Introduce Line Settlement For Free

Once you turn on the radio beacon, I've seen the first settler show up as quickly as an hour (game time, not real-time). If I want to set up tasks for the new settlers, I'll usually activate the beacon and then sleep for 24 (in-game) hours on a bed in the settlement.

Settlements are a new mechanic in Fallout 4 where the player can help NPCs by finishing a questline and govern their areas as settlements. Supply Lines is a feature added to Fallout 4's base building aspect that enables players to share resources stored in different bases as long as there's a connecting Supply Line.

Empty settlements grow fastest so if you want lots of people leave a few settlements empty of people (but with food water and defense) with a recruit beacon and go by every few days and tell everyone to move to your other settlements.

Basic Settlement Happiness Tips While in a Settlement, check the Workshop menu to see if there are warning signs next to any of the Settlement stats. To increase happiness, everyone in your settlement needs food, water, a bed, a job, and defense to ward off raiders.

With the Local Leader perk, just open the workshop, highlight a settler, and click the supply line button. Then, choose what settlement you want them to supply and boom, the supply line is created.

When you have enough beds, a farm, guns, and water it is time to actually get new settlers to your settlement. You can get settlers from quests and use companions as settlers. But the primary way is to set up the Recruitment Beacon. To build it go to the ?Miscellaneous? in the ?Power? section in the building menu.

To have settlers come to your settlement, you will need to make sure you have enough food, water, beds, and defenses. You also need to make sure that you have the Recruitment Radio Beacon set up in each settlement. In addition, the number of settlers maxes out based on your Charisma.
