RE: Random pics of various improved places
As for arming settlers:
1. Avoid giving them big hooting weapons like missile launchers. This will result in other settlers limping around from splash damage.
2. Avoid giving them energy weapons. Energy weapons are rubbish.
3. Avoid giving them weapons with mods that only benefit you, like scopes and night vision. Sometimes you can't help this if you buy from traders, but settlers usually fire from the hip and waste any mods you would find helpful.
The best arm for a settler is a ballistic automatic gun. Settlers are lousy shots. Watch them try to hit things with their pipe pistols. Maybe one out of four attempts will connect. Their chances of doing damage are greatly increased with automatic fire. I have seen this with my own eyes time after time. Ten settlers with submachine guns or automatic assault rifles will shred enemies very rapidly.
And the nice thing is that you only ever have to give them one bullet. As long as they have one in their inventory, they magically reproduce all they want.
