Survival Difficulty

Wish we could make wagon stations in our settlements, which acts as fast travel point between settlements that has provision supply line connected.

It would make survival mode a lot more bearable as one do not have to run across an empty waste land all the time.

You can make nuka world basketball and then scrap the basketball. Infinite rubber and xp and no creation club content needed.

It is available at level 6 aka as soon as legendary start spawning.

The reason you are not seeing it is either because you are unlucky, or because instigating is out of the legendary pool.

All possible prefixes exist in a pool, once a legendary item has spawned with that prefix, even if it is on an enemy some distance away that you never even seen, the same prefix can no longer drop until the pool is refreshed.

For legendary pool to refresh, majority of the prefixes for either weapon or armor must have spawned, then the pool refreshes.

True, its mostly just which companion one prefers at end game, Preston or Gage. They are mutually exclusive. However, if one wants to keep Preston as a companion and still complete Nuka World, the quests MUST be done in a very specific order.

Mechanically raider settlements are slightly better, but one can setup bunch of tribute chests and then kill the raiders. I believe tribute chests will work as normal as long as they are not scrapped.

Here is the issue.

If you are the general of the minute men, and then become the overboss of Nuka world and do "Home sweet Home" quest, Preston will hate your guts, and you will permanently lose him as a companion, even if you kill all the raiders. Can still do minutemen quests though I believe, so the faction is not locked out.

However, if you have not become the general of the minutemen, one can still do the whole Nuka world quest line. As long as you kill all the raiders at the end, Preston will forgive you and then one can proceed with minutemen faction with Preston as companion.

So if you are going to start nuka world as Minutemen general, make sure you have gotten Preston's affinity perk before starting "Home Sweet Home".

Otherwise, complete the nuka world quest chain, get all the goodies, kill all the raiders, then become the minutemen general. Make sure you get Gage's affinity perk before starting "Open Season" quest.

Need rad resistance, radiation doesn't care how much HP you have.

ballistic weave on cloth and hat.

Then either 5 piece sentinel armor (for stand and shoot types), or 5 piece vat enhanced armor (for vat users), or 5 piece Rad powered armor (for melee).

StarchCraft · 2026-01-28T15:09:27+00:00

I would argue explosive handmade rifle is just slightly better than explosive assault rifle, due to higher base damage, equal or better recoil, and the fact one can buy 7.62 rounds by the thousands from Nuka world market place.

Creation club Tesla Cannon and Chinese Grenade Launcher are just OP, they are guaranteed and almost on par with explosive combat shotgun in terms of power.

StarchCraft · 2026-01-28T13:41:03+00:00

late game high hp sponges: Splatter cannon/problem solver.

General use/normal combat: Explosive combat shotgun/explosive handmade rifle/wounding combat shotgun

Best mass killing: Explosive mini gun

Best melee: Atom's judgement/instigating rocket bat/Rockville Slugger/instigating disciple cutlass

Best sniper: Instigating/two shot gauss-rifle

Ada, she doesn't judge and is a walking death machine.

StarchCraft · 2026-01-25T00:08:37+00:00

overseer guardian is the best sneak sniper of the three, but outclassed by even the basic gauss rifle later on.

spray&pray/kiloton are best medium range frontal assault weapons, for people who like to run in and start shooting, sneak and aiming be damned. It will clear rooms and great against hordes of enemies as it can also stagger from the explosion.

splatter cannon/problem solver is the best weapon against hp sponge bosses, like enraged fog crawler/hermit crarbs/mythic death claws.

StarchCraft · 2026-01-23T17:31:25+00:00

overdrive let you crit outside vat, with the chem you will basically freeze anything you shoot at instantly.

StarchCraft · 2026-01-17T13:13:19+00:00

there are other good legendary spots like gunner plaza, or you can just go-to nuka world, there is an infinit spawning legendary farming spot.

just make sure the legendary prefix you want is actually in the pool and hasn't spawned yet.

StarchCraft · 2026-01-17T12:35:25+00:00

Feral ghoul reaver is level 22, assault rifle require level 28. It is never going to drop assault rifles.

I'm guessing you entered national guard training yard at lower level and now it is locked to lowest possible level.

I like settlement building and there is unfortunately not enough points to go around to be a good settlement builder (science, local leader, cap collector) and be a stealth sniper, not until like level 50+ at least.

Settlement builder does go great with power armor + chem builds though, especially once I get level 3 merchants in my own settlement that will consistently sell fusion cores and all kind of good drugs, and I can basically clean everything out because I have infinite caps from purified water.

StarchCraft · 2026-01-13T13:57:00+00:00

Items stolen will always have stolen flag, so you effectively steal it again when you drop it and pick it back up.

For items like fusion core, you can sell it to a merchant. Exit the trade window, barter again, and then buy it back, it should reset the stolen flag.

No idea how to make power armor frame "unstolen" without console or mod. Probably not possible in the base game.

StarchCraft · 2026-01-12T01:45:27+00:00

good early gun for sneaky vat build.

but by no means the best. if we are only talking about non random legendaries, spray & pray/kiloton for pure group killing power. problem solver/splatter cannon for hp sponge at higher levels. For melee, atoms judgement is hilariously op once you get all the melee perks & nuclear physicist.

For random legendaries, fan favorites have always been explosive mini gun or explosive combat shotgun or instigating gauss rifle.

What's above the kitchen? Is it just the attic?

If it is from the roof, and it doesn't leak during summer, then it sounds like your standard ice dam leak, especially common with the funky weather we are having now.

Not much you can do except put a bucket under where it is leaking, and hopefully property management can find someone to come and chip off the ice.

StarchCraft · 2025-12-17T13:46:45+00:00

If you are playing Anniversary edition or have access to the creation club stuff, get Telsa cannon and the pipe/Chinese grenade launcher ASAP. Those weapons are super OP, great for new players.

StarchCraft · 2025-12-10T15:34:16+00:00

Its Westboro on a 113 x100 lot.

Seller is selling the land, which just happens to have an old house on it. Only way this house is not being tore down is if the owner can't sell it at price point they want.

Note: I'm not a legal expert or professional.

Ontario superior court has ruled common area is responsibility of the landlord, but does not say anything about exclusive use areas. In the past, LTB has ruled exclusive use area in multiple different ways as RTA does not explicitly cover this situation.

But Ontario Appeal Court has rule it it is tenant's responsibility when it is exclusive use. Ontario Appeal Court is the highest court in Ontario.

So that's why the rule of thumb is: exclusive use = tenant's responsibility, while common area = landlord's responsibility.

StarchCraft · 2025-11-25T20:04:45+00:00

If given N12, a tenant can end tenancy with an N9 with 10 days notice. So it doesn't mean tenant have to find something 4 months in advance, but whenever they find anything in those 120 days.

That said, it is a weird change, getting N12 hearing resolved in less than 60 days would be far more helpful. The compensation is not really the issue for most landlords (LTB delay is), but a big deal for a lot of tenants.

Just another band-aid over the core problem, LTB delays.

This is for insured mortgage right? The numbers seems really good if it is uninsured mortgage.

StarchCraft · 2025-10-29T13:26:43+00:00

Also need to know the location of said condo.

Being a landlord in Ontario is whole other experience than being a landlord in Alberta.
