My strategy for acquiring materials boils down to the following: "Will I need it later/Do I need it now?" "Yes" >take it "Probably" >take it "No" >Yes you do, take it

If you have the lone wanderer perk, when your companions carry weight gets full you can dismiss them and send them to the right settlement you then have extra carry weight to carry on scavenging

[@ebonyhound967]

I know this video came out over a year ago, but I heard you mention how difficult it is to get adhesive. I noticed you only grow carrots, but if you go to a cooking station, under utility, you can craft vegetable starch for the cost of mutfruit, corn and tatoes, and each starch breaks down into 5 adhesive. I planted a crap ton of tatoes and corn at any settlement that's actually a farm, and my main food is mutfruit, so I almost never need adhesive. I'm sure a similar strategy would be of benefit to anyone seeking dat sticky stuff.

[@MrChannelman]

I notice you leaving modded weapons and armor behind on dead enemy's, if you have all scrapper perks you can scrap those for very valuable scrap

[@oxhorn]

Thanks, yeah, and that is a great tip. I typically do that when I am really low on resources.

[@JokeeGA5]

Ye, problem with that is that weapons usually add up a lot of weight.

[@MrChannelman]

Yeah but if you have have all strong back perks you can walk around just fine using ap the maps not that large and a settlement is always close enough to walk to assuming your on survival like me if not you can just fast travel. I have had times where I scavenged so much I'll have 4000 weight on me at a time because I leave nothing behind. Btw Oxhorn, love your settlement builds inspired me on many of my settlements.

[@JokeeGA5]

I do that too. But it is worth pointing out that if you dont have scrapper, picking the weapon and armor is not worth it.

[@MrChannelman]

+JokeeGA5 Yea I agree plus a lot of people probably don't have the patience to go around overencumbered. Also another good tip always use plasma or plasma infused weapons it's the best way to farm nuclear material.

[@dragonlfwgaming6008]

You know you are a horder when you leave a dungeon with a companion, both in power armor and you are BOTH over encumbered!

[@alpacawithouthat987]

I play with a mod where I can have all companions at once. Even with Piper, Cogsworth, and Dogmeat I still get over encumbered lol

[@dakelong6047]

I actually somehow was able to get Dogmeat and Piper to come along with me I was not able to recreate this glitch but the best part about it was dog meat was my first companion and I had the lone Wanderer perk that wasn't negated by Piper she too was in power armor severely over encumbered like she was caring about 5000 lb worth of stuff no exaggeration I was about the same both wearing power armor and Dogmeat carrying my 120 something teddy bears and whatever adhesive I couldn't carry you only bad part about all this I only had the third rank of strong back and I had to walk from Sanctuary all the way to the castle because I didn't have local leader perk yet and I had no ability to level up yet

[@nana4life1000]

You can also command your companion to carry over their limit by telling them to pick up items!! It'll work for everything from junk to weapons in cabinets! :D

[@V21028]

My recipe: Strength (10) + Bobblehead (1) + Army fatigues (1) = 12 "Solar Powered" perk *1 gives + 2 strength from 6.00am to 6.00pm. As you said, "Strong Back" perk at *5. Traveling without companion turns on "Lone Wanderer" perk *2, that gives + 100 carry weight. Of course, lot's of carry weight uses your action points, so I use "Action boy/girl" perk *3 and for reducing use of action point "Moving target" perk *3. So, my carry capacity without power armor is 470 (when "Solar Powered" perk turns on, then 490). One thing about companions - if you give items to them, they can take until some limit. But... if you drop item, and ask to pick up it, then they can carry anything.

[@thebastard890]

....holy shit dude....holy shit.....

[@berjhsu]

Additional tip: don't just drop items anywhere if you don't have the perk that highlights tagged items or a mod that does it. I find that it's much easier to offload everything you want the companion to carry into some random container and tell them to keep checking it til its empty. Very useful if you want to hoard weapons and armor as well as regular junk

[@juniorvenegas4787]

yo same but I don't have solar powered and my carry weight is at 450. With my X-01 power armor, it raises it to 510. All this if I don't have a companion because they become useless and waste my stimpacks. (I play on survival btw)

A sentry bot companion can carry a lot more than Strong or Danse

[@kratos996149]

yes but they are massive and very often they got stuck in small rooms

[@arkadyrex5305]

BuBelzelù&SatanicArts Canedio Records. Perhaps, but you could always just walk back to it and unload materials. Or also a fully upgraded Protectron with Sentry bot arms can also carry more than Strong or Danse and they usually don't get stuck.

[@kratos996149]

***** yes but you need a dlc for it he made this tutorial without them soo everyone can do it

[@kratos996149]

***** and the protectron are very slow

[@arkadyrex5305]

BuBelzelù&SatanicArts Canedio Records. I'm sure a protectron can keep up with you in a building. Also you don't have to deal with the affinity gage that non-automatron companions have.

[@TheOriginalJphyper]

Grognak's costume can be used with arm and leg armor, though it can't be used with underclothing, so it works out about the same. If you're like me and don't have enough pieces of Fortifying armor, you can design a suit of Power Armor to maximize strength and carry weight. Torsos have a feature you can add to increase Strength, each leg can be modified to increase carry weight, and you can give it all the Military or B.O.S. II paint job for even more strength.

pick up rifles, even pipe rifles. they scrap and give copper with scrapper perks. copper was a pain in the ass until I realized that the trashcan rifles had it.

[@oaksparoakspar3144]

and the cruddy little short hunting rifles and double barrels will give you wood. Most of the raider dungeons where you find this dreck also have plenty of weapon benches around as well, so you can scrap them mid-raid, greatly reducing your carry weight. Armor, however, is normally only worth one Leather or Steel unless augmented, but leaded armor is very common (keeps rad weapons from being overpowered in human dungeons, so the game spawns it at a high rate). Scrapping most leaded armor with the Scrapper Perk is worth 4 Lead each - making it worth while for those seeking to craft their own ammo.

His CC is only 150, plus the 100 added by Lone Wanderer. Strongs is 270. Best thing to do is bring Strong, fill him, then send him away and get that extra 100 from the perk.

So what I did. Maxed out the strong back perk. Cleared out Gunner's Plaza. Took all the weapons/armor/scrap. Sold the weapons and armor to buy items from traders/evenly buy scrap and sell enough items to cost 0 caps. Made it rain nuclear material.

There needs to be a mod to allow you to send settlers to get resources. Or being able to clear forests/ towns for building materials.

[@oxhorn]

If you assign settlers to scavenging stations, they will generate resources for you. They can generate an unlimited number of resources each day, but your workbench is capped at holding 200 scarp items before settlers stop collecting.

[@3.6roentgen61]

***** I know but I think it would be cool to send settlers to empty towns and forests and come back with loads of stuff on brahmins or something. That would be a lot cooler then having them just sit at a workbench.

[@MrAllekzander]

Just as a time/space saver, it would be neat if you could send a few settlers to gather all the remaining junk items from a location with the [CLEARED] status.

[@3.6roentgen61]

Turbo Flea Yes. Or have settlement locations that are designed to be scrapped. It would be cool to clear out a junkyard and use the components to build things in your other settlements.

if you don't have strong back and don't feel like making a few trips, you can put everything you don't wanna carry in a container or a body then ask your companion to search the container/corpse until its empty. you can do this perpetually, as it ignored their carrying capacity

[@MolnarG007]

Weight management, my TOP 10 thoughts, method: 1. Don't carry too many weapons, bring only a few with ammo. Also limit drugs, aid items, grenades, EVERYTHING. 2. With supply routes you can drop off crafting materials (junk, mods, cooking mats) at the closest settlement. Always attach new settlements via supply route, from an already excisting one. (then you can build recruitment beacon, beds, defense, plant, etc.) When at new area try to unlock closest settlement first. You can have your settler to become a provisioner FROM the new settlement and count toward that limit if you want, just a. MOVE him/her there. b. before they walk aways immediately assign him/her as a provisioner. 3. Have your unlocked companions/extra idle settlers at the nearest settlement, see point 8. 4. Your base CarryWeight is 200 (75 in survival), +10/STR. So every STR gives +10 per. 5. Armor pieces can be pocketed (+5 per, chest+10 with all pocketed +30), even deep pocketed (+10 per, chest piece +20 up to +60 with chest/2x arms/2x legs). Some legendary armor and clothes can give STR. Human companion can wear these modded armors and clothes too! Some robot companions can have parts giving extra carry weight. By the way different companions have different base carry weight, see Fallout wiki for exact number (STR 5-24: 250-440, 125-315 in survival) In power armor your armor and clothes modifiers are ALL DISABLED, including pocketed, ability modifiers, etc. until you exit the armor. Only the power armor mods counts (STR paint, calibrated leg piece +50per, etc.), and it's frame also gives +4STR (+40 carry) Again human companions can wear power armor as well, and don't drain Fusion Core. 6. Stong back (STR6) perk gives +25, 2nd gives another +25 (NOT 50) (3rd allows you to sprint overencumbered short distances, i never use it especially not in power amor),4th permits fast travel when overencumbered/in survial difficulty instead eliminates damage from overencumbrance. 7. Lone wanderer (CHR3) gives +50 carry capacity, 2nd gives another +50 (helpful with companion! see point 8) 8. When I raid a bigger location I drop off everything in a container (which isn't a body that can disappear) near the entrance. Then clear it out from enemies. Then loot filling me and companion, return to container to drop off. Repeat until finished, so all loot are in one container. Then decide what is the most valuable to you, fill up companion with it, and with full inventory send him/her back to your closest settlement. Now alone Lone wanderer kicks in (+100), fill up your inventory and return to your closest settlement. You can use foods/drugs giving carry weight/STR now ready to return, drug duration can be extended with chemist perk. Only if destination is close enough before it runs out!!!! I don't recommend using exploit to make fulled companion to get an item afterwards, simply because it takes 10-15 seconds for him/het to get there, then take it up. Then another 3-10 seconds per ITEM. This takes agonizingly long minutes to do, and needs to be repeated many many many times. Again and again and again. It's literally faster to run back to your closest settlement and return, which is around 5 minutes or less. When arrived at the closest settlement drop off junks and cooking mats, mods. If you got anything else for later (guns, armors, drugs, cooked food, ammo, etc.) store it here to have it closer, available OR give those to one of your idle companion and send him/her with it to your main settlement. Also things you don't need and planning to sell can be sent by your idle companions too (rad. foods, useless armors, clothes and basic weapons), and anything you can't scrap/cook/mix/etc at this location. Of course normal settlers can be used too, with MOVE command. This way you don't need all crafting stations at all settlements either. When moving large inventory between settlements anytime you can use your companion send him full there, then with lone wanderer follow, or even use multiple idle companions, send them all with full inventory to the next location. If needed return to the raid location with companion for a 2nd or even for a 3rd trip, if not distracted few minutes is enough for such trips, seconds if using fast travel. Bringing those extra low value armors, weapons, radiated foods can easliy double your money later, gives extra armor and weapon for settlers, and give basic materials that can be used to build/mod even for settlers getting extra xp (even basic common things like steel, wood and leather) 9. On the road when you can always scrap things you don't want to keep and worthless, and cook, this saves weight (cook: for example 3 cockroach meat gives one roasted) 10. If you are a pack rat, want to maximize how much you can loot double check how much armor you need, sometimes a slightly worst armor mod saves suprisingly lot weight. Also putting everything on a gun is cool, but beware it's weight not only affects your carry limit, but also the speed you can use it in VATS, a slightly lighter weapon shoots more, having a super light weapon with cheap ammo can build crits up fast by shooting insane amount (10-15x with light pistol). So a lighter weapon will cause less damage but will shoot faster. (By the way damage resistance means if the armor matches or exceeds weapon dmg. it halves it, but any additional armor will only slightly lower it afterwards. Even with 900 rad resist you take minimal rad damage. So a little worst amor isn't huge issue, also shooting armored opponents with lighter, auto things will still hurt him, and you might shoot way more bullet into him) 10. If you know where a provisioner is heading (all goes to one location, or got different hats, or have been renamed like robots #7 Graygarden-Sanctuary ) if you run into one on the road you can drop off anything to him/her. Later at their originating settlement use bell to call, wait/sleep 1h and empty them. (same bell can be used to cancel provisioner, when he appears just give him any other task (guard/scavenge/farming etc.). By the way these immortal provisioners act as patrol, and gives you xp while at it. So give them 1 molotov cocktail, 1 decent (even auto) common modded gun with 1 ammo, and some decent common armor. Even Power armor. +1 Overencumbered carry ALL back at once build without crawl speed (thousands and thousands at once) Ideal build: Strong back 5(Far Harbour DLC and lvl40 needed, Strong back 3 (lvl20) without DLC): now you can sprint while overencumbered, draining your AP. (Strong back 5 halves the AP cost of sprinting.) With Agility 10 you can have lot of max AP to increase Overencumbered sprint distances. (and lot of VATS points giving more attacks) with high Endurance the AP drain for sprinting is lowered, every point counts. (sprinting costs 12AP per second, this lowered, 6.6 AP per second with endurance 10). Also high endunrace gives more hp. Action Boy 1-2-3(Far Harbour DLC) makes your AP refill faster (25,50,75%, lvl0,18,38) even while draining so slower drain: longer sprints, more often. (also VATS can be used more often) Finally Moving Target 3 (lvl44) futher halves the AP cost of those sprints, significally slowering drain (and giving +50 damage and energy resistance while taking stuff back or when you flee from enemy any time) Also there are 4-5 armor/hat that increase your movement speed by 10%, suprisingly effective while overencumbered. (and also faster movement all the time) . Sprinting in first person mode is the fastest. And many armor/clothes that increases your Agility (max AP), or your Endurance (less AP drain when sprinting) With this build you can even use food like cooked mole rat chunks, cooked softshell meat, roasted mirelurk meat, deathclaw steak, nuka cola variants, mirelurk omlett, wines, etc. etc. to increase max AP/AP regen. Also you can use drugs to increase max AP/Agility/AP regen, their duration can be increased, even tripled with chemistry perk. Foods/drinks giving endurance also help. Some perks increase max AP too. You can't use power armor while using this overencumbered sprint method to carry, since sprinting drain their power cores in seconds. (cheat: console command "player.modav carryweight 20000" also works.) my TOP where junks at tips: - if you bring back cheap common weapons, armors, low value junks, everything it gives you extra material and extra valuable to sell. Some can only be scrapped by dropping on the ground. - you can sell anything not needed including radiated food, unused ammo like 38 (more found with scrounger perk), clothes, gold, silver, etc. etc. - traders are super source for junks even early, while the weightless shipments are costly BUT regular junks aren't! Which still have excellent, useful components. Some uncommon and rare junks only cost as low as 10-15 caps! - to sell for way more and buy way cheaper Cap collector rank 1-2 are super good, highly recommend it. - even if you have huge base charisma temporarly raising it will still give you better prices. So wear CHA giving clothes, eyewear, hat (not huge weight, always carry). Also Grape mentats give HUGE bonus (10% better and further +5 CHA) -scavenging tables give you 2 random items daily per assigned settler, so put the idle settlers to use and work. They will stop collecting similar to food and water when reaches limit, so empty settlement inventory where are scavenging stations (and farms and water purifiers) regularly. Also can't cheat by sleeping/waiting for it, just normally play.

[@lacerda6804]

I also build massive tactical settlements, I basically have a shit-ton of carry weight and get whatever I'll need to build. (Tip : Before building, actually plan on how and what will you need, I know it takes a lot of time but it is worth it).

When I was encumbered at low level I found a good method to get scrap is to store it all in the nearest container to where you land at fast travel and store what's too heavy for you to carry in there. Makes going back and forth a little easier.

[@lightsora34]

An interesting thing that I noticed while traveling, while a companion has a maximum carry weight, it is possible to bypass that restriction. I was with Piper when I first noticed it, but recreated the situation with ADA later on. If a companion is carrying their maximum weight, drop the junk from your inventory that you want them to carry. Then tell them to pick up each individual thing. It may be time consuming, but it makes dungeon crawling for resources significantly more affordable for lower level characters.

[@MrBroccles]

[@reptiles3244]

I just loot under the castle and boom set for life

[@squidlytv]

The Castle is good once you get to it. However, if you have a charisma character, ( if you are focused on settlements then charisma is important) then early game concrete was surprisingly simple for me to build up. On the first interaction with Trashcan Carla, use sarcastic and flirt with her. This will give a permanent discount. Then pick up Cap Collector 1. Do the local quests and because you are charisma always ask for more caps. Get the Sanctuary Gold Bars and always pick up and sell Pre-War Money. Then you should easily be able to pick up the 200 concrete shipments from Carla.

[@rosm101]

I found in my recent play through that you can overload your companion by telling them to pick stuff up and pick any interesting things up. They'll pick up stuff way past their carrying capacity. This was playing on the Xbox 1, and has been very helpful since I started a new playthrough on Survival

[@TheStuffyGuy]

I do the exact same thing and it totally works except I also pick up weapons and armor and scrap them (I have the highest scrapper perk) and it gives me a bunch of extra supplies, including lead. A lot of the more valuable and rare junk can be found in weapon and armor mods when scrapping

[@JokeeGA5]

Well, once you have a setup that generates money for you, you can just go to town and buy all the shipments you want.

[@Areanyusernamesleft]

Since Automatron, I always take Ada along with me on "supply runs", as I've found a design that allows her to carry 440 lbs while still having very strong combat ability. If anyone is interested I keep her assaultron body and protectron legs; replaced the her head with the assaultron laser one (with the heavy factory armor), her right arm with a gatling laser equiped sentry arm, her left arm with a robobrain arm equipped with the robobrian claw that launches poison bombs (as poison damage, like bleed, has no damage reduction stat). The torso and mid-section on the legs have the cargo armor, and all the limbs have voltaic armor (note: I know it's not the absolute best but I like it because it keeps her recognizable and rather unique). If I'm feeling lazy, most of the time all I have to do is point her at most enemies and she can handle them by herself, then I can direct her to loot the corpses. :)

Best way to get adhesive is have crops of tatos, corn and mutfruit. 3 of each makes vegetable starch which is 5 adhesive. plant those crops early on, plant the harvest from them and by the time you are halfway through the game you'll have enough crops to make sure you're never be out of adhesive

[@michaeldykstra4091]

could you do this by top 5 best dungeons to loot?

[@Zolfried]

i usually designate a container near the entrance where i dump all enemy weapons and armor into.. it takes a few backtrips to unload the loot, but when youre done with everything, just reenter the dungeon and empty that container, and use fasttravel back to armor and weapon workbench and start scrapping all the stuffs... alot of dungeons also have workbenches you can use so you can save a trip every now and then back to the designated container.

Can't tell ya the last time I gave caps for shipments. I farm the crap outta water.

Never spend a dime. Also melon farming for Lucy Abernathy. Give her 1000 melons and you can potentially get 5000 caps. buying junk is just more convenient once you start farming.

All you need to do is make sure both you and your companion aren't carrying any junk, do the dungeon, afterwards make sure all the loot is in YOUR inventory, then go ahead and open up the Pip-Boy. Select inventory, go to the Junk tab, and then select "Component View". This gives you the same list minus all the other things that pop up in your Conveyor Storage (like folders and such). I'm actually making a list myself as to where you can find certain components, and Concrete can be found in large quantities (80 to be exact) at the following location: - Irish Pride Industries Shipyard Hope this helps your viewers! Keep up the good work!

[@DamienDarksideBlog]

I think he brought out the mod just to show us all the individual components he got from a single sweep of the Gunner Plaza. We could definitely have done the pipboy thing but I guess we all like seeing the physical components.

[@MechDutch]

Makes sense...lol

[@nloyt7699]

Thanks Ox, I was really struggling with supplies for building Vault 88

[@gaara98250]

I find a storage bin of some sort near the entrance of where you are looting and put everything I can loot in it, 500lbs+ most locations, drop everything in the bin when you are about over encumbered, then keep looting, when done, go to that bin and take all, then you'll only be slow till you are outside, then fast travel with the strong back perk, thats my fav method.

[@stefanstoyanov7460]

I can't belive someone still calling you cheater. I mean, after a year of gameplay people should have know how to aquire scrap materials. The only two materials I'm always lacking is steel( surprising, isn't it? ) and fiber optics. But that is because I almost always build concrete buildings, I prefer them and they soak a lot of steel. The optics? Well almost every late weapon and armor mod requires an assload of it.

[@connorstanley777]

Best way to collect steel is to pick up and scrap assault rifles and combat rifles.

[@stefanstoyanov7460]

Oh, belive me, I'm doing this a lot! This is the way I'm obtaining my needed fiber optics as well.

As another follower of the "No Loot Left Behind" method to scavenging, this is beautiful to see. Also, I should probably download the DLCs for those conveyor belts.

[@Tristan-zg6dg]

What map mod do you use?

[@infinite5377]

Käffe Check his massive mod list, I plan to use most of his mods.

[@MurcuryEntertainment]

I noticed a great many of your settlements are pretty tidy? Do you use spring cleaning or scrappable commonwealth? Or do you use something else?

[@oxhorn]

No I don't use spring cleaning, I just scrap what I can in the vanilla game.

[@DovahKanye]

Sometimes locations have workbenches, which is great, because I always take the weapons with me, sometimes to outfit settlers and sometimes for scrapping purposes, particularly upgraded weapons.

[@jessehernandez841]

I'm new to this game so this is very helpful along with other KZbin videos

[@HadleyHadlen78]

Shoot, I make large settlements like that I use ZERO mods (mostly cause I'm an achievement junkie and they cancel them). The right perks, dumping stuff off in a container near the dungeon exit. And some Radstag meat and its easy. Buy what you need from caravaners and your general store as well.

[@leemo142]

Hadley Hadlen there's a mod that re enables achievements if you are like me and just want some immersion or visual mods or additional content like more buildable things for fancy settlements

[@sodam_sicman5565]

that wouldn't last me very long. I glitched (on my mess around character) 25k wood screws gears and what not and like 30k steel and I'm already out of most resources. Thanks Atomatron. lol

[@blakecarroll7066]

Same lol

[@DamienDarksideBlog]

Screws can be taken from a lot of the more "automatic" weapons. Submachine Guns from the Triggermen are loaded with screws, wood and steel if you have scrapper. Assault Rifles give buckets of screws too.

[@_slashes]

THATS BRILLIANT! GIVING YOUR COMPANION YOUR JUNK! I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT

[@austin_bennett]

A great alternative to having a companion, if you don' t mind immersive mods, is the backpack mod for your character & the best part is the backpacks will appear in traders inventory so you could buy & upgrade backpacks for your companions as well.

[@jasonburge]

I said screw doing it the vanilla way and just did modav carry weight 50,000. Now I dont go drop all my junk off nearly as much and just grab anything I want. So much better for my preference.

[@Raivan31]

Exactly! People may say you have cheated but i see it more as a role play aid so that you needn't spend 10 real world hours engaged in a laborious task that feels like work.... We have real life for that.

[@leemo142]

Jason Burge I mean we can already hold infinite bullets and meds, 27 fatmans, a full Arsenal and full body armour, once it gets that kind of crazy in the base game it doesn't really matter if we increase our carry weight through shady methods haha

Heavily modified energy weapons are very useful to gather, if you have a the first two (Or better, all three) of the scrapper perk. Nuclear material, fiber optics, crystal, and any number of other harder to acquire materials.

[@Rafael_Gomes]

*Or*... You can use the glitchy game Bethesda always makes and duplicate every resource. I'm comfortably sitting on 100k of everything, plus more 500 to 700k of the materials I use the most (PS4 btw). I'm level 292, got 2 million caps and I've only recently finished the game (DLCs included). It's not cheating if it's a flaw in the game. Besides, it's a single-player game, who gives a damn?

[@phoenixprivate2977]

Maria Yuri you can! Use the scavenging station, it’ll make settlers automatically put two random junk things into your workshop

[@thekindlyreaper-1381]

I watched this video to find out how to get more, ended up being told exactly what I already do. Good to know I'm doing it right. (Your amazing thank you)

[@umanoid1523]

Nice tips. I scrounge a lot and never considering a fortifying armor...I sort of use my regular stealth armor. I might just build a special looting armor for this. My character is now at 120. I use lots of AIDS like bufftats and psychobuff along with grilled ragstag.I also have tricked out my drug taking ability which extends my carry time. I build a pack mule robot that's specifically built with max carry weight in mind as well as major offense capabilities. When I'm not looting and feeling lazy I travel and buy shipments. I also often loot weapons and armor BUT whenever possible (usually possible) I break them down at armor and weapons work benches in the dungeon which reduces the weight but gives me the components

[@brennenderopa]

Companion with deep pocketed stuff can carry a lot. Also dlc robots have unreal carry capacity.

[@darehart1]

You can loot all the armor and weapons then scrap them at the various work benches that are in the dungeon. That way you can break down a 5lbs armor into a .1lbs metal. With scrapper perk the guns give tons of stuff.

[@Hefty_Chonkster]

I know I'm like 7 years late, but for concrete/cement, Irish Pride Industries Shipyard, near Bunker Hill, has a bunch of bags in it. They regenerate, along with the Mirelurks within. They are on the shelf in the big open room and by the door to the outside in same said room.

[@renammartinez]

Ada/Automatrons can also be good pack mules. If you're into modding, you can use Portable Junk Recycler to break down heavier items into lighter ones on the go (not all items are worth breaking, e.g. most of bone items, as they break into heavier stuff, so play it wisely).

[@GremlinZ420]

I use Army fatigues for 1 extra strength and a full suit of leather armor, as it is ridiculously light. Either deep pocketed or fortifying, depending on level. Then use Lone Wanderer, get over and give Strong everything possible. Then send him to a settlement and get that extra carry weight to finish the crawl.

[@pastasam4069]

There's a nice mod on the Nexus, I believe it's called Salvage Beacons. It allows you to craft items that you can place in containers, and if you have a station at your settlement and a settle assigned to it, that settler will walk to that location, take all of the items out of it (that aren't red, so only items owned by you) and take it back to the settlement you specify. It's really nice.

[@MurcuryEntertainment]

A good place for concrete is actually coastal cottage, there's a small construction site just north along the road that has 6-7 bags of cement. Not tonnes but great if you're in a bind.

[@sacrosanct23]

For even more scrap, loot the bodies and field scrap the armour and weapons. Gunners Plaza has benches in the subbasement. Corvega and Combat zone do too. Another great place is the Public Library. Just haul each room's scrap to a file cabinet near the door and then haul it back in shifts to Hangman's Alley. If you're good at stealth and kiting aggro you can clear the building with no perks at all. Excellent place for an early scrap mission in survival mode.

[@coykoiboi]

This gives new meaning to "cleaning up the Commonwealth".

[@juliac.4200]

great tips all around, but just to add to it: it's a really good idea to mod all your armor pieces to be deep pocketed! along with everything else it gives me a carry weight of about 410. :)

[@oxhorn]

Great tip! I had that in my math overlays at the bottom, helped reach over 600 :)

[@sciencetopia2578]

Not sure if the game has changed since two years ago, but one of the best ways to get scrap now is to trade those weapons and armor you left behind for lots of cheap useful junk that they sell at general stores and bunker hill, diamond city, etc. I haven’t spent a single cap at a store but I usually buy them out of non shipment items

[@ddogwaster8285]

If you have the eye bot pod for the Automotron DLC, you can scan for resources and it's super helpful. I do it all the time for adhesive. I get about 4-10 things of adhesive per run.

[@ironfistdragon]

if you got automation, and wasteland workshop, as well as beastmaster mod, you can bring a brahmin with saddlebags, and an actuated protectron with you at the same time. that's 400+400+player carry weight.

[@dingdong6028]

Thank you so much for this. It really helped!!

[@sicklilttlebunny]

I do this, so glad someone else does too.

[@DeathxStrike18]

iv explored every location you can access in the game picking up everything and oxhorn is right you get tons of stuff also make sure you get max scrapper and scrap the object your self it doubles your stash when scrapping as it has a chance of giving you more

[@lonestar_iconoclast]

Hey, Oxhorn, have you ever tried out the mod Portable Junk Recycler? I use that in my playthrough and it helps a lot with getting all the major components I need for settlement construction. The Corvega Assembly Plant is a pretty good place for Aluminum but I prefer raiding The Mahkra Fish Packing Plant. All those trays are excellent sources for that metal. Longneck Lukowski's is also a good space for Aluminum, if you scour the basement and some of the underground tunnels. For fertilizer, visiting Greygarden. Of course, you could always build a barn and a few feeding troughs; the cows that get drawn to that will fill your settlement with plenty of fertilizer. Glass can be easily farmed from the Gwennitt Brewery. There's plenty of empty bottles that you could loot for glass. Outside of the Brewery, you could hit that pub in Downtown Boston. Or farm all the Nuka-Cola and VIm Cola vendors. Concrete is a scarcer yet cheap resource to acquire and I often find plenty of concrete bags near military installations and checkpoints. Not so much at the South Boston Military Checkpoint but the unmarked ones are good for stuff like that. And, now I gotta see about adding Fortifying to all my armor peices…

[@StarkeRealm]

There's a "decent" stash of concrete just north west of Somerville Place at an unmarked military bunker. There's six or seven unguarded concrete sacks (so, around 30-35 concrete), and it's set on a fast respawn. The first time you come through, there should be a sentry bot in a cage, which will be released when you enter the bunker itself. But the concrete is just left lying around. I also think there's a couple sacks at the train station just east of the Drive-In Theater. Though, you will need to deal with ghouls everytime the location respawns. Beyond that, Concrete is kind of annoying to obtain, but it is cheap to buy.

[@youknowthosedudes2583]

It's also possible to have your companion carry near unlimited weight. When you trade with them and it says that they have reached their maximum carry weight limit. Simply order them to pick up the junk you want, and they'll still grab it. This works for me on PS4 and I have never used mods outside of the creation club.

[@dpraptorP]

I found a good amount of cement during the mission at Park plaza station around the construction site grounds.

[@thomaslange6972]

This is so helpful. Thank you

[@rojoshow13]

If you're early in the game, like me(lvl 14), and don't have access to other companions besides Dogmeat and Codsworth its also worth noting that you can take the Lone Wanderer perk to increase carry weight and increase damage resistance and Dogmeat doesn't count as a companion so you can still take him with you and get the bonus. And he can carry a lot more than you think. I've never counted and it might depend on your strength but its easily 100+ lbs maybe closer to 200. I only have 5 strength and I can carry 330lbs with rank 1 of Lone Wanderer and pocketed armor. After loading Dogmeat up I can usually loot several locations before returning home.

[@DamienDarksideBlog]

I load up Dogmeat as well with LW. Having LW as well as Strong Back makes you take pretty much everything out of several locations.

[@SaiceShoop]

yeah Dogmeat/LW is a really strong combo for looting early game.

[@DamienDarksideBlog]

Looting the entire game. You can load up Dogmeat with over 100 pounds of equipment, you get an additional 100 pounds as well. The amount of junk you can add up with 200 extra pounds for building is absolutely amazing!

[@mrfried]

Oxhorn, late here but going to add, you said about not collecting weapons as they don't give settlement build materials, however I've found that the best weapons to grab are certain variants of pipe weapons, especially the rifles as if you have maxed the scrapper perk you get lots of copper from scrapping pipe rifles and some other variants.

[@lackedpuppet9022]

I love Manufacturing Extended, it's my favorite mod.

[@copper_hamster]

Useful trick for a lot of dungeons, they'll have armor and weapon and even Power armor stations you can use to scrap items as you go through the dungeon. I played through on survival before it became true survival (gonna have to play again I think), and I still had tons of cash from selling ammo I didn't need and meds and such. Who needs 300 buffout anyway?

[@maximthemagnificent]

Kidnapped settlers are a great opportunity to grab resources as you can load them up once you free them. I grabbed a bunch of weapons and armor for my settlements at Gunner Plaza this way.

[@Nostagia]

You can also construct a water purifier factory in a settlement with alot of water. You can trade the water for shipments of resources with Carla.

[@disciple1381]

Making water purifiers and farming water works for caps to buy lots as well so many ways to do it.

[@AuntSteve]

I know it's an old video, but I still felt I'd contribute. I used the Robot Workbench to upgrade Ada and she's now able to carry almost 400 lbs. Wonderful for trying to clean out places like in the video. I also added other upgrades so she's basically a killing machine. Makes supply runs much simpler and safer.
