In the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 4, building and maintaining settlements is crucial for survival. Connecting these settlements allows players to share resources, provide support, and create a network of safe havens. To connect settlements, players must establish supply lines by assigning provisioners, who are settlers tasked with transporting goods and resources between locations.
Connecting settlements offers several advantages. Primarily, it enables the sharing of resources, ensuring that all settlements have access to essential supplies like food, water, and ammunition. Additionally, supply lines allow for the transfer of settlers, assigning them to specific roles and tasks as needed. Furthermore, connected settlements can provide mutual defense, responding to attacks and supporting each other in times of crisis.
