What happens if you lose a settlement in Fallout 4?

If you lose a settlement in Fallout 4 by failing to defend it, you don't permanently lose the location, but you face consequences like damaged defenses (turrets, crops, generators), broken supply lines, and potential settler deaths, plus a drop in happiness, often triggering quests to retake it; you can usually get it back by completing a defense or recapture mission, but you risk losing workshop items left behind if not stored safely.

What happens if you don't defend settlement in Fallout 4?

If you don't defend a Fallout 4 settlement, the game uses a random chance to determine the outcome, leading to potential damage to crops, water pumps, power sources, broken defenses, lost junk/resources in the workbench, decreased happiness, and a chance for settlers to die or get injured (becoming "downed"), though defenses do help if you're present, but aren't factored into the ignored defense dice roll. You'll also get more "Defend" quests for that location.
