Also, spoilers for a certain place northeast of Sanctuary:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I found a junkyard with a robot in it that you can command to go places. I want to use the option to command it to go to a nearby raider place and kill the everything, but it refuses to move. Anyone know what's up?

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It seems to be heavily bugged, you can make it work by fast traveling back and forth, or use console commands (disable and enable). It's quite strong, but as you'll see, it was in the junkyard for a good reason : it tends to overheat red hot quite fast and then spends several seconds venting to cool down (exposing the fusion cores inside). I tried to use it to discover the locations it can move to, by following him around, but it ended up disappearing - so i reloaded a save - and after a while he just got stuck in a loop moving back and forth, unable to path properly to his destination. Also, I didn't really like the fact that he steals your XP when killing stuff, so in the end I just got him to self destruct and looted the remains.

Note that since the USAF base Olivia is pretty close, he won't have any trouble going there, but he'll actually stay on the road, and once his destination reached, he'll say that he's patrolling but will actually go back to the junkyard and patrol that. So he can't really be used to fight the raiders in Olivia.

And another small spoiler about that location :

there is a fatman, some flamer fuel and a mininuke to find around the junkyard if you search a bit.

Wow, had to google search last night to find the old woman's chair.  Since it wasn't under "chairs".  I chased her around and built three, didn't know it was in a "special" tab above furniture.

I originally scrapped a lot of chairs and other green-highlighted things but I guess that was somewhat wasteful, I should have stored them instead.  But, how do I place things once I've stored them?  I guess chairs are just decoration anyway, or maybe happiness...

Also kinda weird that there's a couple of items, patio chair and patio table I think, which are green not-junk but can't actually be stored.

Washisname also came off as crazy as he walked me through the basic needs tutorial despite me having already done everything.  "You gonna help or not!?"  "I already did help, you crazy coot!"

From what I've read, when you store something there's a number below that construction, and when you build another of that it takes away from that number rather than your materials.

Finally went to Goodneighbor. Gotta say, I was suprised to find

Spoiler: Very minor spoilers, but maybe you want the surprise (click to show/hide)

the Vault-Tec salesman

there.

It also has the best gun vendor I've yet seen.

[IWishIWereSarah]

I'm contaminated :
got it yesterday, played 10 hours, have 101 save files.
And it feels like I've only just begun

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, it's got this weird thing where each autosave apparently makes a new save file.

Also, found a new reason to follow Brotherhood vertibirds around (as if getting to loot full suits of T60 from dead Knights wasn't enough): sometimes if you're lucky a gunner will get shot out without the whole craft being destroyed; turns out that they carry the full supply of 5mm ammo for the miniguns they man, I found ~550 rounds on one.

Also also, while you're in Goodneighbor, be sure to look around for quests. One of 'em will nab you a rather nifty gun if you make the correct choices.

Spoiler: It's like getting to use a minigun and a flamer at the same time! (click to show/hide)

Full-auto laser rifles are absurdly good as long as you mod them for as much recoil control/reduction as possible; my attempts at a laser SMG and scattergun went from straight ahead to aiming at the ceiling in less than a second.

[SOLDIER First]

The weird thing is laser weapons are supposed to have little to no recoil, and most of them are semiautomatic anyway.

[sprinkled chariot]

Damn, seems that room with all items does not have all items.

[Sartain]

I remember using cigarettes (at least cartons and packs) as currency in previous games too (not as actual currency but junk with better than normal value), but in FO4, pre-war money and cigarettes are considered "junk" and get filtered that way. Somewhat annoying in my opinion.

Cigarette cartons and packs were used in Fallout New vegas: Dead Money DLC to gain local money. Maybe you were remembering that?

I don't think so, cigarettes were pretty decent commodity items for barter in both Fallout 3 and New Vegas. High value, low weight, relatively plentiful and also makes sense as a bartering item from an in-game point of view. Well except for the fact that they'd all be horribly dry or maybe decidedly dangerous (immediately rather than long-term) to smoke.

[sprinkled chariot]

There is no plasma caster ;-;7
Also room with all things does not have weapon mods.

Yeah, I'm sure that if you ran a mod that gives caps weight they were a nice item to carry around.

NO I MUST WAIT!!!
MUST NOT BUY OFF STEAM ATM, MUST NO BUY OF STEAM ATM!!!

Sadly cause I am Aussie, Fallout is selling at around 115$ AUD due to the exchange rate being REALLY shitty at a whole 70c for our $ T_T
But EVERYWHERE is all about Fallout! I don't want this anymore!
