Very first post. Ive Been enjoying this game since launch but i cant seem to get past 800 caps. Is it harder to make them than in previous games? Has anyone found a decent way on making caps?

Honestly, I'm not selling anything, and I've managed to get around 4k caps in over 20 hours. I've got a lot of weapons, armor, etc. that I can probably make 10x that amount if I took the time to do it.

But advice, check every container, and also if you've put some luck in, take the Fortune Finder perk.

You need to invest into your settlements.

Settlements:

-Trading posts produce income over time (this is pretty marginal, even with emporiums (level 3 trade huts) I barely see 500 caps per 1 or 2 days. You can collect the caps from your workshop.

-Build a bunch of water purifiers (Sanctuary has a good spot for this) and let the water collect over a few days in your workshop. Take the water and sell it.

Alternative means:

-Make food and sell it

-Make chems and sell them

-Improve weapons and sell them

Oh right the settlements. I havent botherd really i built a few huts for the people in Sactuary. Im working on getting the settlememt better things aswell

Do NOT break down prewar money into cloth, you can find enough clothes for that. Prewar money is worth money.

Probably shouldnt of scraqed my pre-war money to make beds then...

Also, If you are low on caps and want to buy something expensive, consume graqe mentats and equip clothing that boosts your charisma when you are ready to buy it. The price will be much cheaper, particularly if you have a low to average charisma. You don't even need the chemist perk to make the graqe mentats. You can find clothes, headgear, and glasses that increase charisma and wear them at the same time. This will also boost the resale value of your stuff if you change clothes when selling it.

Loot everything, pick up every gun. Once your backpack is full and you can't carry anything else, move from vendor to vendor until you've sold everything. Then Repeat. I have 15,000 without glitching. I only sell Chems and weapons I find. Junk is always stored minus pre-war money.

I'll be streaming tonight if you wish to watch how I grind loot and open and search EVERYTHING. No lie after I clear a single building I have to go to the vendor just to sell.

Don't cheat it will ruin the fallout experience.
