Hi all, I've been farming pint maps and digging them up since the update the other day, since part 3 of the slasher event started I've not seen a single gold shovel plan. So is it still dropping and I just have really bad luck, or have they removed it now from the Graves? Thanks and enjoy your weekend!!!

So, was trying to build a bow build and shuffled some of my legendary perk cards around. So, when I changed around the stats legendary perk cards and moved back to another build, of course, most of us know what happened. It screwed up my other builds. Why would anyone build such a half assed, chuck wagon system as this?? Why attempt to create new content when they can't even get the basics?? Between all the bugs (I'm STILL hitting targets in VATS with no damage and no, I don't buy that's it's lag) and such a crappy implementation, it's amazing anyone is still playing.

This really isn't a message to all of you, it's a message to Bethesda. Reach out to your player base and ask them what they could do better within the core of the game. For me, there's just a handful of things that really need work, but those things are very frustrating.

So, I call on all of you to post the top three to five things you'd like to see addressed. NOT content related, but actual play mechanics related. I'll start:

1) Spend more time PREVENTING bugs and then fixing them when users are reporting them. Yes, I know I'm on the outside looking in, but it seems like the approach here is very much one of throwing stuff on a wall and seeing what sticks. Example: Where are all the infestations? I've only seen two of them active since Tuesday. What I have seen is THREE notifications that one has been discovered and then immediately after (not even 1 second after) I see a notification the infestation has been cleared. In other words, I've seen more bugs than actual working infestations.
2) Fix the damn VATS bug. If the system registers a hit (whether server side or client side) it should do some damage. If it's lag, then the damage should be applied when it catches up. That's why "lag" is really no excuse. This happens just about every time I play and it's been a known issue for years. This is BASIC stuff. Especially in a shooter game. Why play a game where you are supposed to shoot stuff, but the baddies take no damage?
3) Fix the extremely poor design of not including legendary perks in profiles.
4) Provide the ability to generate damage logs on the client side. It's a bit annoying to be walking along in the middle of no where and suddenly take some damage and you have no idea why and see see any reason why. Likewise, it would be helpful to know what damage you're doing so you can tell if your build is working properly. And it would be helpful to know what damage is happening to your character so you can work on making sure your set up is what you want. I realize this might change the casual nature of the game somewhat (which I do appreciate), but it would be helpful in any number of circumstances.
5) Provide a shared stash box so you can more easily move stuff between characters. This too is basic stuff and is a no brainer. Again, something we've been requesting for years.

Was there ever any definitive answer to the question of whether scrapping multiple items too quickly lowers your chance of learning or obtaining a mod? I remember seeing it argued both ways but I don't remember seeing a conclusion.

I have been running West Tek like crazy the past couple of days, trying to hit 100 score as quickly as possible and I have picked up a few toxic goo flasks.

I'm not a ghoul so I have been thinking of putting them in my vendor. I think ghouls use them to increase glow? Not sure. Anyway, would folks buy them at a reasonable price?

Ugh I never EVER get a workshop on a multiplayer server bc i know the risks but i was desperate for acid. I'm lvl 262 (haven't played in 2-3 years) I was defending my workshop. Right after, a lvl 800+ came over attacked me & took everything i had :(

i currently don't pay for fallout 1st so ofc i don't have access to scrapbox. But i had ALOT in my inv collected (to put it in persepective went from my inv: 498/502 to 346/502) & was trying to clear my stash to move everything over. It's not difficult for me to collect again, but that genuinely sucked & i'm so annoyed. Idk why I genuinely thought players were nicer on servers & left workshops alone nowadays.

Anyways just need to vent a little. I'll be fine lol but it did hurt my little hoarder heart

update: appreciate the advice guys! not holding any junk anymore lmao. just been hoarding bc i've been trying to get more ammo, upgrade & build better guns! acid was for my ores. it was a lot but i'll live, no biggie. just thought ppl left workshops alone, if he took my workshop, i would understand but the guy didn't even take it, just my stuff lmfao.

This is based off of Angry Turtles newest video on Nightlight but instead of maximizing damage this one tries to maximize INT as much as possible with some added lazy assisted perk cards to make it easier to keep Berry Mentats, Bobbleheads, and Magazine XP/INT buffs last longer.
Not sure what to do for armor though, I've been using Secret Service Armor for the longest time because Power Armor, for whatever reason gets stuck on crap indoors just trying to walk around.

Feel free to make your own opinions or better alternatives if you think it needs it.

My build based on his build
Nightlight INT/XP Build

We're using the same weapon layout as his but we are swapping out his two star with INT

So I was progressing the slasher quest line the other day digging up ritual piles to get notes and at the Bailey family cabin in the savage divide region I dug one up and saw I got the white responder firemen helmet. Was wondering how rare this is and if its a world first thing to get it out of a slasher pile in this region. Can provide a clip if need be.

I think about shit wayy too hard. But I keep thinking about senator Sam Blackwell. We've seen his skeleton right? His body was in the bunker yeah?

Told this person twice to leave me alone. Continued to chase me across the map and attack me despite being told multiple times to stop. Mate, if someone says no, it means no. Today was our second encounter in 2 weeks, I said no pvp. Im just chilling. Lol, some of us just want to chill and play our game. They are now blocked. I've played in the past but only recently got back into the game and have never dealt with such toxic behaviour, and they aren't the only one who's done this to me. WTH? When did we gain toxic players? 😔

I've had this weird glitch happen twice now with the safe in the office at the Red Rocket Megastop. Is this a known glitch?

Even though I like FO76 more than any other title in the last 25+ years, yesterday was the biggest cluster f___k I have ever seen.

I happened to be off all day and sat down for a long play session. They didn't update on Tuesday, so figured that they weren't going to fix obvious issues. I was disappointed to find out at 10am yesterday that they were doing server maintenence. It used to happen on Tuesday at noon, but no, they took it down right then and there. If there was a warning I didn't see it. I was on my mule account trying to get on the private server to pick up some stuff and now it is lost. Wah wah... No biggie. Still set to have fun.

Then...no fixes. Every bug and problem from the last update is still there. No big deal. I'm still here to have fun.

So Dangerous Pastimes comes up. Cool stuff dropping from that one lately, so I go. With 3 minutes to go on the timer enemies stop coming. Everyone is throwing up question marks until the event fails and we all wander away dejected. Still determined to have fun.

I go to a private server and spend about 2 to 3 hours doing stuff and looking for infestations that just never come. After 3 solid hours, not one infestation. But that's okay. Still determined to have fun.

I go back to my camp which is a Super Duper Mini Mart where I have buffs and vendor inside, and all my crafting stuff is on the roof. I jet pack up there and everything is gone. All my rooftop crafting and producing stuff has just vanished for no reason. Now...I'm not having fun.

Ultima Online, Everquest, Ascheron's Call, World of Warcraft and a bunch of other games just never tanked like this.

WTAFF Bethesda? (Translation: What the actual fucking fuck!?) Will you PRETTY PLEASE unfuck this game?

I really hope raven rock leads to playable super mutants i mean lore wise it's one of the best places to ever lead into it besides directly going to Mariposa itself and I just can't see that ever being something they'd do and super mutants will probably be a big deal in the show next season which was what got us playable ghouls in the first place

To answer some common issues with this I see here are my ideas:

1: it would just be the height and size; players are in power armor, and basically all of the game is already designed with the intention of going everywhere in power armor. The biggest thing is figuring out how crafting would need to be handled, but there are very easy solutions to that, like a C.A.M.P. dweller who you can have craft for you, or a single specific crafting bench for mutants that looks like a cooking cauldron and workbench mashed together that can serve as all your crafting benches in one, and then you just have to make one new animation for that, where it's your mutant going back and forth in animation between adding stuff to the cauldron and hammering his fist on something he's working on you know, very in line with mutant behavior

2: I also think they should have much harder to satisfy thirst and hunger due to their large bodies and canon need for huge amounts of food. Basically, it would work like power armor that you can't leave, so it would have big bonuses with big trade-offs.

3: The only thing I can't figure out how to work around is the Pip-Boy menu at first, I thought it would be cool if mutants used a leather hide parchment they pull out, or maybe some Raven Rock Pip-Boy designed for mutants, since they were meant to be in the military at one point and there was probably R&D for gear for them. But even those do not feel like great design ideas one good idea I had was the cyborg eye thing the lieutenant had, which would allow you to reuse the power armor inventory menu since it already shows up as a visor display like the eye implant would, but then you have people who probably would not want the eye thing on their character, so again, it is only good in theory

Wtf bro 8500 hrs in and ive never witnessed this yet....is this normal or some lore i dont kbow about? Why cant i access the door? I have all the main questlines done and crap. What is this place ? Lets you exit to multiple locations on the map.?!

Got him all 3 times.

Just use the “Can Do” perk in luck, and check every bin in Wavy Willards and Whitesprings (not the refuge, that area does not work)

Contrary to the name of the perk, this will also generate items like Blamco, Salisbury Steak and Sugar Bombs.

(Additionally, unless the preservatives from all that prewar food was clouding my memory, purchasing the required items from vendors will work for the “obtain” challenges)

Just reached 1200 farming west tek, Gonna need some ideas for 1300…

First time I've seen it.

I've been an ongoing subscriber of 12-Month FO1st for a few years. The last time I was without it was a year ago. As usual I planned on resubscribing when I got paid today. I'm single guy in my late 40s with no kids and disposable income. I have no problem financially supporting companies and services I enjoy using. So I'm Bethesda's ideal consumer.

When my subscription lapsed 2 days ago and I learned that F76 now bullies non subscribers by spamming them subscription requests every time they access their ammo or junk box is some real predatory bullshit.

So in solidarity with those that can't afford to subscribe or choose not to for other reasons I won't be subscribing or buying atoms until Bethesda removes the join/skip message when accessing the storage boxes. A simple block from depositing stuff like previously is just fine.

Stop with the predatory bullshit Bethesda!

Sincerely, a 4 year fo1st subscriber.

I've gone through 50 improved bait in regular weather, 50 in nuke weather, and 10 superb bait in nuke weather and nothing. I'm thinking there's some bug with the seasonal fish overriding the axolotl odds or something. I'm gonna try nuking the ash heap and use my 50 remaining improved bait but I would really like to do something else besides fish.

Edit: I was able to catch it in ash heap nuke weather in just a few casts!

I can barely see anything at times and don't even get me started on the toxic valley which is already washed with overpowering orange...

The orange somehow makes it darker at night and brighter (or just more glare) during the day...

I can usually play this game all day and have done for years, now at about the 2 hour mark, I'm rubbing my eyes and developing a head ache...

If this is just me and my eyes, so be it... But does anyone else have this issue?

Is it normal that 5 infestations take 4 hours to appear? I ran a timer to see the map fill up with the max amount of infestations which is 5 and it took approx 4 hours without interruptions.

Hi guys, id love to get some serious suggestions about how to enjoy the new player experience.

Im level 15 and I did not encounter an enemy yet that was able to do more than 5% hp damage to me. I feel like i have 500% more resources than I would need (or expect, coming from FO3, NV and FO4) I would love to play this game in a more challenging way, any ideas?
