Uhm you probably know those tips on loading screen, now guess who wants to draw them as survival journal pages 🤣

This is the first, and I feel like, it's far from perfect.

how to attach scaffolding ramps to normal floors in Fallout 4

Because apparently they just had to make it complicated even though it really doesn’t need to be.

[ID: Several pictures showing the same image, being changed over time. The first shows a grid that is four across and five high of grey tiles, with four at the top lighter grey than the rest. The darker grey ones are in a red box, and the lighter ones are in a brown rectangle, except for third box in from the left, which has an arrow pointing at it, with text that says “If you want the ramp to go here...”

The next image has had the grey box turned white, and the instructions read, “Remove the tile you want the ramp to connect to.”

The next instruciton is: “Go to the Wooden floors, and pick the quarter tile. Place it in the back of the empty space.” The white box now has a smaller brown box in the back left corner, taking up a quarter of the space.

The next step is to “Go to Scaffolding floors, and select teh half tile, and place it across the front of the empty space”. There is now a long yellow rectangle in the front of the brown tile, taking up the whole front of the box.

The next step reads, “Go to Scaffolding stairs, and attach two ramps without railings.” The new image shows a blue trapezoid with a line down the middle in front of the yellow rectangle, representing a ramp as seen from above.

The next step reads, “Remove the scaffolding and wooden floor tiles that were in the empty space”. The white tile is now empty again, with the blue ramp still in place in front of it.

The final step reads, “And put back the original floor tile”, and the picture shows that the white square has been filled back in with light grey, making it look the same as the first picture, now with the addition of the ramp.

End ID.]

Fixed Croup Mannor's upper floor with the blood tile and one (1) barn half tile.

Jump to the broken roof, line up a blood tile with the corner, and hope for the best.

The one barn wall won't go in all the way, so I put a half wall at the top and glitches the bottom in by group selecting it with a floor mat.

Water Filtration Caps Stash

There’s an unmarked location east of Sanctuary Hills! There’s a piece of machinery on the riverbank, and if you follow a tube uphill, you’ll find a yellow filtration unit. There’s a skeleton leaning against it with some junk around him, and if you climb on top of the unit, you’ll find a small box of goods.

At the riverbank, flip the circuit breaker. Then, uphill, open the filtration unit to find some hidden caps!

The Purpose of Folders

Folders in Fallout 4 are, at first glance, useless. The miscellaneous item can’t be scrapped for parts and isn’t part of any quest, but there is a point to collecting them: they weigh nothing and can be sold for 1 cap... so carry them as currency! Think of them as caps in a different form.

This is sort of old news, but when you’re just beginning the game, bring Dogmeat back to Vault 111 and ask him to fetch a weapon; he’ll grab the Cryolator, and you won’t have to wait until you’re leveled up enough to pick the lock.

Pipboy Games

Fallout 4 has a handful of games you can collect and play on any terminal or with your Pipboy. Each one is a parody of a real-life game. You can find five in the Wasteland:

Pipfall

(Pitfall) Found at Fort Hagan

Grognak and The Ruby Ruins

(Bard’s Tale/Ultima) Found in the basement of the Memory Den in Goodneighbor

Zeta Invaders

(Space Invaders) Found in the Diamond City Market

Red Menace

(Donkey Kong) Found in Vault 111

Missile Command

(Atomic Command) Found in the Museum of Freedom

Okay so

-When you get to a new settlement that already has crops planted (Oberland Station, Abernathy Farm, ect), if you want to re-organize the crops, you need to STORE them instead of just picking them up and putting them in the new spot. 

If you just pick them up and move them, they’ll probably end up glitched, so that the game still thinks they’re in the original spot.

Also known as, “I am pointing right at this Tato Plant, why isn’t it selected?” and, “I’m pointing at bare dirt, why does it say there’s a Tato Plant here??” and “There’s nothing blocking this corn, why won’t it go here???”

Store all original crops, and then move them to their new places.
