I unlocked Curie as a companion. That brings my companions up to 5: Preston, Dogmeat, Codsworth, Ada, and Curie.

Tell me - how do you guys typically spread out your companions as you recruit them and leave them in your settlements?

In the pre-mod days I usually just had them all live in Sanctuary. You can get some unique dialogue between companions if you ask a new one to follow you while one's already following you, which auto-dismisses your current companion (my favorite being Cait asking Piper if she wants to be in a threesome with the PC). You don't have to have them all living together to get this dialogue, it's just a convenience thing.

In the post-mod game where my settlements are always teetering on being overloaded, I tend to split them up, since settlers are the biggest drain on settlement RAM. Though I'm planning to do a nice rebuilt Sanctuary this time with Snappy Housekit and a clean slate for the buildspace, so I'll probably have Piper, Preston, and Codsworth living there, with Cait and Dogmeat at the Red Rocket (incidentally, Codsworth doesn't work very well as a settler at other settlements, so it's best to just keep him out of the system and have him default to Sanctuary). Curie always lives on my private Spectacle Island research complex.

As far as MacReady goes, it's always really bothered me from an RP standpoint that he doesn't go back to his son once his personal quest is over. So from now on, as soon as I've got his perk, I'm gonna just default him back to the Third Rail and pretend that he traveled back to the Capital Wasteland.

Strong can go fuck himself. Giant pain in the ass, always bitching about me moving PA suits.
