maximize benefits from raider settlements and gangs... Sorry English is not my native language...

First get Preston out of Condor. Build several settlements and do some Minuteman missions. Get Prestons Perk. At level 15 do first quest from Automatron to get Robotworkbench. Do Old Guns mission from minutemen.

Do not build these settlements radio tower or send settlers.If you want Artillery, you can build that, because now its only time. After Raiders take over, there is no Artillery inSpecial section (Unless build menu clitch, that allows me build artillery three raider settlement).

• Taffington boathouse
  
• Hangman alley
  
• Spectacle island
  
• Kingsport Lighthouse
  
• Starlight Drive-Inn
  
• Jamaica Plain
  
• Outpost Zimonja
  
• Murkwater lighthouse

(Any other empty can be used instead some of this list)

Build several settlements to max, like 30 beds, stores and 40 food or more. More is better, nowdays I use only settlements that has over 100 Food becuase only 50% of food go raiders. Good settlements for this is Abernathy farm, Finch Farm, Red Rocket Truck, Castle, Sanctuary, Gray garden, Sunshine tidings Co-op etc... Remember buid artillery. Send Preston to Castle.

You can build what places you want, I use some places exsamples as I did my game, like red Rocket as Provisioner target....

High charisma help lot. Several Rad Aways, bobby pins and many stimpacks. Weapons depends you style.

After gaunlet and boss battle, talk Leaders. After several speech checks, you can get unique weapon from Pack leader. Speak N.I.R.A and ask medallions, because quest can glitch if found certain medallion before talking N.I.R.A. Speak Sierra and get classes. Speak doctor in Market and get Open Season.

Think what Gang perks you want, you can get only two...

• Operators, silenced weapon damage and stealth bonus in shadows
  
• Pack, Using melee or unarmed get higher DR and damage.
  
• Disciples, melee kills restore action points

Reclaim 5 parts of Nuka World. Give one place to gang which perk you dont want. Other gangs get two places and you get perks later. Note You get Robots parts some places. There are Power armor in Bottling Plant.

Speak Shanks, say taht you take settlement by force/killing settlers. Now You get list to choose settlements. If you have found Taffington boathouse, It should be in list. You cant take any settlements that has companions. Don not choose any premade settlements or settlements that have peoples already like Oberland station, Warrick, Slog etc..

Now talk to Mason in pack place and Dixie in Fizztop mountain to get grenades and bluprints for those.

Go settlement that you coose and gang says that there is nobody to fight with. Build first robot workbench and one robot. Assing it as provisioner to Red Rocket.... Build place, beds, nuka world radio, Pick Up stations, water, amplifier etc... Do not use farmers.. Its lower happiness.

Return Nuka World, speak for shank as getting vassal settlement. Say that you speak for settlers as taking it peacfully. Choose one of your prebuild settlements, bigger is better. You lose that settlements and best of all, Preston wont like you.... Avoid him and Castle until Power Play mission. Send Shank to your settlement in commonwealth. Note dont use that gang which perk you dont want.

Now talk to Lizzy in Parlor (operator house) and get some grenades and blue prints for those.

Get stuff from treasury chest from five different parts of Nuka World.

Speak choosen settlement leader, you can use Lizzies grenades or caps to get settlement. Now settlement provides food and caps to you.

Now maximize other settlements Food production and check that those have supply line to Red Rocket etc.. I have over 70 Food production in red Rocket and sanctuary.

Speak again Shank and make two other settlements taking by force, avoid using gang which perk you dont want.

Speak Shank and do Power Play mission.

Do some missions, hunt medallions, cappy in haystack mission, build Nuka World Red Rocket settlement, get Quantum power armor colleting Star Cores(Junk Yard star core respawn), there are several normal power armors in Nuka World Map (Power Plant, Bunker with Power line top at in SE powerplant, building with stigwing hive top between Safari adventure and Dry Rock Gulch, Morton residence, Bradberton Overpass, Military vechiles west of dry rock gulch), explore Shovel Museum and Mystery Mansion etc..

One in while return to Nuka World to Amoral Combat missions.. Do at Least Rogue Knight, he has unique Gattling Laser... Shooting cores in power armors with Deliver, critical hits and Penetrator perk can give you power armor frames...

Speak bosses who are still alive, those give you legendary weapons.

Check chest in Grilltop as Commonwealth tributes.

Note You may have to get some vassal settlements to supply food you raider settlements.

Build raider stores in settlements.

Build five more Raider settlements ....use empty settlements.

Build Tribute chest in settlements. Assing raider to chest. Check those chest sometimes

Get Porter Gage perk.

Be happy raider as long you want.

Do open season mission aka Kill all raider bosses and kill rest of raiders... Shank will return and Porter will get mad.

Visit those parts of Nuka World that you give gangs. Take back Red Rocket.

Return Commonwealth, visit vassal settlements. Kill raiders from vassal settlements and speak different settlers until they give you Minuteman mission to get back settlement. Do missions and vassal settlement are back to you. Note Some how Abernathy has 28 settlers, even that was 21 :)
