Thank you, that worked!
No problem. Not sure how it was in the previous two, never used that particular command!
Now that's a good idea
You're playing "Hangman" with the words in the character dump and trying to find the right word to "solve" the hack.
Pick a word, will tell you how many letters off of the correct word it is. Basically just logically intuit what the correct word is from there.
Along with that, in the ASCII dump of gibberish if you find a string that is "opened" and "closed" with like ASCII characters, you can highlight it and it will either remove an incorrect word from the dump or refresh your tries. So if you see something like [- - - ], select the first character and it will highlight the entire block denoting that you found one of these special strings. It can be either [ ], ( ), < >, or { } set of characters. Also if you remove a "dud" word using this method, you can potentially open up more of these highlightable blocks because the words that get removed turn into . . . . and you can possibly get something like ( / ! . . . . . ) which will be valid.
If you run out of tries, the terminal is locked out but will be rehackable after 15 or so seconds. I find it easiest to proc the hack, pick a few words, and if you've got a bunch of 0 like words, just reset by backing out and restarting so you can at least try and have a starting point instead of just have 1 try left. Although sometimes a chunk of very different 0 like words can be just as helpful.
Just story wise 90% if not more. Very close

They said a beta patch on Steam sometime next week.
Ain't nobody got time for that.
Thank you sir.
Are you wearing power armor?
As for the hacking mini game, eh..it's terrible. I don't bother upgrading my hacking skills but if I really have to hack a novice terminal, I usually just pick the first 3 words, exit, and try the first 3 words again. Repeat until successful.
You're close to the end.
Yeah, that's where I got the idea. I got thrown off by the elevation change so didn't think to add stairs and raise the room up for more space. When I get more suits I'll take on that project.
Welp, glad I didnt even start that one yet. Got it randomly and assumed it was a meaningless sidequest so I nearly started it.
Played this for about 20+ hours and I feel like I've gotten nowhere. *stares at weapon modding and settlements.* lol

Dilemma of the century.
Do I switch to a sturdy chameleon combat armor chest piece I just got,
Or do I stay with me sweet looking full heavy leather outfit.
On the one hand sure, chameleon sounds like it might be useful when I'm trying to disappear. On the other hand my sneak is so high and everything is darkened, so the heavy armor doesn't hurt my sneaking ability and I can already wreck the shit out of people with blitz.

Fashion is important man. Stick with the leather.

that's what I was leaning towards. My dude's gotta look swag, if fashion wasn't important I'd look like a god damn... well all of those raiders. Fashion faux pas in the Fallout.
I felt the Settlement thing didn't give enough return for the investment. I'd say delay it if you find it tedious. Its never a priority. You just have to go back to defend it in case it's under attack.

so I need to enable the downloading of the (beta) patch or will it download automatically?

its supposed to lead you to the crater of atom, you have to speak to someone there.
Honestly if you told me all of that was just a location in the game I would believe you. Amazing work

On Steam you have to opt in to beta patches in the game's properties, so it won't be automatic. I'm sure they'll announce when it's out and they'll have the exact details on how to trigger the update.
Just because shes your companion doesnt mean you have to use her
East of Oberland Station. Make sure to fillow the blood trail also

yo man, them shits are every damn wear. You can get power armor literally 5 minutes after leaving vault 111. There's one that damn close, just sitting there, collecting dust. And I aint even talking about the one you get from the story either.
If you explore a lot, you'll run into them sooner or later. But if all you do is follow mission quest markers, then, your not gonna have a good time with finding power armor.
I've just been buying it when I can, but I am always low as well. I have the perk for ammo but this one just seems really rare.

Higher Luck might help. I have Luck at 7 and I have a constant shotgun ammo supply of 100+. I dont even have the ammo perk.
No tips, there isnt much. I "only" have about 450-500 100 hours in and having finished the game, compared to 1500 for most other types.
Shotgun, Plasma, Gauss Tifle ammo and magnum ammo (.45 or whatever it is) are the rarest because not a lot of npcs use them

A decent lockpicking skill will also help your ammo supply. Most of the locked stuff in the game are ammo containers/armories.

Combat rifles are one of my favorites.
Starlight is now a garish nightmare of paintings of people I don't know... But the happiness is on the up. 96 now with an up arrow.... It just takes about 3 weeks of waiting every time to move it up another point now... Last goddamn trophy then I never have to deal with building again and I can just go explore more.
It's "deal double damage" in anything but its name. That modifier doesn't consume more ammo or actually shoots / hits twice.
I don't really use the power armour mainly because I am exploring.
Not going to waltz around in it heh. Unless there is a way to charge cores later. My shotgun does 78 and I have a spray and pray. My sniper sucks does like fifty.
I have only seen one legendary and he dropped a melee weapon. I am on very hard.
Don't remember my stats but my perks are:
Scraper lvl 1
Scrounger lvl 2
Lockpicking lvl 1
Idiot savant lvl 2
Gun nut lvl 2
Science lvl 1
I am level 15 with a few unspent perk points and 25+ hours played. Just got to diamond city. My damage and damage taken both suck lol. Just realized companion perk so trying to get Prestons.
Other than that I am stuck in a rut.

I think there might be a bug with your companions at Grey Garden. I can only get one to spawn in at a time, and they'll do literally nothing besides stand in a single spot of the Garden. Led to a moment where C
