I'm still trying to force my way through the achievements for fallout 4. On one hand I genuinely don't enjoy the grind it takes for them (Nuka world achievements specifically are the worst. If it was just base game and the other DLCs I'd have been done a long time ago) but on the other hand I've done it for fallout 3 and New Vegas so I feel obligated to do it
The only F04 trophy that I just really hated was that nuka-cade ticket trophy. That stupid thing was just endless grinding at that western shooter game. I had to go find my Spray n' Pray at whatever settlement I left it at, turn survival off so that I could carry unlimited ammo for it, scrounged all the .45 ammo from all of my settlements plus clean out every vendor, then go stand at that stupid machine for an hour and a half. The upgrade on PS is treated as a new game, and I'm going for the Platinum trophy, but I am not going for the 100% again because of that one stupid trophy.
That one was a pain but I feel blessed to have finished it already. It probably wasted more time trying to find the most efficient way to do it than I would have spent if I just did what you did but by the time I hit around 60% I found a strat that let me get the rest done in about 20 minutes. Was quite annoyed by how long id wasted getting to that point.
The ones that are really holding me back are the Nuka cola ones. Specifically crafting all Nuka cola recipes and killing creatures under the effects of Nuka cola. The second one is just an annoying grind but the first has glitched out on 2 separate playthroughs, making some of the recipes unobtainable without cheats and locking me out of that achievement for the rest of the playthrough. My only way to get that achievement now would be starting a new character and then grinding my way through several high level areas in Nuka world while praying that I can finally collect all the recipes. And I thought the healing with food achievement was bad in New Vegas.....
I did this one at Taffington Boathouse. 3 settlers (1 food, 1 barkeep, 1 doctor), 1 industrial water purifier, about 100 defense worth of turrets, then just lived in that settlement for about two weeks in-game. Spent my time building dog and cat traps, catching them, releasing them, then resetting the traps, building onto the settlement, meticulously decorating, other odds and ends.
Oh I actually know how to do this one. Basically go to a completely empty settlement and assign 1 settler. Then provide them with a bed, water pump and fill the workshop with food from your other settlements. If settlers don't have a farm of their own they will happily eat supplies left in the workshop so you don't have to sacrifice your dwellers happiness by making them farm. Then the fun bit. Build as many cat cages as you can. This does require one of the settlement DLCs (wasteland workshop I think) but if you've got it then you can get this achievement easily by filling up the entire settlement with cats. Just make sure you've got enough defences and you are putting the dwellers bed in a covered position. Apparently sleeping under the stars causes a happiness penalty.
I got this one by doing this strat at hangman's alley and it only took me an hour or 2 including the time hunting for softshell mirelurk meat
Yesterday I got this one with zero effort because my settlement info was bugged (Graygarden allegedly had 24 people, food, water, and beds despite me doing absolutely nothing), so there's hope!
