I'm around level 22. Sanctuary right now has around 7-8 people living in it. My defense is around 9 or so, with food 7, and I don't have any other settlements developed. Sanctuary's not being attacked for some reason. Is it normal for Sanctuary to not be attacked for so long? I've built two turrets near the river entrance, but that's about it.

Do you have a recruitment beacon going? If not put one up and leave it on.

I don't yet, as a matter of fact. Does that affect the chances of being attacked?

Yes it feels like that. I also noticed if you increase the Amount of Beacons, you will get faster Settlers.. Someone noticed that too?

As it happens Sanctuary didn't get attacked in my games for a long time.

After i had built up the other settlements and got to higher levels it would get the occasional low level attackers.

In my games some settlements get attacked a lot more often than others.

Some have never been attacked at all.

Presumably it varies between games.

By the way food at 7 means someone doesn't have a full quota.

You are 5 food units short.

Settlers tend 6 units of food each.

Sanctuary hills only got attacked once by super mutants, before my game glitched and i had to go back to an old save, after that it hasnt been attacked since i even have 2 settlements with no defenses and they havent been attacked, one has 2 people and a spawn point for feral ghouls right next to it, and its never been attacked, another one has a whole complex full of supermutants right in view not attacked once, Abernathy farm, whoevers the leader is a paranoid psycho.

Sanctuary has never been attacked fr me in 1? playthroughs while al others have had attacks, it's bugged
