Benefits of having brahmin in your settlement?

[Sloppa]

Hi, I just noticed a brahmin has decided to move into one of my settlements so I built it a feeding trough etc. I don't really know what they actually do for your settlement though. Can anyone fill me in?

[[FuFo] Mortucus]

i think they add to food

[Barricade]

Not sure yet- But I built a fence around him and gave him a feed.

Pretty sure that's what unlocks the ability to start supply chains. Look at a spare settler, press Q (while in workshop mode) and select a place to send them to. Start building your network.

This is false, you require a perk to start trade lines "Local Leader". No idea what the cow does though.

Ah see I took local leader by level 3 anticipating Fallout sim city, so my perception of what does what in that regard is slightly skewed.

I have supply lines all over the common wealth. All of you seem to be correct in some regards. The Brahmin is the key to creating a supply line, but you must also have the local leader perk as well. Once you have done so, simply send a settler over to the brahmin and supply lines will follow.

I killed a brahmin that moved into my settlement because it wouldn't stop doing annoying noises while I crafted.

You DO NOT need a Brahmin to create the supply line. One can be in each settlement and will hang around wherever you put its feeder. Supply Lines can be made in any settlement even if there is not a Brahmin, yo just need one point into Local Leader.

I created a Steam Guide about many topics related to settlements. Whether you are starting your first settlement or are trying to figure out how to maximize your gain from your settlements this guide can be helpful to you. I would love some feedback!

wut
You just highlight the Settler and press the C key and then choose which Settlement he/she should trade between... I don't think the Brahmin is necessary at all to the supply lines.

ok i watched video's for 2 days about settlements while i waited for fallout 4 to download.

and your wrong all you need is the perk once you have it you point at the person and press q to assign their job as a supply line then select the location.

I just now got my first brahmen to show up and ive allready got 3-4 supply lines going, to my other settlements.

Alright so there is a lot of misinformation in this thread.

You DO need local leader 1 to establish supply lines, it says it in the description of the perk. You DO NOT need the perk to move people between settlements.

You DO NOT need a brahmin to establish a supply line, the ones with saddle bags just spawn when you assign someone to a trade route.

Having a brahmin at your settlement generates fertilizer in the junk section of the work shop. To my knowledge brahmin simply appear once you have people, food, and water, though it does not seem like you need more than 5ish people for one to show up, if that.

Killing them really pisses everyone off, but you can get away with it if no one sees you, or at least I'm assuming, I blasted a person in the face when he was all alone and no one said sh¡t.

I've found no purpose for the Brahmin, so I just killed it.

Hey everybody I'm a man named Butcher Pete and I'm chopping up all the Brahmins meat.

Brahmin add fertilizer to your workshop
