I personally do not want to do any of this shit...
I just ignore it entirely.. Seems like busy work. They should have just linked the game to Fallout Shelter and been done with it.
Well, like I said, if building stuff was actually fun, it wouldn't feel like busy work. The problem is that building stuff isn't fun. It's tedious, and it almost never works the way you want it to, nor is anything properly explained in the game.
The other problem is that so much of the settlement stuff seems useless. I don't think cosmetic items contribute to happiness, so they really serve no purpose. And aside from artillery strikes that you gain later on in the Minutemen quest line, there doesn't really seem to be a compelling reason to build up more than a couple of settlements. And beyond setting up artillery (which you can't use indoors, where the majority of the action takes place in this game), the only purpose I can really find any of the settlements serving is to manufacture the ingredients for vegetable starch, which breaks down into adhesive, which is the most valuable item in the world apparently. I don't really see a compelling reason to have settlements farm melons, gourds, or razorgrain, or really any purpose other than farming a couple of select items and collecting purified water.
