It's an eye-roller to me that the SS runs around the commonwealth solving every problem every random jerk has, from the most mundane to the most complex, but can't seem to water a plant to save his life. The simplest way I could think of to insert something into this system, without altering / breaking it, would be an 'invisible settler' that the game considers as assigned to food production. That out of the way - the settlement system is very complicated and is always doing stuff quietly in the background. Not six plants! So six Mutfruit (they're 1 food each), or 12 corn (which are 0.5 food each), or any combo. So it's not ideal.Ī single settler - human or robot - can work 6 food-units' worth of farm.

You may not be taking your character in a direction that supports this, even if you have the DLC and it is resource-intensive to create robots early, and you can't even get them until at least level 15. If you have the DLC, you can poop robots to work your farms. This is ironic in that if you didn't have these random strangers you tricked invited in to work your farm, you'd have less mouths to feed.Īutomatron robots are, once created, little different from any other settler. You are warned :]įor the record: this is probably better known by now but yes, you need someone assigned to a crop to have it produce harvestable food. I am not bad at creating the effects I want. I may be able to kludge something together for this. Thread necro time! I went looking for something like this, too, and found y'all here.
