I thought I sent him back to Sanctuary, but then couldn't find him in any of the doghouses (there's like 4 there). I wonder if he went to Red Rocket instead. He's got some weapons and stuff I want back.

I actually scrap more than I sell. Especially with the scrounger perk maxed (you get more than just the basic components) Though Caps are nice for buying a few of the legendary weapons and armors from merchants.
I made the mistake of downloading all the Skyrim DLCs for SWMBO recently (yeah, I know, I'm behind the times), so naturally she's been hogging the Xbox the last few weeks.
The only other "gaming" devices I have are an ancient laptop that's slower than molasses, and an iPad that's not much better. I ended up downloading a port of ChronoTrigger on the tablet, because I was curious what all the hype was about (20 years ago). Never been a huge fan of JRPGs, but this one's pretty fun so far.
I still love that game.

Last time I played FO4. I actually saw the UFO fly and crash. That was pretty cool. Glad I saw it fly by. Now have the alien blaster to kill my enemies!

I am amazed by people who are able to switch back and forth between games. I buy a game, install it, and play it until I hate myself and my ruined life. Then, I walk away from the XBox for a few months. Then I buy a new game, and the cycle of hate repeats.
My current drug of choice is also Fallout 4. I spent (literally) 400 hours playing FO3, there's NO WAY I'm getting away from FO4 in less than twice that time, is my guess.
So far, I'm impressed by how developed the world is, and how many things can be collected and scrapped. I've only built up Sanctuary so far. Everybody else can just deal with their own shi*t, I'm mean hey: the Wasteland's tough, you know? I got bobbleheads to find.

I used to do this too. I have found I stay with a game longer if I take a break from it every now and again. I used to get to ~90% and then say "**** it, I'm tired of this" and move on. Now, I finish the games I most enjoy through periodic binges.
My problem is I binge for awhile. Get tired and put it up for a bit. Then I go back to it knowing now where I left offend have to start over. Lather rinse and repeat and I never finish these huge ass games

I go in spurts. I was playing Destiny until I got COC, played the campaign until I got to a spot that I kept dyeing and it pissed me off. I switched to FO4 and have been played pretty much every day at least a few hours except for the last couple day... no time to play. It kinda reset my addiction feel and now I don't feel like I have to rush home and get on the game. Which is good I guess... I do have a few more things I would like to do.
Like most I haven't played the armor unless I need to and haven't found a time that it's really needed but it does help.
I upgraded a combat shotgun and for clearing a building it's pretty awesome, I am only level two gunnut and at the end of my last play I took the level 1 science perk so I can start to upgrade the laser gun you get from the brotherhood (can't remember what it's called).
I also upgraded a sniper rifle that does a great job and hanging back and picking things off.
I have been selective on what I pick up now, at first I was picking up everything but now I'm kind of selective when I first start into a place. after I'm over my weight limit I start picking up everything, which always happens so I don't know why I bother passing things up. I just pisses me off to not be able to fast travel to a place I can store the junk where it's useful. So I end up dumping things into workstations or armor stations that I come across... Like I'll ever get back to it and get it. It's really not working out for me.
Some of the super mutants that just pop out of nowhere still take a ton of damage and keep on coming so I know I don't have the best weapons and really don't know which weapons to keep and upgrade, it seems like there is a pretty good selection of them.

Use your companion. They can carry some of the burden for you. Points in the Strong Back perk eventually allow you to run and fast travel though carrying too much.
However, I just find a container close to the entryway of whatever building I am exploring and dump everything in there periodically. Once the area is cleared, I start moving everything to sanctuary. The corvega plant took me 6 trips to move everything.
On the last trip back, before I move on to another area, I always hit the weapons and armor workbenches and either scrap or mod as I see fit.
Did someone say you can get a house in Diamond City?
Does it have a workbench and can you link it with your other workbenches?

I'm trying to run a power line from a generator to a water pump but the line never connects. It is also red. I read somewhere that you need copper. I've searched everywhere for copper but can't find it. Where do I get copper?

The object will light up with a white outline if the wire can connect. Certain electronic items (I want to say the alarm clock or the toaster?) can be scrapped for copper.
It seems like I've scrapped those things but I can't find copper in the inventory anywhere. Do I have to convert those items somewhere? Or should the copper show up automatically when I scrap it?

IIRC, when you scrap at a workbench the items do not show up in your inventory. They show up in the workbench inventory.

I'm not convinced I like the mechanic of it yet.
It does make better use of collectibles than the previous versions did but adds an element of frustration into modding weapons and building settlements.
I do like the weapon mod function in this version of the game. Not sure I care about the settlements part.
I think the most annoying bit is, despite all the sh!t you collect and scrap for parts, there is no empty casing reload or ammo crafting function.

I sometimes do that with other games. Just a little here and there. With FO4 I havent played anything else. I still feel like I havent gotten far in that game.
Yea you can. You have to go the the mayor which a window cleaning elevator can take you to his office. You can talk to the secretary and buy a house for I believe 2000 caps or you can basically take over Kelloggs house. Nothing in there is theft and you can sleep in the bed and use his benches.

I've read so much here the last few days I don't even know if I care to turn the game back on.
I did however just find this really enjoyable. I'm just glad it didn't spoil the rest of the story for me. I'll finish it someday. I swear.

Yes, but I haven't found that I am able to set up a linkage to diamond city yet. Still looking into it. There is a workbench in the house and there are weapon/armor ones between the shops
Try connecting it the other direction. I had that trouble a couple times. It seemed to connect okay the other way. There is also, I think, a distance where you have to put up power poles or what have you to span a gap. Copper comes from electronics that you scrap. Junk stored in the workbench will automatically break down into its component parts when needed (if in the same settlement)

does the generator have line of sight to the pump, and is the pump close by? Does the generator produce enough power to activate the pump?
Yes and yes. When I run the line and try to connect it, the line turns red. I'm assuming that means I'm missing a component. The generator creates 5 energy and the water purifier uses 2 energy I believe.

Gen and pump are too far apart, or there is some other obstacle in the wires path (bush, debris, clipping a building, etc..).

It is a far cry from virtual hunting.

+1 to what GMB said, I'm guessing they are to far away from each other. either move the gen closer or put a pole between them, the larger pole lets wire go farther. There is a limit to the length you can run a wire and items can get in the way.

Fallout 5, Detroit Michigan. Raiders are drug dealers, ghouls are pimps, mutants are auto execs.

I just really want a place to dump some stuff in around there and be able to get to it at a settlement. I dislike humping stuff back a fourth to a settlement from some random place I stashed it.
I suppose this will be a non-issue if I ever get the strong back perk up. Or when I get merchants setup at on of the settlements.
