What happens if you don't help a 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.
