Yeah… while FO4 can revolve heavily around settlement-building, many (even most) players choose to avoid getting heavily-invested in it beyond what the game requires and choose, instead, to focus on the quests.

Must be a sizable number still since they bothered to put it in starfield too for the sake of it, don’t even have to waste your time defending against raiders.

oh, i’m not saying that it’s not a popular concept. i think it may have something to with FO4’s somewhat janky building system. Soooo many mods have been released to address its shortcomings. I can only hope that, in the years since, other games have done a much better job implementing the concept. FO4 would have been even better had the settlement-building tools (and the concept-integration itself) been better.

I think there’s a sim city like mod or something? Seemed extremely ambitious.

Yes, it’s called SimSettlements (now SimSettlements 2), and is pretty great. it manages the settlements, resources, and the settlers and sets them all about building up and maintaining your settlements for you rather than you having to constantly come back to each one and do all that yourself, which would be nearly impossible (without cheats) to keep them all up if you had more than, say, 10 or 12 of them. It’s pretty advanced, but is also pretty resource-hungry.
