Raider settlements can't have a caravan system connecting them but seem to share resources except food. Food is sent to the raider settlements by vassals, or you can place food in the workbench yourself. I believe water is shared. Raider outposts get attacked but instead of raiders, it's by The Brotherhood or The Minutemen.

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 set up an outpost in Sanctuary Hills?

While you can absolutely set up a Raider Outpost in Sanctuary Hills, all important people must be moved first - no Presto n there, no other companions either. Boston Airport, Bunker Hill, and The Castle can never be made Vassals or Outposts regardless of conditions and for somewhat obvious reasons given their importance. Someone on reddit asked what happens if you set up an outpost really close to a settlement, so I thought I'd test making Red Rocket an outpost given its proximity to Sanctuary Hills, where all my good guys were stationed. Because the borders are far enough apart, nothing happened. I'm yet unsure how raiders respond to normal supply line caravans.

This isn't really necessary for most situations, but could help if you planned a large building project.
