I've settled every settlement in the main Fallout 4 game. Except the Boston Airport. I can't seem to figure this one out. I can't craft a beacon radio here and it doesn't even give me an option to plant crops (food doesn't even show as a resource in the workshop interface). Just for reference, this is post
Prydwyn explosion
in case that makes a difference. I'd really like to 100% the settlement aspect of this game and the 0% staring at me from the Boston Airport is really grating on my nerves. Is there anyway to settle this place?
Best Answer
No you cannot, at least not easily. You can build stuff in it but you are limited as to what. Some of things that cannot be built are water purifiers, crops, guard posts, stores, scavenging stations, or artillery. As you said, you cannot build a settlement recruitment beacon either.
You can as noted in the comments, send settlers here from other settlements, but it would be difficult to keep them happy without being able to build the necessities.
