    I want rpg story content! Settlement dlc is retarded, with the mod support in FO4 modders created far better content for settlements. Why would bethesda release settlement content? Easy cash and no effort invested. Rip good old rpg fallout, and lore. Tod howard is an sneaky lazy cash obsessed @$¥*}{[]$`. Give/sell Fallout IP to an developper who cares and love the IP.

    Just when you thought you could leave all your settlements alone, they drag you back in.

    Contraptions is a new DLC pack, I believe reasonably cheap (im on season pass) and it is 100% only worth getting if you, like me, cant resist that urge to rebuild settlements, bigger better and stronger! This pack contains a range of new pieces, from greenhouse glass sides and roof tiles, to    Just when you thought you could leave all your settlements alone, they drag you back in.

    This pack contains a range of new pieces, from greenhouse glass sides and roof tiles, to sheet metal bunker / container like set pieces. The range of stairs is really pleasing to a settlement geek like me. This is pretty much adding to what i'd expect the MODs to bring to PS4 upon their release.

    However, the DLC also comes with some pretty cool bits n all - I love the armour and weapon racks, make your shops look a lot more like shops with guns stacked etc, and the new range of signs etc means you'll be scavenging for copper forever!

    I've only just started to try and work the track and ball gizmo, I plan on running a mouse-trap style trap around my entire settlement, see if i can set off sirens etc with the balls weight hitting pressure pads etc... it's all messing about and wasting my own time, but its joyous to me, and i know there's a group of us out there that love building up settlements.

    I'm also just getting to grips with the production side, ideally i will look to turn Trading Co-Op into a factory of sorts, forging some stuff. Already, before i;ve started i can see its going to be another 30hrs+ of gameplay doing all this and making it look the nuts, value for money was passed long ago in FO4, so this just keeps adding to it.

    This is just a must purchase if you love settlement building, if not, it's not for you. Expect the same delightful frustrations upon laying tracks etc as you have trying to get walls to snap!

    Also, I see the potential with a lot of the elements here for the MOD community to go wild with! Can't wait to see what amazing things they can build for our mini worlds!

    Really enjoying this DLC - suspect others will too - it feels a lot more packed into this one than the workshop!    … Expand

    This DLC was nothing special. It’s cool they added it but it really was kind of pointless.

    Mediocre Game and an Insult to every Fallout-Veteran. Still better than F76 tho. DONT BUY!

    Cant see enemies. Dont know where they shooting from. Dogmeat gets in the way while i am looting. Asking me to kill raiders in a factory or some crap but the raiders dont come to me! I must find them and then kill them? Grenade markers are worthless. CRAP GAME WASTE OF TIME. STUPID BETHESDA. EAT 0 NOOB DEVS. CANT EVEN MAKE GAME THESE STUPID DEVS.

    If you own the season pass then this is certainly worth installing but unless you’re a serious fiend for all things settlement building, you may as well just wait for Nuka World.

    If you're not absolutely crazy about the settlement building aspect of the game (or trying to build an online empire of clickable content), this is a hard pass.
