Thanks! And wow 25 settlements! I have less than 10 operational so far. I added recruitment beacons to them last night and some standard shacks with more beds. It's a shame roofs are so finicky in placement. It would be cool if you could fix the roofs of existing housing (without building it high above them) Sometimes it lets you place a piece or two, most ot the time it won't.

With Mirelurks I find that a fully upgraded 10mm hand pistol is more effective. You can squeeze off rounds as fast as your fingers allow. I guess the machine gun works too, too heavy to carry around though. I took McReady along last night, my carry capacity went down by a hundred without the lone wanderer perk, and I do less damage too. He keeps making fun of me when I pick up junk. Then I make him carry it.

The Cabot family follow up quest seems bugged for me. I have to talk to Jack Cabot but he ignores me :( Hopefully it will reset after some more time. I went to clear out Hangman Alley instead, another settlement. Dunno why Preston wants a recruitment beacon there, doesn't look like a good location for a settlement if you ask me.

Did you get Spectacle island yet btw? I read that's the biggest and highest settlement area. Is that where your beach house is perhaps?

Yeah, it's a shame that we can do nothing with A-frame roofs at all.  I also wish it would let me add half size walls and sand bag fortifications.

With mirelurks, a combat shotgun with a drum mag does the trick pretty well.  Energy weapons are also good.  The queen, though, is the size of a house and that acid is deadly.  I'm going to need to use a Fat Man, probably.  If she won't spawn until I'm right on top of her then I'll just have to run and leave poor Preston to be eaten.

Hangman's Alley is a good fast travel spot for that area but it sucks defensively.  Not much you can do except aim turrets at the door.

Haven't done Spectacle Island.  I don't know much about it except it has another Mirelurk Queen.  I think I have four or five places left, including BoS quarters.  I did buy the house in Diamond City.  My beach house is at Nordhagen beach.
