It seems as though once you've scrapped everything in a settlement it becomes harder to build there. I'm out of wood along a supply line. All used up. But I've just started on a new settlement. Thing is, merchants don't seem to have shipments of wood. They only sell bits n pieces. I haven't been able to find that much exploring either. I sure hope modders could add more different types of shipments of materials to merchants inventories.

the baseball guy in diamond city sells wood shipments and theres another merchant who does as well i just dont remember who it is. maybe connie abernathy?

You can buy a shipment of wood in Diamond City, from the guy who sells the baseball bats. Also, just scrap everything in a new settlement and then either transport it to your other one or build a supply line to it.

Also Gray Garden; talk to Mr. Green. He sells wood shipments.

Thanks. Let me know if you find out who else does. I still haven't found very many official town merchants yet besides the ones in Diamond City and Goodneighbor. There's the one on The Prydwyn too. The settlement merchants you can assign yourself don't seem to have much on them.

You are correct! Both do!

once you get a shipment u might be able to resource glitch it and never worry again.

Resource glitch? I've heard about the merchant money glitch but not about a resource glitch.

yea youtube it. definetly comes in handy and its not patched.

You can also get Wood by scrapping certain weapons.

Local leader and set up supply lines. You're obviously not going to build skyscraqers at every settlement location. Some locations have tons of wood just sitting there waiting to be harvested.

Connie Abernathy at Abernathy Farms sells a shipment of 50 wood. If you complete the quest her husband gives you she'll give a discount. I usually circle around my settlments 2-3 times harvesting crops, chems, and purified waters and then to Diamond City. I hit Connie up for fertilizer 25x2, cloth 25, and wood 50. Moe in DC for wood 100, Percy in DC for steel 100x4, and the trader lady there for another steel 100. Then I hit up trashcan Carla for oilx25 and I also buy all the junk from vendors that I can and store it in a trunk next to my workbench in sanctuary hills. Once I get 6x all the junk I scrap it all manually at various locations so as to bring down the building limit. Usually adds a decent amount of resources. You can also build trader shops in your settlements and buy all there junk.

I never scrap everything in a settlement unless I'm sure I want it out of the way. Sometimes I leave some trees or even stumps where they are, for the atmosphere and sometimes as a natural cover for when there's a gunfight. I've noticed many people saying wood being a scarce resource but there are many common items, such as pencils, cutting boards, and some lesser known junk that I can't recall, that are excellent sources of wood.

Yeah I found it on YouTube. Unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work. Even tried quicksaving and reloading like someone suggested, but nope, still couldn't.

Yeah, you can buy "shipment of wood - 100" from the "baseball guy" in Diamond City. However, it is kinda of expensive.

Connie Abernathy @ Abernathy Farm sells "shipment of wood - 50" for a decent price especially after you complete their quest and they join up to support the Minutemen. It's a decent size settlement for you to upgrade. Sells shipments of cement as well if you want to create concrete walls / foundations.

Mr. Greene in Graygarden will sell you "shipment of wood - 50" as well. If you complete the quest Graygarden will align themselves with you and you get better prices (like Abernathy Farm). Graygarden produces a lot of food and is populated by 6 robots like Mr. Handy. Sells shipments of cement as well if you want to create concrete walls / foundations.

Prices depends on your charisma and anything you wear that boosts charisma. Buying the "100 wood" from Diamond City currently costs my character 320 caps. Buying "50 wood" from Abernathy / Graygarden costs 123 caps.

It's also worth mentioning that if you plan on going the "buy resources" route then putting some perks into cap collector is a good idea, since you will be bartering quite often. Make sure to buy the fertilizer 25x2 from Connie Abernathy and use it to make jet. It sells really well and you get xp for making it. I not only buy all their junk and most of their shipments, but I usually can clean out their caps stash with all the crops, jet, and purified water I produce.

Also brooms and mops. I made like a janitor and started looking out for those things, got much wood now.
