Fallout 4 Settlements

In Fallout 4, the player character, the Sole Survivor, can build and manage their own settlements. Unlike the previous games, in Fallout 4 the character can also make their own improvements for their house by going to the work bench and selecting the proper button. They will then be put in the settlement user interface that shows stats for materials and lets players use menus to create the items. Such as chairs, beds, complex electrical systems that power turrets and programmable lights, as well as prefab sections to make doors stairs and rooms. But to create every item the player needs to use materials, to acquire materials character needs to "scrap" certain items to convert them into materials, like plastic, metal, and wood. For example they can get rubber from scraping tires, screws from toy cars, and metal from toasters. But can also scrap certain buildings to convert them into materials.

For making settlements, the character can make houses for people to live in and equip them with basic household needs, like water and electricity. People will come and inhabit the homes, but critters, from beasts to raiders, may come and attack the settlement. The Sole Survivor will have to protect their settlement (personally or by crafting turrets and bots), else it will be desolated.
