Fast travel isn't teleporting. Time still passes for your character and it could even be dark when you arrive. It just ignores the boring walking everywhere. You can only fast travel to places you've discovered.
It's pretty much like how in movies you might see a character leave one scene, then arrive at the next - skipping the in between because it's not relevant to the story.
Just a few pointers: Collecting guns its not a bad idea,, they have a value for something;) You could ignore the settlement stuff altogether if you wanted to, even the modding weapons and armor(but i recommended you do the last two). Also settlement building gets confunsing. For example the flame thrower kept breaking because it was a trap so its kinda one time use. Also having their need met raises the happiness and some other stuff. VATS it’s not a guaranteed hit, you see theres a number, thats the chance of hitting. Also VATS uses Action Points(AP) esch weapon requieres different amounts of AP to shoot in VATS. If you dont got the AP then you can’t shoot it in vats. When storing things there’s different tabs for sorting. Use the compass at the center bottom of the screen, it shows where active enemies are. Settelers need only one ammo of the gun you give them. You have 3 level ups when you hit Y it shows the perk chart. You can select a perk or better one of your special stats.( you can go down on the perk chart. It can be confusing for people playing for the first time)
From the fallout 4 wiki Settlers can be equipped with a gun by the player character and they will not consume any ammo, but in order to use that weapon, they need to have at least 1 (one) ammo in their inventory of the type that the equipped weapon uses. That single ammo will never be consumed and act as infinite ammo.
Store those power armor pieces that are in your inventory in the Sanctuary workbench, or build a container near there. Along with any other unused stuff you have taking up space in your inventory. Also, while in build mode, you can pick up and move any of the crafting stations (cooking, chemistry, armor, weapons work stations) within your settlement and relocate them to a convenient location (like maybe near your workbench). 😊
Bunch of tips for you. Traditionally the dog follower in each Fallout game is named Dogmeat, an homage to Mad Max. Only mama Murphy calls him that in this game. When you are transferring items between yourself and a storage container or follower, you can use the left and right triggers (or buttons I forget) to filter by weapons, apparel, etc. As someone already mentioned, the numbers on different body parts in VATS are chances to hit. You'll notice that smaller parts, like heads), and parts behind cover are harder to hit. VATS uses AP (action points) which are in the bottom right of the screen, which are also used for sprinting. You can increase AP with agility, and Nuka Cola is like a Stamina potion in Skyrim. You can switch targets in VATS to que up multiple attacks against several targets. Larger weapons use up more AP per attack in VATS. The Luck Perk tree makes the VATS system better, and Perception increases the chance to hit, Agility gives you more AP. I highly recommend the Action Girl Perk to regenerate AP quicker.. When building in a settlement, you can rotate the object you are holding with the triggers (i think). In the level up screen, you can spend perk points just like in Skyrim. There are a bunch or perks below their respective SPECIAL attribute, just press down. Your luck determines how fast your critical hit meter fills up in VATS. it is the bar in the middle bottom of the screen. When it is full you can trigger a crit by pressing X in the small window of time between confirming your shots and actually firing in the slow-mo animation. Crits always hit and deal extra damage. When you mod items the previous mods get dumped into your inventory, make sure to sell or stash them in your workshop. Standard machine gun turrets are really good for raising a settlement's defense, build a few for each. You don't need to assign every single crop, settlers will automatically farm nearby ones, up to 12 each. Be sure to stash all your junk items in workshops as it takes up a lot of space, you can do this with a single button press in the transfer menu of a workshop bench (Y i think). Jumk is automatically used as building materials from either your workshop inventory or your personal inventory when you build or mod items.
A settler doing farming work will farm up to 6 daily rations. Mutfruit produces 1 ration per day per plant. All others produce 1/2 ration per day per plant.
This game can be overwhelming at first. Best advise is to read everything on the screen. You don't have to use vats unless you want to. It helps when fighting a group. VATS is only good for a few shots, then you may need to finish them off by shooting from the hip (point and shoot.) You can use the Joysticks to change enemy targets and body parts on each target. Also, only build up settlements if you want to. Your settlers can't die (except when playing on survival mode.)
It's me again... in the inventory menu, you keep changing the category at the top of the list.. that's why you don't see all the items you gave them. Also if you give them clothing, you put the clothes in their inventory and then select it in their list.. you can make them wear it. Flame thrower requires a switch, otherwise it's on all the time.
1:15:26 - Krista, I'm pretty sure the paintings don't increase the Happiness of Settlements just like that! Mainly because it jumped up by 7 somehow about 3 minutes earlier, when you were looking through the traps & turrets in the Defense section of the Workshop. How the game calculates Happiness is pretty obscure for the most part, imo. Talking about Defense reminds me that the best two places to locate guard posts & turrets is at choke points and entrances. Which in Sanctuary is obviously the bridge over the river. Make sure they facing the right way, outward towards the Red Rocket. In case enemies attack from elsewhere, the next best place is the narrow points on the river where it runs past Sanctuary to the South. I wouldn't bother placing defences elsewhere as I've never seen enemies spawn to the North or the West. East is practically impossible because of the lake. Also, next time you go over the bridge, stop next to the body on the road which had the tire iron sticking out of it. To the left is a statue of an old style Minuteman. At the foot of the statue is a duffel bag with some loot. Good video, btw, as usual I'm looking forward to the next one!🙂
Sanctuary has 3 spawn points for attackers. North - A few feet south of the footbridge a half dozen feet to the west. South - North bank of river West of the southwest corner of the empty destroyed house foundation west of the road. East - A half dozen feet east of the hedge on the north side of the Eastern Destroyed House Foundation. If you are late to the fight, they may already be in the middle of everything before anyone notices. The one west of the South bridge is actually up in the air about 10 feet and you can see them appear up there and fall down to the ground.
If you set them up properly, the settlements will largely take care of themselves. You can completely ignore them if you want, but there are some massive benefits to having a widespread network of small bases all throughout the map. The basic turret doesn't take any power, or special requirements. Whenever you are in an area with a kitchen, or offices with coffee pots, be on the lookout for hot plates. Those have a bunch of circuitry. I generally will set up the basic food/water requirements, throw up about 3-4 of those turrets, and then the base is pretty self sufficient from there. But you can eventually link all your settlements together if you want, build your own trading booths for merchants, etc...
Your AP is like your stamina in Skyrim AP=action points higher the action points the more shots you can do in VATS. go for the Action Girl Perk when you figure out how to level up
btw, your recording computer is stuttering sometimes, your camera and game slow down. Good job on VATS. The number are chances of hitting. So if the head says 10, then you have 10% change of hitting. If you get a gun that has better range then your VATS percentage will go up. Also there are skills that can make VATS (and your guns better).

If you want to learn all the tips and tricks for building watch the videos on youtube put out by Schooled Zone. I think that guy only plays the game so he will have some place to do a lot of building.
When you get flustered, slow yourself down and READ. Look for instructions on the menu screens - these often tell you what buttons to press, or which category of items you are looking at, things like that. Also, READ ITEM DESCRIPTIONS! Slow down, read very deliberately and you will realize the game is giving you lots of information. Like for a gun, the inventory tells you how many bullets/shells you have for the gun and it gives a bit more information like how much damage the gun does.
It can be a bit overwhelming, all that information, when it's your first time playing a Fallout game... Especially if you're also on camera, trying to be entertaining.
@@LadyDoomsingerGood point. Whenever I watch someone else play it does occur to me that anyone watching me play would find my play style tedious and unwatchable!
I'm so glad that I found your channel, I love Fallout 4. Give yourself a little while to get used to playing this and you'll be building all kinds of creative things in your settlements.
VATS uses AP (action points). Number of AP comes from Agility in SPECIAL. The higher your Agility, the more AP you have. As others have mentioned, Action Girl is an excellent perk to take. I also recommend Gunslinger for increased pistol damage, Rifleman for increased rifle damage, Black Widow for increased damage against men (as well as easier or special speech checks). Toughness for increased damage resistance. Locksmith and Hacker perks also. Some foods give great buffs, add max AP, bonus XP, remove rads, rad resistance, etc. Check them out and use them. Don’t carry stuff you aren’t using (unless it has zero weight 😁). Don’t use prewar foods (sell them), except the Nuka Cherry, Nuka Quantum’s, etc , those are good buffs to use. Read through the many perks to get an idea of where you want to put points, there are so many good ones. The Luck tree has some great perks for increasing frequency of critical hits.
If I may suggest something that's not explained super well by the game: go into your Pip-Boy, press Y, then use your arrows or left stick to look down through the perks. There are more than it initially seems and you're not limited to the ones at the top, though it can seem like that at first. Also the dog is called Dog until another character refers to him by name, then that's displayed instead. You missed one of those conversations (not a big deal, it's kind of an annoying conversation anyway), but there's another one coming that you won't be able to miss, so it's good. Last thing: Codsworth is a lot of fun as a companion. Makes me giggle, lol.
VATS is basically RPG mode, it takes in account your attributes (S.P.E.C.I.A.L. points) to calculate if your shots hit or miss, you can obviously take advantage of this if you intend to make a build dependant on VATS to increase the attributes that benefit VATS specifically.
You have to move the power armor closer to the station for it to work and get out of the armor and then use the station. You still have the pieces that are broken in your inventory they are heavy, at least find something to put them away in.
Glad you're playing fallout. A few things: read things (especially the menu), remember to level up, see if you can find a way to fix the frame rate issues. Great videos!
7:18 no you aim the head with 29% hit-Chance ,then your bullet miss...use more AP on VATS, i mean select often or other parts! ...OH you find it out, good!
Play the holotapes when you find them so they make sense

Managing the settlements is fun, but confusing at first. Like most of the crafting and modding parts in the game. I would recommend building some storage to store your unused weapons, clothes and armor. And you can put all the junk with one click into the workshop. You also can sort and filter your inventory. Your Pipboy has even a build in flashlight. And yes, you have to move the power armor in front of the power armor station. Then you can repair it and get rid of the broken armor parts in your inventory. Once you are familiar with the game mechanics, the game is much more fun. 🙂
1:15 - technically you don't have to outfit each individual settler. Even if you throw a pile of guns in the settlement workbench, they will outfit themselves with whatever they have ammo for. Not sure if the same can be said for armor though. 15:29 yes you were giving the dog stuff - you can sort both inventories by type - your inventory was set to the general everything "My Inventory" while the dog was only showing apparel items. 18:17 - in order for a settler to use a gun they need at least 1 piece of ammo and they can fire as much as they want. With the exception of grenades and missiles. 22:26 - to take a shot in VATS you need action points (shown as AP in the lower right HUD). Bigger weapons take more points to fire a shot. There are ways to increase AP permanently via Agility, perks, armor mods etc, and also ways to temporarily increase them with recreational pharmaceuticals. It also shows the percentage chance you have to hit each body part. Out of VATS the crosshairs of your gun can give you an idea of how accurate the weapon will be at range. Shotguns are bad at a distance but great up close, for instance. Accuracy might increase a bit while crouching and aiming down the sights. 35:10 - Settlement building can be a big part of the game if you want it to be. A lot of the Minuteman faction stuff is "bringing civilization back to the wasteland", but you can safely ignore most of it. Doesn't hurt to have a settlement here and there though. It's much more important in survival mode. 47:43 - the bottom of your HUD has a compass. 1:05:30 - that trap isn't going to be doing much for defense, unless an enemy just happens to stumble in front of it. Traps are best used in chokepoints. Most craftable traps need triggers and they become broken after they are "set off" (or at least they need to be "reset"). You're better off scrapping it in putting in another guard post (and assign someone to it). Once you find circuitry, get a machinegun turret or two up and running.
Giving anything explosive to an NPC is dangerous to friendly life and limb, including your own. Rember no matter how many friendlies are shooting at them, the enemy priority target is YOU and they like to get up close and personal.
Always store junk, uncooked food, and other in the workbench . The workstations scattered around your settlement are all connected to the workbench . I like to place all my workstations close to my workbench it makes prep much easier.
When you are transferring items to your workshop, you can transfer your junk items into there so you don't have to carry them. You can also break down weapons and armor for more material (if you choose to) you get more as you play. You also don't need to worry too much about settlement building but it is a good way to get experience to level up. Which don't forget to give yourself more perks so you can do more stuff in the game.
@@runawayuniverseshe asked. Is it really spoiler. She hasn’t played any previous fallout (at best that would just be a is it gonna be dogmeat). So unless she’s a huge a boy and his dog fan it just his name.
@@fredmccrary9700 Yes, to me it is a spoiler. Why answer it? Let her find out things on her own while she is playing. Or you could answer with "You need to ask around to learn the dogs name" instead of coming right out and telling her. Maybe that's just me though.
Settlement building is a big part of the game - but it's not a *necessary* part. You can largely just ignore the settlements, if you don't want to deal with it (thought you will keep getting quests and notifications telling you they need various kinds of help). You only really need 1 settlement for the main quest, and you don't even need to do anything with that settlement other than just build some specific stuff. In Survival Mode, though, Settlements are HUGELY beneficial, as they provide crucial resources, a place to sleep, and even allows you to send people to patrol the roads between them, making them somewhat safer to travel.
Just so you know, if no one has told you, all NPCs have infinite ammo with their starter weapon. If you give them another weapon, you'll have to provide ammo for them.
When leveling armorer, gun nut, and science are absolute must haves. Big leagues is also nice when combined with blacksmith. My favorite is a baseball bat with circular saw blades mounted to it, and you don’t have to buy ammo for it. VATS is for sissies, let a computer shoot for you lol, takes all the fun and skill out of it.
Easiest way to make money is to set up a water purification factory at Taffington boathouse. As long as you don’t assign a settler to it raiders won’t attack and steal your water. You can set up an ammunition factory but you will need money to by the materials needed to make ammo.
27:00 If you ever come back to USAF Olivia, and you might for a radiant quest or to re-loot after the game repopulates the area, there's a great treasure room beyond the doors behind this toolbox. ;)
V.A.T.S. Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System. If you wanna be accurate in V.A.TS. level up Perception, if ya wanna get more shots off in V.A.T.S level up Agility. 👍👍🍻
I think I have been called to assist just about every settlement in the vanilla game at one time or another. And many times I have gotten two or more all at the same time.
"Is this game just building settlements for everyone?" Yes! Yes, it is. 😂 I joke. It's not really only that, but it can feel like it a lot of times. 😅 The game is fun at some points. It really is. When you're exploring new places, when you get caught in a hellacious gunfight and you're running, diving, shooting, it can be fun. Problem is the game also has all these settlements you have to take care of and constantly keep up on. And btw, fast traveling is not teleporting. But don't worry, the first time the game kicks you in the ass and takes a settlement away from you for not showing up in time to defend it, you will get over your issues with fast traveling quick.
I have a problem with not noticing the message that a settlement is about to be attacked and needs my help. Even with that, I have lost only 1 settlement in 8 years of playing FO 4. That settlement loss was when playing my present character a couple days ago.
I’m afraid you will have to make a concession to your fast travel stance. If your settlement is under attack and your settlement defenses are not adequate, and you don’t make it there in time the attackers will destroy items, and loot your workbench.
I think your recording or game is playing up, the framerate is tanking. You need to lower the graphical settings in the options or check your OBS software, something isn't right. Or is the full game installed? Is it PS4 or Xbox?
Actually, you did not use VATS on that mutt at the beginning. Yes you highlighted him in VATS, but then you turned it off and shot him with manual hip fire. When you have no nearby enemies and stumbling around in the dark it is ok to turn on your pipboy light. It is much easier to determine what is what if you move to the sub catagories. If you want to give Dog your extra weapons which are heavy, click on the right of the cross pad with your left thumb. That should take you out of INVENTORY and into WEAPONS. Another click will put you at APPAREL, one more click to take you to AID, one more click for MISC, one more click to JUNK then there is MODS, and AMMO. To go back click the left of the cross pad with your left thumb. BTW, when you advance a level you get cured of all ills and your HP is filled up. Some players like to sit on level ups because they want to acquire several perks at one time. I prefer to take them as I get them because there are advantages for being at a higher level. The key to the Intel room can be found in the room behind where you found the locket, which you decided not to enter. If you did that because you didn't want to get overburdened, all you have to do is go back up to the room with the Armor workbench opposite the door going outside. Dump all your extra stuff in the armor workbench and go down again to gather the rest of the loot. Then visit the workbench again to grab what you want immediately and make a couple trips to Sanctuary. No loot gets lost and you don't have to travel while overburdened. Blake Abernathy said you could use their workshop because you now have another settlement. And when you finish the task for TenPines you will have another settlement. Preston will nickle and dime you like that until you have all the settlement sites (about 30) up and operating as active settlements. What he really wants is to make you the General of the Minutemen so that you will feel obligated to do what he wants without hesitation. Interacting with the cat means your body comes to a screeching halt because you ran into a cat lying in the middle of where you are going. The cat does what cats do and ignores you at all times. Note the gray color so he is always camouflaged. Sometimes he sits on the workshop and sometimes he cannot be found. I think he is happy-making for the settlers. I don't know where you are going but it sure isn't Sanctuary. You might try looking at the compass on the bottom of your screen. Fast travel is NOT teleportation. Wicked Shipping are smugglers. Yes there is useful stuff there but You don't know yet what is useful and what is not useful. How much weight is Dog carrying. He can carry about 150. The flame thrower breaks every time you use it. So, you repaired it and because it was connected to a running generator it started throwing fire, so it broke again. Why you even have one is beyond me.
Let her discover everything by her own, which we want to see mostly from a blind playthrough. It's a rare fresh playthrough of a fallout 4, don't let this be the same with other playthrough by giving away all tips and tricks and other immersion breaking stuff.
18:15 you have to give ammo, no ammo, no bullets fly. Perhaps the outpost crafts ammo, when not... you can craft ammo and guns from scratch at the workbensh!!?(gunbensh? i forget,sorry)
I do it all the time since I am generally overburdened. Sometimes I will go so far as to double the weight I am carrying between where I started out and arriving at my destination. Me arriving carrying 1200-1500 is not at all uncommon. And I have arrived carrying twice that on several occasions. When I say I pick up everything, I mean EVERYTHING.
How much ammo you have for a weapon is shown just under how much damage it does. And your dog does have a name 🐕🦺 You need to speak to a certain character in order to learn it. Hopefully no one will spoil it for you on here. Gear/weapons that have a + next to the item description is an upgrade to what you're currently using. Best to upgrade every chance you get. Some things work a hell of a lot better than others depending on the situation.
You need to level up so you can pick some perks (like Gun Nut or Blacksmith for example) to help you improve items, give yourself extra abilities ect. ect.
