Hangman's Alley help!

[Abiszek ⚡]

So I saw Hangman's alley and killed the raiders. I know its a small area but should be cozy once I build it. But I dont know where to find water? I mean. Is water pumps the solution or the bigger water pump which needs power?

I have another beautiful made settlement at the Starlight Drive In. Big and all but I want another one. Just something small and comfortable.

Any tips?

Only Water Pumps can go there, since the larger ones need to be placed in water to work.

Also, at the Drive-In, make sure to remove the radioactive barrels. That lets you USE that water instead of just avoid it.

Hangman's Alley won't be able to support anything more than the basic water pump that can be put on dirt. The (industrial) water purifiers need to be put on existing water sources which simply aren't available in Hangman's Alley.

Beyond that, there's always the option of using supply lines to ship water there, I believe.

I should really think about doing that with a few of my extra people in Sanctuary. Got 99 Water going there along with quite a bit of food.

Thank you guys. Yes I removed the barrels.

HOW TO CREATE SUPPLY LINES? Please make it easy.

First: level one of Local Leader.
Second: have spare person at settlement with excess supplies
Third: in Workshop menu, hover over person
Fourth: there should be a key to hit to have them move between settlements

I have few questions.

My main settlements Rocket Station (Main all junk), Starlight and soon to be Hangman's Alley. Sancturay isnt my forte. But at times I do help it. But mostly the first 3 I listed.

So does it work? Do I have to store all my junk in that settler I pick to supply? Or what do I do? Does all my main junk also go in Hangman's Alley (If I link Rocket Station and Hangman's alley)? The fallout wikipedia is kinda confusing D:

Blame the complete lack of a tutorial in the game itself. You'll need to start with one base, and you can connect them together one-by-one, if you have enough people.

From what I know, if you have someone going between say, Hangman's Alley and the Starlight Drive-In, food, water, and the junk are all shared between those two settlements. I assume it's possible to extend that so if you have someone going between those two along with someone going between Starlight and the Red Rocket Gas Station, Starlight will have the food, water, and junk supplies of all three locations, while the other two will have their own and Starlight's.

I may be wrong, since this is a massive logistics problem and you'd have a better chance of converting Jerry Falwell to atheism than I have of fully understanding this kind of thing.

I'm not sure about how people say that they're sharing water with other settlements, but in general how supply lines work is that they essentially create a network between settlements for sharing junk etc.

So for example, if you connected Starlight & Rocket Station together, then they can both use the resources (steel/wood/oil/circuitry/corn etc) that are stored at either settlement. If you then connect Starlight to Hangman's Alley, then Hangman's alley can also use all of the resources from both Rocket Station & Starlight, since they've joined the network (And likewise, Starlight & Rocket Station can both use Hangman's Alley's resources as well).

And no you don't store the junk on the settler, you just store it at the settlement, in the workstation or whatever it's called, the same place as where you normally store your junk.

OH MAN! That is soooooo damn confusing. Its like Math without tutorials or teachers to help! D: Thank you for the reply tho

Soooo helpful. Thankyou. So ONE LAST TINNNY QUESTION and One clear note if I did it right..

Question: Do I need one settler for Rocket and Starlight (Picked from Rocket Station to go to the Starlight) and then A DIFFERENT settler for Starlight to Hangman's Alley (From the Starlight settlement) and then another settler for Hangman to either Starlight or Rocket (From Hangman's Alley Settlement)

and my Junk is store in the workshop station. Clear right? I just press transfer all junk thing and it goes into the work station? Its clear right?

Thankyou

NOOOO! :p Hehehehe. In the wikipedia page its and I quote "Settlements share resources with all other settlements that are part of its supply line network. Two settlements do not have to be directly connected. In other words, if you connect settlement A->B, B->C, and B->D, then A, C, and D will also share resources with each other despite not directly being connected since they are still part of the same network. " THE ♥♥♥♥ IS THIIISSS?

Using the same settlements from before, it means that if you connect Starlight to Red Rocket and Red Rocket to Hangman's, Starlight and Hangman's share everything as well.

[Serrel]

Only junk is shared not water although if you have and food like Corn or Tatos, they are shared and can be planted at any settlement as long as a supply line is set up to your main settlement, the one where you put most of your junk and food.

I suggest using Sanctuary or Starlight as they are large settlements with lots of people which are ideal for setting up large amount of Supply lines.

A few tips I've learned in 170 hours :) Don't create supply lines all from 1 settlement like sanctuary as doing so will leave you with few people in sanctuary to do other tasks like gather food, scavenge. instead set up supply lines using other settlements so that basically they are all linked.

If you have water purifiers set up on one settlement like starlight, they produce purified water that can be used by you for cooking or for consuming (Health) but they have to be either moved by you back to your main base or just used up from which ever settlement produces them.


Just like to add that I am no expert with settlements. The above is just what I have observed in my limited playthrough so far.

Another tip is to use Corn, Tato's and Purified water to make Vegitable starch via cooking and you will never run out of Adhesive,
