How many Gunner do I have to keep caged to be under attack 24/7?

[VirtualVictory]

The more enemies you have caged the higher the frequency of attacks. I have about 26 caged Gunner's and my Vault 88 is under attack once every in-game week. I want to double or even triple that ♥♥♥♥.

I'm not sure that that's actually possible, I suspect there's something of a forced down-time for attacks.

O'rly? Every time I fast travel to Vault 88 my atrium is an all out warzone, it brings me tears of twisted joy. =')

[Reverend Belial]

Like I said I only suspect that, not that it's actually true. I have no idea.

If want to try increasing it... Increase food/water stats while not raisieng defense stat. Also keep eye on following mod http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2995/?

I read that oxhorn youtube channel has video showing that if you build up to 100 water and 100 food that no matter your defense you will get attack after every cooldown. Not sure if cooldown is 1 day or a few. Still need to try it. Should be crazy if you catch all the enemies mutant, bugs, ghoul, gunner ect. with food and water at 100+.

edit - btw the Settlement Raiding Mod is awesome
edit 2 - to be clear have not used the SRM in long time so not sure how well it works now

It is still just the one spot. Havent looked at it in bit. As been busy setting up fresh water tanks for the kids. And building a salt water one so lot of work/time. And side jobs to get the money lol

Only the settlement that has cages will be attacked by what is in the cage.

Vault 88 does not allow cages to be built.

Oh he specifieed vault 88. I was thinking above ground settlements for some reason. My bad

Making a gunner grinding machine in my vault 88 lmao, rescaled the cages to fit hundreds. Their cages open to a firing squad.

You can place the item there all you want. The scripting is not there to support the gunner attacks at Vault 88. Attacks caused by a cage are totally seperate than the raids that occur once a week for that settlement. So what I said still applies.

Never mind if you are using mods or console commands then that is basically "cheating the system" so normal rules do not apply.

Not sure what the maximum is but the minimum attack chance is 1% per day per settlement. It's based on your defense. If you have a lot of food and water production and no defense score then you will get attacked very often. Matching your overall food + water production with defense keeps the chance low. But you only need to have 1 defense per settler for happiness reasons.

Last I checked the safety ratio for happiness is food production is like 1 defense for every 5 food pruction, water production did not figure in at all for happiness. Of course that also kinda seem to go with population needed to produce that food. Hmm, probbaly ought to double check that. If you do /help workshop the console command for safety checking is in there.

Keep in mind that Automatron attacks and attacks caused by cages bypass all normal rules regarding settlement raids.

there is a cooldown. but with a little ini editing you SHOULD be able to change it
