Power armor mods being exclusive to their own sets, adding on to the plan/recipe management nightmare is ridiculous.
I got to lvl50 and was finally able to equip my ultracite Boss armor that looks great, but I have zero options for. Meanwhile, I could build the x-01 and be good to go with options after checking the enclave vendor almost every day.
My question is, is there any meaningful.differnece between the prototype and regular X-01?

This game feels much more fun and fair now that I started carrying around a Super Sledge with me 24/7. I'm on a Perception/Agility/Luck Rifle and VATs build, but beating the shit out of things in my power armor feels way more consistent damage wise, especially since I found a Variant that has Electric Damage built in. Also now that I'm starting to get the really good Luck skills and have Mysterious Stranger along with the various crit bar skills kicking in fairly often.
Kind of regretting my rifle based build a bit now. Its really fun and does a lot of damage especially now that I have some Handmades and a good Hunting Rifle (And will do more once I finish it off in my late 30's/40's), but I also feel like I locked myself out of almost all the crafting side and most of the melee/close range side of the game because of how the stupid skill card system works and the fact my build wont be 100% complete till like the 60's/70s depending on luck. (Like the fact its given me 3 duplicates of a skill I already had maxed at level 3 prior, and the majority of pack cards I'm getting are in my trees that have 1 point or are totally useless to me).
Luckily I have pretty much given up on having a perfect build and am just in it for the fun/the eventual platinum trophy. I just had to vent over how much I hate the skill system, especially for the trees/builds that have most of their good cards in the 30s-40s while most of the lower stuff is throwaway/replaced. I really wish you could just sit on the level up points and actually use them at the level for the skill you want. As opposed to trying to having those weird levels where you don't really have anything to spend it on.

I can see where melee is a better way to go with so many enemies being rush in fast moving close combat monsters.
How much can I carry at the beginning of the game?
Edit: I'm asking because I think the game doesn't calculate my Carryweight correctly.
It's really annoying how you can accidentally hit someone's C.A.M.P. and get wanted which you can't remove except by being killed. I was running around and saw a bunch of monsters attacking someone's C.A.M.P. so I thought I would help so I pulled out my shotgun and started shooting at them but the spread hit one of his C.A.M.P. items and all his turrets started shooting at me and I got wanted status.
I can see an easy way to game that, by hiding items from a C.A.M.P. somewhere enemies spawn that people frequent for events or something and then just sitting outside to pick off people who accidentally become wanted.

Excellent post! Very informative and helpful, thanks a lot. I will certainly be referencing back to this during my play through.
Are you severely over the weight limit in your inventory or high level or something like that?
That's me and T-51B. Got the motion assist and that's the only one I've gotten that's useful after a couple hours of server hop. May try the raider vendor as I think they have some too. Broke up the rhythm and did some mutation farming and now have healing factor locked.
I need Calibrated Shocks, they are so damn rare. Don't know how Bethesda thought it was a good Idea to make mods so rare. I mean if you wouldn't server hop to find them, just wait until the vendor gets new stuff, you would have to wait for weeks.
It's just one of the many half assed systems in place that need at least 2 quality of life passes before it's acceptable. Reducing mods to not only be armor specific but add RNG on top of it is terrible.
Basic things as not knowing which recipes you already have, and them taking up weight while having very good cap value and yet being unsellable should be their priority but they are struggling enough making the game playable for any meaningful stretch of time much less focus on things players need.
I was trying to play this morning, and I logged in to my Stash being 46lbs overweight, when I'm pretty sure it wasn't like that when I logged out last night.
I got kicked out three times before I had to leave for work, trying to go thru the Stash and remove stuff to try and get the weight down...
Hopefully I can figure out what the deal is later on today...
Five things:
1. The Christmas Emote bundle only gives you Christmas themed emote icons. The emote animations are the same as the regular ones. Do not buy it.
2. The Grafton Station vendor sells BOS Combat Armor plans if you server hop a bunch
3. There is an eyebot that's playing old timey flute music that has a bunch of non-hostile radrats following it a la Pied Piper style near Harper's Ferry. Probably a rare random encounter.
4. There are two Handy robots that have a looping conversation like when you have two of those chat A.I. programs talking to each other. I found in the border region between the Mire and Cranberry Bog.
5. There is a random chance you will stumble upon a dead caravan with a dead deathclaw next to it. Upon inspecting the deathclaw it will be labeled as "dead vendor" and not "deathclaw". I've encountered this once in the Savage Divide and once in the Mire. Intelligent deathclaws a la Fallout 2 perhaps?

Yeah, they need to setup some sort of tiered level servers. Its pretty rough at times.
Where at? I'm hunting for the T-51b versions and optimized bracers. Online has been useless. Welch has been no luck. Did you get plans or the mods?
I finally got starched genes with healing factor and twisted muscles. Got an instigating and furious grognak axe with %40 extra power hit, max strength with+2 from motion assist and +3 during daytime for a total 20 strength. 320-ish base damage on the axe before chems with all 9 slugger perks. I loooove this build. Just hunting for those last PA mods now.
As much I liked the game, it's unplayable for me until they fix the phantom weight bug and/or make major changes to weight in general. I have nearly 500 pounds on my character after getting rid of everything except a supply of stimpaks and water, plus a little food. So for now, I just give up and quit on this game. The infinite carry weight glitch was the only thing that kept the game actually fun to play, now it's misreable micromanaging ravaged by broken mechanics and bugs. Of course they would be so much more concerned with this bug and not the hundreds of actual game breaking ones. Way to drive away what little community that actually likes the game away.
After all the nerfs I find leveling an alt to be much, much slower. I question if I want to bother after every session. I think its a combination of there being less events due to players spreading out now, as well as said events and killing mobs awarding less xp now.
I've been using the infinite carry weight glitch and was pissed when they fixed it. Once I dealt with it though (had about 1400 lbs of stuff) I kind of find it refreshing. It also helped once I figured out how to read the dozens of plans and recipes I had
Stumbled upon Whitesprings today. It's totally not where I thought it would be, but I see now why it has the reputation it has. Legendaries seem to drop like candy over there; too bad all the legendaries I got were pretty crap. (And level 15, nobody's got time for that crap.)
I started using melee more, relying on a ski sword and a super sledge. The super sledge hits hard, but it's not particularly durable. Actually, none of the melee weapons hold up nearly as well as guns (I guess because you're smashing things constantly). If this is what endgame requires, I forsee a lot of hanging around weapons workbenches and memorizing their locations in the world.

What's the marsupial mutation?
5.56 ammo starts to drop alot from Super Mutants around level 30 or so, lots of assault rifles and ammo.
That was last week though, not sure if anything changed in the last patch
Thank god Snallygasters can't climb stairs, fast traveled to trees tops to see if it's loaded with hides again and i had 2 on me. Kicking my ass until I ran up some stairs and took cheapshots with the radium rifle I just picked up.
Now I'm having a carry weight problem again since I have so many different weapons I wanna carry :(. Do I keep the sniper rifle I crafted or do I drop the lever action rifle that's only level 25 whereas I'm 50. The Radium alone is about 20 pounds.
I got a faan on me but have a legendary one that weights 4 pounds, no idea where I got it from.
Oh and I'm swimming in stimpacks and purified water now and I don't even have the recipie for stimpacks yet.

kangaroo jumping. I have yet to get it myself though. I'd really like that... 😐
Super Jump, +20 lbs carry weight and -int. I think it's -2 to your intel but I'm not sure.
Discovered what flux is. Anyone know if raw flux decays while you're offline? I need to find a hardened mass (no jokes please, we're British) in order to stabilize it but I don't want to spend all night doing it (AGAIN no jokes) if I don't have to.
god that was a lot more innuendo than I planned
Not sure, I haven't kept flux in my inventory overnight before. However, if you use the perk Good with Salt it'll increase the time you have before it decays. Also use the Super Duper perk if you have it while crafting stable flux.
I hate the Brotherhood quest in the bog. The first time i made it through the cave to the endboss, after I killed that the server crashed. Now you have to restart that shitshow all over again.
Today I try it again and the moment I arrive in the cave the server crashes again. Come on Bethesda fix that shit.
Edit: Fuck it, third time in a row that I enter the Cave and get disconnected.

I feel your pain, I got d/c'd today too after doing the quest. Thankfully, I looted the body before hand and got checkpointed. Are you playing on PC or console?
It doesn't decay offline. Hardened mass is also a product of nuke blast zones only. Hardened mass, glowing mass, high radiation fluids are nuke products but they dont decay. All flux decays only while online. Be careful because hardened mass is considered a junk so if you scrap all junk you'll scrap it on accident.
Still no luck finding T-51b mod plans. This is the last thing I'm looking for. Also spent 2 hours beating the grognak epf pipboy game holotape. I'm embarrassed by how much I enjoyed that.
I looted the body as well, but did not get the chrckpoint.
I'm playing on PS4.
Anyone in need of a Calibrated Shock Mod for T-60? Just bought it for 525 caps. I gladly help someone out with it.
Just PM me and I give you my PSN ID.
Happened to me. Apparently you dont have to start from scratch. If you go to the end of glassed cavern, after the boss fight you see a body under a spotlight in the same room. Inspect that and all the quest markers will update to that point in the quest.
Its random but easy. You generally get a mutation every near full health amount of rads. Caveat, if you want more than one you have to wait 30 minutes for a reset timer to allow you to get another or server hop. That's how people farm multiples. Dont forget starched genes 2 to geep mutations.
I've got twisted muscles and healing factor for now. Next target is marsupial but I'll go syrum route for that as three mutations in a row is a huge pain to farm.
