Supply Line Fallout 4: The Ultimate Guide

Fallout 4 is a post-apocalyptic role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. The game was released on November 10, 2015, for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

One of the key features of Fallout 4 is the supply line system. Supply lines allow you to connect settlements and share resources between them. This can be a valuable way to ensure that all of your settlements have the resources they need to survive and thrive.

How to Create a Supply Line

To create a supply line, you must first build a provisioner's post at each settlement you want to connect. Provisioner's posts can be built in the Workshop menu under the Resources category.

Once you have built a provisioner's post at each settlement, you need to assign a settler to work as a provisioner. Settlers can be assigned to work as provisioners in the Workshop menu under the People category.

Once you have assigned a settler to work as a provisioner, they will automatically create a supply line between the two settlements. Provisioners will travel between settlements and share resources between them.

Benefits of Supply Lines

There are many benefits to using supply lines in Fallout 4. Some of the benefits include:

• Increased resource sharing: Supply lines allow you to share resources between settlements. This can be a valuable way to ensure that all of your settlements have the resources they need to survive and thrive.
• Reduced travel time: Provisioners will automatically transport resources between settlements. This can save you time that would otherwise be spent traveling between settlements to trade resources.
• Increased security: Provisioners are armed and can defend themselves from attacks. This can help to protect your settlements from raiders and other enemies.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

There are a few common mistakes that players make when using supply lines in Fallout 4. Some of these mistakes include:

• Not building enough provisioner's posts: Each settlement needs a provisioner's post in order to connect to a supply line. If you do not build enough provisioner's posts, you will not be able to connect all of your settlements.
• Not assigning enough settlers to work as provisioners: Provisioners are the ones who transport resources between settlements. If you do not assign enough settlers to work as provisioners, your supply lines will not be able to keep up with demand.
• Not protecting your provisioners: Provisioners are armed, but they are not invincible. If you do not protect your provisioners from attacks, they may be killed and your supply lines will be disrupted.

Tips for Using Supply Lines

Here are a few tips for using supply lines in Fallout 4:

• Plan your supply lines carefully: Before you start building supply lines, take some time to plan out how you want to connect your settlements. Consider the resources that each settlement has and the resources that it needs.
• Build enough provisioner's posts: Each settlement needs a provisioner's post in order to connect to a supply line. Make sure to build enough provisioner's posts so that you can connect all of your settlements.
• Assign enough settlers to work as provisioners: Provisioners are the ones who transport resources between settlements. Make sure to assign enough settlers to work as provisioners so that your supply lines can keep up with demand.
• Protect your provisioners: Provisioners are armed, but they are not invincible. Make sure to protect your provisioners from attacks by assigning them to settlements with good defenses or by escorting them yourself.
