Alright, so I think I've hit the wall...my tolerance for the minuteman and their absolutely stupid "General another settlement (WHICH YOU JUST [censored] SAVED) needs our help!" has reached a breaking point.

I lost the allegiance of a settlement today, and frankly I could care less because it was the "kidnap x 1000000" one that I kept going back to. When I stopped crafting with them, I honestly wanted to burn the village to the ground...but then Preston said "hey these guys need our help" AND IT WAS ANOTHER KIDNAPPING FROM MY NOW EX SETTLEMENT!

Right....so I decided that no matter what I do...how hard I work...I can never actually do anything/lose with settlements. - which defeats the purpose of them.

Well I went to Diamond City, got some reconstructive surgery to look like a certain bald headed drug king pin (those guides are useful) and re-purposed the castle into a massive drug factory.

I'm also changing the flashing sign to "HEISENBERG"

Yes! God I wish we could farm hubflower in vast quantities...

The settlement where you constructed 100 heavy laser turrets and where you equipped all your settlers with X-01 Power Armor and Gatling lasers needs your help, cause 2 level 3 raiders equipped with pipe pistols are attacking

How'd you guess?

I think a couple of days ago a mod popped up at the Nexus that gave you the ability to disable the help quests.

Found it: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/7277/?

Haven't tested it yet though.

got to ask yourself, how did Beth play the game for hundreds of hours in testing and not notice this issue?

I've set up all settlements I can now and only 5 or 6 of them have any settlers because of how bad the system is. After wiping out all the super mutants, ghouls and raiders in half the map near a settlement why would they keep moving back in and trying the same thing that got the others killed...

I'm not jet too. together with some cheats and mods, but jet is the best!

Does it really get that bad....... I'm only level 15....and just a few settlements... I've still got a settlement on my to do list.

Maybe if you just left such quests to-do, do you think that would solve the problem?

I don't mind doing a few..... but I want to do other things as well.

I put machine guns at the settlements I completed. Does that not help.

I've yet to use jet, but found it quite funny when I turned around after hearing a whooshing sound to see Nick pumping jet into his mouth. Three in a row!
