That looks like a great place to build :) Great name and great pier. I added another level and an attic to my Starlight drive-in building yet ran out of steel again before I could finish it. Luckily a merchanct in DC sells 4x100 shipments of steel. All my poor people have to sleep on the floor in sleeping bags.
MacReady finally started talking to me and gave me another place to go to. Meanwhile Hancock (mayor or Goodneighboor) has become available as a companion too. He might be more fun than MacReady. Anybody might be more fun. MacReady is more effective without ammo btw, he does more damage with the other end of a weapon :/ Oh well, I'll help him one more time, then head back to DC. I hope the cops have forgotten about my botched prison escape attempt. I didn't leave anyone to tell the tale yet they instantly knew outside. Damn clairvoyent npcs.
And yes I have to walk around the fort now when I fall off. Or pick up a block and glitch through :) I'm afraid of using missile launchers. They're more likely to hit my own settlers the way this game works.
Go loot Spectacle Island. An insane amount of wood but a lot of steel, too, though much of it is in the water.
You probably already know this but you don't need to give your companions ammo for their default weapon. They will sometimes pick up guns off the ground and I'm pretty sure they need ammo for those. Piper absolutely loved the radiation gun she picked up. Cait is a pretty good companion as she uses a shotgun and baseball bat and she sometimes knocks melee opponents down.
Here is a tender moment with Cait.
I got Preston's perk, finally. Thank god that's over. It wasn't hard to get but he kept giving me quests when I just wanted to trade.
Holy cats, I just found out that MacCready was in Fallout 3. Wow, I did not realize.
