Vault 88 Food and Water

[Matt]

So I've fully explored the underground area and setup the big water tank. I'm now wondering if there's something similar for food?

Cheers

Weren't there hydroponics in other Vaults ? Can't we build some of those ?

same here, i have no idea how to feed these people, other then planting stuff and making them work on harvesting.

Garden plots still work. Actually that's one of the things that actually improved with patching, I managed to shove 8 mutfruit trees onto one last night for the new vault 'subjects'.

[rsharp6957]

guess that will have to do. now if i can only understand how to build an atrium.

Good luck... I had a massive fail moment with it last night, going to have to sit and study what hooks to what. Ended up just dropping a bus full of beds and a garden plot out of the way to keep the new settlers happy.

Yeah I've ended up just build a plot with a chunk of mutatrees.

As for the building, that took me a while to figure out properly and it is still proving a frustration. Doors were a tricky one for me, I've found building two connecting doorways first then adding the door in works best.

How can you get the water from the big yellow tank to the rest of the vault ?

Magic.
Same as every settlement with water pump or purifiers.

The poor bastards in your vault draw straws as to who goes spelunking with a bucket...

There is an atrium in the vault in Far Harbor, if you have that DLC. Looking at that might help.

[Matt]

I just built a power hub nearby and wired it up, that did the job for me.

[Dr. Livesey]

You could make a garden plot and then if you want use Contraptions DLC to build a procesed food machine.

just place a power source or if you build some kind of corridor to the water area you can just power it with a vault power node doodad.

have you done all the missions for the overseer? I'm working on it now and maybe they will lead to something involving food? I use NXPro Farming mod so I just setup gardening tables temporarily or perm if there is nothing related to food when the missions are over.

It dont.


FYI settlers will consume tatos before any other food type. If you have a supply chain they will consume tatos from another settlement until there is no tatos in the supply lines.
