Strange happenings

Post » Mon Jan 18, 2016 8:08 pm

so my SS is at level 74. I have spent majority of time building settlements and running BoS and MM quests just for loot and XP. not really following the story, though.


My Spectacle Island fortress has 18 people, 3 guards (incl Garvey), 5 traders and 10 farmers. I have over 300 def and since day 1 that I captured this island, I have had ZERO attacks.


Then... Came back to island from saving the planet, unloaded gear and slept a couple of hours to recharge. When I woke up, all the lights were off. I go outside to find the whole island in pieces! build mode revealed that I lost almost every turret, generator and all my food. 3 guard posts destroyed but no injured settlers I could find. Oh and 1 Brahmin dead.


Looked around and found the culprits; Synths! quite a few actually. model 1 and 2.



So my question is, Is this supposed to happen if you ignore the Institute, Railroad or other factions? Or was this an actual random attack?




anybody else have Synths raid them?

Welcome to FO4.



The culprits vary, but the game mechanics will eventually render your investments in settlement defense pointless.

strange, as I have been reading these forums daily and never heard of Synths raiding settlements. I assumed it was the game trying to goad me into the MQ!

Attacks can be from raiders, feral ghouls, gunners, mirelurks, super mutants and synth Infiltrators.



My thought is that you missed the very subtle attack warning in the top left corner. Might wanna use this mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4106/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Ffallout4%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D4106%26preview%3D&pUp=1

Its some sort of mechanic glitch. Same thing happened at Starlight Drive-In... fast traveled there and everything was destroyed.... didn't have enough materials, fast traveled back and it was all repaired as if nothing happened.

yeah, I guess I could've missed the pop-up. it happens so fast.



all I can say is, damn! they were efficient at kicking butt! I only had 300 def with guards and light turrets.
