It feels surreal to see all these new F76 guides and tutorials in 2024. I’m so happy that the TV series reminded the world that Fallout existed lol

[@Iceykitsune]

For stuff to put in the garden I'd HIGHLY recommend Corn, Mutfruit, and Tato because those three along with purified water can be made into vegetable starch which scraps int adhesive.

[@isaacw.107]

Please keep making guides for fallout 76! I just started this game back in February and use your guides as a reference for my play through.

I want to point out that you can get the chemestry workbench plan for free at some of the train stations, the plans for it are often lying on the floor next to the chemestry workbenches lol

[@dennishorror142]

Exactly, Morgan Town Train yard nect to the Airport. Its always next to the bench on a Cart board.

[@scottkendrix6231]

There is also free plans, I think tinker workbench, at lakeside cabins next to the bench on the Cliffside porch behind one of the cabins.

[@safewizard_3106]

@@scottkendrix6231 yep I found it there too

[@brodull1142]

I got three chemistry plans and somehow no tinker yet.

[@lastking4979]

For newer players let me tell you some…dont be afraid or shy to ask for anything,the fallout community is really generous and will help you in any way

[@misfitlife1866]

I really gave fallout a chance for the first 2 years and when not much really changed I stopped playing, having come back now I’m so overwhelmed with content it makes me happy, it actually feels like a fallout game now

[@orthex13]

For chem station and tinker workbench plans, go to Lakeside Cabins workshop. You will find a plan for each at their respective bench. No need to do a quest or take the workshop. Just have to get to that location.

[@FallenDestroyerGaming]

you can get the fusion generator for free if you do powering up - "X" events. any of the 3 power plants. It may take 3 attempts to unlock the plan but its one of the 3 rewards that come from doing the event

[@maproductions9269]

That's how I got mine! I didn't know I could have just bought it, but I felt like I accomplished something by earning it 😄

[@Seiishamarasu]

Yeah, I came looking through the comments purely to see if anyone pointed this out. I wasn't aware there were even plans to purchase generators anywhere as when I first started plans in vendors were completely random each session and had a limited capacity (and also only 200 caps limit with their caps unshared by other vendors). The events can be done at any level and rewards you with a generator plan each time and, from my experience, takes account with what generators you already know so, three clears of the event and you're gonna have the fusion generator without spending a single cap.

[@Americaisdabest]

As someone who just started playing 76 because of the show, videos like these are amazing! Thank you 💕

[@cowabungajoe7306]

Thanks for the tips! I’ve been free balling it in the game and haven’t really put any love into my camp. i’m going to use this video to change that.

[@dynastyjumpzz]

Nice I didnt even know the cryo-freezer has a 100% spoilage rate reduction

[@MrWestTek]

Takes a bit of grinding, but it's 100% the best freezer/fridge ;)

[@orthex13]

Stuff does spoil in the cryo. But spoilage rate is so slow you may not notice. I use it to store my Crannberry Cobbler, and during events like the Equinox (where I forget to use the cobbler) i can see the slight spoilage. Regardless, it takes a looooooong time for anything to spoil.

[@beastabuelos6421]

@orthex13 no it doesn't. The only way stuff spoils in your cryo freezer is if you don't have an active camp with a cryo freezer. The stuff that was in your cryo freezer then goes into your stash box and starts spoiling. I've had a yao guai roast in my freezer for months and it's still 100% health

[@tobospuij]

I just started playing FO76 and didn't even know food can spoil

[@AnimeShinigami13]

the sugar bombs freezer is USELESS! i have better with salt stuff lasts for DAYS in game.

[@timblake7046]

You didnt mention 2 things that can help out a player with these items. 1) water purifiers always generate the almost same amount of water for the time waited. For example 1 industrial purifier will produce 5 purified water roughly every 5minutes. 3 of them produce 2 every 5minutes for a total of 6. You only really need 2 and they will produce 3 per 5min. 2) besides selling weapons you pick up purified water as well as tatos are a great way to make money while semi afk. Purified water sells at 5 caps ( with hard bargain) per water and tatos sell at 2 caps. The prices dont seem high but with stacks of these items you can drain a vendor of its cash and relativly easy

[@Shibby]

Helpful overview. Thanks brother!

[@MrWestTek]

Very happy to help :)

[@onvicco]

Awesome tips on this video. I started in March. A lot of the videos I saw when I started were outdated. This is good info here. I've been looking into Power Armor builds and saw yours to use as a base for my level 150+ experience. I'm using a lot of INT utility perks and don't have any Legendary Perks fully upgraded yet, but I'm on the right track thanks to you and the other creators.

[@skaterboy1425able]

[@MrWestTek]

Happy to have you here man :)

[@ryvyr]

I am awash with joy returning to Appalachia, having started at launch though life pulling me away in a few weeks or so and the game dropping off radar until the excellent TV series ^^ The sardonic humour feels NECESSARY in these existential times, and gameplay is so satisfying, with no surprise being a Bethesda title~

[@ProvokeMe64]

Well done. Clear and concise and very informative. Thank you...

[@MrWestTek]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lunarhexagon8108]

Keep on mind to not waste (especially now) rare atoms for things you can buy for gold or optain in some other way in game for ingame currencies And with camp building assist trough team, I think only you cant build in teammate camps is atom shop items and item variants, but all ingame things should be available

[@IraRobinson]

Yeah nothing atom shop or special reward related can be built in someone else's CAMP, but most other things can. Also, important to note, it has to be a private team, not public. Public team mates cannot do anything to other folks' CAMPs.

[@dylanjohnson7031]

This video is so clutch for a new player like myself. I appreciate you!

[@ericmichels6158]

A lot of higher level players sell plans cheap to help new players.

[@austinb9732]

For new players the ammo convertor is HIGHLY recommended it will change your experience

[@FissionFury]

Yeah it makes a difference particularly at early levels. I also found the Armco Ammo machine a must have item as well. Admittedly your character eventually levels up and diminishes the need for the ammo machine but making railway spikes for ammo points from excess steel never gets old

[@Mr.Skrimp]

i played on launch and didn’t like 76 gonna give it another chance finally and use this for my camp👍

[@Bear-zl5ic]

I am a new player and every question I have had I searched on KZbin and it seems like you made a video for it recently lol! You're on the ball

[@micheleladisa820]

thank you man, I'm a new player and these are indeed useful information

[@Itsfoist]

When you’re in build mode in your camp make sure you lock your resources like extractors and water purifiers. It’s LT on Xbox not sure about other platforms

[@saltyexxer8253]

You can get the fusion generator at any level, for free. You just need to complete any of the "power up (poseidon|mononga)" missions two or three times. I think during my last playthrough I did posiedon at level 10 or so. IIRC each time you complete one you get the next higher size generator (up to fusion).

[@Ramskill85]

You can find the chemistry workbench and tinkers workbench plans at the Lakeside Cabins. They’re usually just sat on the workbenches themselves.

[@feiryfella]

You get water purifiers from the Overseer mission too.

[@NoahRodriguez-in6wi]

[@Twylyght1]

Idk if Mr Westek has done a video on this yet, but I would like to see episodes done on unspoken FO 76 rules and guidelines. Example- Don't start an event at 4 minutes on the timer. If you don't need it please don't take it. If there are multiple plans, etc, in the donation boxes, please leave some for the new players that are coming in behind you. Thank you for your videos. I find them informative as well as enjoyable. 😃

[@biostemm]

I think it's lakeside cabins, where there's both the tinker's workbench and chemistry station plans.

[@wayneross3798]

Tatos, corn and mutfruit. Cook them at a fire to make vegetable starch which breaks down to adhesive which everything needs

[@Hippy_Pickle]

Don't know of it's been mentioned in the comments but you can also do any of the 'powering up' events at any of the power plants to get the fusion generator plans for free. I did it twice & got the water wheel and windmill generators. I think the rewards are random out of the generators but sure I heard you'll definitely have it by the 3rd event ☮️❤️✌️

[@doczombiez]

Thanks for this video, is there any chance you can make a new video on must have atom shop items? Im a new player and i bought the ammo converter because it seemed too useful

[@zorthecruel6558]

For the Water Purifiers ability it seems you can claim any claimable production location to get it, not just the one at Tyler County Dirt Track. I got it on my first character a few days ago and rerolled a fresh character with what i learned as a newbie and couldnt figure out how i had unlocked the water purifiers until this vid, lol.

[@Lonewolf-YYR]

Awesome vid! thanks for a detailed overview. And which tune is it in the background? its RAD! ( Pun intended ) :D

[@Loudman._]

If your new to 76 PLEASE 8:50 when you get to level 25 go get the excavator power armor! Its amazing for early game.

[@Lukos0036]

Fusion core recharger is handy if you use power armor a lot.

[@hexbladefire4782]

I seem to remember getting all the generator plans, fusion included, for free, from doing the power plant events. I am however coming back after not playing since early 2020 so things may have changed.

[@Andrew_Li_O]

Mirelurk Steamer is must have for carnivore character! 1 piece gives you +60lb of carry weight, another +50 action points and jerky gives resistance. With this steamer you will never need to farm animals for meat (i farmed brahmin before steamer to get carry weight). Unyielding build with +10 carry weight for armor gives you around 590-610 carry weight with mutation and in a team, also 440 action points with softshell meat piece from steamer, it should be available in following daily atomic shop update for 250 atoms

[@BTASRCRR]

The fusion generator plan can be obtained at one of the 3 power plants too after claiming them also there’s a fusion core maker there to make a fusion core every 7(im new so I’m just stating what I’ve found out so far)

[@jacobhoward4775]

I’m only level 21 and I’ve had the fusion generator plans for a couple levels. I did powering up Poseidon about 4 times so I think I got it from that.

[@Arghun1]

All the powering up quests award random generator plans that you don't have (other than the salvaged solar panel) until you have them all :) So that is indeed where you scored it.

[@jakefletch8405]

Good with salt is a must if you carry a lot of food and then you don’t need a freezer.

[@AsukaVII]

Recently got into 76 since watching show and followed few of your videos so thanks for the help! Generally enjoying the game but man are they greedy locking even basic stuff behind all the micro transactions

[@steve.nighthawk]

Other players in a private party can put down the water coolers from holiday scorched that don't take power

[@AlwaysSullied]

I'd say the most important premium camp station would be the Fusion Core recharging station. ITS A MUST HAVE for people who use PA or run the Gatling Laser. Since I've gotten it I have gotten a dozen cores that were at 20%< power left, now charged to 100%. I just carry 2 cores around and that lasts me all day, and I'll have more Fusion Cores fully charged waiting for me. Fusion Core Recharger is a MUST HAVE. More so than the ammo converter.

[@JJARCHIE]

Agreed , its kinda nice not having to buy cores or save scumming it running overencumbered ( im using an exca PA )

[@AlwaysSullied]

Just wanted to update this, the Electric Absorption perk almost completely nullifies needing a recharging station. Its infinite ammo for the Gatling Laser as long as you swap nearly empty cores into your PA.

[@squidward-er6pl]

Great tips ty now I can have good water. Can you tell me if it's better to play on steam servers. I picked up 76 from Amazon, but Everytime I join a world there are now casual groups and maybe 5 people running around. Thanx

[@somekindadragon3414]

I had to look up how to build at another player’s camp, I met a new player at 2 events in the forest, and he was running around in an incomplete set of power armor. So I wanted to build him the rest at his camp, and he didn’t have a fusion generator or a power armor station. Now I can’t craft most of Raider or T-45 as i apparently didn’t learn the plans, so I’m working on those plans now.

[@charlesspindler8462]

You can power up and repair one of the power plants to get the generator for free straight out the vault

[@bacon098]

I always used the symptomatic for going underground, but you can just use the terminal that you get for free right away.

Just a heads up - the Miner poster is broken - just head into the building, access the receptionist computer and then search your missions to activate the mission for the marker to activate

[@dementedp]

For newcomers: If ‘Miner’s Miracle’ doesn’t activate, make sure to eliminate any Excavator Power Armor parts that a higher-level player might have given you, as this can prevent the quest from triggering properly. Simply remove them from your stash and inventory. This happened to me.

[@user-vm8eg4te4u]

Couple questions; if you start a private team, does that mean the friend uses materials from your account to make the sympto-matic and the power armor station for example? You didnt really mention what a Sympto-Matic does...is it a curing machine or something? Also, refrigerators arent currently available in the atomic shop, can you buy plans for them at all outside of the raider camp? Thanks for the video, I was able to get a lot of this before seeing it but its still very informative.

[@boeserKadser]

Excavator: there is also a sign at rusty pick to start the quest. Questline takes like 20 minutes to do. Just prepare to have enough screws like 80 or so.

[@kevbgoolsby]

Odd question as a returning player (I've just seen the year old vid on excavator power armor), is the excavator power armor updated to mine less ore?

[@SilvaDreams]

You get more resources from nodes while using it.

[@beastabuelos6421]

I really wish they'd let us plant anything that grows at our camps. We're so limited and some plants are rare, or just a pain to gather. I don't have any use for anything that's plantable, except corn occasionally and i just go to the huge corn farm on the west side of the map for that.

[@YummiWaffle]

The fusion generator can be acquired for free by doing the powering up poseiden public event, it is a random drop but it should drop by 3rd try

[@ModestGamer0]

Another tip is get the level three perk card can do and check trash cans and dumpsters and you will never have to worry about food I’ve found 30+ cans of just dog food in a hour

[@akosgaspar9681]

Pre-war food rarely gives buffs. Food you cook always does.
