Crafting is a system in Fallout 4 the player can use to create, upgrade and modify Weapons, Armor and Settlements. Players will obtain various Items as they traverse the Commonwealth which can then be broken down at a Workbench into Materials, converted into mods and applied to gear. Fallout 4: Scavenging Stations Scavenger and Settler Crafting Material Deposits The Scavenger's Station requires an NPC to be assigned to it. They will randomly deposit items to your Settlement's inventory. Scavenger stations are one of the more interesting jobs you can assign to a Settler in Fallout 4, and many people will wonder how it works.

Fallout 4 Power Armour is available in the early hours – a departure from its late-game appearance in previous Fallout titles. That doesn’t mean it’s a game-changer from the off, though. Scavenging the Fallout 4 wastes will have you discover Power Armour in varying states of battle-readiness. Sometimes you’ll need to completely rework the scrap you find in some abandoned garage, and sometimes you’ll find pristine sets of the life-saving plating. Below, you’re going to find a quick guide to how to find, repair and modify your essential defensive equipment, as well as a few locations on where to find some armour to get you started.

There are a few vital things you need to make sure you have in your possession when you step out into the nuke-blasted wilds of the 23rd century Commonwealth. You need a fresh supply of water, you need a powerful gun (with surplus ammo) and you need Fallout 4 Power Armour. Practically everything around you wants you dead: the local flora and fauna have evolved to be indiscriminately lethal, and if you’re not well protected you’ll die in minutes – if not seconds.

Basics

The foundation of the Power Armour suit is a skeletal frame that you can add parts to. To get a complete suit, you'll need to tack on arms, legs, a head, and a torso. You'll also need a Fusion Core to get it moving. If you don't have a core, the suit is basically useless as you're forced to crawl along.

The perks of roaming around in a clunky metal suit are numerous. For a start, you'll take less damage, you won't be injured if you jump or fall from a great height, and the effects of radiation won't be as severe. You'll also be able to carry more items while wearing it.

While all of those bonuses might have you itching to stuff yourself inside of a suit for the entirety of the game, it's worth noting that any action that uses AP points will drain the Fusion Core, and they aren't exactly plentiful. Power Armour is best saved for difficult encounters and quests, and it's advisable to always carry a spare fusion core.

If you leave your suit at a base or out in the wilderness with a fusion core installed, anyone who takes a shine to it can hop inside and take it for a spin. So either be sure to extract the core when you park it up, or you can leave it in so that your settlers can fend off raiders in style.

You'll receive your first Power Armour suit just down the road from Sanctuary, in the town of Concord. Head to the Museum of Freedom and pick up the quest When Freedom Calls. You'll get yourself a free set of Power Armour for your trouble.

Repairs

Once you've got yourself a Power Armour suit, head to a settlement with a Power Armour Station like Sanctuary or the Red Rocket Truck Stop. Whilst wearing the Power Armour, walk yourself into the yellow frame of the station, then press and hold the relevant button to exit.

When you're out, your armour will have automatically reoriented itself to face outwards, ready for tinkering. To interact with the Power Armour station, look at the yellow frame. The options to craft and transfer will now be available to select.

First off, you'll want to repair the components. Interact with the station and scroll down through the list of parts. The health of each part is displayed in a box to the left. If the part is damaged, the repair option will be highlighted at the bottom of the screen. Various materials will be needed in order to repair your Power Armour, but for the most part you'll just need steel which you can easily obtain by scrapping metal items around your settlements.

Mods

To craft the best Power Armour mods, you'll need to invest some points into the Blacksmith, Armourer, and Science! perks.

You can upgrade the base stats of parts by switching between models.

Selecting a material mod will bestow certain attributes - usually when the entire suit is kitted out with the same material mod.

The upgrades for misc mods are generally directly related to the part being upgraded, like increased sprint speed for leg pieces.

Armor Crafting Station Fallout 4 Walkthrough

The materials you'll need for Power Armour mods are the same as those you'd require for regular armour crafting, so be sure to stock up on junk and stash it in your workshop before you hunker down for some serious crafting.

Power Armour Types

You'll notice that there are a few different types of Power Armour available for you to swan around killing everything in. Here are the five types of Power Armour and how you can get them.

Raider Power Armour

The Raider Power Armour is usually found being worn by Raider minibosses, and is the weakest of the sets. You won't be able to extricate their corpses from the armour after a fight, so just take the parts, repair them at a station and pop them onto a suit you already have.

You can find a full set of Raider Power Armour at the waypoint simply named Cave in the Glowing Sea in the southwest corner of the map.

T-45 Power Armour

The T-45 Power Armour is likely the first set you'll come across when you leave Sanctuary. You'll find it in Concord during the quest When Freedom Calls.

T-51 Power Armour

The T-51 Power Armour is the next step up from the T-45, and once you hit level 15, you'll find T-51 parts at locations that would have otherwise spawned T-45 parts.

You can find a full set on a barge to the east of the Pickman Gallery.

T-60 Power Armour

The T-60 Power Armour is next in order of strength, and you can get your hands on it by joining The Brotherhood of Steel. If you don't want to join them, you can buy it at Atom Cats Garage, but it won't be cheap.

X-01 Power Armour

This is the unicorn of all Power Armour - it's the hardest to find and the most powerful of the bunch. If you head to one of the locations for this armour and your level is too low, you'll find the T-60 set instead. Aim for level 30 and above before going in search of this one.

You can buy or steal parts from Rowdy at the Atom Cats Garage. If you'd rather not spend any caps or mess up your karma, the easiest place to get it is at the South Boston military checkpoint.

After taking out a couple of raiders, head around the side of the building and you'll spot the power armour behind a locked door. The set will change depending on your level, so if you're 30 or higher, this is the simplest way to get the best power armour in the game.

The terminal to open it is expert level, so hack it and bask in the magnificence of your new toy.

Alternatively, you can head east of Diamond City, towards Custom House Tower, until you reach Court 35. Take the lift to the top, and after confronting a hardcore Assaultron and Sentry Robot, you'll find the armour on the roof. Press the red buttons in the rooms the robots came out of to access it.

Characteristics

The crafting system has been extensively revamped from the one used previously in Fallout: New Vegas. Rather than taking pre-existing items and combining them, the player now relies on 31 resources to manufacture the items they want. Resources are acquired by taking junk items to a workbench and simply manufacturing the desired items. The game automatically breaks down junk and allows for storing unused junk in workshops for later use. While a list of in-game crafting recipes is available from the portal page, there is also a list of crafting recipes drawn directly from the game files.

Initially, weapons and armor cannot be crafted at workbenches, but can be extensively upgraded. However, with the Contraptions Workshopadd-on, certain weapons and armor can be manufactured using the appropriate builder.

All resources (and items) are shared between workbenches and crafting stations within a settlement,^[1] and can be shared between settlements by establishing a supply line using the Local Leaderperk.^[2] Unassigned settlers will automatically scavenge for resources,^[3] and scavenge more when their level of happiness is elevated.^[4]

Weapons and weapon modifications

In the base game alone, there are over 50 weapons and over 700 individual modifications that can be made at the weapons workbench, including different receivers, sights, barrels, stocks, magazines, grips and muzzles. Melee and unarmed weapons may be modified with different materials as well as attachments that pierce armor or cause bleeding damage.

However, unlike in Fallout: New Vegas, there is no ammunition crafting at first. An ammunition plant from the Contraptions Workshopadd-on is required to craft ammunition, but this is limited to conventional ammunition for firearms only.

Armor modification

A base layer of clothing can be worn under various armor pieces for the chest, right and left arms, and right and left legs, in addition to headgear. These armor pieces can be modified at any armor workbench to improve overall damage resistance, as well energy and radiation resistances, the armor's weight and visibility, and other miscellaneous bonuses. Additionally, certain clothing items can be modified with the ballistic weave modification, increasing their damage resistance.

Power armor modification

Furthermore, the helmets, chest pieces, arms and legs of power armor can be mixed and matched at a power armor station to customize the suits appearance, level of protection, weight, and statistic boosts. Additional upgrades can also be added for power armor that grant many other miscellaneous bonuses, such as enhanced unarmed damage, visual and targeting capabilities, sprinting and hauling capabilities, and even a jet pack.

Cooking

Cooking stations allow the Sole Survivor to create 'home-cooked' meals from the meat gathered from creatures, and plants from the wild or farms. This station also allows the production of vegetable starch, an adhesive.

Chemistry

Chemistry stations allow the Sole Survivor to create various chemical compounds, medicine, explosives, and syringerammunition. It can also be used to create cutting fluid, a source of oil. In subsequent add-ons, traps, medicinal sludge, fireworks, and other variants of ammunition can be created.

Settlement

Not only can one disassemble wasteland junk to find spare parts, but entire structures of a settlement can also be demolished to gain building materials like concrete, rubber, steel and wood in order to create walls, floors, roofs, stairs, and even prefabricated shacks at the workshop to expand a settlement. Within a building, beds, furniture, and containers can be made, in addition to wall decorations (like mounted animals) and various floor coverings. In addition, as time goes on and the settlement becomes more hospitable, people will begin to inhabit the settlement and various trade caravans will come through as traders. With ranks in Local Leader, stores can be erected and supply lines can even be established to connect two or more settlements.

When developing a settlement, a 'town bar' relays information about the town, measuring the number of people, how much food, water and power the town produces, how secure the town is, how many beds there are in town, and the general happiness of the settlement.

The settlement can be expanded by planting plots of crops and tapping into groundwater, as well as creating generators that can be used to power lights and other technologies. Terminals can be made to connect all of the objects on the power grid and control them all from one place. Some defensive technologies are powered by this power grid and are almost mandatory because a majority of settlements will be attacked by raiders, super mutants and Gunners at one time or another. These defenses include guard posts, conventional, laser, and missile turrets, as well as various traps.

Furthermore, every add-on added various elements to the settlement crafting system, such as new furniture or decorations; however, the Wasteland Workshop, Contraptions Workshop, and Vault-Tec Workshop add-ons were specifically geared to expanding workshop mode beyond these basic categories and added new categories of their own.

Robots

Armor Crafting Station Fallout 4 Location

With the Automatronadd-on, the robot workbench allows one to create a myriad of robotic companions using modular parts. The Robotics Expert perk also becomes more useful given that several robotic modifications require more extensive knowledge of automatrons than others.

Contraptions

With the Contraptions Workshopadd-on various nonessential albeit amusing thingamajigs can be constructed, including ball tracks, armor and weapon racks, firework and firework launchers, and marquee signage.

However, as discussed previously in this article, various builders can also be constructed to manufacture a wide variety of helpful goods, including weapons, ammunition, explosives, armor, clothing, and food. Conveyor belts can also be made to carry these junk items and resources to these builders.

Nuka-Cola blends

A background element of the Nuka-Worldadd-on is the ability to mix the nine variants of Nuka-Cola to create special blends that provide unique statistic boosts via the Nuka-Mixer station.

Behind the scenes

According to Todd Howard, the settlement crafting mechanic was at least partially inspired by the development team playing a lot of Minecraft.^[5]
