» Mon Nov 30, 2015 4:06 pm Hi, my name is Axel and after years and years of loving Bethesda games I have decided to create an account after encountering a rare problem (rare as I have not seeing many people having it) with the settlement feature. I posted this on Steam Forums but tough that it will fit better in here, specially if someone in staff see this and tries to fix this issues when a patch is out. I′m copy/pasting the post as it′s pretty long and detailed of everything that happened to me (Oh look that, I can′t copy/paste and I′m forced to writte the whole thing again, how delightful). As I mention in the end, PLEASE, some help will be greatly welcomed, as I′m not playing anymore with this save as the constant attacks are becoming annoying and feels like an infinite chore rather a fun side feature. Also, I′m not english native speaker, so excuse my poor grammar:
I made Starlight Drive Inn my main settlement, it′s a flap surface, pretty big and you already have a building there. I put a level 3 water pumping system, that′s 40 resources of water from a few materials, I tough that was a good idea. The thing is, since I have 40 water, according to a pop up in the begging I should have 40 deffenses. I have 41, yet the game keeps point out that this settlement is poorly secured in the workshop menu on my pip-boy, as if I′m short on it, like a say, 41 deffense, still not enough for this particular settlement apparently.
I decided to ignore this, thinking it was a game bug or something. And then...the attacks started. The first 10 or so were mostly raiders attacking at night in groups of 3 and some wandering critters during the day, it was harmless and despite having 3 entrances the attackers would always come from the same direction, so there was no biggy and it was fun. Problems started when I finally creater all crafting stations and assemble a house for myself, right after that I got a message saying "help deffend Starlight Drive Inn", I went there and to my surpraise this time I was being attacked by 8 raiders at once, even worst, some of them just appear inside the settlement all of the sudden.
The [censored] got real, suddenly my next attacks were from a group of 5 zombies while I was there, I go do my thing and got another pop up about the settlement being under attack again, went there and found 4 radscorpions inside the perimeter. Kill them all, went to sleep, and when I woke up I hear another attack. 6 super mutants with 3 mutated hounds appear. I see them pushing against the wall that I created to keep the settlement save until suddenly 3 of them appear inside, it seems as the IA doesn′t understand there′s a wall there and the game eventually said "fine, I′ll let you get to the other side if you stop pushing". They broke several of my turrets and even manage to destroy 3 generators, which by the by are way to expensive to repair in a circunstance like this where I know I will keep getting attacks that destroy generators on 1 or 2 shoots. And to make things worst, every one of this big attacks makes one of the settlers, the closer ones that are generally unharmmed farmers, to put on the power armor, MY POWER ARMOR. THe time I was atttacked by supermutants one of those farmers put it on and run to them with no gun, and then refuse to take it off because every time I ask him he would thank me because "now he can finally think straight" and that nuka cola is the only thing he can drink now (if you know him you know what NPC I′m talking about), by the 10th time I told him to get out he did, while still telling me about Nuka COla. When I got it back to it′s place and everything I found out that a Laser Turret is not getting power despite being connected and the other stuff connected to the same generator working perfectly, it′s a medium generator (+5 power) powering the Laser Turret, a Spotlight and the recruitment radio signal (2+2+1=5 so what the hell??). THe turret is not broken and is indeed conected to the power. Also, just 5 minutes after the mutant attack raiders appear and two of my settlers, farmers, runned away and never came back till the next day, no idea why they did it and where they went, but I have seen in several ocasions those farmers and the other 2 I have passing trough solid exterior walls just like the super mutants attack.
The worst part of all this is, the settlement is already at almost maximun capacity in size, therefor I just can′t put tons of new stuff around. I produce 12 food I believe, 40 water, like 20 power and the mentioned 41 deffense. Can somebody explain to me what did I do wrong to have so many attacks and my deffenses consider to be not enough according to the game and also unable to stand their ground?
I desperately need help as this is starting to weight on my enjoyment of the game, as I have to be constantly going back to deffend the settlement of infinite hordes of enemies and several attacks that occur one after the other, and none of those would be that much of a problem if enemies didn′t just appear inside the settlement or walk pass the walls that I spend so much materials and time to build and then by ignored by the IA.
Will try to upload some picturesso that people can see my settlement and tell me if there′s something I′m doing wrong, if I find out how the forums allow to post links as of now it doesn′t even allow me to copy/paste from my original post on Steam forums.
