In Fallout 4, connecting settlements involves establishing supply lines between them. These lines facilitate the sharing of resources, such as food, water, and power, among connected settlements. To connect settlements, the player must first construct a provisioner. Provisioners are settlers assigned to travel between settlements and transport resources, effectively linking them together.
Connecting settlements is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it allows for efficient resource management. By sharing resources, settlements can overcome shortages and ensure the well-being of their inhabitants. Additionally, supply lines enhance the strategic capabilities of the player’s network of settlements. By linking settlements, the player can quickly move resources and supplies to areas where they are needed most, ensuring the resilience and stability of their settlements in the face of various challenges.
