Fallout 4 Vanilla is there a console command to add food and water to settlement?

[Winning]

Hi friends,

I found out you can in fact transfer food/water into a settlement but I have no idea what the commands are, after googling I found some Mods but I don't want to mod the game, I just want to keep it console commands, any ideas?

Anyone who responds gets a reward right or not!

You can add food to your inventory with the console and transfer it to a workbench. Then with a supply line it will be available in all your network.

Do as mentionned in your other thread.
Console command is simply "player.additem itemID amount"

Maybe you can replace player with the workbench ID but I never tried and I don't know if it works

[ChanceGateau]

Why would you want one? Getting food is kind of easy. You just kill something, take the meat/eggs/legs whatever and put it on a fire... POOF food! What's the point of spamming food when it's so easy to get?

console these 2 lines for 100 purified water and 100 tatoes :D
then just press B or whatever your transfer button is to put them in the workbench

player.addItem 000366c0 100
player.addItem 0009dcc4 100

and honestly i think you have everyone a little confused (even me) that you're starting your game with the nuka-world raiders taking over the commonwealth, lol

If you're aiming to make it mostly automatic for feeding a whole bunch of settlements, you may also want to put a list of commands in a batch file so that you can run them all together. There's a section on batch files in that console command link.

The batch file itself is just a plain text file that goes in your Fallout 4 directory and contains each command in order. When you use the BAT command with the file's name, the game runs each line of commands one after the other exactly as if you'd typed them in.

For example, I've got a text file (.TXT) called FindSynth that has a command to report the number of synths in a settlement for each settlement workbench to save having to remember all the reference IDs and enter them over and over again. When I need to use it I can just enter: BAT FindSynth

Thanks everyone, I had no idea I could use regular food to feed the settlement for some reason I thought it had to be different from the food we find on the waste lands, no idea why I thought this but thank you so much for the tips!

I'll try it out and let you know

they will eat anything i think. i just go to tatoes and corn because it's easy but if you have cram and insta-mash they will eat that too. or if you grill up some meat you hunted. they'll eat that.

you can console up other foods to try if you want. i really don't know 100% what they do and don't eat. i always just give them crops cause that's what settlers grow. i do know 100% for sure they eat those.

raiders are picky though. they don't want to do any farming, for example. might be picky about what they eat too. you'll have to let us know what you turn up.

if i remember you can click on the workbench (red toolbench) and console ~ then type in the food item you wanna add or liquid.

I usually add a crap ton of mutfruit and purified water when doing raider playthroughs before i get other settlements to give them stuff.

Do the raiders grow in size based on food?

Food has nothing to do with growth (happiness might, I can't remember). Normal settlers come until they reach the cap (10 + your charisma), or until there are 4 of them with no assigned jobs. Raiders will just keep coming until the cap is reached (also 10 + Charisma).

if you don't want to search through the console item id list for the food you're looking for, you can type in the console window:

help tato 4

and it will give you the codes for tato, but it will give a lot of item codes. i think food would fall under (ALCH) category? takes little trial and error to figure it out. if the item you're looking for has two or more words like purified water, you would instead type

help "purified water" 4
