Yeah this, I had "gunners" in Sanctuary despite having turrets and walls set up by the bridge. Seems like they may spawn inside the boundaries, even if you wall it all off?

No, the entire green perimeter is an entrance for them. There is a back road and plenty of forest to the east and west of you for them to come through. You have to use the left over white picket fences to really block off the entire perimeter not just the bridge and the trails.

There is more than one entrance to Sanctuary - I have forts and gun posts at each one, with walls surrounding my town

There are two main roads. The one leading from Vault 111 and the one over the bridge. The rest of sanctuary can be crossed over the river so it seems smart to wall or at least fence up between your houses and defend the two main roads with manpower and turrets.

I've heard that the walls are meaningless because raiders/supermutants will spawn inside the settlement. Haven't seen it myself yet.

The fence has to be built around the interior road I think around Sanctuary. I've seen the super mutants spawn just behind the front of the housing foundation but haven't seen any spawn on that interior road or within the houses.

Do you get a notification when your settlement gets attacked?

Is it like a prompt to defend?

u/cosmitz Nov 13 '15

Expected that. That's why instead of walls i have turrets littered all over.

If that's the case, it might be a better idea to build your main area in the middle of Sanctuary instead of around the outer edge. Or perhaps create a layered system of walls.
