Great patch, much needed fixes and HBAO+. Things looking up, finally.

"Added status menu for settlers in your settlements"

why nobody over at Bethesda thought to add this to the original game is beyond logic to me. Still at least I don't have to play dress up anymore to know who's doing what.

Perhaps I could be inclined to do a minutemen ending now, if it means what I think it means, regarding radiant quests perhaps?

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 5:46 pm

could beq they just didn't have time. I doubt a lot of people were assigned to that part of development, and the release date was probably etched in stone.

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 6:51 pm

I wonder about that one...hopefully the option to ask for a quest, instead of automatically receiving it is what they fixed..

well I suppose it's time to let go of the caps glitch and download both patches...if this latest one is true, I may get back into settlement stuff again..

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 9:09 pm

Yes! Some nices fixes in there. Diamond City workshops, here I come!

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 7:05 pm

Well, I hope it is regarding those radiant quests. Now they just need to fix settlement attacks as well

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 1:34 pm

Hindsight is always 20/20. I'm just glad it's finally addressed.

I don't know if that's what the fix is, or if it's simply a fix for the quests sending you to repeat locations too frequently.

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 4:42 pm

Im glad melee is getting addressed, sad there's no mention of fixing all the broken consumables.

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 11:21 am

When you highlight a settler in build mode, now you see his or her assigned jobs. Red icon means no job. A knife-and-fork icon actually means crops, not food & drink stores. Food and drink stores are indicated by a "glass of beer" icon. A scavenging station is indicated by a confusing-looking icon: an eagle. Weapon store = bullets with the "C" symbol that stands for caps, Armor store = shield with "C" symbol. Guard post = only a shield. Clothing store = T-shirt. General store = shopping cart. Clinic = medical bag.

There is still no indication of bed assignments, which I think is more necessarily. Settlers without beds lead to loss of happiness, but settlers without shops or vice versa do not.

The scavenging icon confused me too, but I think it's supposed to be a vulture. You know, scavenging. >.>

In my experience, settlers auto-assign themselves to beds once enough have been built. Just make sure you have enough beds and you should be fine.

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 11:33 am

I just checked Pip-Boy > Data > Workshops, and it still showed the wrong number of settlers in a settlement, just like it has been doing from time to time. I went there, entered build mode, and saw the correct number as it should be. To me, that's not fixed. If the first item on the list isn't fixed, don't hold your breath for the rest of the list.

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 5:33 am

Great Performance Boost!

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 7:23 pm

Ah, well that's disheartening. ??

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 7:10 am

Beta update haven't arrived for me yet. My Beta still says 1.3 while the new Beta is 1.3.45 So perhaps, it hasn't arrived at your location yet? Could be for consoles first, and then PC (I'm on PC)

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 6:54 pm

The icons for all stores should have the "C" symbol for caps for consistency, since all stores produce income.

Beds don't always get auto-assigned for some reason, as many and I have experienced. Sometimes they also become unassigned.

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 7:34 pm

I'm already using the newest beta since I'm now seeing settlers' job assignments (https://www.dropbox.com/s/xanjjrchjvgnocz/2016-01-15_00006.jpg?raw=1).

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 3:35 pm

Ahhh, ok. Think I misunderstood your post then, my bad

» Tue Jan 19, 2016 7:13 am

Fairplay to Beth,

Off to see if settlements work better now..
