how do the cages work?

[hengepupper]

in settlement i see a tab called "raider" and in it is a bunch of cages, but i cant wrap my head around it. what do i use it for?

they are for the sole purpose of getting you settlement pets or..to provide your coloseum with fighters.

Build an enclosed space a deathclaw cage some raider cages put the team poles by the cages and release the beasts!....

and yes it get boring after like 2 times

I like to trap lots of cats to keep around cat bowls under a decorative plant. I usually trap more Brahmin to keep around a Brahmin feeder in a barn as well. It seems more friendly when I visit.

If you hook up several enemy cages each to a switch you can release them to test defense when you have trapped several. If you leave the cages full of trapped enemy types then it will increase the attacks of the same kind of enemy trying to free the captured ones.

I don't set up fights between the enemy types but I do use the pole light to call all of the settlers in for a break around the bar sometimes for a picture or to observe their different animations or reset the loadouts.

In short, while the cage is linked to electricity, it has a chance to attract a given animal. Once it's caught, disable power to release animal.

The animal... or dude... has a high chance of being hostile.

OP, I've never used the cages yet but, they are not under the Raider icon/catagory. Look to the left of Raider and there should be a separate catagory with a cage shape icon and it says 'Cages". The ones under Raider are not the one's you build to cage wasteland critters.

They're purely cosmetic.
People here are getting mixed up between the working wasteland workshop cages and the Nuka World DLC

Won't matter, the cages are stored under raider as part of the vanilla game
When you get the nuka world dlc all the nuka world props are stored under raider

If you have no DLC, Wasteland Workshop is what added the cages, then you have no cages that are buildable to cage critters in.

Some decoration mods have static cages to decorate with and others have jail cells you can build as decorations.

They are good for making a settlement full of brahmin, cause ya need fertilizer for jet to sell, ya just have to find plastic scrap around the wasteland

yea that works too, it and selling jet is the best way to make money in game

another way is to build Tier 3 stores at all the settlements and they will generate caps in the workshop over time (this is the way bethesda intended us to make it but its too slow)
