Question About Brahmin

[RainbowFloyd]

Does anyone know what Brahmin are used for? I know they are part of caravans but what confuses me is that you are able to build "Brahmin feed trough". Why would I want to build this or attract brahmin? From what I understand you don't need them to start I supply line. Maybe for food?

Edit: Seems that Levram has found the answer. Here's what he wrote;
"The game doesn't tell you what purpose the brahmins serve when they initially start spawning in your settlements. However, once you randomly start running into the wastelanders on the road who want to sell you one, you can find out in their dialogue options. They state that having a brahmin will increase the productivity of the settlement it is located in."

these dialogue options suck
yes, no, maybe, sarcastic, need more.

I also wondered how I can get Brahmin into my settlements.

[Mr.Hmm]

I got a Brahmin out of nowhere in my settlement so I made a Brahmin feed trough but I got no idea what they are there for.

Welcome to the game, don't think anyone else does same as having to assign beds to each settler as well at their job or they get unhappy.

The game says that if a settlement is unhappy for a while you will lose control of it. I think happiness also boost production

If you build it, they will come (and stay next to it, not, for instance in your home :) - provided they are in a certain radius, hard to get any in Sanctuary other than the one you can buy randomly, from a trader. I think brahmin produce fertilizer btw, which is great for making jet= profit.

Fertilizer, really? Okay, I will watching it. Since you can't kill Brahmins cuz you will be shooted by your own people ... >_>

However, once you randomly start running into the wastelanders on the road who want to sell you one, you can find out in their dialogue options. They state that having a brahmin will increase the productivity of the settlement it is located in.

As well, as stated in the game's help menu, increasing the happiness of a settlement results in an increase to its productivity, apart from preventing its revolt. So, my guess is that once you naturally increase a settlement's happiness to a certain level (I don't know the cut-off point), and therefore increase its productivity, a brahmin will spawn, as the concepts of "happiness," "productivity," and "brahmins" are interconnected.

I have only bought one brahmin so far, but I have six of them in my various settlements.

Same here.

[Goobert]

Yeah, i have a brahmin in my settlement and it isn't doing much, it may be like adding certain decorations, in the sense that it increases productivity and happiness

From what I've noticed it also spawns Brahmin Meat in your workshop. Remember all the extra stuff your colony produces goes into the workshop, so make sure to check it regularly. Like how having an abudance of water creates Purified Waters.

I wondered how I kept getting meat ...

A super mutant attack just killed all my brahmins in a certain village. :(

The fertilizer is added directly to the workshop inventory.
