If they had said FO4 specifically I could understand. But as a whole? Dude only two games in the whole series have survival elements in them, and they're not even the best Fallout games. They are, arguably, the worst.
Yeah... while FO4 can revolve heavily around settlement-building, many (even most) players choose to avoid getting heavily-invested in it beyond what the game requires and choose, instead, to focus on the quests.
I'm not one of those people (i get obsessed with settlements), but most don't.
Must be a sizable number still since they bothered to put it in starfield too for the sake of it, don't even have to waste your time defending against raiders.
oh, i'm not saying that it's not a popular concept. i think it may have something to with FO4's somewhat janky building system. Soooo many mods have been released to address its shortcomings. I can only hope that, in the years since, other games have done a much better job implementing the concept. FO4 would have been even better had the settlement-building tools (and the concept-integration itself) been better.
Yes, it's called SimSettlements (now SimSettlements 2), and is pretty great. it manages the settlements, resources, and the settlers and sets them all about building up and maintaining your settlements for you rather than you having to constantly come back to each one and do all that yourself, which would be nearly impossible (without cheats) to keep them all up if you had more than, say, 10 or 12 of them. It's pretty advanced, but is also pretty resource-hungry.
there's also a pretty rad mod that lets you save entire settlements and rebuild them in other locations or even other saved games. This one is pretty tricky to work with, though.
I fear it's going to be limited by Lemmy's naïve interpretation of NSFW (only equating it with porn), so many people who haven't changed the 'Show NSFW' checkbox off from the default won't see any of the posts.
If Lemmy's spoiler tags were more widely supported, I'd suggest an alternative of posting inline images in the body of post, hid by spoiler tags, but they're not, so I won't.
