Do you make more bottle caps if you have more shops ?

[ShadowWolf]

I have 7 shops set up in The castle but when i go and check the workshop it only has 100 caps.So do you get more bottle caps the more shops you have or not ?

The bigger the population the more caps. I think.

If your settlements are linked with a supply line, all the shop in all settlements produce caps and they all go in every workshop that's linked with a supply line.

Beware tough, all the items in the workshop has a "cap", after wich they don't add to the number and get lost. So you have to periodically remove the caps from the workshop in order to refill.

The cap for caps (lol) is 1600. When you reach that remove from the workshop and will gradually raise back to 1600.

What i say is based on my personal experience and can be wrong.

I have more than 10k caps in some of my workbenches now, and didn't put them there myself. I have so much money that I just let the caps accrue in my settlements, and some of them have thousands of caps sitting in them now. I haven't done an audit to see which ones have the most, so I just remember seeing at least 13,000 stored up in one of them.

Ok, so my personal experience is wrong. Sorry if vented my mouth.

Also this means i have thousands of caps in other settlements that had stores and I tought they were shared. It's that long i don't check i could be millionaire!

Basically to answer the OP: yes, the more shops the more caps, and the shop tier is important too. Just don't bother with tier 1 or 2 shops, wait for the perks and go straight tier 3.
