[@therealsulaco]

A quick and simple trick I use when I want to set up supply lines between two settlements when neither one has any settlers. Go to a settlement with a surplus population, use the MOVE command to reassign a settler to one of the two empty settlements you want to connect then immediately use the SUPPLY LINE command on them before they head out. Saves having to go to the settlement and assign them from there.

[@nonayurbusiness6544]

A small thing you forgot to mention, is that once the supply line is setup, you can use any junk, food, or chems to craft with at a settlement on the line. For instance if you have jet in sanctuary, and psycho in hangman's alley, connected with a supply line, you can craft psycho jet in any settlement also attached to the supply line.

[@oxhorn]

That's true--all objects that can be manipulated in workbenches are shared at all connected settlements.

[@IncriminatedAntelope]

[@SmackDadyy13]

That was like the first thing he mentioned 😂😂😂

[@kanadetachibana4130]

[@ValiLoco187]

somebody knows if their is a mod for reskinning and naming settlers?

[@oxhorn]

Yes, you can rename settlers with the mod "Don't Call Me Settler" (Google it)

[@d3al3rplays68]

Actually this mod has a )big) list of name of which it names your settlers. As far as i know (have it installed) you can not name them yourselve. www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11306/?

[@ValiLoco187]

***** do you use an other mod that gives more variety to the settlers?because in your graygarden revisited i saw a female with like a blond mohawk haircut,the settlers i get mostly look all the same(3different hairs in 3different colours) but thanks for the other tip,im on ps4 so i hope it will come there too, just wanted to know if it was able to do a mod which makes this :)

[@kanadetachibana4130]

ValiLoco187 There is a synth factory mod that lets you have settlers that look like any NPC in the game, oxhorn did a video on the mod.

[@TheBHAitken]

You missed a very important feature of the supply lines. When you send a provisioner from point A to point B, the game plots out a route that the provisioner takes to get there. This settler then walks that route with whatever equipment you gave him. Now this is mostly inconsequential if the provisioner is outside of your cell at the time, but the game does keep track of the movement and when the provisioner is within a cell that is active, namely the one that you are in, he/she will react accordingly to whatever occurs. Now I encountered this during a settlement quest where the settler who was assigned the quest was actually one of the provisioners. I had to track the provisioner across the map and talk to them for a kidnapping, and then find them again once the quest was concluded. That is when I found out that these settlers do actually travel across the map. Now the fun part about this is that you can actually use this to your advantage. By armorizing and weaponizing your provisioners and placing supply lines through high conflict areas, you actually increase your odds of having at least one armed trooper going through the same area as you. While the provisioner won't exactly defend you per se, because the provisioner shares the same alliances as you they will defend themselves from the same people, providing another front against your enemies as you fight. Now for most players this will not be apparent unless you are in survival mode because, quite frankly we're all lazy and like fast travel. But if you are curious, place some supply routes down and then follow the provisioners to see what routes they take. Keep in mind that while the map shows a direct line from point A to point B, the provisioner will take the most accessible route in order to get there. For example, with one of my supply lines from being from Oberland Station north to Greygarden, because the bridge north was blocked by a train car my provisioner traveled south towards Vault 81, then crossed west across the river, then traveled north alongside Weston Water Treatment (encountering supermutants) before eventually ending at Greygarden. Try it and see! Use this to your advantage. The possibilities are quite interesting. I personally have use this against the area of Andrew Station west of The Castle. As you know that area is a constant gauntlet when going through on foot, but by sending a few armored & armed assultrons (I use lasers instead of claws on them) through there, I keep that area thinned out considerably. Try it and see. Let me know what you find. Drinking Apple Crown Royal here in Canada, I say don't hate Windows 10, It's not Windows fault it was designed by Microsoft.

[@TheBHAitken]

And, as a bonus, any provisioner and or settler that makes a kill earns you experience points, so it pays to equip your provisioners properly.

[@TheLadWithAHat]

This, unfortunately, is useless when using human provisioners. I don't see why they don't adjust to your level. Having lvl 1 guards everywhere is so pointless:/

[@TheBHAitken]

Well, their gun mechanics would stay the same as anyone else, you can armor them to whatever level (sturdy & heavy armor) and they don't actually die. Give them a reasonably advanced weapon instead of a pipe pistol and you have a terror on the roads. A settler with a minigun is still a highly dangerous foe. Besides, a leveled up character includes a number of variables, their HP being only one aspect.

[@TheLadWithAHat]

Bruce Aitken Right, but a settler with a minigun and full combat armor still goes down in a few hits, especially in higher difficulties. I would just like to see them get a significant increase in survivability when they're given top class gear. HP being only one aspect may be right, but as of now it is the most important one for provisioners. It doesn't matter how much damage they can do if they can't survive to deal it.

[@TheBHAitken]

No more than any other character in the commonwealth out there, what did you expect? You are supposed to be the hero in the story, not the settlers or even your companions. Even with automatrons against multiple foes the odds quickly add up. The point is they will add another source of firepower to the situations you encounter out in the wasteland and where and how they add to the situation is reflected in their routes and equipment. Instead of using a pompous Trump-like management attitude of declaring that anyone/anything but yourself is useless, I'm offering additional strategies that you could use to your advantage.

I had to do this for a few minor projects. But it was because of a low charisma character

[@shhfiftyfive]

my sanctuary supply line looked like yours the 1st time (central hub/web to all). but it made 2 huge problems. 1. it meant i had a ton of brahmin running in/out of sanctuary at all times. 2. it meant that my sanctuary had very few settlers left to be assigned to other taskes such as ood. the best way to do supply lines is to make a linear route (sanctuary can be the middle so fork off 2 ways). when you get to a new settlement you can either build a radio and wait for a settler to command them to connect to the previous settlement, or you can go to the previous settlement and command one from there to the new settlement. this means each settlement is only losing 1 population to this task. then, to make them easy to distinguish in the wasteland as one of mine from the rest of the rabble out there, i gave them an outfit and a mining helmet with a nice flash light. :)

[@Padre_416]

Using wires and conduits was quite literally the best explanation you could have given. Made me completely understand the basics in the first minute of the video!

[@joshuacook5377]

I'll have to look back, but I don't think you need any more than 1 supply line going out of each settlement. Connect them all by the shortest route possible, and you should be able to build with supplies that follow the grid. Like your analogy of electricity, you only need 1 wire, not 50 of them.

[@LoneWolf8003]

This was absolutely helpful because I had no idea what the supply lines actually did, at all. I had zero expectation. I just saw that I could draw lines and so I started making lines.

[@mightylink65]

A neat trick I found if you want to remove or change a supply line just ring the bell in that settlement and wait 1 hour, the supplier will show up at the border walking away, quickly run up to them to assign them to something else.

Need Charisma 6,learn Local leader perk Now any settler can be commanded to become a provisioner from there to target settlement. He she will maintain that supply line. No item is transported. But the resource is shared. So the other connected settlement's inventory wont magically have items, but when you build a bed, cook, mod a weapon, plant a mutrfuit, etc. then the resource materials are available. If you got 100 steel in 10 settlement connected if you build a steel house/wall you have access to 1000 steel. But if you want to sell the steel only 100 is there in the inventory. The other 900 is elsewhere, available only as resource here. 2nd example : weapon modding. No weapon will magically appear elsewhere, if you got a shotgun at Sanctuary its only there. But if you use a weapon workbench to mod a weapon in your hands then adhesive, screw, steel, all resources are available from the whole network. The finished modded weapon will be still in your hands. The raw ingredients, resources shared for use. If you are hungry you can't magically pull out food that is not stored there. But you can cook, then cooking resources are available, you can cook some radroach meat (raw resource elsewhere), the cooked food now is in your hand. Food and water production excess is distributed in the network. Again no inventory fruits and bottles flying. How to cancel : same as any other job: farming, guarding, junk searching, shopkeeping. Ring bell, wait 1h, then assign the provisioner to do sg else, for example put down a guard post and tell him thats his new job. Or a carrot and tell him to attend it. Hope this helps. And yes, they are immortal but if you give 1 molotov 1 decent weapon 1 ammo and some armor these lonely patrols can give you xp clearing the roads. Its ok if they only kill 2 of 5 raiders then sit thinking about the life for a minute or two. Also never forget they travel: if you recognise your provisioner you can drop off loot to them if met on road. For example blue mining helmet means his origin settlement is Graygarden, then you can drop off your inventory to him. Later at Graygarden ring bell, sleep 1h, take loot back.

[@void_hunter94]

[@jakegreen6341]

I just have one question left. I know im way late to the party but, in terms of population count,does a provisioner feeling to both settlements or only to the settlement from which they originated? Furthermore, using the vault tec population management terminal, is it possible to manipulate a provisioner at the destination settlement and not just the originating settlement?

[@MolnarG007]

Provisioner sleeps, eats, counts toward population where you send him/her from to set up supply line. The originating settlement only, not at the destination. Also can be summoned only at originating settlement by ringing bell and sleep/wait for 1 hour. Population management is for only the settlement you are in, including provisioners originating from it.

[@krixpop]

Ok, (hm.. just a thought about provisioners) ) according to Bethesda : if 4 settlers from the population of one settlement are assigned to be provisioners then NO extra water will be produced by that specific settlement. The same with 3 provisioners and 1un assigned settler , 2 provisioners and 2 un assigned , 1 provisioner and 3 un assigned , or 4 ( or more ) un assigned settlers. Ideally and more than enough is max 2 provisioners / settlement. Also if in the workbench are stored more than 5 different drinks (Nuka Cola , Dirty Water , etc) then that Settlement will NOT produce extra water , disregarding the amount of Water pumps that Settlement has. The same mechanics are (it seams) in effect for all other food production.

[@randybrasher7859]

[@alexanderwelker4464]

I'm not sure if I have a mod that accidentally changes this or if it was done in a future update, but there were two things incorrect here. 1: Food and water is shared to where settlers don't complain and it does prevent happiness drop. 2: All items are shared, not just junk, however those items are only accessible through crafting, not just through the settlement builder, but also through weapons workbench, armor bench, cooking stove, chemistry bench etc.

There is no in-game mechanic to do this. But there is a mod (available on consoles) called Settlement Management Software that allows you to unassign provisioners. www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12032/

[@GeorgeCowsert]

Another big thing about supply lines, is that you can still use the resources in other settlements to craft items. The junk items that are used to create materials -might- also send the unused scrap into the workshop that said scrap came from. -I don't know fully- Supply lines are also crucial to allow for certain settlements to be dedicated to one primary resource with a few others to keep people from complaining. Doing so will allow you to utilize how the game decides how often you get attacked -less settlers the better- so that you can keep any major resources safe from attacks.

provisioners will bring purified water to work benches that have none if your water is lower than villager count. you can then sell that water. this helps when starting a new settlements. If you build a general store and set up a supply line to a settlement with excess water then you can use all the caps you make at the store to build the things you need so get started.

I realize this video is as old as my youngest son. (I just got into fallout 4 because I'm victim of the Fallout TV show on Prime as well.) Now a days after almost a decade of patches (I think) your building items do show up in the workbench inventory. lol

Thanks for the video. Really helped clear things up. Use the word "junk" instead of "scrap", thats all.

[@atpoe2273]

I usually make scenery robots on my supply line so that way they're Decked Out with a lot of weapons and never get killed and also freely kill enemies for me

7 years later and i found the awnser i was looking for here ^_^ sub and like thank you

[@Prognosticator0]

I usually equip my supply line personnel with mining helmets since they have a head light on them that illuminates in the dark. Know for sure what those things in the distance are at night.

[@MrsWhite437]

wow, i never knew how supply lines worked this whole time and im a little over 950 hours played thank you for the info

[@rickylafleur9601]

This man just explained it with perfect sense in one minute

[@baltherzar4]

A little confusing at the begining because of how you had your settlement supplylines set but over all great job oxhorn

[@ShreddedSteel]

... Anything near your Sanctuary, is going to get annihilated by Provisioners whenever you fast travel. Those poor mongrels and raiders.

[@GlendonPerkinsgp]

So here's something: I decided to split my supply lines in to small star section. The northwest is Sanctuary, central is Hangman's Alley, and the Castle the eastern shores. At least for now as I'm just starting. The weird thing is my Warwick provisioner apparently goes by sea not land. The Warwick settlement is the only eastern one I have that's south of the Castle. And I happened across the Brahmin eyeballing the water by the small boat off the main road to the Castle. After dispatching a few raiders up the road I returned to see the Brahmin in the water swimming toward Warwick. I took a screen shot of it.
