Heh, I cheat. I feel no compunction about this because, well, because I feel few compunctions about cheating in single-player games anyway, but in this case particularly because the system is so obviously broken. When I come across a new settlement, the first thing I do is hit god mode and put down so many heavy machine gun turrets the place has a defense rating of around 300, then a fusion generator and enough lights that you could use the joint as an emergency heliport. If the Super Mutants or ferals can get through that, they deserve to have it. :)
