It seems that since my friend and I have created a settlement, we've had a lot of luck. Resources are at a good rise and we have a fair location.
But the thing that gets me is the people. we've come across atleast 3 different people that will say hello and then leave us things such as deer, seeds, or hi-q materials.
Point of this post: Thanks guys, your help is appreciated.
Btw, i haven't posted on forums much. so if this is in the wrong place, let me know.
