A Fallout 4 player has set up an absurd amount of supply lines across the entity of the wasteland. Supply lines are an integral part of Fallout 4’s settlement-building system. They allow for the transport of valuable goods between established settlements and, more thematically, help the player bridge the gap between distant people and towns in a world that has fallen apart.

When two settlements are connected via a supply line, those settlements will have access to any workshop items in either settlement. If a player has tons of settlements cleverly webbed together via supply lines spread all around the map, they’ll never be too far away from their entire supply of resources. Weapons and food cannot be transferred between settlements. Supply lines are only for sharing scrap items to be used in Fallout 4’s settlement-building system.

A provisioner is the NPC the player has assigned to transport resources between settlements. One of the cool fringe benefits of the provisioner is that once assigned to be the delivery person for two settlements, they can be found out in the open world walking their designated path. If a player wandering the wasteland runs into some trouble and there just so happens to be a provisioner walking their route nearby, the provisioner will jump into the fray to help.

That’s why what Fallout 4 player and Redditor BoominShroomer has done with their settlement supply lines is so wild. With their confusing mess of supply lines, they’ve connected every single settlement to each other. They’ve essentially turned the Commonwealth into what might be the most united chunk of land in the entire Fallout universe. That’s practically a fully-functioning society again. But there are more practical benefits. A clustered mess of supply lines means that any structure that can be built in the game can be built at any settlement with ease. As long as the player drops off whatever scraps they collect in their explorations into a settlement workshop (in this case, literally any workshop), they’ve got what they need to rebuild the Commonwealth.

With that many supply lines crisscrossing the map, no matter where the player is, they’ll most likely have a provisioner nearby who can help if things get hairy. And a provisioner doesn’t have to be a person. It can be, say, three Sentry Bots armed to the teeth with high-powered machine guns and long health bars. By reconnecting a dispersed population, BoominShroomer has created a network of goons who will gladly do all the dirty work required to keep them safe as they travel the wastelands.

Fallout 4 is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions coming in 2023.
