You can make every settlement in the Commonwealth either a raider base or vassal (with a few exceptions) and then betray the raiders, kill them all, and retake the settlements back for the MM. Retaking the bases is just a matter of clearing/killing the raiders. Reclaiming the vassal farms requires doing a quest nuch like the initial MM claiming #6

You'll have to kill them manually (no VATS). Once all the Settlers are dead, the Settlement returns to normal - the icon on the map even changes back. Now you can go to Shank and get a quest to turn it into a Raider Settlement, or else rebuild it as a normal settlement by interacting with the workshop.

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.

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.

Do you need supply lines for raider outposts?

Although raider outposts do not need supply lines because their stuff is automatically shared across all locations, you can still establish supply lines - but only with Automatron. Make a robot workbench in one of your outposts, then enter the workshop menu like you would normally in order to set up a supply line. You'll be able to select only normal settlements, but can indeed access their building materials. This isn't really necessary for most situations, but could help if you planned a large building project.
