Fallout 4: How to Increase Settlement Happiness

Check the Basics

Whether you’re at your settlement or on one of the long, dusty trails of the wasteland, you can always check how your settlements are getting along. The very first thing to achieve settlement happiness should always be to ensure that food and water are a plenty.

If you’re not ticking these two boxes, it makes your settlers a lot more difficult to be happy. Can you blame them? They have no food or water! In order to combat this, plant plenty of crops and build some water pumps in order to get the basics in place. Once you’ve got these down, your happiness should generally increase quite a bit. From here on out, it’s all down to a couple of neat tricks.

Oh, and don’t forget to assign workers to keep the food coming.
