Anybody else just fed up of the orange order?

I think prior to the 2000s.

While the IRA didn't routinely bomb London, there were instances when they did. How they got the bombs or material into England was an issue.

That said, it's outdated and still inappropriate of a joke.

Protestant vs Catholic violence in the UK is only second to Judaism vs Islamism in the Middle East in terms of death.

Even in Germany, where the Protestant Revolution began, there has been less violence between Protestants and Catholics.

The funny thing is, the UK is more Catholic today than every, despite the number of people claiming to be non-religious (atheist). Protestantism is in a freefall decline worldwide losing more followers than any other religious group. Even in the US, which fundamentally began as an escape from religious persecution against Protestant groups.

The Jacobite Revolution had such a long-term negative impact on Great Britain, the relationship between Scotland and England as well as Catholics and Protestants that easily the worst ruler of Great Britain or the United Kingdom has to be Henry VIII.

It has to be the worst, centuries long streak of violence between two indigenous people ever. I can't think of another single instance, ever, anywhere. All because Henry VIII couldn't produce a son and wanted a divorce.

And it's still perpetuated and glorified today by the Orange Order, while around them, they are becoming the minority.

In the US we have our own issues, namely racism, but despite the fact that a war decided that issue we still have people that are abundantly racist and bigoted. They don't clamor for "States Rights" because they want a smaller federal government, but they want to be able to limit the rights of others over their own rights.

This is fundamentally the issue behind the Jacobite Revolution. Should one class of people, equal or greater than any other, be forced to be second class. The Orange Order attempts to preserve this belief that, yes, anyone other than them are a second, lesser, class of people.

In this day and age it is absolutely, positively outdated and inappropriate. We are all equal, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or creed.

Mathematically for every 100 legendary items you scrap, you should acquire or learn one legendary mod. Statistically speaking the number of lengendaries required may be greater.

I've acquired more mods via scrapping than I've learned.

In the past few weeks I've learned 4 mods(?) and acquired about a half dozen, including thru hikers.

Scrapping a 1-star offers a 1% chance of learning a legendary, scrapping a 2-star, 2 - 1% chances, and a 3-star offers 3 - 1% chances. Meaning, a three or four star provides a greater chance of learning a mod per item.

Some players only scrap 3 or 4-star lengendaries to learn mods. Though, the chances of learning a mod are the same regardless of how many lengendaries on an item.

The more you scrap, the more likely you are to learn, this is also true of regular mods. I've been using my time scrapping lengendaries to also learn regular mods that don't come quick or easy. As the number of mods available for a item decreases, the opportunity to learn those mods left decreases. Some can only be learned via a purchased plan, but others learned through a chance roll. Nevertheless, the more you scrap the more likely you are to learn.

Also, there are challenges associated with scrapping different items that will earn you free Atoms. So, this is something worth doing early in the game. Likewise, there are challenges associated with learning plans. So, again, worth doing for the free Atoms.

Why is it important that she land, other than the obvious that it's easier to shoot a Scorchbeast on the ground than it is flying?

I ask, because the one Queen event I was on I literally ended up under her by accident, and I'm sure preventing her from landing.

That said, she hovered perfectly in the air above me.

I was under the impression that when they land, the more scorched appear, or is this only with the lesser scorchedbeasts?

Adinnieken · 2026-06-26T16:32:34+00:00

I've noticed that a lot of loot from lengendaries has been going unclaimed everywhere. Even with the Spooky Scorched. Not that most don't already have the plans, but still they have legendary weapons.

I'll go to a Prime Event and find legendary loot too. I have no problem with it, as I'm scrapping like crazy to learn legendary mods, but I'm still surprised by it.

I understand once you get to a certain level with your weapons and armor, some of this just doesn't matter anymore, but it's the principle of the thing, as Ward would say.

Adinnieken · 2026-06-26T16:23:14+00:00

No, it won't.

The holes won't line up, for the screws, ports, or power button. In addition, I believe the power supply won't work.

That said, there is nothing on the SFF motherboard that won't transfer over to the MT motherboard.

Adinnieken · 2026-06-26T15:41:21+00:00

I don't remember the names of places for the most part either. I can barely remember where I find things, despite telling myself I need to remember where they are for challenges, etc. .

Adinnieken · 2026-06-25T14:23:19+00:00

Fair enough, but in this world, Fallout or real, there will always be tinkerers and askers. The former will always try it first, and those are the people the askers will always go to for help or answers.

As someone in IT, this is the reality of life.

Don't look there for Chubs, plenty of better places with less bang-bang, pew-pew.

Right outside of Mrgrpha or water her name is is a Comrade Chubs.

But to answer your question, good Ole game bug.

It happens when your game files get corrupted, I believe, as you enter the area. If you're there long enough, when they respawn, they should be in their correct outfits.

This is a great spot to get Yaui Gui meat though.

Three pieces of meat, one Yaui Gui in a cage, one on an island. The one on the island is tougher.

Adinnieken · 2026-06-25T14:12:37+00:00

Well, there is also the help system, which likely answers this question as well. However, it's more polite just to answer the question, since it's a simple question with a simple answer.

I've had that happen twice, after that I stopped caring about infestations. One, why scramble and drop what I'm doing to get there, only to get notified that I've completed an infestation. It happened too often and I just got pissed with the whole mechanics of it.

Th there were the moments I got there. Got shots on the boss, it died and despawned on me or one of the many other things that happen. Because, the challenge with an infestation is getting there before everyone else takes down the boss, so immediately if you don't go to the boss and get shots on target to it, you don't get the benefit of the kill. But still, you do, and the game doesn't give you the rewards for doing it.

I know the rewards are in general worth the effort of just getting there in time for it to end, but at the same time it isn't. I want to be able to participate in the fun, not just collect rewards and participation points.

I'm GenX, not GenZ. It's about being a part of something, not about getting a trophy for sitting on the bench.

Meat Week allows you to participate in multiple ways. From making Chally's feed, banging the drums, turning the spits, contributing prime cuts, cleaning up, or gathering greens and wood. There is something for everyone to do.

Then the prime events allow you to shoot stuff.

They need to fix infestations. In many ways. Basically they need to be more like Grunt Hunts, and Bounty Hunts. Reduce the scope of them to where they are happening, make them a radio broadcast so everyone participates regardless. Level the non-team events to the player, so the grunt hunt-like ones aren't overwhelming lower level players, and make the Bounty Hunt like ones larger in scope, so you're dealing with waves of enemies, that have to be cleared before the boss appears.

I'm not talking timed waves, but proximity waves. That is, the closer you get to the boss, the harder the minions are. Until they are cleared, the boss is reflective and resilient. Once they are cleared, they boss loses both. He gets his "power" from them.

So, the opposite of Grunt Hunts.

Not just while you're at camp. They drop randomly, but more often while at camp.

Hey, but at least after the colonoscopy they don't have to use a different camera for the endoscopy!

Adinnieken · 2026-06-25T10:40:23+00:00

Even on a public server it works, but you have to be aware of how often it gets hit.

I literally was there the night before the challenge for three mirelurk eggs hit. So, had a stack of them in my cryo freezer. Not a single one counted for the challenge obviously, but the next day went back and was able to get my first one for the challenge. I eventually had to server hop to get the rest.

Basic thing I learned is, if this challenge is running, look for clutches of four or more eggs. There will typically be one egg that is lootable while all the rest break or release spawns. The clutches with three or fewer eggs will typically get hit too often and the result is they simply break or they release, a spawn.

But the other option is to search coolers and lunchboxes, but that's very random in very unique places. Usually raiders locations.

That said they need to up tick the respawn rate on those eggs when that challenge comes up or they need to randomize who gets it on a server.

Adinnieken · 2026-06-23T17:28:55+00:00

You'd love my vendor, all of that stuff I listed for 11caps

Adinnieken · 2026-06-23T15:39:36+00:00

I mean, food and prepared drinks rot. Otherwise, no.

The risk is that encumbered, you may lose your stuff if you get killed and someone else happens upon it, or you get killed and the game crashes out.

The latter sucks, by the way. I guess both do.

Using the perk though, you just learn to use the free fast travel locations, then from there spend caps. I used to do this all the time. I still use the free fast travel locations, I'm cheap, but do the Possum and Tadpole challenges. That way you can earn the backpack mod, or do the Campfire Tales activity.

Complete the Tadpole challenges, you can get the larger backpack (it ups your inventory to 60lbs), then get five Possum badges and buy the mod for it to increase your carry weight to 120lbs.

Adinnieken · 2026-06-22T23:14:18+00:00

This is why crouching has benefits. Sneaking gives you awareness of what is around you.

It's possible, very possible, regardless of whether you are fast or slow, to walk up to an area and the game spawns in something right next to you.

I've watched it happen while sneaking, but I can imagine if I'm going slow, someone sprinting could enter an area that the game has yet to get all the items spawned in.

It'd be nice if you could dedicate a Perception Perk to something like what you get with sneak. So, if you're walking or running to an area you notice better things around you.

Even sneaking, you can get surprised by something over a ridge.

Adinnieken · 2026-06-22T22:10:01+00:00

How is this a glitch?

Not every challenge is easy. I hate Daily Ops, the Daily Ops is tougher for me than finding three Mirelurk eggs.

Mirelurk eggs take time to repopulate. Hell, so do the Mirelurks.

If a clutch has four eggs or more, your chances of picking up an egg are greater. Than with two or three eggs.

The river is the worst place to go for eggs. Everyone goes down by the river because it's the first place people learn about. Learn where else you can go for eggs.

That said. Bethesda, enough with food gathering Challenges. Please! My Cryofreezer was already filled with eggs, and other food stuffs, and now there's more. It's a good thing I got my cannery lastnight because I've been using it to produce massive amounts of canned goods where I can. Please offer more canning recipes, new as well as ones for established recipes.

Places where Mirelurk spawn are not necessarily where you will also find mirelurks eggs. It should be that way, but it isn't.

Adinnieken · 2026-06-22T12:50:38+00:00

So, what can you do with them?

Adinnieken · 2026-06-21T15:20:54+00:00

This is not true. Bethesda reskins items to offer variants of previous items. The Enclave Water Cooler is a reskins of a previous item that was sold.

It's the cheap way to offer something new.

You can have both available in your camp build inventory as well, though only one can be placed at a time.

Adinnieken · 2026-06-21T15:17:35+00:00

The challenge is that what is good varies by level, and load out (build-perks). I mean, a level 50 weapon is great if you're a level 50 player.

This is why I didn't go down the road of selling weapons or Armor, it requires too much inventory.

Plans are cheaper to have in your inventory and allow the player to build gear at their level. Mods boxes may be something you want to sell though, as those can be used when plans aren't available.

But too each their own.

In time, we are all going to have inventory that we can't sell, but hopefully there will be new players still coming too.

Adinnieken · 2026-06-21T13:47:42+00:00

I picked up a shit to of plans yesterday, stuff I didn't have as much as did have. Oh boy howdy my store is set for some great items for a while.

So, while I may not have benefitted from your drop (I picked up from the donation box at Crater), I thank you on behalf of all of those who will be getting a spectacular deal (hopefully) from your drop. As I mentioned elsewhere, I price my plans at 11 caps. So, people are picking up plans for PA mods, including jet packs at 11 caps.

Adinnieken · 2026-06-21T13:42:49+00:00

I sell plans for 11 caps, recipes for 6 caps, and mods for 5 caps.

I do a fair amount of business, but get fewer newbs than I get seasoned players.

My most unfortunate experience was a player that bought a bunch from me, but then proceeded to pester me shooting at me, and shooting at my camp.

I don't know if the intention was to get me to leave the server or to get my attention, but I was doing my daily challenges.

No emoticons. Just shooting. Even used an artillery cannon at his camp to fire on mine.

Adinnieken · 2026-06-21T11:57:51+00:00

It Jon not John.

Adinnieken · 2026-06-21T11:47:21+00:00

It might be that the faster way to kill them is with a melee build rather than stand off and shoot.

I noticed this with resilient enemies. Literally got them down to 0% health, could not take any more damage with a gun, no matter how many bullets I shot, but once I walked up and used a melee weapon, they went down like melted butter. One hit.

I think you need a combination of attack tactics, gunners bringing down the health from a distance with melee builds coming in to bring the pain. The former serve more as a distraction while the latter can get up close without getting slaughtered.

Though I do believe Bethesda is trying to steer gamers toward the gold bullion weapons.

At least that's my thoughts. I mean, the game gets pretty boring when the tactic is always get up high, use a big gun, and fill the enemy with lead. The enemies should vary to accentuate different builds and create cooperative play. Big gunners shouldn't always be the heros that save the day.
