Fallout 4 players realise they've been building settlements wrong for years

We can’t be alone in our love of building settlements in Fallout 4.

During every playthrough, without fail, I focus on making my settlements as nice as possible; Shaun can wait to be found.

Yet, after all this time, I, and many other players, are discovering they’ve been coming at these Fallout 4 settlements all wrong.

Oh, the shame!

Are you ready to leave the vault in Fallout 4?

A Reddit thread alerted us to the error of our ways, and while we’re grateful to know where it all went wrong, the shame and embarrassment clings to us.

Did you know you caravans can come to your settlements?

“I missed this for years,” admitted the same Redditor who alerted us to this detail.

Apparently, to make your caravan dreams come true, all you need to do is complete two Bunker Hill quests.

It’s really that simple.

Once you’ve done this, head into the resources section of your settlement building menu and select misc.

This is almost on par with how horrified we felt when we learned we’d been managing our inventory all wrong for years. Again, it’s a small comfort to know that plenty of other fans have made these mistakes too.

At least we know now though, eh?

When this section of the Bethesda fandom comes together, it can do great things – like campaign to get Mr House on the Las Vegas sphere.

It won’t actually help anyone cover over the cracks of their past playthrough mistakes, but it would be a satisfying nod to one of the best games in the franchise.

We all know the way to get the best Fallout experience is to visit New Vegas.

Alongside caravans being able to stop at your settlements, there are numerous other “small things” “easily missed” when wandering the Wasteland.

It’s high time you took a breather to check you’re not missing out on too many helpful features.
