[@charliecooper5039]

Something for Jon to be aware of - When using a power armour crafting station to modify your armour, the game treats it as if every piece of armour on the frame is in your inventory, meaning you will likely be over-encumbered while using the crafting station. In survival mode, that means you'll take damage periodically and could lead to broken legs. I know he probably won't be using power armour much considering how bad it is for stealth, but just something I thought might be good to know

[@minerva9104]

He already knows from his survival run, and IIRC in that run he ended up just stripping naked whenever he would work on powerarmor.

[@MG_Steve]

@@minerva9104 Yup, but with not remembering there is Ammo in the guns on corpses, he's already proven is memory is as good as his perception ;)

More accurately there is ammo on the guns on the ground dropped by corpses.

[@MG_Steve]

@@gilgamecha Same thing isn't it, even if the gun is on the ground, its usually still in the enemy's inventory?

[@dathaniel9403]

Don't worry, he definitely knows. Jon talked about that bug(?) at length in his Survival Mode playthrough as Grills Bears. Also, I think he'll probably end up using power armor. Even with the reduction in stealth, it's probably worth the huge increase in damage resistance in the early to mid game. In the late game when he has maxed out ballistic weave and several pieces of legendary armor, he'll probably retire the power armor for the most part.

Reviewing the video and I would like to say that you didn't take a hit, this is probably from my mod applying a tiny fraction of damage, these are done in part of bugs such as health not displaying properly when leveling up (when at full health) and some other stuff. However this damage is only like 0.001, of course this will look like you lost 1 but in reality your heath would have been 129.999.

[@JJ-hl3hh]

@@joshuax8 If he had taken a hit in vats it would have been enough damage that a notification would have been displayed (It will trigger even at 0.01 bit of damage). It was probably when he was hungery and ate. As hunger reduces endurance and endurance effects your health and when you restore endurance (or gain it any way) you can exceed a value called RadHealthMax (basically what your max health is from rads), and my mod checks to see if your current health is above this value and applies a tiny fraction of damage to offset this. if you look at 17:50 you'll notice his health stays on the screen, indicating he has lost health, it does disappear for a moment, but I can only guess it's because of how little it is? Though Honestly I am not 100% certain this is the case as at full health you shouldn't be able to exceed your Radhealthmax (as you have no rads anyway)

[@copperhamster]

Jon, three useful things: 1. When you replace something via crafting, you get the original mod in your inventory *and it has weight*. I saw the sight for the pistol in there. To make them completely disappear you can drop them and scrap them as settlement objects (you don't get any materials). 2. While light build improves sneaking a bit more and gives precious, precious AP, pocketed almost universally generates more 'weight reduction' (in the form of added capacity). 3. Settlement inventory is weird. By which I mean the workbench storage. For purposes of gathering more stuff it caps at 200 items, and it doesn't care what items. After that salvage, crops, and water purifiers will make you nothing, so carefully managing your settlement surplus inventory is vital. For example, those nuka cola need to go in a separate container, since they are not used as crafting materials. Any storage container you *craft* in sanctuary will be mostly safe storage, though people can pick up weapons out of them especially if the settlement is being attacked.

[@thnecromaniac]

he knows about point 2

[@jarradscarborough7915]

yeah, light build and muffled re a bit useless, could add light build to heavier armour in late game when the pieces are 15 weight each, but muffled becomes useless fast because of sneak perks. and settlement inv is shitty, basically have to store everything in red rocket and connect later with provisioners to get your water. i started using a global stash mod that just moves everything from every settlement into itself (manually), then back into local workbenches when you need them, which helps with junk mgmt too (scavengers keep working properly)

[@madmanwithaplan1826]

purified water and food still get generated. I played a challenge run of loot nothing and farmed water like it was going out of style and put all my junk from other settlements into sanctuary but id still come back to about 80-120 water

[@myssledissle]

I always shove my mods into the settlement, didnt know about the auto collection of excess stuff so I will definitley keep that in mind in my playthroughs, and will put the mods into their own jar

I've just realised that rads only lower health if there is no gap between the health and rad meters. That means that when thinking about entering a radiated area the best option would be to go after any areas where it's likely damage can't be avoided anyway, seperating losing rads and losing health into two seperate categories. I mean ideally you don't lose either but this could be a minor factor in planning to save every precious point.

Funnily enough, while coast only applies to the sea/ocean, shore can apply to any large body of water including the sea/ocean. So if you're standing next to the ocean, you can use either coast or shore, but if you're near a lake, you can only use shore.

​@@BRUXXUS Oh yeah, hmm. Maybe its a bug with the game, or the mod he's using? But I'm pretty sure I've anecdotally experienced FO4 doing this myself before - when I'm at full health the pipboy reading will often be one less than max, or the health bar will look not-full. Its the same at 22:28.

Re: The odd 1 HP loss. You were 130HP when you went into Wicked Shipping @53:09 and then 129 as you left @58:56, so my guess is that you suffered a 1HP hit from some Bethesda Physics object, as that may not be detected as a hit by the mod? It was definitely sometime within those time brackets.

[@DesertStarr]

I'm impressed video is barely out 90 mins and you have figured out the mystery.

[@MG_Steve]

Its a shame the mod can't simply disable damage from physics objects, but I guess that would probably have side effects somehow.

[@MG_Steve]

Only way to know for sure would be to review the raw video captures from that time period and see if you could hear the sound effect of taking a hit somewhere. Its a bit hard in the edited version, even if it was captured in the uploaded video, the game audio is quiet, so near impossible to detect.

[@macattackmicmac]

I wonder if it could have been fall damage. I suspect the mod probably just tracks when the value that is the players HP changes, and not the source of the change. My money is on it just being a visual bug caused by levelling up and some rounding due to the finite accuracy of digital numbers.

[@robthompson5560]

The mystery goes back further than that. When he checks his pip boy, at around 22:41 he's already at 119/120.

Yo Jon, big thing to remember, if you loot their guns, you get the ammo from their guns. you can then drop the gun and you still have the extra ammo. this is important if you want to get any ammo for free early game, like how you ignored Simon's gun (at drumlin diner) in episode 1 (likely .308 rounds).

Jon, you can get a permanent +1 str or +1 agi by building a weight bench or acrobatic horse in a settlement then using it. You can even alternate between the two (and more options are available once you get to the vault tec DLC). Additionally, .38 ammo and 5mm ammo is VERY worth carrying. It has amazing trade value because 1 round will ALWAYS sell for 1 bottlecap. Meaning 1000 5mm rounds is worth 1000 caps.

You're absolutely right, but we've all made that mistake. It's a small one though, they have fiber optics, asbestos, and a couple nuclear material. Both Judy and Carla are junk dealers who regularly have these and he has made them available to trade with and has amassed enough caps to buy several.

Ammunition can be produced from scratch with the Ammunition Plant in the power crafting section. SPECIAL stats & various perks are necessary to increase the ammo types. Craft Ammo Plant and terminal and select what type of ammo to build. The higher the gun skill, the more types can be made. Just read the junk/ingredients list off the terminal. Part of the Wasteland Workshop DLC, I think that was the video you did about it. .

I actually got the idiot savant kicking in when I finished the first minuteman quest, and it was indeed op - leveled me up twice in survival!

[@Southernblackstar]

A way to get bonus exp in this game is to do BOTH the hacking minigame AND the lockpick minigame. Do the hacking one first but DON’T open the door. If you do, you lose out on the exp from lockpicking. Then exit out of hacking and then do the lockpick one. This way you get the exp from both of them. This can be long and tedious, especially with the hacking minigame, but can be useful when trying to get exp to level up. It also works great with idiot savant as it can trigger for both minigames for a ton of exp.

[@smikespurowny108]

jon ,you really didn't think through picking up the fatman at the disposal yard, there is a suit of power armor across the road from the disposal yard next to a downed vertabird, you could have picked up that fusion core in the box and used the power armors' added str to take everything at the disposal yard back with you, circut boards paint cans and all

And of note the fridge on the south east? riverbank facing sanctuary is another common hotspot which has spawned deathclaws in for me before. Stay safe out there john and good luck!
