So after reading up on settlement attacks and how people built up to or close to the green line and ended up having raiders/ghouls/super mutants spawn inside the settlement (supposedly the spawn points are near or on the green line and if you build too close they may spawn inside) I revamped my entire Sanctuary.

Previously just had some walls and turrets with the walls way too close to the green... Upgrades:

- Dual junk gate sandwiched around a "death alley" ... Used the rug trick to bring the gates right up next to the alley walls which are multiple shack foundations butted up to each other. On top of the foundations are turrets and manned guard posts.

- built a large prefab wooden shack across the street (and death alley) from the first existing house when you come in from the bridge. This is basically a bunk house for the guards and it also has a turret and spot light on the roof.

- the existing house across the street also has turret/ spot light combo

- turrets placed the length of the wall ever 3 fence squares or so along the river bad behind the cul-de-sac, no turrets on the back yet but I will probably go for a few on the houses just to give some cover (do raids come from the vault side?)


- Moved the walls on the "back" side of the sanctuary in and utilized the existing houses as part of the walls .. Only concern is that is something does spawn back there they can shoot in the Windows/holes in the houses but they can't enter the settlement.

- the crown jewel is my still work in process tree house, one level off the ground, currently two stories tall (though missing a roof ... I may build up a third story by I am thinking no) all the walls are balconies so it's got a cabana feel to it. First level currently has bed, sitting area, and bobble head holder, second level is very open and is where I have relocate my power armor rack and my two suits. Ran out of steel so I need to go scavenging, I want to really deck out the house as my own personal bachelor pad.

During the two hours or so I was building I got 2 levels and 3 settlers putting me up to 11.

I am about 20% from the building limit (on PS4 so no way around it) I am considering doing a bridge over to one of the existing houses and seeing if I can build another smaller building on there. (Not sure if that will work out too well)

I am not sure if I will try to max out Sanctuary or if I will move over to red rocket and/or Abernathy farms

Rocket is just sitting there ... No people no resources but I saw some incredible builds there in Reddit. Abernathy is producing food like crazy but lakes any defenses (I plan to atleast remedy that as I have set up a supply route)

Ten pines is in the same boat as Abernathy and I just opened up the drive in and I have it at a good spot ... 5 settlers with 20 defense and 15 combined food + water.
