pot. Now if only you could assign a settler to empty it out for you.
+Jeremy Gordon
Yeah, but my point was that building a toilet in the real world doesn't hook it up to non-existing water and sewer lines, thus using a pot is more realistic.
I have also found that it pays to have extra water purifiers at your settlements that have good fertilizer production. The reason behind that is twofold first water cell secondly because of the weight involved having the water or the fertilizer is produced means you can trade your water for the fertilizer and then use the plastic you carry with you. Institute weapons are excellent for scrapping for this so you can literally Farm synths for plastic use the fertilizer and plastic for jet manufacturing and then sell the jet 2 the vendor at that settlement.
Having a few scavenging stations at every settlement is a great thing to do as well I highly suggest it
I set up a shitton of Water Purifiers in my river at Sanctuary and use that to trade. Right now I have it set up to make 960 water, so I get a lot in my workbench everyday. It's pretty amazing, especially with the lvl 30 fast travel while encumbered perk.
Dave: Excellent, thanks. I try never to pay for items needed. I use whatever guns and stuff picked up from Raiders and Muties, then if more caps are needed use ammo that I am not using, I also use water. As well I use Stimpacks since we literally find hundreds of them I could never possibly use all the stimpacks I find. I try to make the vendors caps down to zero each time I trade. I wear charisma suit for trading. I take Grape Mentats for trading large purchases. Charisma +5. Hubflowers also make Grape Mentats. Great helps. Thanks :)
How did you get trader Rylee in your settlement? She keeps dissapear after a while for me. Cheked yesterday. I beleive you did not assign her to emporium?
level 28 character, 3 settlements with 999 water production. drop water, have follower pick it up to get around carry limit. for sheer ease of use this can't be beat. I had 999 water in one settlement by level six. by the time shit breaks or you start getting raided badly you have the caps and resources to fix them, plus the water increases relatively quickly.
if starting a fresh playthrough then head to DC, get Marowski's chem deal started, rob and murder the couriers, head to vault 81, pay or blag your way in with high charisma, head to the generator and find bobby de luca, avoiding his sister. he'll pay you 75 for any jet you have in multiple single transactions(most merchants pay about 36-40 max i've seen).
so if you make your own aswell you can get a fortune. just keep clicking to talk, he has unlimited resources as long as you dont let him leave. if he walks away i think he has new dialogue, but if you just keep talking to him in the generator room he wont stop buying till you leave him alone. i got about 7000 caps off him before i ran out of jet. never knew junkies where that financially succesful, probably the richest npc i've encountered.
I usually sell all the pre-war money I find, and any ammo I know I'll never use. Gets you a fair amount of dosh.
You can get heaps of screws and gears from the Giddyup Buttercup parts from the Wilsons factory near Quincy.
Do you know if the doorway glitch still works? The one you use in sanctuary to put doorways in. I play PC and I can't really get it to work anymore. The doorway has to stick out more for it to work now. Before I never had a problem with it. Do you usually put the door in first or do you fix the roof first
If you use mods, try "Place in red" it's a god send lol.
I was having this problem as well, just make sure to put the door on first.
I have 6 industrial water purifiers at Taffington Boathouse, 2 at Sanctuary, and 3 at the Castle - I get around 450 purified water every couple of days or so.
I also hang on to the *Sharp legendary armor pieces and wear them over the green shirt and combat boots along with black rim glasses and a formal hat. It's a increase of 8 Charisma if you have all five armor pieces.
*Increase of 1 Charisma and Intelligence - These pieces are also good to wear while building, to maximize the amount of XP you get.
Another top notch vid mate, very helpful and informative, keep up the good work.
I don't know how often you respond to comments but I had a question regarding something you had in your Red Rocket settlement. You pass by an area in one video that has a statue and lawn flamingos next to it... How did you get the lawn flamingos? I've wanted to place them for a very long time but didn't think you could... Thanks!
I know it has been 5 years, but I think the flamingos can be made after getting a copy of the Picket Fences magazine that gives you that perk.
3:00 Did Chemist perk is needed to produce Jet out of fertilizer? (and it is also a moneymaker, though I never try this Drug Lord approach yet, but instead flooding p. water to the market and it also does fine.)
With all that in-game waiting, what year is it? Mines 2291, ha
GenericInterwebs what if there was a secret ending for waiting over 100 more year? Would father die by then?
I feel like a duff not waiting 48 hours for shipments to restock over and over. I'm all about tedious stuff. I can never get enough of wood and now I'll be rolling in in. Thanks!
I collect money the simple way: Hoard ammo, and then use it to tap-out the caps of all vendors. I also have some water purifiers running in my settlements, and periodically sell the purified water from those if I'm running short.
How do u get the brahim to produce more fertilizer ? More brahim per settlement or what? I barely get 2 fertilizer like after I do side quests
I think my game has a bug but... Whenever I try to move settlers to my Sanctuary Hills, it won't allow me to. But I can move them to any other settlement. Do you have any advice for this? I really want sanctuary to be my main settlement
You might have the maximum number of settlers. If you increase your charisma you can get more settlers. This includes temporary increases like chems or clothing, just send settlers there while the charisma boosts are active then they will stay. There are vids about getting the largest number of settlers. Hope that helps.
How do you deal with the frame drops? I notice it in a lot of your videos.
I use a glitch to get reactor coolant. It unfortunately only works if you have sided with the Brotherhood in the end. I don't remember the guy's name, but the glitch was very simple, and he used radroach meat to make Deathclaw steaks. I did the same thing with cutting fliud and Reactor coolant, and I give those to Proctor Ingram for infinite moneys :D
Though it gets a bit tedious; you can grab any tires you see around your settlements. I don't think they respawn, but I'd they do, you can get a nice, steady surplus of rubber as it generates 4 per tire
I don't see steel shipment in my game. Do the vendors start offering different shipments at a higher level? I'm also a muppet that runs out of steel, and I'm Canadian. It could be a Canadian thing.
You buy them from Myrna/Percy (the robot) in Diamond City. In the junk tab :)
Found it. Thanks for all the great videos!
If you want steal clear your inventory go out and pick up everything because most junk has steal
The armor trader that wanders around also sells steel, 50 units at a time.Forgot his name.
+Rich Mond lucas miller
this was very helpful.
i had soooo much fertilizer and plastic saved up. literally just made 2,000 jet. completely changed crafting for me.
I've got 6 brahmin in Sanctuary, yay traps!
Don't you just wish that you could assign Marcy Long to cleaning up and gathering all that cow shit? :)
I love your videos there's always different tips and tricks that I enjoy finding from either building or something like this. What I would suggest for PC users is the Northland diggers mod as it gives you crafting stations that do specific tasks for materials. I do not know if it's available for Xbox I know for certain that it is not available for PS4.
Oh your a god send thank you for the tips. I'm always forgetting to watch my supplies
Davey - thanks for all the awesome vids, really appreciate them.
I've got a question - with the new survival mode, how would you go about doing caps in early-, mid- and late-game? Any reply would be appreciated, but of course a video would be awesome :) keep up the good stuff!
+Mathe Poulsen honestly not sure - I've not splayed survival much, other than on twitch. Never made many caps.
Got it - I also find it quite appealing rp wise to have to struggle and scavenge proper in survival mode, but it does complicate things when you also want to make nice settlements. Thanks for the answer though
For aluminum, Arturo in Diamond City for a shipment of 50 pcs, Refus in Goodneighbor for 25 pcs, Vault 95 has loads of surgical trays, and I never miss an aluminum can.
Imagine youre in diamond city and the guy from the vault sits on a bench and just goes brain dead for a solid 48 hours then buys all stock in sight and returns to being braindead
This is simple information but it's actually fairly helpful - thanks!

+Derp Squad1782 Oh right, thanks :p.
dunwich borers for oil
Glass is plentiful in the Beantown Brewery where you take Travis for "Confidence Man"
ya know after watching ya video, ya can call me a bit nutty, but yesterday I spent for the most part, well over 10 hours just collecting wood, steel, concrete and fertilizer shipments and bags as well when I could and oh yeah and plastic. And I will most likely do the same today, I'm so depleted of all building material. PS: ya are playing on PC right? if not and are on XB1 how are ya recording your videos from XB1?
hes on ps4
thanks for the info, is this "Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro" the way the game is being recorded, or something like it?
+SgtDreTecKeGamer i really dont know he could have just used the ps4s built in recording system or he coulda used some sort of capture device like a elgato. but not really sure
okay thanks
The Irish Pride Industries Shipyard (just W of County Crossing) (four leaf clover) respawns about a dozen bags of concrete, and life savers every other day
Do shipments actually work now? After the Shipment Duplication glitch went away, I ran into an issue of the shipments not giving any materials.
+Larry Skinner they do - they just don't deposit materials for until you use them. Still counts towards your supply
Scrounger perk. I send my eyebots to search for expensive ammo. 2mm EC, missiles, mini nukes, and such. After grabbing all the junk there, I usually go to diamond city, buying the 4 steel shipments and concrete as well as a shipment of wood from Diamond City market. If I can sell the ammo and still make money after buying all those shipments, which happens a lot, I'm good.
Corvega is a great place for aluminum. Pick up those coolant caps on the assembly line. And they respawn.
Your Jet empire thing is what I've been doing for a while. But it's funny, because you're only 20 levels below me and I've got something like 380k caps... I need to stop making drugs.
+Vynx Epicarica You should stop making drugs, because another settlement need your help. ;-)
+Sorcikator Senpai that's my line
Preston Garvey What are you doing here?! I banished you to the Castle!
+Preston Garvey i thought i sent you to sanctuary...
+Preston Garvey Banished your to ass to covenant and trapped you there
Yes, that was quite useful. And since I'm roleplaying a raider chief-like Sole Survivor, making money on drug market is really great for the sake of RP. Thanks again for your help. ^^
I used to not car about settlement building because of how unintuitive it was but after I learned the rug glitch I've been able to make some really cool stuff
care*
Martin Mooney yeah they never patched it
My new thing is I make giddyup buttercups in the conveyor-machine production contraption and they are pretty good for caps
srs question, besides being fun to make, does creating settlements help you during the game?
+seanie russell nope, not really
+seanie russell In survival mode, it gives you loads of safe places where you can sleep. And since you can't fast travel, you can sell the jet you make to own settlement vendors for caps without having to do long distance trips to Diamond City and Goodneighbor.
+seanie russell One other thing, and this is just in the normal mode (and survival too), by time you have level 60 and six vendors in each of your settlements with a happiness in the 80s, and 21 settlers, you can make 50 caps per 12 (24?) hrs per settlement without doing anything. It may not sound like much, but if you do a round once an "in game" week of settlements, you will pick up 1200 caps or so per settlement. I have over 190K of caps right now, and I buy loads of shipments of material and loads of 2mm ammo and fusion cores.
You can make a lot of caps off of settlements
all my settlements have 2 - 3 people farming and the rest slaving away at scavenging stations. I never run low on resources
does anyone else think this guys ascent is soooo freaking awesome
Your videos on fallout settlements are the reason why we need console to PC save transfer (talking to you Bethesda)
Basically I just kill raiders, loot everything, sell to traders to earn caps. 300 caps in 5 minutes. So I can buy shipments of materials.
I have big trading set ups at the drive in, castle, and slog. That's good
I always sell ammo I don't need, I also sell chems and foods since all it's is stimpacks
Yeah I have 300 stimpacks
(May be a bit late)
Since one of the latest updates, your settlement general goods traders sell shipments of wood and steel. Quite useful, but only a few hundred. I still run out of steel and wood repeatedly, but considering my current build, I go through maybe 1000 of each per hour. This is enough time to fill up luckily.
The ad before this was to get a structured settlement and "we got cash" no jokes.
if you want fiber optics steel and crystal farming location the laser hallway for jamaica plains treasure room you can reset and defuse the lasers over and over and if you have a robot you can move alot at once okay to turn the lasers on you have to be on end of hallway where door is there is a button there hit it and lasers turn back on and you work your way along until all defused return turn back on and repeat hope that helps everyone for steel fiber optics and crystal some things everyone can't have enough of
Finally, thanks so much. Been wondering how people get so many resources
I have a good way of getting caps at beginning of game. It’s slowish but in the end u have lots of caps.
May contain spoilers(and yes I know I’m late) also if your a chem addict this is not for you
Step 1: do diamond city blues
Step 2: screw over whoever you’re working with( for extra caps wait until u get back to diamond city and if you have high charisma u can get a job to kill the person you were working with)
Step 3: loot all then chems from the job or from your now deceased partner
Step 4: sell chems to every vendor you can find and profit
I have the Xbox one. Kill a stingwing. Go to a cooking station, go to stingwing fillet. press right on the d- pad immediately press down. If done correctly, Tasty Deathclaw Omelette will be highlighted, but you will be asked if you want to cook it. Choose yes, and you will actually receive 5 Tasty Deathclaw omelettes. Rinse, wash, repeat.Lol Take a grape mentat, and rack up on building supplies
the triggerman attacks you get after diamond city blues got Percy killed in one of my saves
Another thing to note... If you run the repeatable quests from the BOS in the Cambridge police station, loose items and locked chests/safes are refreshed at the quest location.. but not the open unlocked chests..
sell stimpaks, chems, radaway, rad x, unused ammo types. and pick up all the junk you can while on quests or just exploring. grilled radstag gives +25 weight for 1 real-time hour, but you could also just wear power armor.
doing this, you never have to buy shipments.
if you get the scrap everything mod for console and PC, scrapping leaves gives you 5 fertilizer and settlements are covered in leaves
shipment duplication glitch FTW. 500k+ wood, 500k+ steel, 100k+ all other build materials all for a total of about 10k caps and 15 minutes work.
maxing out the strong back perk helps to no end as well as that allows fast travel when overencumbered
Water farms in the castle, sanctuary, and spectacle island. Each make over 600 water, then I do jet. I have over 30,000 water, and close to 10,000 jet. I also set up traders next to workshops, so I don’t have to walk far.
Edit I have over 300k caps because I just trade, I don’t buy anything.
oh, and Honest Dan gives me most of my caps lol
