Starlight Drive In...

Building up the settlement but there is a severe lack of wood.... do I really have to mule over supplies from Sanctuary.

Also, how did you choose to build up SDI?

What do you think the Local Leader perk is for?

Set up transport routes, link all your settlements together.

put up beacon
add water pump
wait for two settlers to show
turn off beacon
assign one settler to farm
assign other settler to guard towers build from the little wood that is there
add a bed

The question was how to get supplies from Sanctuary.

The answer is, set up supply routes

Before you have the perk, you may need to haul. Break down any wood items before carrying them (generic wood weighs only 0.2 I think). Also, shipments of wood are quite cheap and weigh nothing until you place them into the workshop.

I cheat - I use a batch file that gives me thousands of everything, and I dump it all into the workbench and build something massive. That's how. :D

why did you stop the beacon?

I got the 2nd level of the perk so I set up supply lines. Though I cant seem to exceed 5 settlers eventhough my food/bed/water/deffense is morew than high enough to accomodate more.

I've built a couple Power Armor displays at the top and bottom of the movie screen. Have 33 settlers at 100 happiness there.

If you need that much wood, it's definitely worth considering Local Leader perk. But I was able to build enough stuff with just the wood there, before I got local leader. You must be building something massive.

If you've got enough food/water for ony 2-3 people, you don't want to have 5 or 6 settlers show up.

[Not So Serious]

Step one) Create bed
Step two) Create water
Step three) Create cook station
*If you do not have the materials for steps two or three, doesn't matter, don't bother making any special trip. Not really required, just convenient. Also, feel free to make use of whatever other stations are already there.

And done. I only ever use settlements as rest stops; people move in sometimes, but as far as I'm concerned it's just a place for me to save and get hydrated. If they love that patch of dirt so much, then they can build it up themselves
