Supply lines let you use resources from another workshop, but they do not make them all physically located in each shop. You can only withdraw the item from where it exists, but you can use it from everywhere.
I have all the settlements linked to Sanctuary so I just dump all my stuff there and can build on any settlement. And I scrap weapons and armour that I pick up as you get better materials, it also gives you more build area on a settlement
@@Compulsion84 if you still play fallout 4. Go to Cabot house and complete that quest line. After that you’ll be able to loot everything in that house best part it they come back after you teleport away it’s a infinite hotspot of mini nukes and junk.
So as a tip to those that want to use purified water as for caps, for adhesive, survival, etc etc; take the water out and put it safely in a container. The more water purifiers or pumps ya have add up the numbers of the resource and the bigger the numbers, the more water you'll get for your workshop. And I do know water (not sure about other resources) spawns in the workshop as you're playing in real time but maybe not while ya rest. However there's no worries, whenever you're lost adventuring or doing other stuff the purified water should spawn back. There should be an experiment on the time.....
+Haku Oshino Yeah I didn't want to drive that home too much since the purifed water can be easily exploited to get infinite money. I'm surprised Bethesda left that in the game as is.
ok a couple of things; -the water is the total amount of water from the settlement product minus the population. the amount will sit in the workshop until you take it out -the scavenging stations work off real time activity while away from the settlement (I think its random but unsure of exact numbers/outcomes, hence why I'm here) I don't think it makes a difference how many you have, so pointless having more than 1 I am unsure if settlement happiness plays into the production, I don't think it does but I could be wrong
your welcome, and thanks for helping me and probably alot of others with scavanging stations, at first i thought it just gave 1 extra material every time you scrap somthing
yeah, like the cutter? idk, you make it in a chems station, and its under utility... liquid cutter? anyway there is not info on that at all, which is another to your list of weird things, anyway have a nice night and thank you for telling me and alot of others this (again)
+An Apple Eh the cutter is used for oil mostly and some steel (basically materials xD) that you can put in the workshop as junk. So if you've been hunting mole rats, found a super mutant base, or killed a death claw keep an eye out for bones. ;)
I started playing Fallout 4 a week ago and haven't played any Fallout game before. Yes the lack of tutorials or information on how to do things is more than aggravating, they may have done this to make it more immersive by starting out in this world not knowing anything and having to slowly learn it.
Selling purified water is not cheating or cheap, think about it in a world where most water is irradiated production of purified water would be a major industry. In fallout 3 the brotherhood of steel went to war with the enclave over project purity and both sides expended both men and material in mass to claim it. You can also do the same with most settlement produced items. So if you're going by that mindset, then well selling corn mutfruit or anything produced by settlers is cheating... just one mans opinion tho.
The in game mechanic is what pushed me away from selling the water. In a post apocalyptic world I 100% agree, but in the game it completely breaks the economy if you do it. I try to avoid doing that in games, even though it's sometimes easy, because then it removes money issues and makes it too easy. To each his own though. If you wanted to use really expensive weapons all the time, this would be a great way to fund it.
If you have cheated the resources, then yes it’s cheating, but you picked up the junk to build them, then no, I’m ok with using water purifiers. Great video, thanks for the time spent to look into this. I found that spending time in game doing quests gets more junk at the stations than fast travelling.
Hey, man purified water business isn’t cheap for resources but, will industrious water purification and a couple I get abt 300 in the workbench each 24 in-game time.
I just started a new gsme to set up a sanctuary settlement and go as normal. I have scavenging stations and left them to their devices. I wandered aroind a bit and came back and the workbemch was filled with junk. So I guess you have to actually be moving instead of jumping around
I usually fast travel away and then walk/run back or fast travel from closer locations multiple times back to the settlement. When I walk back what happens (from what I'm experiencing) is that items (junk usually or ammo boxes) resupply, so I pick those items up on my way back from a quest. Doing so allows time to pass and then allows for my settlements to scavenge for items. Gotta use those supply's though but when I get things like combat armor and clothing that can be equiped with that (usually gunner outfits and stuff) I quickly upgrade them and then equip them to my settlers. Guns as well.
Thank you only done 320 hours on this game since it come out and thought I'm finally gonna look up how them stations work as I never could work them out! Is it the same for shops just assign someone and money comes in?
+Martin Blanch It's been a long time, so I don't remember if they generate money. What you can do is sell stuff to them and make tons of money selling loot that way.
8 years later, and I have to say, if it's in the game and it's working as intended, it's not cheating. Besides, you can't cheat in a single player game. It's your game. Play how you want to.
I cannot find an answer to this will somebody please help me: I am making 50+ water in a settlement with 8 people and never see any excess anywhere and don’t know why. It is in Sanctuary Hills, is this a glitch? Please help thanks.
+Travis letchford On xbox one it's assigned to one of the shoulder buttons. I think right bumper. You look at the settler and hit it, then you can send them to another settlement to make a supply line.
+Travis letchford oh Geez. Yeah I played in PC, but I couldn't tell assign buttons easily at launch, so I just used console. I would unbind them to just normal jobs to "reset" if you want to make a nice circle. I don't remember if it actually matters how the lines go. I believe they're all shared.
It's been a couple months, so I'm going on memory. One of the buttons allows you to permanently relocate / move a settler. I would either do that for the supply line settler, or just find them at one of the settlements and unassign the job. If you can't unassign them, I would just tell them to do another job like gather crops or something. I believe that breaks the supply line. You may be able to go to the map, go to supply line mode, and break supply lines there... but I'm unsure if that's even possible. It's been a bit.
Well the good thing about this is that the devs were kind enough to put the potion well concept in this like they did in Skyrim. Granted there are more ways to make vast amounts of money in Skyrim but the potion making is by far the most lucrative and each potion only weighs half a pound
I as really expecting the scavs to bring me some good wood,steel,concrete etc for building purposes.In skyrim i could assign my companion to mine marvel(?)that was the basic thing to make homes and kinda lessened the hustle.In fallout 4 ,bathesda wants us to do the labor instead and so i was grinding cash to buy basic building stuffs. Yukk!
Peerfect, also I've been planning to make a supply line between my main settlement and the robot workshop and make tons of robots to every settlement and Build TONS of turrets food and water. "Another settlm-" Took care of it already dude. Already took care of it
The water strategy is dope because it makes sense. Clean water would be worth a lot in the post apocalypse setting.

bones are important man. it's needed to make oil
+Peter Cho Haha, yeah. They were just pissing me off for whatever reason that day.
I would like to thank you verrrry much for making this video.
It was a great help. Good luck with your channel ;)

Water builds up when you're playing in real time.

It's within the game mechanics and awesome for an RPG aspect. I'm gonna make a water salesmen build. I'm putting you out of business, Sheng Kawolski!
matthew earlywine Haha, that kid is a punk.
Yo 6yrs later. This vid helped me thanks!
Hah, glad it's still useful after all this time.
4:50 all of a sudden he starts swearing in Russian 😂😂😂😂

I don't think it makes a difference how many you have, so pointless having more than 1
I am unsure if settlement happiness plays into the production, I don't think it does but I could be wrong
Pointless having more than 1 scavenging station? So no sweatshops???
THANK YOU! I always wondered how those things worked!
You're welcome!
yay! a tut on scavanging stations! the last guy i saw gave me 20 anxiety attacks in the first 20 sec but your better i can already tell
+An Apple Thank you very much, I appreciate the compliment.
your welcome, and thanks for helping me and probably alot of others with scavanging stations, at first i thought it just gave 1 extra material every time you scrap somthing
+An Apple yeah, those go under the 'not explained at all' section of the game. There's a lot of misinformation out there too.

People crap on 4 but it's a very fun game imo, not a PERFECT game but still rewarding once you figure things out
@@PeppeRouniKenshin There is a lot to do that's for sure.

Compulsion84 yeah ofcourse thanks for the reply.
Thanks for the video. Do you think you need to empty your workshop to make your scavenger stations work (at least faster)
So is there a cap on scrap stations or can I just build 30+ and drag out massive profits
You think selling or farming purified water is cheating ????? We should be able to make our own nation and army and have great wealth
Water does not stack u need to pull out and store in container and after 24 hours sleep u get new stack.

Ty bro u just made a new subscriber here
You're welcome. Welcome aboard!
😂🤣😂😆
"I find that cheating "
It will bug the game
Me says : sir that is incorrect you should not lie to your viewers it will not bug your game
It can fuck you up by requiring high defense
Well said, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. I produce almost 1k water and it didn't bug my playthrough
I got to get back to playing, almost finished main story. Been playing Witcher 3.
That's a series that I've heard great things about and never got around to playing. Maybe one of these days.
I cannot find an answer to this will somebody please help me: I am making 50+ water in a settlement with 8 people and never see any excess anywhere and don’t know why. It is in Sanctuary Hills, is this a glitch? Please help thanks.
Good video. It helped
+Airman297 Thanks!
They don't find everything cause I still have to go get more material
Pelvic bone is good for you!!
How would selling purified water be cheating ?
It just felt like a super easy way to break the game's economy.
@@Compulsion84 what economy?
.50 caliber (666) 5:48
+Matt 13 Uhh what?
Unkindly Terror I know!
x GanXELY Devil bullets!
How did you move people and not have them as supply runners?
+Travis letchford On xbox one it's assigned to one of the shoulder buttons. I think right bumper. You look at the settler and hit it, then you can send them to another settlement to make a supply line.
+Compulsion84 I use PC and my supply line is a messed up spider web

+Compulsion84 so you use them as a supply line and when they get to their destination unassigned them to make them live there instead?
It's been a couple months, so I'm going on memory. One of the buttons allows you to permanently relocate / move a settler.

Hey how do you get the big metal box next to your work bench
Where do I look in the workshop mode to get it
And do you use this metal box for
Don't know if you still need it but furniture containers steamer trunk
Supply lines? THOSE EXIST IN THIS GAME?!?!?!? After almost 8 years and I never knew this?
Haha, they're a cool feature.
you shall do quest before you get water and food
Another styxhexenhammer doppleganger? Lol
I know this is an old video but that's false, it's not cheating to build water purifiers and sell the water
Holy crap i dont use scavenger workshop xD, since i didnt see any "difference" with that on settlements i never use them
"these deadbeats are going to bed"😅
Time sleeping does not count, it’s in game elapsed game time, actually playing.
There is almost no reason to have a scavenger shop. I can collect scrapes faster and more efficiently.
Power does do something! It gives power to TV's and stuff!

+Trifost Razomie TV Thank you.
Huh, I thought I was doing it wrong, I thought they needed a specific thing to scavenge, if so I wanted to use aluminum
Nah, it's just brute force. Gotta build a sweatshop :)
