man.... I would hate to be the provisioner for spectacle island... that's a long swim.
fufucarlos I use a truster robot for that one...lol
what about Nuka World or Far Harbor?
Flaming Curse well you reach to the station and use the train
And for far harbor a boat i guess
fufucarlos on the island there a row boat they use
Les Anderson jr I would use a protection
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.
Dave Brohman you sir are a scholar and a hero
Dave Brohman nah shit
Better to use automatrons
I give my provisioners the same uniform, the same ru556, and 1000 rounds of ammo and turn them all into provisioners so that all of my minutemen into a sort of roaming police force. The only settlers that arent roaming man the artillery
@@dak4465 you only need a few bits of ammo as settlers have Unlimited ammo afterwards. Unless that is an explosive heavy gun
I love the random +XP bonuses that pop up from my provisioners kicking butt.
How dose that work is it with supply lines
Its free real XP
OH that's what that is 😂😂
I stock up my provisioners as my own private army slowly bringing the commonwealth under my influence as I command the land from sanctuary
Man……I WISH… I would have found this video sooner. Just got back into fallout and have been traveling back to sanctuary to do most of what I needed. And I spent so much time at other settlements trying to increase the workbench items. Thank you friend!
Welcome back... Escape was never really an option.
This really puts into perspective the priorities in gameplay always do preston's settlement quests after getting piper's affinity perk for more exp eventually you max out preston get his perk and get all the settlements needed to establish a supply line.
I'm about 140 hours into my first play through of Fallout 4 and I had no idea about this! Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Seems odd that the game doesn't explain things like this.
My third Play through and I just found this out
It dose
Here in 2024
same
re watch it every once in a while when I forget
Me 2
ye
Back again 🎉
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.
That's true--all objects that can be manipulated in workbenches are shared at all connected settlements.
He 100% said that in the video
That was like the first thing he mentioned 😂😂😂
A year later and still the most helpful fallout 4 channel out there
Captain ThunderBong another year later and still had the most useful fallout videos
Captain ThunderBong ikr
2 years later and still helpful to me.
Still relevant in 2019 lol
how about 4 year later, 2020???
6 years later, 800+ hours, 20+ play throughs and I’m just now learning how to properly use settlements in fallout 4😂 gosh I would’ve enjoyed so much more bsck then had I known about all this
Honestly there should have been a mission to explain this... and weapons too.on my first play through and getting frustrated by it.
I know the feeling bro
5 years later and I still use these videos
You don't know how many nerves and time would be spared, if I knew this before. Thank you so much Oxhorn😅
Careful Settlers will steal food if they're connected and in need of it. Was almost impossible to get an adhesive farm going before I gave all the connected settlements their own food..
Hungry hippos..
Thanks for the great guide though Oxhorn, I've realized it's a great way for people interested in modding (like me) to learn about mechanics of the game, imagine what we'd like to change etc. Keep it up
awww man i was planning on turning sanctuary into a water farm and setting up a supply line to hang mans alley to sell at diamond city for my survival play through
Caravan, however manually is possible: just fill up your idle companions with stuff to sell then dismiss them to Hangman's Alley.
5 years later and I still watch the guides. Thank you. 🥺
WAT! IVE BEEN MOVING EVERYTHING!
your not alone
Yeah, you're not alone lmao!
Jake Kennedy lol I did that for my first 20 levels because I didn't know how to set up supply lines until I googled it. I thought supply lines was bugged
I was so close to this mistake
I had to do this for a few minor projects. But it was because of a low charisma character
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. :)
Or you build many robots, send them to the mechanist's lair, and then assign them to the supply lines
Blauer Medic does that not count against the settler limit?
@@adamcaretta4715 There's a nexus mod that can make robots not count towards settler limit (as well as adjust their happiness from the default 50 flat happiness)
Dang, I was hoping to move food from one workbench to another. As for the video, it was clear, precise, and didn't waste time. I found it immensely helpful. Thank you!
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!
ATTENTION VIEWERS: You MUST have at least one point in the Local Leader perk BEFORE ANY OF THIS IS POSSIBLE --> You're Welcome!
I have both points in Local Leader but it won’t show up on my map
@@Spydog_222 What won't show up on your map? Describe for me what "it" is that you're talking about?
@@NorthernChev the supplie Line button won’t show up on the screen
@@NorthernChev im playing on PlayStation so its L1 instead of C
@@Spydog_222 So, you're saying the option to see "Supply Lines" is not showing up, right? Have you assigned a Supply Line to a Settler yet?
1) Go into Workshop Mode
2) Point at a Settler to see if their assignment is RED
3) If so, look at the options at the bottom and see if there is one to assign Supply Line
4) Let me know if that worked. Then we can go from there.
I can't believe that over years of playing Fallout 4... replaying it in every possible way with every possible outcomes... That I am just now realizing that this is an option. I really wish I had realized this before now and found your gentle sooner you have really helped me out here. This is my favorite game and I've replayed so many times and I probably will for years especially now that I know how to do this. However, it does make me want to die a little bit inside haha
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.
Thank you brother many years later and still this has helped me. Hats off sir.
I really needed this explained, thank you. I had water purifiers all over the place and couldn't figure out why I had to visit each individual workshop to collect them.
Thank you so much!
5 years later still helping
i have watched a couple of your fallout videos now. i dont understand why people hate on your channel so much. you clearly you know the mechanics of the game. and give solid information and content . stay true to yourself bro, fuck the haters. sincerely ,a fellow Brandon.
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.
Thank you for this video because some people made it seem if you connected Jamaica Plains to Sanctuary all the settlements in between Jamaica Plains in sanctuary would have materials being shared
3:08 Ox sounded like that Obama meme “if, if, if” 😂
Im somewhat of a beginner withh 90hrs of playtime and had no idea how this worked. I just put my perk points on the local leader twice and still never knew how it worked till i watched this video. The video is old but still as helpful as ever. Thank you!
How did you get coloured icons for your pip-boy map?
I didn't find anything in your list of mods.
Oddball_E8 it is in options
I don't see it on xbox1?
@@taylorulch9871 In case you still haven't figured it out, go to settings, then display and at the bottom you should see pip-boy along with sliders with Red, Blue, and Green, slide the colors however far to get the color you want. For example sliding Red and Blue to the right will get you Purple.
@@kennyl4962 vanilla fo4 does not offer coloured icons! lol

4 years later and still the most helpful fallout 4 channel out there
Thank you so much for the easy explanation. You made it so easy to understand.
wow 28 level up not spend on perks...
Laa Mawjuud no he has the local leader perk or else he can’t make supply lines
Shifty 14 I think they were referring to him having 28 “level ups” available that he hasn’t used.
5 years later and still the most intuitive guide to fallout 4 out there🤣😂(i love this shit)
After realizing the mess supply lines make i had to restart.. Vegetable Starch

+5 Adhesive when scrapped
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.
Two birds one stone. Literally explains power and supply lines in one analogy. Subbing.
I love these videos, they're a huge huge help. Thanks a lot man! So much stuff about this game I haven't figured out yet. Reminds me of Fallout 2, played it for years and figured out something new every once in a while. This is why I love Fallout so much.
OMG I've wasted so many settlers on needless supply lines.
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.
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?
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.
Just started playing two days ago, love it when i find old videos that still have relevant information. Cheers !
I know the video is a couple years old, but I now finally have an answer on how it works. Thanks so much!!!!
Thank you so much for clearing up that shared but not visible items in the bench. I thought my game was glitched or something.
4 years and it's still helpful XD
The same thing also applies to weapon and armor mods. While they may not be present at a particular settlement, a Supply Line allows settlements to "share" those mods, just like junk and food/water.
That's very true!
it took me so long to realize that. i had all my mods in a toolbox and had to go through every damn time
Ok I know this may evade the video but for a settlement with shops I recommend robots (it is expensive) though you dont need food or water and you can have high defenses
I only had water pumps and turrets at the Red Rocket, never any attacks. Then I set up one setter as a provisioner and now attacks have started.
Who knew that I would still need this about four years after
Thank you thank you….I was so confused. I’m just starting supply lines (I have 10 settlements) and now I know better on how to connect them
7 minutes to talk about supply lines. Lol I love your videos! No stone unturned, and no minute fact untold!
that spread of supply lines makes the provisioners clump up in sanctuary.
I’m late to this game. This was SO helpful thank you so much
Me too
Never too late :)
Awesome. Didn't get a comment reply so you make a full video about it! What a guy! I bet you answered a lot of questions for a lot of people, including myself! This is a delicious video B)
How can i delete a supply line? Because all my provisoners are from the castle and now i have only a few settlers there
Just wait for them to get back and then assign them to a crop so that it'll cancel the provisioner task
build a bell (ressourcrs, miscelinios) to gather your settlers, maybe you need to wait some hours but finaly your provisioners will join the meeting :)
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/
+Oxhorn i'm on ps4 so i guess i'm screwed
Your only option is to re-assign them manually the next time you see them.
Great video explaining supply lines - I’m now fully set up in the game thanks!!!
I know it's way too late, but whatever. The evolution of Oxhorn's intro:
- Friendly neighborhood Oxhorn
- Neighborhood friendly Oxhorn
- Friendly-hood neighbor Oxhorn
This cleared up so much confusion for me. Thank you very much for being smarter than me… or having more common sense. Idk but this helps so much.
How do you got 74 settlers? Are you a cheater?
brazilianniceguy Automatron quests.
Here 4 years later and still helpful Thanks!
i took your advice on robot provisioners. im making them for the vanilla settlements first then the dlc settlements. its going good so far!
The best supply line explanation I’ve seen so far. Thank you!
Watching you during the corona crisis. Love the tricks and lore you give us. Thank you!
Wow that's a supply line mess. What I do is once unlocking a new settlement I go back to the last one that was unlocked and send a supply line from it. Only 1 settler from each settlement is a provisioner so I have maximum workers in each settlement and not allot of empty beds.
This just made my life a whole lot easier
I use Graygarden as a robot only base, and central HQ distribution point for the supply lines. I build heavily armed assaultrons as provisioners.
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.
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
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.
wow, i never knew how supply lines worked this whole time and im a little over 950 hours played thank you for the info
This man just explained it with perfect sense in one minute
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.
I know this is an old video, but I’ve noticed most people don’t know this, but it ALSO works for food and water! But only food and water that is INSIDE a workbench. So say you have 1 farm producing 100 food, and 100 water. But that settlement only has 20 settlers. Well that means you’re going to have 80 food and 80 water being placed into your workbench not being used. Well, if you connect it to another settlement that has 20 settlers but they produce no food or water? Your provisioned will actually give that food and water to those settlements. Using only surplus resources in a workbench. So you can actually just have 1 gigantic farm producing all the food and water needed to supply all of your settlements. Those settlements will still say they’re producing 0 food and 0 water (because that’s true) but it won’t be RED, meaning they’re adequately fed at the moment. Now if you run out of surplus that will change, and it will become red. So it doesn’t mean they will forever be adequately fed, food does run out, unless you’re producing enough to keep the workbench stocked properly. This can be extremely handy for people wanting to have Boston airport as a functioning settlement. Connect it to another settlement that can produce enough food and water for them both.
There’s a bug though with settlement resources, as I’m sure we’ve all seen, where it’ll show an exclamation point on a settlement when it shouldnt (and/or settlers will complain about food and water). As if you don’t have enough of something. If you DO have enough, just go to that settlement, open the workshop and then close it. It should reset. It doesn’t automatically update since you’re fixing the problem at another settlement, not that one. You have to go to that settlement and open workshop and close it for it to reset at that location.
Think of it in the same way raider settlements work. It’s exactly the same thing. Only difference is those settlements aren’t being strong armed lol
And yes it does allow happiness to increase to 100, despite what oxhorn says in this video. If done properly. I used this method to get the achievement for 100 happiness, having only 1 settler at red rocket, and her job was to man the bar, so she couldn’t farm too. So I just connected it to a farm location with enough supplies to keep her fed.
Thanks! In a most videos about this topic, the youtubers talk that all resources from all settlements, are share, even in espefic settlement inventory. Now I can play in peace =']! auhaiuha
even after watching this video again, the moment oxhorn zoomed out i still go "JESUS"
Provisioners: yes
Route guards: yes
If u got alot of stuff to transport then assign people to that settlement and go there. Then trade all the stuff and assign them back where u want to transport. If u can fast travel it makes no sense but I started on survival mode and carry capicity is limited making scavenging hard because u dont have fast travel. Unlocking settlements and scavenging around it and depositing it there and then letting settlers mule make it very easy to transfer junk. Hope this helps someone on survival.
You missed the part where Preston gives you 3 quests while you’re temporarily at Sanctuary
This video is about supply lines.
You can unlock many settlement and never connect them. For example Charisma 1 not 6 that needed for local leader perk.
I turn Starlight Drive In into a sort of caravan hub, even made up the idea of them being 'The Starlight Caravan Company'.
thank you Oxhorn I really like your videos
You can get the scraps form other settlements for the workshops and power armor aswell.
Helpful and straightforward thank you 👍
This is a lot more complicated and unnecessary than just giving every workbench the inventory of every other workbench added together, but ik that’s not your fault. Good advice
It's really not complicated. You press one button and choose where you want a supply line to go to
Robots make the best provisioners. A heavily armed and armored robot will slaughter almost anything it encounters in the Commonwealth.
2 years later... I’m still watching
I assume the a item such as a water pump when stored at a workshop in settlement A, is not accessible to settlement B thru supply lines? Your the answer man. :)
That's correct. Once stored, each object you build is accessible only at the settlement where you build it. To reclaim those resources, you need to scrap the object.
My favorite part was when he was happy that he had wood. I too often have wood. Thanks for the video!
This is why this game is amazing
I my fin god this is a gamechanger thank you dude
This helps for PC, I have a PS4. I've never been able to set up supply lines. I've already passed fo4 on Hard. Now I'm playing on survival mode and I'm at level 32.
At last, a clear explanation! Thank you! 😀
ohhhh I thought the junk on transfer tab can be transported
Okay, Oxhorn, I have a question. Let's suppose you have a certain number of settlements established, including Bunker Hill. Let's also assume, that you have all the perks necessary (Local Leader, Caps Collector) to start assigning provisioners out into the wastes. Would it be advantageous to have all provisioners sent to a single site, a la, Bunker Hill, in order to achieve viable supply lines and maintain resources between settlements? Or is it better to daisy chain supply lines to settlements?
Can you make a quick vid on how to delete or change supply line.....please...by the way this vid and the other on how to connect supply lines was most helpful...subbed.
Dude literally answered my question in the first minute lol very nice
Rocket 69 rocket 69 would you like to take a ride to my rocket 69
Thank you oxhorn, now i wint have to take all my resorces to a setlment in need of defences and then forget about it.
Very well explained, thanks very much; saved me a lot of time.
So basically, I knew nothing about this, and I randomly looked up. What is the purpose of settlements and then I found out that you can link them before that I was grabbing all of the junk from one workbench as much as I could carry fast traveling to the other one, emptying my inventory of junk and then going back and repeating and now that I know this, this is going to be so much quicker
So does it make sense to have a settlement overproduce food? Or is that just a waste since the population of that settlement will not utilize it?
