I've just been barely engaging with the system, mainly just doing the bare minimum of what it wants, and it's been paying back to me in dividends. It's far less lost Fusion Core if you depart from the Drive In then it is if you only store/repair your Power Armor in Sanctuary. Again, now when you get quests from Sanctuary/the near locals, you can run over to the Drive In, grab your Power Armor, and go from there. Once you take the Drive In, set up a stronghold there, with turrets/workbenches/a new Power Armor stand/etc. Build up a few defenses around the Red Rocket, store your Power Armor there, suddenly you don't have to walk as far in your Power Armor.
Or you can use them as forward moving strongholds if you don't want to fast travel ( I dislike fast travelling ). Your settlers sell to you at an extreme cost, and when you add in the benefits of Spender 2/any Tales of a Junktown books, you can easily end up buy thousands of rounds of ammo for ~100 caps off your storefronts. If you lean into Local Leader and build the storefronts, you can also use that to get basically thousands of free ammo. Setting up a recruitment beacon and maybe a turret or two at all the locations you get sent to help by the Minutemen/Railroad takes like a second total, so it's not like it's super taxing. If you are the home building type this stuff will go to building more homes/decorations, but if not, you can use it to mod all your weapons/armor for basically nothing. If you have enough settlements doing it, you basically end up sitting on a pile of hundreds of all item types. Settlers can be assigned to scavenge for you. but why? if it's just a closed loop with no impact on any other system in the game, why does it exist? Unless there's actual value in having more settlers, it just seems like a pointless feature. Too many attacks lower settler happiness and make it harder to recruit more settlers I guess. 99% of the objects in my settlement are vanilla objects, so good news if you want to try and duplicate it.The only real consequence seems to be happiness. Welp, this is pretty much the most expansive settlement I’ve created yet – a Bioshock-themed settlement modeled off the sky city of Columbia! It took foreverrrrrr (about twice as long as my Mass Effect-themed playerhome mod and my Glass Treehouse playerhome mod combined!) … especially those fucking lightbox hot air balloons! :D Watch the video for some Bioshock-y goodness, then scroll down if you want to see the list of mods I used.
**UPDATED** Uploaded my Bioshock paintings mod and the save file for the Bioshock settlement if anyone wants them! Thanks to Faolan Art Exchange for making the ESP for the custom paintings – I just redid all the textures into Bioshock ones :D
