You'd think Bethesda would figure out how to wrap up a story after all these years

I've spent more time on my settlements than I have everything else combined.

So what is the best way to get people into your settlement.

I have 8 people, 14 beds, 25 defense, 11 food....

I have a recruitment beacon, but I have been stuck at 8 forever.

Everything I have read says it just takes time and progression. I had the drive-in up to 12 and a couple super mutants attacked. Killed off 3, although I'm pretty sure one of the deaths was from my friendly fire.

One of my settlements (Croup Manor) jumped from 12 to 24 before I got a chance to disable the recruitment beacon. Like, I traveled there and the map indicated it had 12 settlers, so I get there to build a few beds and the stats say there are 24

Iv been wanting to tinker with building settlements although i have not yet. The UI for crafting does seem to lack some but it works.

I think im going to continue with all other missions and stock piling "junk" supplies in my workbench until im done. Then go back and build up my settlements.

One cheap way of leveling up fast is to scrap all of the trees and other shite in your settlement to get a ton of wood. Once you have plenty of wood go to the builder screen and select painting and build a ton of them on the walls. You get 4 points so it takes a while but it works. You can scrap them afterwards and get some of the wood back.

The fastest way is by laying mats but you have to have plenty of fabric. The good thing about mats vs. paintings is you can stack them on top of each other so technically you can build a million mats and not even have to move around the room so it goes by much faster.

I figured this one out last night.

Hard reboot the system. It happened to me the very first time I tried to place something. Not realizing it was a glitch, I spent forever researching how to unlock the ability to craft

Honestly the game was released rather buggy. If your controls are set right and its not the actual controller then its a bug in the game. Bethesda is usually rather quick to get updates out and patch issues like this as well as taking input from the player community. Try resetting the system hopefully it works.

Question... Any way to turn off the auto snap feature? Also later in the game, can you build better walls? These holey ones are ruining my sanctuary castle vibe

Not sure what this is.

Nope until the mods come out you are stuck with shitty walls.

So I have a question for "clearing" locations on the map. Some places say [CLEARED] and some places won't. I've killed and looted literally everything in those places but still nothing. Do some locations just not clear like in Skyrim or am I missing something?
