Title: Encountered farmers/homsteaders
Post by: TheGreenHand on October 02, 2010, 08:03:00 pm
"- Some of the encountered Farmers and Homesteaders can be persuaded by factions' leaders to settle in their outpost, and provide their services as gatherers."

Alright, so did anyone try this out?  Our leader went looking for both farmers and homesteaders, with open companion slots.  Homesteaders have a dialog box, but it's just to trade.  Farmers do not.  It says "some" of them, but I don't know which ones.  Does anyone know how this works?  Or what they actually do?

Me neither man, it would be nice to know. But otherway, the homesteaders always attack me and i dont remember have shot them before.
I hope all this thing could be fixed or cleared soon. Good luck, mate!

This stuff is pretty cool i tried it with homestanders
First you must find homestanders now talk with every homestander there should be one and talk about debt
You must pay him 5k and he will say that he come to your base
In base you meet him and he will offer to do something for you
he can give you
fruits,fibers,radscorpions tail,gecko and golden gecko pelts, wood
but you can take only one thing in a day (dunno if in game day or real day)
And if you again meet homestanders they will not offer you dialogue about farming for you
Now im trying farmers...

That's really how it works?  You have to carry 5k caps on you?

Its simple
Take your leader, give him armor and find encounters near redding or
take your PvP(PvE) character and find encounter and give radio signal to another player that will come with leader and 5k
Farmer can give you 22 fibers, 20 fruits, 5 scorpion tails ,wood,and geckoes pelts
but if u want scorpion tailes you must give him sharpened spear
for normal gecko pelts he want 2 hunting rifles and 10 223
and for golden gecko pelts he want 2 assault rifles and 30 5mm

its useful for big faction or relog players

You need to prepare 5k caps, take char being a leader of faction, then find Homestaders and talk with all of them. One is talking about debt he needs to pay off, after giving him caps he disappears from location and spawns in your base.
You need to give him some guns and bullets in exchange for goods like wood, pelts and so on. You can do it only once per day, dunno yet a real life day or game day.
Every gang member can ask him.

Homestaders are around Redding, mostly.

Its in-game day.  So far, it seems i can't get more than one.  The farmers around klamath don't have a dialog option,  either.

I suppose that you need to find a "special" farmers encounter. Because usually they just start a fight with You. So it must be an enco where the farmers are neutral and have dialogue option.

Well you get 10 normal pelts for the hunting rifles.  I imagine its 10 golden pelts.  However, the guns aren't consumed, just the ammo.  So don't look at it like you're losing those assault rifles.

You get 5 golden gecko pelts.

Our homestader shoots every non-member he sees, so we put him into peaceful and quiet place, where no-one enters.

It was even easy - one of us punched him and ran into this house, then let Leon to kill him.

Useful feature, however it needs a bit work yet.

Yeah ours isn't fond of non-members but it's only if you have a weapon out.  If you're unarmed you're fine.

Post by: trader on November 10, 2010, 12:18:48 pm
you can have it in eny kinde of base but there is problem he do only 1 work per day and not for all members of fraction or just i have a problem with him hehe
and next problem is that he could get bugged and you will not be able to speek to him again so no dialog option this bug was confirmed by admin and it should be resolved soon so look out for your caps :D
