Not far from Wilmington, Delaware DBond`? I've always believed that Delaware is one of those unnecessary and boring States that should just be absorbed by a bigger State. In this case Delaware should just be absorbed into Maryland. Another good example is Rhode Island. Just make it part of Connecticut.

About 60 miles as the crow flies, which is about 96 kilometers.
If not for Delaware, Pennsylvania would be the first state and think of all those license plates that would have to be changed.
If you want to see where I am, look at a map of southern New Jersey, south of Atlantic City where there is a peninsula with Cape May at the tip. That's where I am.

Sorry for asking. Just interested because we often flew over the area when inbound to Newcastle Airport in Wilmington. Depending on trafic, but I guess they wanted us out of the trafic to Philadelphia. We flew in newborn children that should undergo heart surgery that was not available in Norway. Looks like a nice area to live in. Fantastic beaches. Thought you lived in New York for some reason. Didn`t catch your slang.

Oh, no worries, I like the question just fine.
Yes, our beaches are amazing!
You probably flew right over me a time or two and congrats on your life-saving mission. That's awesome man.
NooJoyzee is sort of how the people in the (northern half of the) state might pronounce New Jersey, think the Sopranos.
In the south we are a bit more refined than that.

It was the medical crew in the back that did a fantastic job. We just did the flying bit. We always looked forward to those trips. Loved the people there. We stayed over night and flew empty back so we took us time to go shopping . Alexandra Mall I think it was. My kids got american stuff they could show off with.

Thanks, but not yet. It will be, eventually. Got some decorations up, got my work benches and a bar. It will be fun to see how it evolves over time. Location's good, nice view of the 13th green haha. Can practice my putts.
Did you choose a legendary perk?
I was at your camp the other day and wanted to say that using a bed off the ground prevents picking up diseases and afflictions while sleeping (if you do). The Well Rested condition boosts XP a little bit so it's a good idea to sleep now and then. Sleeping bags and that sort of thing have a chance to afflict you.
Speaking of beds, I want a clean twin-sized bed plan. Like the one with a green cover you always see in military camps or similar. The one I've been using is soiled and nasty. I've been hoping to find the plan but I don't even know what is called. Like all the locked bed options have the same name. Yes I chose the same legendary perk card as you did. Plus doubled up. Will use some time on how I will do my cards now that I have more to play with. My camp is a mess. I built out of necessety once and have added items after. I have to find some plans and earn some money first.

Camps are an interesting thing in this game. Some are incredibly intricate and well done, some are the most basic approach possible. You and Panzer went with more spartan arrangements, plopping down your necessities but not paying much heed to the aesthetics. Function above form, which is always the better choice if sticking to one end of the scale or the other. I try to strike something of a balance, although my camps will win no neighborhood beautification awards. But I try to make them look like it all fits together. I spent more time at the Whitesprings camp yesterday, adding some stuff. It's actually the 5th green I am overlooking, not the 13th  The trick or treating challenges have made me visit far more camps than I would normally and I've seen quite a few really nice ones. A lot of work went in to some of these camps.

I had the strangest and extraordinary experience at the Mall tonight. I had almost finished the "Coming to Fruition" quest when the game crashed. A little frustrating as I had used a lot of time and was just about to load the Master Holotape. So I restarted the game and went to the mall to buy some ammo. First I went into the "craftsroom" to the robot at the counter and checked if there was something in his register. Sometimes there is something strangely enough. This time it was loaded with plans! At the same time a player had gone crazy and shot at everybody.in the lobby. He even forced himself between me and the counter. Finally I counted around 40 plans in my Peep Boy. I took some screenshots to see which plans I got and this is one of them. Obviously a bug. Have any of you seen something like it? ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/4RNJKkl.png)

Good score man.
OK,a few possibilities
-- A bug.
-- A player decided to discard them. People do this all the time, stuffing containers (especially suitcases at train stations) for others to find, or maybe they just want to get rid of it. But why would someone just get rid of these plans, unless of course they already know them and have no vendor or desire to sell them, because that is a lot of plans to find in one go.
-- The funniest possibility is this was a player's attempt to transfer the plans to his alt character. He dropped them while a friend hung out in the server so that he could return with his second character to grab them. But you found them first, and that's the dude shooting up the joint since you stole his plans. lol
Honestly who knows?

Hopped on last night for about an hour. Not really chasing the scoreboard any more, although I think I found out this season goes through December 5, so plenty of time to keep going. I've hit level 71 or thereabouts which is the farthest yet for me.
Worked on the new camp a bit, and mostly did events, just joining whichever one popped up. Tunnel of Love, Uranium Fever.Once again I fouled up and showed up to Moonshine with my camp loadout. I was doing 14 damage lol. But I had landed with the all-star team in this one. The other players were really strong, so I just found a perch and plinked everything I could swing my muzzle on, and maybe for once actually took out more ammo than I spent!
I like the location I chose for this second camp. It's pretty busy around there, and I can walk out the door and find a lot of enemies just around the corner. And of course the mall and the bunker are both in the neighborhood too. Pretty good spot. Stop by for a drink. And I got candy.

Fun seeing you online today DBond.
I am struggling with ammo. I was tricked into a fight with assault robots yesterday that cost me most of my ammo. I was planning to visit your new camp, but you were gone when I logged in again.

Likewise. It was fun taking out those ghouls together. What caused your death at the top of the stairs? I heard a howl, like from the Nightstalker in One Violent Night and you fell dead. I came over to revive you but it wasn't possible. That particular building at the Whitespring is dangerous, lots of ghouls in there and often a glowing one. When you disturb them they rise and come after you. It's right next door to my second camp so I've been farming it a bit.

That was pure overconfidence. I followed you and forgot my power armor. Reminds me that I need to craft the secret service armor. I miss some items. May be I can get those when joining in an event. I miss the right leg I think. What do you buy from Rusty Pick? I don`t see a description other than stars and notes like Legendary Ranged Weapon and so forth.

The only thing I buy from the Pick is legendary modules. The rest is random, and might not be right for my perk soup. A legendary ranged weapon could be just about anything.
I'd rather just buy modules so I have control over how they are used rather than trust in RNGeesus to grant me a useful item.
To craft SS all you need is adhesive, cloth, steel and oil I think along with one module. What are you missing?
If you need a piece let me know, and I could whip one up for you when I see you next. The effects would be random of course. Minerva is back today but doesn't have the SS plans. She does have the grocer's backpack mod though.
Yes, you should certainly make a set of SS.

I only missed the Legendary Modules. I miss SS right leg, so I have to use a substitute.
I just crafted the SS parts and they turned out with different mods it seems. Like Overeaters, Zealots etc- I guess thet is different strengths that I can change randomly.
I will check up on Miranda. I have the Chemist`s small back pack. May be the grocer`s is better?

It's better if you carry more weight in food than chems. I use the chemists as mentioned before..
Yes, the effects you roll are random. Keep doing so until you have a full set of three-star pieces is my advice. I like Vanguard or Aristocrats. Overeaters is good too. Unyielding is amazing, but you need to go Bloodied build which honestly I think is silly and I won't be doing that. I don't fool with mutations either, but this is the path to ultimate damage, Bloodied and Mutated.
Just keep crafting new pieces as you can afford to until you have a full set of three-star effects that you like. Having one piece with healing and one piece with radiation removal is a nice quality of life advantage.
Then, save your bullion to buy the Buttressed mods for each piece to add even more protection.
Consider defensive perks like Fireproof, Blocker, Ricochet, Junk Shield and Bodyguards to improve your DR and survivability.
Let me know if you get a SS leg you're missing. Otherwise I'll make you one when we meet next.

Wow. I just have to admire your knowledge. I don`t think I will find a SS right leg and helmet. I haven`t reached Vaul 79 yet as that is the only place to buy the plans I think. I hope I will be able to give something back, as I have said before.

Thanks, but if I hadn't learned the game after 330 hours I'd be embarrassed  Don't worry too much about the helmet. It grants no protection, just completes the set from an aesthetic point of view. I did not buy the helmet plan. You owe me nothing, but if you have an extra vintage water cooler plan I'd take that. Or an anti-armor Handmade. I see Minerva also has the super reactor plan. Is there an advantage to that over the fusion generator, does anyone know? Nope, I'm wrong, she does not have that plan this week.

Strange.
I got a Large Vault-Tec supply package for completing the scorecard. It says it should be scrapped at a work bench to reveal the content.
But there is no package to scrap?
