I am so into this game right now. I got over 30 Fusion Cores so I'm never out of it!
Mega short of aluminum to keep it in good shape and do the tasty gun mods.
I've found the best thing to buy with is... money! It's everywhere and each bit is worth 8 caps and it doesn't weigh anything.

The guy voicing Nick Valentine is absolutely spot on, and I can't wait to start the Winter's End mission or something which is something to do with the guy he's programmed from.

Utterly utterly superb.

The way I do it is collect as much ammo as possible if you have the perk then buy your aluminium and sell the ammo you don't use. I also make/find Grape Mentats which give you a bargaining edge. I also pick up ally cans but the ammo weighs nothing so you can use that as your currency.

Today I shall be mainly amassing even more power armour. I have become a hoarder.

You need to assign settlers to tend the crops. Each settler can tend about 6, I think.

Having said that, I do have some crops that never yield harvest and I can't select or remove. I think that might be a bug. Fortunately I only have about 6 like that.

I can't even assign anyone to them. I can't harvest, they don't glow green to assign...

That's the issue I have with some of mine too. I'm guessing it's a bug.

Ahh, I thought I was being a muppet....

BTW, has anyone else discovered the "secret" of Vault 81? That was amusing!

Yes. Great little side quest.

[Mr E]

Have been spending time in power armour. It does somewhat change conflicts...

If anyone wants a good, renewable, source of Steel and Fibre Optics and doesn't mind that it's a borderline exploit then at Jamaica Plain, down in the basement where all the laser tripwires are, you can rest the tripwires by opening and closing the door at the end of the corridor by using the button. Disarm each tripwire, then rinse and repeat for as long as you can bear the tedium of doing so.

Went to the Corvega plant today (level 21 with some choicest weapons... Reba II, Suppressed 10mm pretty much fully upgraded, .45 combat sniper with large mag). Bloody good fun, lots and lots of raiders in and out of the building. All of them pretty much 1 shot kills with the 10mm. Looted a lot of drugs, stimpaks and ammo. Good times.

Bloody glowing legendary mirelurk. Maybe I am just not high enough level yet, but these things seem invincible! I got a direct hit with a fatman. No effect. Got a bottle cap mine on it.... no effect. I ended up in many pieces because it went off too close. I was reading about the gamma gun and it says +50% damage on Mirelurks. Must be broken as it does the square-root of naff all to them.

.308 to the face seems to do decent damage. But again, not to the glowing ones. I just need to get past him so I can turn on this dudes turrets and get a hold of a special sniper rifle called the Overseers Protector, or something to that effect. Or is it Reba II?

Got to hit them in the face, shotgun in the face sorts them out usually OR... OR currently just a super sledge anywhere on them :]

I think you can just run past them. That's what I did the first time (since given up on that but will return soon).

It's the Reba 2 that you get. Just dose 50% more damage to bugs. If you want the Overseers Protector you need to buy it from the nice lady in vault 81. Well worth the circa 2500 caps! Mine still a .45 and dose 130 damage per shot! That's better than my 50 cal sniper! Lol

Are there any other really good guns in the game?

Managed it in the end, sniping them from the chruch rooftop. Though I think I lucked into it as the glowing one just stood there staring at me, taking round after round in the face. Got the Reba II, shes a beaut. Is it supposed to have the long electronic scope thing? I find the graphics effect of that when you look through it really brings the FPS down counteracting its usefulness.

Moved up the road to the Children of Atom camp. What a bunch of bds. Retreating to the church of witch craft wasn't the best of ideas either. In fact, a whole other world of pain! Hint I think you need to be level 50 to stand a chance!

Yeah they are annoying! Gamma guns seem to be very OP against me. Around 5 hits and I'm totally dead thanks to the rads. Although i was around that area yesterday looking for a bobble head and could hear a BOS chopper thingy overhead. And lots of gunfire and gamma shots going off so investigated. I found 2 BOS guys in power armour taking on the COA guys. I just stood behind the power armour guys and looted all the bodies.

Once the brotherhood had killed them all I dropped the two of them and stole the parts of there power armour. So it dose pay to investigate gunfire some times.

Anyone managed to shoot the fusion core out of power armour yet?

Not sure if I shot the fusion core out, but I did hit a raider in power armour, in the back where the core is and he had just over half health left. It finished him off. So not sure if that is just a weak point, or you cause the core to detonate or something.

Question. Is there an easier way to change a fusion core than getting out of the armour?

It will do it automatically as long as you have more cores in your inventory.

Yes. Just let it run out and it will be swapped for another one automatically. However, you will lose the empty and a fusion core with only 1% remaining is worth something when selling.

As far as aluminium goes, TV dinner trays are your friends. I think alarm clocks have a bit in them as well as some nuclear material.

FYI You can mark a resource you need (such as aluminium) and then any junk item you come across in the world that contains said resource has a magnifying glass next to it.

Yeah I enjoyed Corvega. I did it at level 8 with mostly a laser musket.

You mean you are not collecting every single aluminium can you see? Lol not started collecting tin cans yet (for steel) but not far off.

You can shoot the core out but I think you need several consecutive hits in he fusion core to do it. I have tried biting and then running away and that dose not work. Have seen vids of people using dogmeat to hold the guy in the power armour while they unload of the fusion core. It then turns red and ejects followed shortly after by a large bang. Guy in power armour then slows to a stop and gets out.

I would try it but can't find dogmeat.

I've had this problem and found him lurking around in Sanctuary.

[DataHamster]

Just visited Cambridge Polymer Labs

There's a very amusing reference to an internet meme during the initial part. There is reference made to the Defense Evaluation Research and Procurement Initiative. Or DERP.

Well, it made me laugh anyway.

I clocked that too
