Fortunately for you, we\u2019re here to help.<\/p>\n<p>Read on to find out how many Fallout settlement locations there are, how to unlock them all, and for our tips on the best settlement locations and how to improve them.<\/p>\n<h2><b>How many settlements are in Fallout 4?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In the base game, <b>there are 30 settlements in Fallout 4<\/b>. If you own all of the DLC expansions, <b>there are 37 unlockable settlements<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of the settlement locations can be unlocked by completing a set objective or by killing enemies or residents in the area. You will need to open the workshop to begin your new life at the settlement of your choosing.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, it seems as though you can run every settlement if you wish. If you can cope with setting them all up and keeping up with any admin attached, that\u2019s up to you.<\/p>\n<p>Setting up and running two or three settlements will be fine for most players.<\/p>

Top locations<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The best Fallout 4 settlements will provide you with ample room for crop growing, settler management and letting you put your own stamp on them (or providing memorable locations).<\/p>\n<p>Given there are 37 in the game in total (30 in the base game, seven in the DLC expansions), it can be tricky to know which settlement is best. While that decision is entirely up to you, some locations are better than others.<\/p>\n<p>To get the ball rolling, this helpful YouTube video from Grey Gaming outlines five of the best settlements in Fallout 4:<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"5 Best Settlement Build Sites in Fallout 4\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FBtk_xKdSow?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>We agree with Grey Gaming \u2013 <b>Egret Tours Marina<\/b>, <b>Dalton Farm<\/b>, <b>Abernathy Farm<\/b>, <b>Red Rocket Truck Stop<\/b> and <b>Starlight Drive-In <\/b>are all great settlements. You can\u2019t go far wrong with any of them.<\/p>\n<p>If farming is your choice, Abernathy Farm is a brilliant option.<\/p>\n<p>Starlight Drive-In is potentially the best all-around settlement. It\u2019s large, flat, and has water and great undamaged buildings and structures. We\u2019d recommend you head here, as it\u2019s potentially the easiest location to manage.<\/p>\n<p><b>Spectacle Island<\/b>, meanwhile, is probably best for, you know, spectacle. You can create a spectacular settlement here.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sanctuary Hills<\/b> is a quality choice, too, and better yet, you unlock it by default. It\u2019s a nice tutorial settlement for a reason, and has plenty of scope for good settlement building.<\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"4c7dc1b16fa9a14d4b620b32224984b5fe070134\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"4c7dc1b16fa9a14d4b620b32224984b5fe070134\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <h2><b>Fallout 4 settlement tips \u2013 How to improve your settlement<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>To get the most out of your settlements in Fallout 4, you\u2019ll need to make sure you\u2019re setting things up correctly. A great tip is to<strong> build food crop farms on flat land<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unlocking level six Charisma and the Local Leader perk is almost essential<\/strong>. Doing this will allow you to create supply lines between your settlements. Do this to be able to use any materials from any settlement that\u2019s attached to that supply line.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re running low on materials needed for crafting settlement objects, you can highlight components at any Workbench. Do this and the crafting items you need will be highlighted with a little magnifying glass logo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Assign settlers to crops, guard posts and shops to get more out of your
