mnixon999 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 How many caps would you pay for a Fusion Generator? Heavy turrets? New chemistry workbench? All to be shipped to your settlement. You don't need perks or materials, just caps! I am wanting input for a mod I am working. I am having a hard time settling on prices. Please let me know what you'd pay for these, and also if you are a player who invests in barter perks and benefits. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobtheHobo24 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Fusion Generator: 5,000-10,000+ caps easily. It powers buildings for centuries, so it should be invaluable to any ramshackle settlement. Heavy Turrets: 700-1000 caps. These things are relentless defenders, day and night. They could end up saving your life, so their value is relatively high up (though come to think of it, I don't believe I have ever seen any turrets but the Missile ones kill anything, but I'm trying to think realistically). Now, by "New" Chemistry Workbench, do you mean brand-spanking-right-off-the-showroom-floor new, or new as in just new to your possession? If former, it would be VERY high, but I'm going to logically asssume you meant the latter, which is around 1,000-2,000 caps. It lets you create your own drugs that you could sell for a fortune or keep for yourself to aid in combat, thus potentially saving your life.

mnixon999 Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 Thanks for the input Bob! Originally I had the Fusion Generstor set for 5900 base, and that equated to 15,300 in game. I thought that was too much and people who downloaded my mod would want it to be more obtainable. I lowered it to 1750 to have a ~3000 cost in game, but that feels too cheap. Good to know someone would pay 5-10k. I think I will aim for a in game cost (no perks) of 7500-8000. The turrets I have ranging from 250-350 base (600-900 in game for me) and I think I will just up the missile one a little. I do mean a new to you workbench. It would be the same model you could build at your settlement. I think 1000-2000 is a good amount for those too. I'll probably have the weapon bench be closer to 2000.

ReaperTai Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Cool idea. If you are referring to the 35 power fusion id say thats about right, the 100 power one would be like 35k or more. The turrets should be a bit varied based off of type. The mg one should be "fairly" cheap since is easier to get stuff but say a laser one should be expensive. Workbenches could also have a tiered price, the crappy chem station and the big desk like one, or the wireframe weapons or the actual bench style. Say like 1000-1500 for the crappy one and 2500-3000 for the bigger/nicer one. You could even make a special shop for it "only place in the comonwealth to get these" type thing. As to my perks/etc...well im a massive settlement builder so I always invest in perks to build with, even over damage/survival perks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnixon999 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Thanks for the reply Reaper. The Fusion generator I am referring to is an 80 power fusion generator. All these items are sold by a new merchant I created. So it is a "only place to get these" type of setup. Everything he sells is not quite as good as if you had the perks to build it. Turrets are 1-2 defense less and generators are a little less (he sells large generator too). I do think 35k is too much. I want these to be obtatainable with out having to "cap farm" for a long time to buy one. On the flip side I don't want to make them too easy to get and it feel like a cheap alternative to not using perks and easy to get one for all your settlements. But I am for sure noting your opinion of willing to pay a high amount. I may also end up doing 2 options for the mod; normal prices and half price. So I could have the Fusion up there for normal. Good idea about the types of workbenches. Didn't think about that. Also more variance in turrets may be a good call. Do you perk to science 4 just for the generator? I did in my first play through.

mnixon999 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Also to note: my mod adjusts the power output of the vanilla generators to 5/12/24 and 7 for windmill. So a Fusion is not 10x more power but more like 4-5x. I am not set on those power outputs so they may and probably will change some. I think that effects the value some.
