Most people use the one in Sanctuary.įinally, each model of Power Armor, with the exception of Raider Armor, can be modified with a paint scheme. Power Armor can be modified and repaired at Power Armor stations which you will find all over the commonwealth. As the game progresses you will be able to get your hands on Fusion Cores more readily but at the start, use sparingly. Power Armor needs to be powered by a Fusion Core and these do deplete so you won’t be walking around in Power Armor for the whole game. Therefore it might be worth holding off on upgrading until you have the required perks to save on materials. My tip - Sanctuary comes with a ton of wood and steel, making it the ideal place to pair with any fledgling settlement.It’s worth noting that the upgrade materials required are the same from say Model A to B or A straight to D. Hit the button and choose which settlement to send them to - as soon as their name changes to Provisioner you'll be able to share resources. Supply caravans mean that connected settlements pool their Workshop contents - enter Workshop mode, highlight a spare Settler, and you'll see an option for Supply Line pop up at the bottom of the screen.

That might not mean much, but let me ask you - have you ever tried to build a Radio Transmitter and been told you don't have a crystal, because you stored it in a workshop 50 miles away? This solves the inevitable rage-destruction. Grab the first rank of the Local Leader perk (it's in the Charisma section) and you'll be able to send supply caravans from one settlement to another. If you're going to spend time building a sizeable settlement this is, if not essential, then really, really, really, very, really helpful. Seriously, how the hell did they make these?


A side-effect of this monstrous size is that a few basic gameplay mechanics that Bethesda smuggled into the game simply don’t get communicated to the player.
