Actual v good tips article in the guardian 12 more things in Fallout 4 they don't tell you, but advanced players need to know
Grenade vats suggestion is very clever. I've missed the Preston castle one.
Also I can't find the flamer in the castle. Have an urge to go through a mirelurker nest because I had the little span shits.
Incidentally literally just after I made my crack about mire lurker kings. I stumbled onto my first one. Fuckers soak up a lot of ammo before they die.

Hmm I've got so many mutt chops I may grow a tail.

Yes, yes they do. And they move very fast. They seem to like to get up close (apart from the one that got stuck on the boat yesterday), so my 91 damage combat shotgun came in very handy.

Nope, never finished the main story, despite hundreds of hours sunk in.

11 base Charisma 
+5 bonuses from clothing (which appears to be the maximum), now the question is, if I keep myself drunk on beer (+1 charisma) and high on grape mentats (+5 charisma) can I get up to 32 settlers in a settlement? Do the charisma bonuses for alcohol stack and should I get the party boy perk to stop me becoming an alcoholic or just embrace the lifestyle of the lush mayor of sanctuary hills, perma-wasted on booze and drugs?

Yes, bonuses from gear and/or chems increase the number of settlers you can recruit. When your biggest settlement has hit max population, put on your best party dress, hat, and fashionable glasses, power armour painted with vault-tec paint, pop those grape mentats, and switch that recruitment beacon on...

I found the hippie settlement. Love the robot. Spent last night doing the place up. Lots of crops, lots of defence.

I discovered the ship bit the other day , thought it was great . I'm quite impressed with the different bits, I spent hours missing the point and doing the minute men and the first brotherhood stuff, but levelled up loads then after actually going to diamond city it all changed again. I'm currently looking for the railway which I hope means there's a fair bit more to offer. Although I've found most places I go to I've already cleared lol

I'm still only level 28 or 29. I don't know how I manage it tbh. Slowest leveller ever.
I've got both local leader perks now, need the caps collector ones for the emporiums. Also desperate for the later levels of science, gun nut and armorer for those last couple of mods I want to make. There were TWO legendary ghouls at the hippie coop, both yielded stuff that's pretty decent. Loved finding Thoreau's house on the lake (go in the gift shop). I need to go back to Vault 85 now I've sent the cat back home (unrealistic - what cat obeys orders?), but I want to start the Railroad stuff, and do some Minutemen quests since I've done nothing beyond put in the recruitment beacon at Starlight, which I've got set up as my trading post. I even built a shed for the brahmin I seem to have acquired.

Crispy
The following psytrance is baṉned: All
I'm moving my main camp to Jamaica Plain (clearing the ghouls out of that place was fun!). I'll post up some pics of Casa Crispy later. I'm going to use the console to bump my charisma up to 6 cos quite frankly fuck putting 4 levels' worth into it just to be able to make crafting benches.

I've given in to the god of cheats, and toggle god mode whenever I'm building my settlements because it means unlimited materials, including food resources. I have a hard enough time getting all the materials I need for my endless gun and armour mods (I'm a hoarder, gotta upgrade 'em all) and I just want to enjoy settlement building... so I do!
If you find yourself running out of settlement build budget (i.e. the amount of stuff you're allowed to build there), drop a bunch of crap that you want to scrap (guns, armour) on the floor and scrap it from the workshop menu rather than the armour/weapons bench, and it'll take it off your size budget thinking you're scrapping settlement stuff. There's a mod to remove the limit on nexus but obviously that's just for PC.

How you reprogram the twat. I can't find his terminal ANYWHERE

Yeah, the minutemen are particularly... worthy.

There's a limit to the amount of stuff you can build in a settlement?

I've tried but I just cant get into this. I am a Borderlands addict. This seems *so* slow. What am I doing wrong?

It's in the long shed in the middle on a metal cabinet. The long shed with massive signs all over it. The long shed with the workshop bench inside. The really obvious long shed

I LOOKED THERE. I swear if I go there and it's there I'm burning you as a witch

Was it there?

Oh dear. The cabinet was scrappable, so if you got rid of that presumably the terminal disappeared too. That happened at Red Rocket for me, I scrapped the desk and the terminal went with it. Thankfully I'd read it first
