Automatron

The first Fallout 4 DLC released was Automatron, and as the name suggests, it was all about robots. Automatron sees the sole survivor investigating the mysterious Mechanist, with a variety of new supporting characters introduced.

Wasteland Workshop

The second DLC for Fallout 4 is an expansion of the workshop. Settlement building was a new mechanic introduced in Fallout 4, and some players quickly got creative with it. As such, additional items to craft were welcome additions; the Wasteland Workshop adds quite a few of these, including the ability to build cages to trap animals and enemies.

Far Harbor

Far Harbor is the most well-received Fallout 4 addition. This DLC introduces multiple factions and a host of new characters, including Fallout 4 favorite, Nick Valentine. What players love about Far Harbor is its complex narrative with multiple choices that feel closer to what fans love about the Fallout series overall.

Contraptions Workshop

The Contraptions Workshop DLC adds even more buildable items for settlements, such as display racks for armor and weapons.

Vault-Tec Workshop

By far the most exciting feature in Fallout 4's fifth DLC, Vault-Tec Workshop, is that players can build their own vault. Since the vault shelters are iconic parts of the Fallout franchise, the gimmick of being able to build them was enough to sell many players on this DLC.

Nuka-World

Fallout 4's final story addition, Nuka-World, didn't quite live up to previous story additions. Like Far Harbor, Nuka-World introduces new locations, characters, and factions, but many players feel that the storyline was like any other quest rather than Fallout 4's big conclusion.

High-Resolution Texture Pack

The final DLC released for Fallout 4 is only available on PC and is simply a texture pack to make the game look better.

How to find the mechanist in the Survivor?

In order to locate the Mechanist, the Sole Survivor needs to triangulate the signal being sent to RoboBrains—a model of robot with a human brain as a central processing unit—the units controlling each individual cell of robots. After recovering the receiver devices from two RoboBrains overseeing scavenging operations, the Sole Survivor confronts the Rust Devils, a gang of raiders notorious for stripping robots for parts, in order to recover the third transponder. The Sole Survivor meets Jezebel, a RoboBrain unit held captive by the Rust Devils, and she agrees to help in exchange for building her a new body when they escape.

The Sole Survivor travels to a former submarine base to recover DiMA's memories and learns that he put in place a series of fail-safes to protect Acadia and to preserve the balance of power between Far Harbor and a cult of the Children of Atom who have occupied the base. These are the access codes to a nuclear warhead, stored within the Nucleus, and the means to sabotage the fog condensers protecting Far Harbor. The Sole Survivor also discovers that DiMA murdered Captain Avery and replaced her with a synth to maintain peace between Far Harbor and Acadia. At this point, the player is faced with a choice: to destroy Far Harbor, to destroy the Children of Atom, inform the people of Far Harbor of DiMA's crime and start a war with Acadia, or, depending on the story's progress back at the Commonwealth, inform any of the three main Factions there and let them decide their fate themselves. Alternatively, the player may establish a more permanent peace between all parties by assassinating or chasing away High Confessor Tektus, and allowing DiMA to replace him with a synth who will adopt a more moderate stance towards Far Harbor.

How to unlock East of Covenant?

How many raiders can you get in a settlement?

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 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 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.

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.

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. This Guide will teach you some of the things that differ from the Settlements system, some of which you likely already know.

How often do tribute chests generate?

Tribute Chests generate things every 5 days. They can contain legendary items (at a rate of 5%), but if one does generate a legendary it will not do so again for another 30 days. You must check regularly as the chest can never hold more than 1,000 caps worth of valuables. Tribute chests are wonderful things and combined with the money that gradually accumulates in the Overboss chest back at Fizztop Grille, it's an excellent benefit. Is it worth the tradeoff for what you get for having Settlements? I don't know. I'd prefer a bit of both myself.
