I'm sitting at 11,500. My main source of income seem's to be selling food that I make. Also I sell chem's to the guy in diamond city. I make buff jet and psycho buff, and usually have around 40 on me before I go see the dealer to sell him at least half of my stash. If you get that one barter perk, and eat some graqe mentats before you sell, you'll get a little extra on return, which is dope. Never really need to buy anything because I'm always getting random drops, kind of one my gripes with this game too. There are way WAY to many random drops and OP weapons. I mean, I can't tell you how many fatmans I've come across just lying around. I remember in Fo3 these thing's were rare. Meh

Use energy weapons. I just bought ammo for 4000 caps that will last about five minutes

Hav'nt had to spend any caps yet in game and i am level 19 , And if ammo actually had any weight i would be buried in it... And its easy to upcraft OP weapons so that aint a problem, i save my PA for bad areas and currently have over 20 powercores...(mind i die a lot) ..currently in combat armour and that seems okay with the right mods.. Its weird the game itself seems harder than 3 or NV but the drops are way better, like an above poster said i have three FatMen launchers and more mini nukes than i can shake a stick at...

I'm just saying, you got loads of money, just get really high on chems and go find a bunch of super mutants to take it out on

If we are lucky this can be fixed by modifying 1 variable. Im already looking for it, I dont want to play like this.
