spectacle island

[lobotomy]

Hi. i just cleared out spectacle island and build a small little home but my question is if there is anyway for settlers to get there. i mean if they just get killed by the radiation in the water or is it actually possible. thx for a good answer :)

build a radio tower and a give it power.. same as every other settlement

Settlers spawn at the settlements, they don't walk to them - However you'll have some trouble keeping your caravans alive, since they tend to drown.

10!? XD You got a redundancy factor of 9 there. :P

What I did was take advantage of the little radio shack on the island (keep it turned on - you'll never face another mirelurk on the island ever again) by putting power and radio stuff near it (on wooden foundations with concrete below)

Really easy to build a network of lines over to the manor/garage and build your entire settlement around them. The manor itself is pretty useless for construction and furniture (sadly), but the garage and greenhouse are perfect for their respective purposes (You could download one of the mods that allow you to use greenhouse plant bases)

yeah i might do that, but do they spawn faster by sleeping*?

Whereas, I built an entire "ring fort" around the top of the hill the radio shack is on (and rewired it for LOCAL power, rather than running a line all the way out to the boat). :)

The boat generator comes pre-connected, GM.

I think that particular style is called a citadel.

Yeah, a nice long vulnerable cable that stretches far from any of my defenses. :D

I was aesthetically irked by that, and took it down.

Mmmm, no.

"Citadel" isn't a style of fortification; it means a fortress that defends a city or town (and is typically, but not always, built on high ground).

A Ring Fort, or Ringfort, is a typically-circular structure, that encloses a large interior space. (Granted, my Spectacle Island fort was square, but that's a limitation of the pieces available to me, more than anything else.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringfort

"The Castle" is only not a ring fort, because it is a more modern form called a "Star Fort" - viewed from overhead, they look star-shaped. Otherwise, the Castle fits the definition perfectly: a large wall around an open space, with at least one building in that interior area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_fort

So a Combine Citadel.
