How many threads are you going to make complaining?
I must have missed the glitch but here's the thing....
Settlements when developed really produce a whole lot of resources that the player can then exploit anyway, sure it takes a lot of time to get going IF your really into taking your time building and arranging them to look nice but from what I've seen a lot of people just toss stuff any ol way they can.
Anyway my point is I've built a lot of stuff and spent a lot of "game days" on it so I know for certain that resources will start to accumulate pretty fast when you get your 4rth/5th settlement fully developed.
Could someone clarify what the OP is saying they took away? The poor English has me confused..
Something to consider, they may have 'fixed' the exploits because their testing discovered that somewhere down the line it can cause major problems in game.
That was the main speculation on the removal of the Ogmha Infinitium book exploit in Skyrim. That it may have caused issues with the Legendary update.
The only "exploit" I employ is the settlement size limit workaround (I dislike arbitrary limits on how much I can build).
Other than that, it's by the book. Water farms work just fine for generating caps.
Well you can't craft ammo so...................
