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.

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.

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.

Can you scavenge for settlements?
Settlers can be assigned to scavenge for you. If you have enough settlements doing it, you basically end up sitting on a pile of hundreds of all item types. If you are the home building type this stuff will go to building more homes/decorations, but if not, you can use it to mod all your weapons/armor for basically nothing. Setting up a recruitment beacon and maybe a turret or two at all the locations you get sent to help by the Minutemen/Railroad takes like a second total, so it's not like it's super taxing.
Is settlement good for us?

Why is the settlement raid mod based on one custom settlement?
The new version of the Settlement Raiding Mod is now based around one custom made settlement (for now) The reason for this is to provide a controlled environment to test Scripts, AI, Raids and Functions.

The mod now has a real foundation on which it can be fully realized and built upon. Once I have re-implemented all the raid types and have fully debugged any problems I will then push the mod back out to cover all settlements.#N#Index

Behind the scenes
- During a game jam session at Bethesda, programmer Michael Dulany developed a system for building and furnishing player bases, which worked its way into Fallout 4 as the settlement workshop system. It was on the verge of being cut for a long amount of time during development, but remained in the game and became one of its tent-pole features.

The result i…
