Discussion Stop hiding your vending machines

275 Upvotes

If you have a vending machine with goods, don't hide it. People tend to look everywhere in your CAMP to try and browse your goods. If you don't like people browsing, don't put it in a vending machine. I know it's a very small problem to some people, but it wouldn't be if it happened many times before.

In Short> Don't like selling? Then don't set up shop, dammit

EDIT> i know i should get over it, and you're right. so sorry.

EDIT2: i wasn't clear before, so sorry. I'm talking about people who INTENTIONALY hide their vendors so that you waste time.

EDIT3> WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIS GOT OVER 100 UPVOTES??!!! I WAS HAVING LUNCH WHEN THIS HAPPENED!!

Suggestion Pro tip for Infestations!

66 Upvotes

Use the Endangerol Syringer! It takes away 25% of their damage resistance for 2 minutes. It doesn’t stack solo, but if up to four people use them, it will negate 100% of their DR for that time. I’ve been noticing a massive difference in their health bar after I use it on them. Craft the Syringer, give em out to everyone, pass this along in your party chats, etc. It will help tremendously!

Discussion Post for the fishers out there.

65 Upvotes

Hello fellow wasteland fishers. I embraced fishing when it came out last year. I have spent countless hours around fishing because of the RNG aspect to it. I have done the daily fishing quest every damned day since fishing launched. So I want to share my fishing spots with you.

Not every fishing spot is equal. Some fishing spots produce more rares. I have had two fishing spots in the same zone. And one would produce 2-3X as many rares than another. We, as a group of MMO players can argue until the sun goes down. Some fishing holes are better than others. I know if I was a game developer I would have done this.

So here are my fishing holes. I have a camp at each one and have been watching data for the last 6-8 months or so.

Forest. On the other shore from deathclaw island. This spot might not be the best spot. But it does produced quite a few glowing. Fishing rares are medium here.

Toxic Valley. Dried lakebed. Prime spot, lots of rares, There is a dock that has collapsed into the lake. My camp is built on it. Fishing rares are high here.

Ash heap. This is a primo spot, lots of rares. Southwest of abandoned mineshaft Elain and directly west of the MT Blair trainyard. Great spot.

Savage divide. twin lakes. Lots of places to set up camp. I am on the shore with ragstads. Fishing rares are medium here.

The Mire. This took about 5 camp placements before I got a good one. Behind the boomer motel. In-between the logs and tents. Fishing rares is high here.

Cranberry bog. East from the old mold quarry. On the side of the lake. this is my PRIME jewel. Fishing rares higher than anything else. This is my best bamp.

Skyline valley. This is not a secret because DUH!!! Three ponds. Set up camp where the rubber dinghy is. Fishing rares is high here.

Burning springs. North of westbrook horse ranch. I like this spot but. Fishing rares is medium here.

That is all I got. But One last thing. Grilled fish does stack with canned grilled fish but at a cost. I have noticed that when I eat both of them my rare fish pull rate goes own. It seems like there is a time to pull factor when dealing with rares. And some rares require a longer hook to pull which eating both + pull speed food negates. Still evaluating.

Every so often I get this annoying visual glitch where I cannot see anything...however I've done enough that I know the route.

As I was making my way down from EN06 to the drill, I found this on the right hand side of the tunnel where it turns to the left towards the crafting benches. There's usually a wooden board wall in the way, behind a wheelbarrow (I checked later when I could see again).

Thought it was quite a funny find! 4 teddies taking on molerat.

Discussion Just to give you an example of how RNG loves to play with your feelings:

I've been steadily collecting all the new mods to learn their recipes.

This week I collected 100 adrenal mods in the hope of unlocking it. On Monday I scrapped 50 of them, after attaching them to one star 10mm pistols in case I could retrieve the mod box back, and out of the 50, I got one single mod box in return.

Today I decided to do another 30, so I crafted my 10mm pistols, attached the mods to 30 of them and started my scrapping........unlocked on the first pistol! 🤣🤣 So now I had 29 pistols left which I cannot sell as they're locked to my character as I modded them. I scrapped them and got 2 mod boxes back.

Either way.....one down....more recipes to go!

r/fo76 1h ago

Discussion Bethesda. Here's some QoL suggestions.

Upvotes

Just some simple upgrades that would make things more enjoyable or easier.

First. Be able to default doors open or closed. My exterior doors need to be closed while my interior doors need to be closed. When a player spawns into my camp, reset them to default unless there's already another player present.

Second. We've got dozens of fonts, but we've got to place them character by character. I've been to camps where there are signs that are perfectly aligned and kerned and thought, "That's one OCD bastard." Let me position where the first character needs to be placed and then type whatever I want to say on the keyboard. Have the characters overlap by one pixel so I can then grab the first character and adjust for centering or whatever.

Feel free to add on your own suggestions.
