there's an "ammo factory" legendary perk too which gives you 50% more ammo from crafting you can equip very early (level 1 i think?)
You can only equip it from the start if you already have another character that's at least Level 50 to unlock the first legendary perk slot for your account.

Don't bother with the munitions factory workshop - you'll spend a ton of ammo getting it and keeping it, you get bugger all back and you'll make yourself a target for anyone who wants to claim it without having to clear it out first...
Ammosmith, Super Duper, and Ammo factory legendary perk will be your friends
All possible downsides but I've never had someone try to take a workshop from me, and I don't find it hard taking or defending them afterwards (though I do have full defense crafting and basically build impregnable firebases around them
). Clearing and defending also bring their own rewards. But ultimately yes workshops can get in the way of general play and the perks matter more, they just take time to build with your characters whereas the workshop stuff having no levelling dependancies helps earlier on.
Right now I'm finally sitting on a ton of ammo and lead but to get here I signed up for Fallout 1st, probably just for one month but we'll see, then every 3-4 days do an extended farm session on a private world. Typically I'll take the Converted Munitions Factory/Charleston Landfill/Federal Disposal Field/Hemlock Holes workshops and cycle around defending and collecting for a few hours in between quick activities. Not the most exciting game sessions but plenty of XP and both harvested and event reward resources.0 -

To update on my ammo issues i met a random Irish guy on a casual team and he crafting the railway gun for me that uses steel only to craft its ammo and this has helped bigtime plus the thing is a bit of a beast.
I never really bothered too much with vats in 76 but this yoke with vats is excellent, the guy that crafted it said use with vats and enjoy, he was very definitely correct.
Meanwhile i built the excavator power armour mentioned in that video above.
Sorry forgot to mention the Railway gun, I got a nice 3-Star legendary one at level 30 that really helped for exactly this reason. It was my fallback whenever other ammo was running low. I only retired it around level 80. No VATS though, I know gun-play in this is janky but I hate that thing. 0 -

Originally, pre-One Wasteland, I was all about the single-shot rifles. Post-1W though, and as I've levelled up a decent bit, it's a definite mixed bag, but it's almost half and half split between automatic rifles and heavy weapons.
The main issue with trying to stay spec'd into rifles is they weigh so god-damn much. Every other weapon class (pistol/melee/heavy/explosive) has perks for massive weight reduction, while rifles have nothing; to the extent where my first three weapons (Lever-Action/Auto Tesla Rifle/Fixer) combined weigh about the same as the ten or so heavy guns and 90% reduced weight melee weapons I also carry around (including stuff like Gatling Gun/Flamer/Gat Plasma/50 cal/LMG and more).
For perks though, I don't take any raw damage boosters. Especially now that they work additively, so for some guns the overall effect is minimal. Mostly I focus on indirect damage effects and a whole lot of utility and weight reduction. In fact my current loadout (at level 230-something, with four special Legendary perks) is:- S 13 - Bandolier, Bear Arms, Full Charge, Incisor, Traveling Pharmacy
- P 12 - Green Thumb, Ground Pounder, Long Shot, Pannapictagraphist, Percepti-bobble, Tank Killer
- E 4 - Aquaboy, Cola Nut, Good Doggy
- C 6 - Field Surgeon {shared}, Travel Agent, Team Medic/EMT/Friendly Fire/Hard Bargain (swap as necessary)
- I 11 - Batteries Included, Gunsmith, Stabilized (swap into others such as: Armorer, Chemist, Fix it Good, Makeshift Warrior, Power Smith, Power Patcher, the Sciences, Weapon Artisan for crafting and repairing)
- A 13 - Adrenaline, Thru-Hiker, Covert Operative/Action Boy (swap during Daily Ops), Escape Artist, Light Footed (also have Ammosmith)
- L 9 - Starched Genes, Class Freak, One Gun Army/Super Duper/Good With Salt/Grim Reaper's Sprint/Luck of the Draw/Lucky Break (all swapped as needed)

Are you using Legendaries to boost specials? I knew you could boost the base value but didn't realise it also allowed more standard perk capacity, more that it would just boost the passives from them. Guess it makes sense though

Yep, four of my five slots are Legendary special in various levels (the other being Ammo Factory). I just don't see much use in many of the other legendaries; at least not for a character that is already set up with perks and a large supply of aid (so no need for Survival Shortcut or What Rads), has already completed the story (Master Infiltrator), and has a good source of Fusion Cores (Electric Absorption, Power Sprinter).

level 57 now. probably only half way through the main quests. is the endgame just doing the one daily ops mission and the other regular events over and over? doesn't sound too well thought out tbh.
Pretty much, Daily Op + repeatable daily faction quests (for reputation and/or Treasury Notes) + public events (for more Treasury Notes) tends to be the endgame; at least until the point where you've gotten everything that you can buy with gold bullion. Some variety generally comes in from the daily and weekly SCORE challenges. You may also decide to add nuke runs into that list as well if you're the kind of person who goes through a ton of ultracite ammo.

The Steel Dawn update accidentally released early on Xbox/Win 10, which left a lot of players unable to play because mismatched clients.
So instead of fixing the issue, Beth are instead releasing Steel Dawn for everyone TONIGHT - https://twitter.com/bethesdasupport/status/1331342816346255363
Servers have gone down, and will be down until about 3am.

My main gripes are the lack of repair kits so finding it hard to keep onto a good weapon and my carry weight is always on the verge of going over even though it doesn't seem like I'm carrying much.
Improved kits are almost a guarantee from SBQ, Project Paradise, and Encryptid. Heck, I ended up with so many I had to throw a hundred into my stash to help my carry weight problems...
Speaking of carry weight, everything weighs a ton to start until you can get some of the various weight reduction perks and/or armour. Stick to a much smaller amount of stuff you carry, or make sure you get the large backpack optionally with the high capacity mod!
