Fallout 4: Sim Settlements 2 - Part 2 - My Kind Of Town 

Jon: I want more ASAMs! 10 feet to Jon's right: Shelves with dozens of unclaimed ASAMs he hasn't taken yet. Ah, never change with the old Perception 1, Jon...

If it's Jon's kind of town I assume that means it's built in an ancient Roman or Greek style and populated entirely by egg cartons.

I deeply enjoyed that "fatigue" showed up on Jon's screen immediately upon discovering the first bickering neighbors. How relatable.

The raiders in the junkyard are the guys you just negotiated with in the hostage situation, if you killed them they wouldnt be there

One of the beautiful things about this mod is, you get to see what Fallout looks like when it's done by people who love Fallout. For example, had you taken the Awareness perk, you would have an extra option to non-violently defuse the hostage situation.

This mod turns Fallout 4 in a much more engaging RPG. At least in the early parts of town. You have reasons to go places.

Sim Settlements is an astoundingly good mod. You’re making me want to play again.

Jon, I don't know when you will record next week's episode, but I want to save you a lot of trouble. There are several boxes of 20 asams in Jake's workshop, which are not marked as owned, that you can take. West Everett is meant for when THOSE run out, and the asams you get out there respawn on a regular basis, though I'm not sure how long that takes.

I'm just imagining Mayor Bob being the mayor the contestants needed to impress on that episode of Taskmaster and Joe Wilkinson just comes in with a huge bag of calippos and some cans of strong ale and Mayor Bob immediately makes him deputy mayor

new favourite subtitled opening; "good afternoon lace jumping on John this is very a true dirt"

Jon, you should really move towards getting the Scrapper perk. Its practically essential for early game SS2.

My headcanon is that "tear down expert" would allow you to say cruel things to Sturges about his mechanical engineering; maybe needle him about why he can't hack basic terminals...

I always find that interesting about John. He's got some sort of random perk that gives him perception 10 after certain conditions are met, but his perception stat is 1.

The voice acting, storyline, and writing in this mod are fantastic. I hope these guys get hired in at Bethesda

There are several boxes of ASAMs that you can pick up in Jake's workshop. These also come back every time the Concord cell resets. Also, it you are in a pinch with needing ASAMs, pretty much any general vender in the game stocks 2-4 of them at all times.

So glad to see more of this! Between this and starfield, I'm going to be a happy boy for quite a while!

Jon; respectfully, when you shoot your 10mm please aim 😂

"Where do you think you're going *Mr.* Radstag *Doe*?!" Lol

John wildly shooting and not ADS outside of VATS really drives me crazy lol.

Jon! Said it last video but you must have missed if you go back to the guys workshop in Concorde and pick up any boxes with Robco on them, each one will have 20 asam sensors in it you can get about 140 from there alone :)

The voice acting and story is really something special

I love how with Jon giving him different headwear, Jake now has a *captain's hat* that got dented stopping a bullet. That must be one heck of a solid weave.

Jon those raiders at the junk yard looked like they were the raiders who took your people hostage and you bribed, think they just got stuck on their pathfinding away.

Ah! Jon True Nerd, the Kevin McCloud of videogame real estate! And now I would love a mini-series sending-up the pretentious property shows, where Jon takes us on a guided tour of the finest residences for the Protagonist who just needs to have it all!

This mod needs the option to build one-way roads. Jon would abuse the hell out of it.

You know, my favourite part of many MATN videos is finding out what RU-vid's captions have butchered "Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, I'm John and this is Many A True Nerd" into this time...

finally! a series in which i can play ahead of Jon!

Fallout 4 series from Jon. Almost nothing brings me this much joy.

I think Jon would benefit from that one mod which allows everything in sanctuary to be deleted so he can build on a proper clean slate

Looks like the mayor's back in town. 😄

The Sim Settlement 2 story is so well written and assembled by an amazing team. There is going to be a few moments where you'll ask yourself 'how the hell did they do that in Fallout 4'. There's a few add-on packs for SS2 that add more building designs if you want to sneak some new ones into your playthrough. In base FO4 you have these somewhat ungrateful settlers demanding things but SS2 they do things for themselves and even pay taxes to the Mayor :)

Oblivion, Xcom II, TOTW, Starfield and this! Thank you!

Raiders can attack over the stream in the back of the Sanctuary, be careful.

Sturgess was actually brewing up a bath full of crystal meth.

Woop Woop, Sunday fallout night with Jon

A heads up Jon, there's several boxes of ASAM sensors in Jake's shop you can nick without going to the estates and build up other settlements (like the drive-in).

As someone who only really played Sim Settlements 1 (and even then not really cause I used the leader system) wow this one is amazing. Makes me wanna swap it out and start a new playthrough

"This is lovely" ~half broken open walls and shattered windows~ Well...

A fallout video uploaded on my 40th birthday, best day ever! (Aside from being on the beaches of Florida, of course😁) Thank you, Jon, for all you do!

Mama Murphy guarding the town is my favorite part.

Im holding off on watching the starfield vids while i play though for the first time, and these have been absolutely fantastic to watch in the meantime as Jon uncovers this story and new mechanics, hes really in for a ride this mod is great.

16:25 That is probably the most British Jon has ever sounded.

I do enjoy how Jake is like "ASAMs make settlement building so much easier" in the first episode, and then in this one he has to admit people still consider them too complicated in the second. Though he has a DEFINITE point about the wasteland probably being a bit too "wastelandy" after 200 years -- I've felt for a while you could lop 100 years off the entire Fallout timeline, and everything would probably make a bit more sense in terms of the aesthetics. *shrug* Ah well, at least Jake and Mayor Bob are ready to help rebuild the Commonwealth! ...Preston Garvey is probably super thankful that you're NOT really bothering with Minuteman stuff in this playthrough, given what dialogue options you've been choosing with Bob. XD

"Mister radstag doe..." Perfect.

Pretty sure that bird icon is a crow; they collect shiny things. Vultures eat dead things, which isn't really what you'd use as an icon for collecting junk.

love this series already and can’t wait for more. it’s always nice watching you play Fo4, especially with your commentary.

So glad he plays this! Ive been playing the Sim Settlements Mods since release, all parts. Theres tons of great and voice acted Fallout 3-4 Mods Jon would enjoy imho Prost & Cheers from the Bavarian Alps

thanks for existing matn ❤🎉 this is awesome starfield MORE fallout hell yeah

"Maybe keep an eye on this person with the skull in their house" Jon their name, as you failed to notice when you glanced past their bed, is MORDOR MCDEATH

jake evans and his cute scarf

I’m a ‘build everything myself’ kind of player, but I’m getting into this series

"Hold still while I keep on hammering A for a minute."

Huh. Now that I've seen the end of this story, these early scenes hit differently.

There should be loads of free Asam sensors in Jakes workshop.

I know it's probably partly over exposure, but I am finding this plotline so much more engaging that Greston Parvey and his endless cavalcade of settlements that have called for aid. No ridiculous "we've just met, but you're General material", and something that feels like a grand plan (one might say, a Grand Design, ahem-hem) worth seeking out all the scrap, and risking life and limb for. I mean what do you get sent to Olivia for in base game? A necklace, sure with sentimental value, but what kind of person asks a stranger, who is clearly willing to aid others who really need it, to fight to the bottom of a raider base for that? It just feels so utterly unbelievable. Eh, like I say, may just be over-exposure compared to a fresh perspective, either way, a hugely impressive piece of modding!

"Where do you think you're going, Mister Radstag Doe?" Um.... ....no, no nevermind, that's on brand. Nevermind. Carry on. Admittedly, this is an interesting mod... great to see how far the mod has come since the original Sim Settlements! And it's enough content now to make an actual series out of!

Bethesda is SO LUCKY they have a modding community that literally works harder than they do.

I like this. I’m going to download this once I have a tv.

Even in a playthrough all about building settlements, Jon can't be asked to care about the minutemen. Fascinating. I quite like the minutemen. They want self governing communities who band together for defence. Far and away the best choice in the game.

I believe what's up with defense is that officially "good" defense=food + water. Your current defense is fine, but sim settlements wants you to have ~30 defense based on your food and water.

“Lets get some revenge on those flipping raiders!” Oh my god jon have you learned nothing from the last of us 2-

I love that Firefly reference at 31:25 !

I love your videos man, keep em coming

Sim Settlements 2 AND Starfield? That's nice.

Even though it doesn't matter, as no matter what ye do, raiders will always get the settlers for that one story mission. (Part of the problem is with settlement defence, enemies don't just come from the bridge with Sanctuary, think if I remember right on the spawn points for enemies during settlement attacks one is, well actually next to the bridge on the Sanctuary side, from the direction of Vault 111 and then right behind one of the destroyed houses up the hill, the one that is directly right from a house that is still together.) So focusing all defence, in one area is not a great idea sadly. And this can very much apply for every settlement. Might see one very obvious entry point and ye may be right to some extent, but it's not the only point.

as someone who actually enjoys manual building, the ASAMs make me feel like a luddite.

Enjoying the hell out of this mod play through Jon! Been watching since I was in middle school when you did your kill everything run of Fallout New Vegas. Keep up the great work!!!

A hint for building material. Mama murphy is 18 strength

18:36 The turrets in question had no power powering them when the player left. The electricity was not sufficient for everything.

My new fav serie

Sturges is making bathtub gin, because he doesn’t have entertainment.

41:40 I *always* put the turrets on top of the pillars (and car park roofs), it looks better and gives them a better position. So now it just looks wrong to see them placed elsewhere.

Jon if I'm remembering right the defense is same as vanilla, def should equal water+food+power Btw as others have said a ton of free asams in Jakes shop in concord might want to give it a good look over

They even made vault boy animations for quests. It's awesome.

I'm diggin' this series, man. 😁

I believe defense needs to be equal or greater than water + food to be considered good enough. Not sure if that's changed by the mod, though.

"One random dog" (shoots radstag doe)

"Mr. Radstag Doe" hmm

Loving this series

Well Jon's just persuaded me to install FO4 again.

11:33 it’s called a lofted bed to free up floor space, you see them all the time in dormitories usually with a desk underneath.

The legendary radroach only spawns after a certain level

you would make an excellent QA tester John with how many times you've broken this mod haha

fantastic and exciting series!

Umm, Jon, the phrase "Mr. Radstag Doe" ☝😐.... oh, never mind, it must be a sign of the times.

“Blood and bullets… always happy to kill.” I think I know why Mayor Bob lost the election.

Sim Settlement! Let's go!

Love the serie and the mod. Little tip: There are boxes with asams in jakes workshop.

After reading Jake's terminal I'm now curious if anything happens if you rock up to him while wearing the silver shroud costume.

This is a fantastic audio drama

Mr radstag doe... yes that makes total sense Jon.

27:54 Mr Radstag Doe.... Mr... Doe... Jon, you know what a doe is, right???

Clearly Jon doesn't know where the enemy spawn points are around Sanctuary Hills.

Oh hey thanks! I was just scrolling for something to watch!

Hey Jon yu should add Spring Cleaning to the series! It allows you to get rid of stuff like the bushes and weeds and piles of garbage everywhere. It makes the settlements look a little nicer.

Hate to break it to you, you could've killed the raiders without losing anyone. The "I fucked realization" the raiders do right before I wipe them out is perfect

13:48 Jon the Disease Cures are for your settlers. Don't waste them.

I realize that this would be questionably canon-appropriate; but I'd like to see a Mr. "Fox" show up with an offer for the local super-mayor esquire; that you could accept definitely without alarming consequences.

I enjoy watching play fallout 4 far more than I enjoy playing fallout 4

This is genuinely more engaging than Starfield
