[Simon]

That don't really anwser my question, if it is possible to transfer material and if so then how?

Apparently you need the Local Leader perk or something, and then assign someone to be a courier for the route.

Assign a settler to do the Supply Line thing.

Get the Local Leader perk, I think you need 6 Charisma. Then find a settler in one of your settlements that has no job and press Q on him in build mode. Select your settlement of choice. Now those two settlements share materials. Repeat ad nauseum for every settlement you have until they're all linked.

Thanks!

Or in my case being OCD and the reset bug sometimes resets my robot provisioners, i just fast travel the junk when i need to use it

[sdack]

Yes, they are called Provisioners.

Get the Leadership perk, pimp out a settler in full combat gear, and assign him to a destination, which will create a so called supply line. Your settler will spawn his/her own Brahmin and it looks like a caravan Brahmin with boxes and bags strapped to it. You don't need to provide a Brahmin. The Provisioner will then walk back and forth between the two settlements and when you're on grid with the provisioner will fight every hostile in its path, hence the combat gear.

It only shares junk, food and water, but nothing else in your workbench. So no ammo, armor or weapons for instance.

I suggest you read the Wiki on it if you want to do this as there are a few more issues you might run into. I found it quite simple, but apparently can one mess it up.

If it's just for moving stuff then a robot with protector legs and arms can carry up to 500kg and makes for a nice mule.

^what this guy said.

Basically, once settlements have been linked by provisioners, the physical "stuff" is not transfered, but if I build a bed for example, at a linked settlement with no scrap, it will be drawn from the pool of collective scrap across all connected settlements.

Shameless pimping here....but I made a couple of guides about Fallout 4... and there are some handy tips on gearing up provisioners in this one:

Hope it helps

One more thing about the Provisioners. You can make as many supply lines as you have settlers. Making more supply lines can act as a patrol netweork.

The Provisioners are Protected (i.e. only the player can kill them) and will only go down for a while when they lose all HP. They will then recover and continue to fight. If you create a network of heavily armed and armoured Provisioners you can make the Commonwealth much safer and gain XP from their kills while traveling around.

even if you were as strong as you could be, you wouldn't be able to carry all the salvage my settlements utilize on an ongoing basis. linking them with provisioners is really the only viable solution.

FYI: I carry about 2000+ wood, 700 steel, 500 aluminum, 300 adhesive, 300 lead, and similar amounts of all mats on me at any given time. My weight carried is pretty steady at just over 9900.
