How do I get more food for my Raider settlements?

Building up your Settlements before turning them into vassals, you can feed more raiders with fewer vassals. This allows you to make more raider settlements and get much more food from the daily tribute.

How do I get Raiders to work with Me?

You can select to work with one of the three raider gangs when you attack a settlement. As noted above the difficulty depends on whether you've built there. If you had a Settlement with residents set up with great gear and heavy turrets, it's going to be much harder. You only get 3-4 raiders to work with you.

How do I turn a Raider settlement back into a normal one?

Removing those turrets, you can turn a raider Settlement back into a normal one! Assign one of your raiders to a Tribute Chest. Now you'll periodically have an extra place to pick up money and items during gameplay.

What is the difference between Raider settlements and outposts?

Raider Settlements are called Outposts, to distinguish them from the peaceful towns of law-abiding citizenry. Settlements directed to supply food and materials to your raiders are termed vassals. This Guide will teach you some of the things that differ from the Settlements system, some of which you likely already know.

What does "trying to reclaim a raider settlement" mean?

3/4. Trying to reclaim a raider settlement means killing the raiders means all of them going hostile...

What is a raider settlement?

1. Raider settlements are like normal settlements, except only raiders will show up there. And they hate farming. And they get some different items for you build.

How much vodka is in a booze still?

Booze stills have a 75% of 1 vodka/day, not worth it (require a settler to work them)

How to counteract the happiness penalty?

You can counteract the happiness penalty by building tons of pick me up stations.

Can you enslave Vassal Settlement?

2. Vassal settlement aren't your settlements anymore, but it is like they have a supply line to all your raider settlements. Once you enslave them, you can't really do anything with the settlement.

Can you attack a settlement without them dying?

6. The only time it seems you can attack Settlers without them dying on you, is when you " Do A Raider Job" of forcing a Settlement to be a Vassal, to feed nearby Raider Outposts. You choose this Job specifically, and then you and your desired Raider Faction members waltz in and pull a Terminator 2 on them, taking out all the kneecaps in the Settlement, resulting in converting that Settlement to a Vassal (by force).

Is the Commonwealth compatible with the Dark Side of Raidershipnessing?

7. The Commonwealth and its' inhabitants (and Minuteman faction) is not compatible with the Dark Side of Raidershipnessing, to use the technical term. So, you must totally 'give up' Sanctuary Hills, if you plan to make it a Raider Outpost [also, there are Essentially-Marked NPCs there that must be moved for the game to allow it - if you try to take over a Settlement with Essential NPCs there it will 'not work' in the game]. There are more small details, but I have never made SH a Raider Outpost yet, so I cannot answer them all, sorry.

What is the Wasteland Warlord perk?

The Wasteland Warlord perk offers you the ability to make new things in outposts (actual outposts, not slave supply settlements). Rank 1 and 2 should come with the first and final stages of Home Sweet Home, though you'll have to work your way up to finishing Power Play if you want to get Tribute Chests.

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. You should strike a balance between having Settlements to supply your outposts and actually conquered outposts. 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. As with the conquest of a settlement to claim it as a raider outpost, you can also talk them into supplying you. The odds go up in your favor if you have Outposts nearby and Nuka World Radio Transmitters should still help with intimidation.

What do you get from Nuka World raiders?

Additionally, you will receive caps from the Tribute Chests. All of these things come with notifications, so you don't have to waste time checking.

What is the Nuka World radio transmitter?

The Nuka World radio transmitter helps intimidate settlements and should help attract new raiders to your gangs.

Why do you need to improve settlements?

Improving Settlements beforehand will make more Settlers move in than, for example, if you had only 2-3 beds and a lone water pump. High population settlements cost more to enslave for a reason - they provide more food and building materials. Building up your Settlements before turning them into vassals, you can feed more raiders with fewer vassals. This allows you to make more raider settlements and get much more food from the daily tribute.

What are raider settlements called?

Raider Settlements are called Outposts, to distinguish them from the peaceful towns of law-abiding citizenry. Settlements directed to supply food and materials to your raiders are termed vassals.
