Detailed list of IMPROVED provisioner routes

[KLLZ]

Here is a list of better, but less obvious routes for provisioners. If you play on Survival where fast travel is disabled, then this is definitely for you. Likewise, if you like aesthetics and common sense, this is also for you. FYI, this is still a WIP so feel free to contribute any findings here as well. Additionally, I exclude popular routes that actually work (i.e. Sanctuary to Red Rocket). This list is meant to show which popular routes do not work and provide an alternative.

 

1. Abernathy to Starlight. This is preferred over Red Rocket to Starlight because provisioners don't actually go through Concord. They like to go to Abernathy first and then take the road west of Abernathy down towards Starlight.

 

2. Sunshine Tidings to Graygarden. This is preferred over Starlight to Graygarden because provisoners like to avoid the train track heading south and instead takes the long way eastward and through Boston.

 

3. Covenant to Zimonja. It is very tempting to connect Tenpines and Zimonja, but there is no actual road between the two settlements. Provisioner will take a detour.

 

4. Taffington (Needs testing). Taffington to Greentop actually does not work. Provisioner from Taffington likes to go south towards Bunker Hill and then north towards the bridge to get to Greentop. Some options are Zimonja to Taffington, Taffington to Bunker Hill, Taffington to County Crossing.

 

These are my observations thus far. Feel free to add your observations.

 

UPDATE:

 

5. Red Rocket to Tenpines. Provisioner will not take the train tracks directly from Starlight to Tenpines. They go through the north of Concord.

 

6. Egret Tours (Needs testing). Several options just like Taffington above. Egret Tours to Jamaica Plains does not work. Provisioner will head north towards Diamond City instead of taking the small road between the two.
