Why do you need outposts with raider dealers?

Having well-populated Outposts with raider dealers set up (shops) will give you access to more money, whether from tribute chests or from simply being able to sell loot in that town.

This prevents you having to put your raider goons to work and ensures they have enough food. Naturally, more supplies should come in as well.

How to get settlements to supply your outposts?

One option is to go all out attack - kill all the Minutemen that arrive to protect an outpost and bring the Settlers down to 0 health, then talk to their representative to secure the settlement as a supplier of food and materials.

The odds go up in your favor if you have Outposts nearby and Nuka World Radio Transmitters should still help with intimidation.

Improving Settlements beforehand will make more Settlers move in than, for example, if you had only 2-3 beds and a lone water pump.

This allows you to make more raider settlements and get much more food from the daily tribute.

How to assign a plant to a settlement?

In Settlement Management, click a Settler then go to your garden. Pick 'assign' with a plant selected. It should say, "This Resource has been Assigned". One Settler can work up to 12 plants or 6 units of food - depending on how many food that plant says it produces. Most produce half a unit, hence the 12. Mutfruit is 1, so a Settler working 2 mutfruit could also work 8 tatos (to reach 6 food). If you start with 5 half food plants, then later plant 7 more, the Settler will automatically take up responsibility for those other 7 plants. Great, huh?

What is the purpose of many items?
