How Vassal Settlements Work - Nuka World Raider Outposts for Fallout 4

[@mdheinze57]

I wonder why they just didn't add raider missions where you could go capture some settlers for forced labor. It seems silly that you basically have to either invest time building up the settlement as a minuteman or have your raider settlements farmed by robots and/or disgruntled raiders..... or why not allow a small worker population of settlers at the raider settlement? you could have 3 or 4 settlers there and make them work for you. I really wanted one of my many FO4 characters to be an evil wasteland warlord but this is discouraging.

[@manmangler]

They should add amoral combat some normal peoples who pray on their knees mercy. It would put You thinking "I'm A Evil" like choice in Little Sister in Bioshock (I never killed Little sister, but I can kill anybomy in amoral combat because, I let them shoot first)

[@manmangler]

@Allen Reyes Jesus man, Not all of us are native english speakers.

[@Harkness197]

There are slaves in Nuka World but we cant capture our own slaves

[@agentmasterflex5545]

They could have even added stuff like uprisings If you didn’t keep your stuff high enough or at random points Armed settlers would spawn and you would have to put down the uprising If you fail..they will get independence And then slowly be guarded by minutemen They way you get it back is organize a party large enough to take it back Or incite something to take advantage of and reclaim it

[@insanegamer23899]

So this basically confirms my hypothesis that it is best to build up a settlement on your own before u turn it into a raider vassel

[@oxhorn]

Yes

[@V86falcon]

I like to do it before I become a minuteman or rescuing Preston. If you can just do it to one. Because I will turn on the vassal and take it over as a raider outpost as the last one available then put a bunch of chem pick ups, a booze still or two, and a tribute chest and then turn on the Raiders from the medic in Nuka world trader market after I get Atnerus. The reason why is it's easy 100 percent happiness to have those chem pick me up stations with all other needs met. Though I like to still add the other items that cause happiness for the fun of it. Plus if you use chems or want caps you get jet, buffout, and psycho from them.

[@claudiaroberts6719]

Which is completely un-immersive to me =/ which is why I've never been a raider yet

[@Therake2602]

Tecnically yes is the best because if you settlement had a lot of food you will get a lot fo them without worry about if an attack will destroy food so you can do a big businees with purified water and get a lot of food . You can get random items from raider settlement in workshop like vodka, rum, wisky , chems ,weapons ,armor, etc . If we have the point that nuka world sens tou a lot fo items free from territories and tribute chest in settlement . You will raise alot of caps . The only bad is that you will be constantly attacked by BOS and minutmens .

[@brandonmyers1876]

[@Lordoftheapes79]

No shit right? Missed opportunity right there.

[@Boner_Jamz]

@@udesterswag Having robot farmers in a raider settlement is far less of a happiness hit than having the raiders farm.

[@Halcylion]

I just re-started playing fallout 4 recently on my overboss character. I'll skip the details and just mention that I built up County Crossing as a farming settlement, producing 180 food with the intention of turning it into a vassal, but when I talk to Shank about setting a job to convince settlers to start supplying my raider outposts, County Crossing is not in that list. It's not greyed out, it's simply absent, just like Covenant. However, when I chose to establish a raider outpost, County Crossing appears on that list and can be selected no problem. I googled the hell out of this problem, but found nothing and I'm hoping someone can tell me if County Crossing is not available to be a vassal by default or if it's just me having a bug or something. I am using some mods, but they have not affected the other settlements in the slightest. I did notice a miscellaneous quest titled "building lot and occupants" that's probably from the Sim Settlements mod, so that thing could be the problem, but how come it's not affecting other settlements if that's the case? I also have established a raider outpost with a nuka world radio transmitter nearby, at Taffington Boathouse, but that didn't work. Maybe it's just something I'm doing wrong.... Anyway, I'll be grateful for any help I can get.

[@Halcylion]

After some work and running around the commonwealth like a headless chicken across multiple save games, I figured out the problem: the raider outpost at taffington wasn't allied to me due to some kind of bug. I stealthily... put down the raiders inhabiting that place, talked to shank to recapture it and once I took full control of that outpost and its radio transmitter, County Crossing became available in the list of settlements I could... subdue.

[@SpazKoopa]

glad to hear about that, I have had that bug before, i didn't know you could go recapture it though with Shank??? I guess you just go talk to him about it, even though you did it before?

[@redking9054]

Look at the skills he is demonstrating here he is smoking a cigar while playing a game while talking to us through telepathy just so amazing

[@oaksparoakspar3144]

So, the short math is 1 vassal to every 3 raider settlements if your vassals are at your population max and are 100% farmers, since every farmer produces 6 food (sending 3 to the raiders). The key, of course, to keeping that ratio is having more or equal farmers than your population cap, so that the raiders are fed OR keeping your raiders below your population cap (5 unassigned according to a previous Oxhorn video). It would also behoove you to consider "loading" a settlement up well beyond your cap by sending settlers there from other settlements while under the effects of Charisma boosting clothing, chems, and booze or using the automatron radiant quest. If your normal cap is 21 (10 base + 10 base Charisma + 1 from Bobble), it should be easy to boost your charisma by at least 5 from garb, 5 from grape mentats, and a few more from booze - putting you into the mid 30's as a temp cap. With 35 farmers in one settlement you can support 105 raiders - exactly 5 settlements at your normal cap. If you want Junk, just keep a settlement standard and fill it with scavenging stations - that will produce far more than the vassal system - vassal are about food and caps. Also, since the food comes from the types grown, you can control the food you get by using mono-culture vassals (ex, 3 vassals of equal size should give you equal quantities of corn, mutfruit, and tato if each vassal only grows one of the three crops - in that case for Adhesive production).

[@IAmAnEvilTaco]

I can verify that there's no range for vassals. My first 2 settlements (outpost and vassal) were literally all the way across the map from one another. Still showed the outpost getting food. I think you're right, I wouldn't be surprised if the limited range thing were something they'd planned, but scrapped because of how hard it would be to keep track of as a player.

[@ckir1963]

2 thoughts. Maybe they originally planned that the vassal Had to be in range of the Nuka World transmissions? My head canon is now that the Raiders want things to be easy as possible so, on their own, they don't like doing without the raider radio advantage.

[@Milton2k]

You are the only one to go over the specifics of this game, the code. Some ppl will hate it, I love it. Big fan of yours, hope you keep going and grow as a channel.

[@Lojeb44]

I learned a while back that settlement recruitment beacons still work at vassal settlements, as well as vault tec workshop's population management system I put both of those in all my vassal settlements and 120 mutfruit, then assigned settlers to food after they arrived, even though I wasn't able to modify the settlement

[@bradhudson4111]

Huge thanks Oxhorn im currently doing a complete raider play through, this video is of yours is going to make it so much easier.

[@sksShadow1987]

Question: Lets assume every (possible) settlement is either a Raider Outpost or a vassal. What to do when you get food problems at this point? You cant "build up" a new vassal so what do you do? Building a farming robot is one option, planting food manually in the workshop is another. anything else?

[@antihero9443]

Decrease your raider population by using the arena system to let them kill themselves.

[@darthjoosboxx6267]

If you add a vacuum hopper and storage conveyor to your Tribute Chest, will it continue to produce items/caps/food/etc. since the Tribute Chest is continuously being 'looted'? This is especially important when noticing the wording used in the code around the 5:00 mark. You say max items per day, but the code says MaxStored.... If the Tribute chest is being sucked dry by the vacuum hopper, the verbage is especially important and could be a continuous loot crate.

[@OcihEvE]

Dragging this back up because it's new to me but the range defines what you can hit as Vassel. Use the first settlement as an example. I hit Slog first. Oberland wasn't an option as a Vassal. It wasn't close enough to Slog. What I had done was groom Oberland as a Vassel and I had no plans on making anymore. It didn't work out because I couldn't hit a settlement as an outpost that would then unlock Oberland as a Vassel. I ended up loading an old save and groomed a second Vassel. The point in all this being, I planned to raid for food. I don't know if I can do that though. I wanted to simply go out and take all the pork and beans, sugar bombs etc I got as loot and drop them in workshops, where raiders could access them on demand but I don't think the game looks in settlement workshops to see if there is food. Did you see anything in the code that suggests it does a local check for food? I think it needs food production balancing out to raider demand. Have 2000 mutfruit in the workshop. It means nothing.

[@loveunit21]

In that case, my role-playing reason will be a 'good character' so fed up with all of those ungrateful settlers that he decides to enslave them once and for all. Cause otherwise, building up a settlement with my own resources using my own time only to enslave them after makes no sense whatsoever.

[@ReallyKeepingFictional]

Late comment, but... In my Overboss character, I rationalized doing it that way as him taking the steps to have settlements under his thumb. So that when he went back with loyal Raiders to take it over, he'd already have scouted out outpost spots with resources in place. And yes, he has no qualms with using robots. Total happiness is not a concern, only survival.

[@TheDevian]

That happiness penalty happens even if it is not the raiders doing the work (for example if you get regular settlers there, or robots maybe too). My first try, I recruited regular settlers (game was bugged, made some of the people there stay and farm) and built robots, but the happiness still plummeted. From personal experience, I can say you do not need to do the quest for Abernathy first, but you do need to do Finch farm, Sanctuary, and I am not sure what else. At least, Abernathy is fine if you talk them into it, you might have other results if you try beating them down. If there is a rage on the vassals (other than the radio), it could only be on the ones he gives you the option for taking over, but I have not done a lot of experimenting with it. Maybe next time I will try starting with Sunshine Tidings, and see where it goes from there. As for the Defense stat conjecture, that was not about settlement happiness, that Food+Water(etc.) number was to help limit the attacks, or so the rumor was implying. Happiness was never really a factor in that calculation, other than having a higher def helped with it some. IT was not about just enough to keep them happy, it was about keeping them 'safe'. You can also build up the RR in Nuka-World with Robots and let them farm, and not worry about their happiness. Not sure if it's possible, but ideally, sending the raiders to other outposts would be nice.

[@denarhiadra5266]

I wish I had seen this before I did my raider play-through. It has sure explained a lot. I have 9 raider outposts, 16 vassals, 171 raiders and over 400 food, happiness ranges from 87 - 100 between the outposts, and still every time I go to one of them there are raiders saying I am starving them. How can they be starving if they have enough food?

[@kmac169]

Actually the Nuka radio transmitter has nothing to do with indicating which potential vassal settlements are in range of a raider outpost. When you hover over an outpost on the map all nearby settlements that can be made into vassal ones will have their icons changed to that half chain circle one whether you have a Nuka radio transmitter at that outpost or not. All the transmitter does is improve the success chance for persuading settlers to give in, give up, or be bribed off cheaper.

[@oxhorn]

Yeah, I just went through all the reasons why that is not true. The icon indicates how easy it is to intimidate a nearby settlement--nothing more.

[@kylerowley8248]

What i read was that having a defense equal to your resource production pretty much eliminates the chance of it being attacked, however i cant say whether or not this is true.

[@christopherhayward1686]

Hey oxhorn, I love your videos, you are one very few people I subscribe to. I have a question for you. If you build up a settlement to have enough beds/food for a population of say 20 settlers but only have 2 settlers in it to make it easier to turn into a vassal, if you build a settler recruitment beacon before you turn it into a vassal will activating the beacon afterwards still bring settlers in to the settlement and if it does will they get automatically assigned to the available food/beds?

[@wiredwrong760]

I just think that Vassal or other stuff, there is a point by which you might have to many raider ran towns, as in by making sure you got as many people working on food. That at some point there is a cap and your raiders will starve, because over that cap it is unable to do anything else. It means that it runs out of resources to do what needs to be done, if you have tons of raider outposts. But its part of the reason to get 1 to 1 and as many people working for food as possible. I personally hate the fact you have to ignore the start of the game if you wish to be a raider, not going the way they suggest you should go. I suspect the food and water to defense thing has to do with if your raided often or not.

[@manmangler]

I have 9 Raider settlements @25 pop, 6 vassals @25 pop, 4 normal settlements @ Commonwealth, 4 full settlements @ Far Harvor. Vassals produced over 110 food per settlements before turning them vassals. Raider, Normal and Far harbor settlemens are connected via Robot supplylines to red rocket. All good except I left Preston to rotten in Concord. If I has played MM to big guns, I could build empty settlements Artillery and then use hostile takeover. After that Raiders could use artillery.

Oddly, I still get some of the locations griping about not having enough food. Either my math is terrible, or its a glitch?

If you hold off on the minuteman quest line and do the nuka world quests first. This allows you to take over nuka world and then the commonwealth settlements and then have a change of heart and join the minuteman.

Tried to find info on this and found here may be best to ask: After getting Warlord 3 I decided to reacquire and convert all raider outposts back to settlements (removing turrets and installing Tribute chests for the positive bug that they still work after conversion) - problem which seems a positive one (on the surface) but am scared it might break my game is that 3 out of the original 8 raider outposts (that's the original vassal and the nearest 2 adjoined) can't re-establish supply lines because they are already drawn on the map - it's as if the original concept of raider outposts sharing all has been retained even after the oupost has been converted back to a normal settlement - is this a bug or normal? Thanks in advance

[@kyearwood3652]

I built up all the targeted settlements to 27-32 farmers before taking them over, currently have 6 outposts and 10 or 12 vassal settlements producing mountains of mutfruit. Raiders still whine that I'm starving them. I tried setting up some farming robots at one outpost, which made the raiders stop complaining but apparently the farm bots tanked the happiness the same as if I'd put a raider on tatos. Seems like I can either have happy outposts full of complaining raiders, or unhappy outposts filled with satisfied raiders.

[@oxhorn]

Yeah robot happiness is capped at 50, so having too many robots will tank the overall happiness of your settlements.

***** Yeah I know that, however, as soon as I assigned a bot to farming the happiness shot down to the 30s. I put 3 farm bots on 1 raider outpost and happiness went to the 20s before I got rid of the bots. If they stayed at the default 50, it shouldn't have gone below that, so something is screwy.

robots you build are potential followers. as far as settlement things they can do it's basically limited to caravans, defense/artillery, and harvesting. their intended primary use was basically a murder-bot that follows you around and occasionally hands you a fistful of junk for your settlement. you can assign them to stores, but they won't ever sell you anything. felt like it was missed opportunity to let players build a greygarden like settlement of their own. dunno if that was intentional and they just sorta ran out of time, or if this is just yet another bug among the hundreds they couldn't be bothered to fix.

X defense to answer the X assault incoming, and the assaults were based on your food + water. So if you wanted to defend 130 crops and augua, you'd need 130 defense to fight off whatever without you the player needing to save them

[@domestictman8395]

well my somerville place with 80 food seems just about ready..

[@brandonswales146]

I can't make any raider out posts shank just says he doesn't have any targets even though I have taffington boathouse 6 people food and water and enough boats. Can someone help???

[@Farrout32]

Brandon Swales mine was doing the same thing but it turns out i just had to disable the unlimited building mod. If you dont use mods or that mod then sorry no clue :D

[@ericsonkennway9651]

If Settlers die in aVassal Settlement is there a way to replenish them?

[@TheEmpireAnimations]

Your gang finds more for you.. you will see them collecting slaves sometimes

[@xibbarsdrawde3284]

thanks again bubb!

[@MacManChomp]

Okay, don't hate me here, but divided by half is the same as doubled. :P

[@bowserbowser8580]

Can you build up vessel settlements?

[@dead_clownx4697]

Have a vassal settlement with 17 settlers producing 103 food 30 water with 26 beds before I made it a vassal settlement all raider settlements getting 0 food what am I doing wrong

[@imzesok]

as far as I'm aware....nothing, so long as the food value color is green they're fine(according to another of Oxhorn's videos on the subject). it's a long standing bug in the reporting. they have food as long as it's green, if it's red, then there's a problem.

[@dead_clownx4697]

great video! Keep it up!

[@SweetMattieG]

Adding food and water to get your defense has nothing to do with happiness, it has everything to do with deterring raiders. If your defense is higher than your food and water, raiders just won't bother attacking because it's not an easy worthwhile target.

Can Raider Settlements actually get attacked?

[@SovietRussia777]

Noa Dadic late comment but yes, my raider settlement in the marina got attacked by the brotherhood

[@sam_i_am1747]

Also late to comment, but my Croup Manor raider outpost is constantly attacked by a Vertibird every single time i fast travel to it. But yes, I will also get notifications about an outpost being attacked, just like a regular settlement. It's usually attacked by the Minutemen.

How are you talking with that cigar in your mouth? ;D

That was footage that was recorded before this vid, he used it to entertain

JuanTheGod I know, it was sarcasm, thus the face at the end.....

[@Yannis1a]

You are using notepad++ to look at you code?? Oxhorn, every one knows Visual Studio Code is the best way to code

[@michaellv426]

There should be an option of sending a raider to occupy a defense post in a settlement in exchange for a free bed, 1 unit of free food, 1 unit of free water, free visits to a doctor, 1 free chair near a restaurant, and many other benefits, in that settlement

This video gets so much information wrong.

[@Bigcheese1334]

This is really, really dumb. What if you sided with The Minutemen or any other faction Going to feel about this every single faction in the game can agree on one thing Hating raiders and yet in the nuka world dlc you're joining up with them what? Is everything I just said true Or is there something I'm missing Please tell me it's that last part

[@imzesok]

that's about the size of it, yep. People really hated the minutemen questline... you do all that work building up the commonwealth and the settlers are still ungrateful a-holes that cannot defend themselves even with 200+ defense for 8 settlers. it's a poorly done, irritating mechanic that very few people find enjoyable. the rescues/raids have infinite range which means you could be sent to far harbor to rescue a guy that should never have been in danger of getting abducted in the first place or wipe out a group of raiders that could never have been a threat in the first place. and then there is Garvey....which makes that crap-sandwich go down a little worse, so people cried out for an evil option(if for no other reason than to stick it to Preston, sadly no option to execute him in the process was given). . .Nuka world became that option. sadly unlike MM they cannot help you assault or at least gain access to the institute. yet another missed opportunity from Bugthesda.

[@shaquantucker7463]

i need help im in nuka world at the vault on the upper left and i need hep on building the joint

[@pipp6444]

I just kill the raiders cause I don't want to ruin my game and lose Preston plus I kind of like final judgement just a little bit more than aternus

[@ImsorryAnakin]

I shall not be playing as raider thank ye vedy much. I shall be the liberator of Coca-World.
