Food that is cooked is exponentially more beneficial and less harmful to your character than uncooked food.ĭon’t forget that for your dwelling, you will likely want storage containers as well. Some of the more useful modifications cannot be unlocked until later levels, but it’s good to at least have areas to start with.Īn area to cook your food is also extremely useful. Build a dwelling that will fit several beds (including one for yourself).Īfter that is built, focus on workbenches that can help develop your character. The first thing to focus on is your own dwelling. Now that you have enough resources to get started, make sure that you don’t get carried away right off the bat. Green outlined items can be moved and stored. One thing to note is that anything in a yellow outline is something that cannot be moved, stored, or rebuilt. From the fallen trees, to the run-down houses, to the various pieces of junk strewn about the area, there is a good chance you find everything you need to get started on a settlement that is sure to rival Diamond City. Make sure to spend the first little bit in Sanctuary going all through as much of the area as you can while staying in “workshop mode”.

Thankfully, the game does well with providing you quite a bit of resources from the now abandoned and ruined neighborhood of Sanctuary. To build a settlement, you are going to need a lot of resources.

If this is your first time playing (or focusing on settlement building), it’s likely that your first settlement is going to be Sanctuary.
