    I think that settlement happiness in particular player playthroughs should be a litmus test for all of our world leaders

    Chairs... the secret to happiness is chairs. "My back hurts, my feet hurt, everything hurts" is the games subtle way of telling you. Craft two chairs per settler n see. Mama Murphied

    Automatrons having a set happiness of 50 means that automatrons can also be used to increase the happiness of a settlement so that it remains allied.

    I love it when settlers tell me they are full and ate too much or that they start whistling. I'm pretty sure that means you are doing it right.

    In my current play through I never rescued Preston and the others and it's soooooooo relaxing.

    scrap any beds and rebuild them when you take a fresh settlement, some are bugged, they say there's a bed, but counts them as not under a roof, abernathy and county crossings are regular culprits of this.

    Thank You. the achievement for 100% has been causing me issues for years
  • @myschloss
    Thank you for compiling this list, it’s very helpful! Also, I find it interesting that the phantom weight lifting occurred on your bench press as well.

    Currently doing a never leave sanctuary challenge where I would like to finish with 100% happiness if I can help it, this guide is very useful thank you grey gaming :)
  • I feel fortunate that I've never cared about getting happiness to 100%. To me, there are two happiness values, 0% and good enough. That said, I usually end up with most of my settlements at around 80%, because meeting basic needs of food, water, shelter, and defense is so easy.

    A helpful hint about brahmin, for those that don't know: They will help the speed of crops growing. This is especially helpful to making your own adhesive. Grow mutfruit, corn, and tatos, which you can then use at a cooking station (with purified water) to create adhesive.
  • Just make a small settlement with 2-4 people and have them assigned to task have plenty of food and water electricity defense cover beda and traders coming around and you will get 100% happiness unlock the achievement and then you never need to worry about your happiness meter as there’s a bug that was never fixed where your settlement will show no beds or food water ect even when you know for a fact that it has everything cause you are standing there

    So basically leaving codsworth at sanctuary is bringing down the happiness rating as his can't chance? Probably makes sense to put all robots at grey garden with other robots
  • @ret7army
    Nice overview appreciate it. Didn't know for example that the potted plants or animals helped happiness
  • @user-kt7mi3yy8j
    Unless you like zipping back/forth across the map all the time its much easier to pick 3-4 hubs that has more tenants and just use the other locations as barren pass throughs to link your supply lines. Made my life a lot easier by not having to maintain happiness let alone defend settlements in late game. It also saves you time/resources to focus on a few settlements versus them all.
  • @yanothefourth
    i love the videos you make they help me with my playthroughs and what i “should” or should not get
  • @thomasbraun8857
    I watched this video 3 times and I’m still lost, great video I’m just not as fallout savy as I thought I was. I’m made of questions
  • Sim Settlements. Problem solved and I can't even imagine replaying Fallout 4 without it.
