This is a long ass episode (Didn't feel long at all when recording, not sure where the time went 🤣), so I'm sorry. Unless you like longer ones, then in which case whoop 😁🙌. Let me know if you want 11.2 (wiring, decorations etc) or whether you want me to just press on with the missions! Mike
Don't delete the roads, I made a boo boo and Jamaica Plains is basically a park. Oops a daisy I'm not going back 2 days to fix it. Couldn't even do the player.placeatme thing
Don't know if anyone already mentioned it but you're using the rug glitch 'wrong'. What you want to do is: place a junk wall for example ON the edge of the small rug, then select ONLY the rug and move the rug with the wall piece on it wherever you want. Only the rug has collision, so you can move the wall piece into anything as far as the rug collision triggers. That makes building walls without gaps actually quite quick and easy without mods. The pillar glitch i only use to have thing sink into the floor/ground to prevent flaoting things. There're quite some tutorials on yt that explain these essential glitches for building probably better than i just did. Looking forward to more unmodded Episode!
Great as always. Regarding walls, if you watch videos by Oxhorn he has a nifty doodad that shows him all the enemy spawn points in each settlement. More often than not, enemys will actually spawn inside the walls. I have had this happen to me at Abernathy and I walled it up real good. The upshot is, walls look cool but from a defense perspective they are about worthless and take up resources i.e. fills up your build metre. Just sayin'. Keep it up, Mike.
Yeah I've been warned about the usefulness of walls before. For me they are as much about aesthetics as they are function, so if an enemy spawns inside I'll live with it 🤣
@@mike-thegamingdad yeah, between collecting flowers in Skyrim and making sure every building in each settlement in fallout 4 is just so, I never realised how boring I really am 😂 with starfields new survival features it’s only gonna get worse ;)
@nutbarchieftain I used to enjoy The Sims as a kid, Lego. I guess build mode in RPg games is just an extension of that and will appeal if you like that sort of thing. 😁🙌🏼 hands up for the nerds lol
Building is an artistic outlet that incorporates at least 1/2 my total playtime in games like fallout4 and starfield. An appreciation not everyone has. Some only care about lore and others combat, loot, npc feet, or some other fetish I don't presume to understand. Fallout4 brings a bit of all this into a single playthrough of the game, and the build can add much to the story of the character you're playing ... or you just use the OP gear from the Creation Club, run counter clockwise and nuke everything out of existence. Back in the olden days we used to build plastic models. You know, before electricity and s#!t. It's kind of interesting to note that when Superglue came out, purists looked down on that like a basement bikini party at a plastic surgeon's house. Sorry, the notion that mods are somehow bad seems to be pressuring your mind. Mods are like Superglue and fake tities, purists hate 'em like Michelangelo for desecrating the Sistine Chapel with paint. Use your tools to create what you want, how you want. It's difficult to watch you struggle when you know what you want to do but the game engine denies you the ability to close that wall cleavage. It's your game, play it your way 👍 Now go download some slooty attire for supermutants and let's get this playthrough some clicks of satisfaction 👏 😁
No mods🙌🙌 It was a pain, but you can be proud of it for sure! 11.2 sounds great to me. Just a friendly reminder to look for the 'Deep Dive" videos on the rug and pillar glitches Skooledzone did about 8 years ago. It would help 😇 I mean you used his hidden wires method in Sanctuary so why not?🤷♂️ I liked the building and I am going back to Red Rocket to redo mine. You've been an inspiration 👊😊
Thanks! Yeah I've been told I've been doing the rug glitch wrong so I need to try the correct way 👍🏻. Glad it was an inspiration 😁 I'll get working on 11.2 soon
@mike-thegamingdad tbh I didn't know until today you could use the rug as a static group select glitch. I learn new stuff every once in a while. A few weeks ago I saw a video that allows you to pillar glitch inside structures. If you put the campfire from misc decoration it acts like dirt allowing you to get really creative with interior layout.
"Good Enough" = Maintain what little sanity you have left while struggling with the limitations of the vanilla building supplies and mechanics. Whew...don't think I could do this. Great job though! I'm looking forward to more of both your settlement building and game playthrough videos.
I really enjoy the settlement building content. I think it’s a good idea to have separated it out into its own videos, so the people who aren’t into it can skip it, but for me I’d happily watch more of these. I wouldn’t mind if you switch to using some QoL mods to do it - it’s not ‘cheating’ to mod out QoL weaknesses in a game and watching the design process is more fun than watching you battle the manky collision mechanics 😊
@@mike-thegamingdad I’m playing on PS5 and I think you’re on PC(?) so I’m not sure. I am using QwaPA on PS5 though which I *think* is the console version of Place Anywhere so maybe. Hopefully a PC player can chime in with a definitive answer
So I'm wondering what happens if a group of raiders comes by this place. It's all set up with walls, defenses, and no people in it 🤔 Pretty sweet place to set up shop. Its even got a power armor station. I'd stay. They could raid Sanctuary and all those caravans that led them here in the first place. [Preston disliked that]
Haha I thought as I was building what attacks would look like here. Knowing my luck, they will just spawn inside the walls 🤣 but I'm fine with it, the walls are as much about aesthetics as they are functional As soon as this is ready though I'll be getting a beacon set up and some settlers over here 😁
Love the creativity of this build. It puts my standard bunkhouse with beds and a few crops to shame. Although I would miss my 1/2 hr. in and out settlement setup. Edit: The 'Snappable Junk Fences' mod doesn't use F4SE so it should work with the next-gen update.
This is interesting a bit more adventurous than my 3 storey high buildings, that contain all the settlers need. One mod that would have worked would be scrap everything works after update. Gets rid of a lot of rubbish off the floor and removes dirt and bushes.
The rug glitch you got almost. You ideally do not want to hold the select button to pick up the rug, try setting the item on the rug and just select the rug, if done correctly the item on the rug will not glow. Also the jumping when you pick up the rug cause it was not the last thing selected. Try click on the rug and then unselect it before you grab the rug with the Hold select option, then do the hold select on the rug and it should not jump, but only use the Hold select on combos that will not work by just placing the item on the rug and quick selecting it.
When things move to the side or up when group selecting, just click on the rug or pillar first and unselect. Then group select and it should not move like that.
Dunno if somebody else has already brought it up but there is a bug within the bermuda triangle of Abernathy farm-Red Rocket-Sanctuary where too many scripts can cause the game to crash when you are in the area. I can't imagine it being an issue from what I see in your video but I just wanted to make you aware of it. I doubt Bethesda ever fixed it, but I think either Workshop Framework mod or the Fallout 4 script extender would have a fix for it. You'd know you have the bug if the game crashed trying to fast travel to Sanctuary or RR but not anywhere else.
This one probably not for you then 🤣. Don't worry though if you are watching the let's play, any build episode won't disturb the story, I'll just pick up where the last one left off
I like listening to your voice on the videos. It reminds me of my ham radio friend in England. He's been in and out of the hospital. He's probably going to go soon. I hope not.
at 1:39:23 I love the building elements. I find it fun, and while I love the other parts of the game, the building is what pulls me back again and again. I mean, different builds on my character, that's also a thing. But i do love the settlement building. I watch a lot of settlement building videos too.
Not sure if anyones mentioned this to you before but to gain size back to a settlement you dont have to scrap the weapons you can just store them an keep redoing it with the same weapons to get it down further (the bigger the weapon the better or was it how many mods it had on it. I cant remember)
ok, so fun little tidbits, I have about 2000 hours in fallout between xbox, ps4/5, and PC (recomemend you check out no mods shop class). rug glitch>best for non snapable items, pillar glitch> good for snapable and raiting and lowering items, campfire glitch>to sink a pillar where it normally wont, wire glitch> to make either a wireless settlement or placing it decoratively exactly where you want... i love this to wirelessly hook up the higher grade turrets.
Yeah I like the wireless WiFi glitch, but didn't want to use it for this one. Maybe when I use 'cleaner' looking settlements or finally get the fusion generators unlocked
didnt know you knew lol. well maybe this one you might not. did you know perfectly preserved pies fit perfectly in an eat-o-tronic?(so do moldy food but its not pretty) i usually leave the one at red rocket just for that
I usually stuck with using the small prefab buildings AS the settlement walls in a lot of the small settlement areas. less resources needed to build. then stick a 8-Defense gun turret on its roof. Since i play survival, getting resources is rough, you gotta make the most with what you have. Love the large buildings, tho. I look forward to seeing what you do with the Contraptions Workshop DLC structures.
Mike, I get what you mean by the logic and the aesthetics of the walls. I eventually gave up after build limits and mobs spawning in the settlement issues. Problematic when you are at the other end of the Commonwealth and you get a message to help save A settlement. Instead, I now build around the perimeter of the build area and put high defensive towers armed with turrets with lines of sight to spawn zones and the centre of the settlement. Towers of scaffolding, 1x2, half-height and full height 3 and four levels can handle two turrets each level. Top levels are missile turrets and, being area of effect weapons, reliably obliviate intruders. Nice then to get a message in your absence that you successfully defended said settlement.
Yeah I'll get a feel of the spawn zones hopefully once I get attacked a few times. May well change the location of turrets if they are in completely the wrong place. So far I've dealt with attacks fairly well at Sanctuary other than a synth attack which was fairly large in number. That's awesome that it can defend itself without your help 😁🙌🏼
This has happened to me more times than I care to admit. I start a building project and all of a sudden hours have passed by and it’s 1:30 in the morning. 🤣🤣 Outstanding job using what vanilla gives us. I’m glad you stuck with it! Red Rocket seems like a small settlement until you open the build menu…quite a sizable area after all! Outstanding work and what seems a well defended settlement!
9:10 That right there, where you can put smaller tiles ones underneath the roofing - you use that and then use the larger ones to clip to it - if you see what I mean. You use the smaller tile as a “dummy” tile and then use the large tile (the one you actually wanted) to clip to the small tile. Then delete the small tiles. You probably could have deleted all those smaller tiles and used the large ones because you had something to clip to. And vice-versa. Experiment with them. Even though in this specific moment you couldn’t replace smaller tiles with larger ones because you can’t fit a square peg in a round hole (because the steps were in the way) you still could have used the large tiles and just replaced the steps a few feet from where they are and clipped them to the large tile. I’ve even just confused myself with that word salad. I was going to shut TF up for the building episode but I can’t help it, lol. I’m sorry. I guess I’m saying to just experiment with smaller tiles as a way to clip bigger tiles to it. Then delete the smaller ones when you’ve achieved what you need (and vice-versa). Now I’m shutting my gob.
Ah okay yeah so if I'd have put the small ones in the gap below the roof, I could have then used that smaller tile to clip the larger one next to it to cover the space I was trying to cover the first time round? I knew there would be a way to do it, I don't yet know all the tricks of duping the system yet. This went better than I thought it would, the first time I tried to record this it was a car crash of me just not being able to do anything I wanted 🤣
I use 'Cheat room' before I start building and load 1000 of every crafting material to the workbench then go beserk. The settlement building is the reason this game is still in my top 3 after all these years.
There was a moment around 50 minutes in where you rug glitch a wall in to an inside corner. There’s actually a wall type designed for that type of corner and it was right next to the one you placed on the other part of that corner. I think it was the rug glitched wall that stopped the outside floors from snapping properly. Neat build though. Enjoying watching this playthrough
Ah okay fair enough, I'm still working my way around whats available 🤣 glad you enjoyed it though 😁 I'm working on 11.2 as we speak, power went pretty smoothly. Need to furnish it out and add some stores and stuff and then we are done I think!
What's the cave, do you mean the one underneath red rocket? I don't think I've seen that playthrough no, but I have watched some of noresponse's channel 😁
15:00 A floor tile and a ceiling tile are different - even though you can use them interchangeably and use a floor as a roof and a roof as a floor. For example, if you place a floor tile and then clip a wall tile to it, the wall tile will clip to the bottom edge of the floor tile. If you use a roof tile, the wall tile will clip to the top edge of the roof tile. So sometimes if something doesn’t clip and you think it should, that is probably the reason.
Yeah I think I understood that, I was more trying to work out why the ceiling pieces (in this case the item which had the blue sheet over the tip of it), wouldn't clip to scaffolding or a prefab etc, they only seem to clip to walls, but none of the wooden walls I wanted. Ideally I just wanted an open structure that had posts up in each 4 corners to hold the ceiling in place, but without any of the wall structure. So it looked something like a gazebo etc.
Maybe you were able to add scaffolding to the prefab because the game didn't register the prefab as being there considering it was glitched?@@mike-thegamingdad
@hiddengrove222 ah yeah I see, could it be because I removed the middle prefab of that row of 3, and replaced it with an upper shack floor (the thicker ones that have 2 pieces), I think it's snapping to the edge of that.
Painful to watch you struggle so hard just to store the rug, pull it back out, store the rug... just move it off to the side until you're finished using it.
a streamer on TH-cam also goes by the name of trapped in fallout. He has these glitches he shows you that you don't need mods for, where you can build your XP up fast. One glitches you can duplicate a lot of your stuff in the junk. White gold copper steel fiber optics etc, I'm already at level 34 and I haven't even started any missions yet .that streamer has some good helpful tips. Another one goes by the name of ES
Yeah this is my first time playing it without mods. I started playing with mods soon as the game came out. But I definitely like the glitches specially duplicate yourself I broke down a gold watch scrapped it and it gave me one bar of gold. I kept duplicating it now I have 65,000 bars of gold. Great for trade for ammo and stuff
Longer videos are always appreciated...and that billboard guard tower is a pretty dope idea I may have to do something like this in my build...11.2 please
Thanks a lot! 11.2 is out now, you'll find it in my fallout 4 playlist (along with a walkthrough of the finished settlement), I've also released episode 12 yesterday as well 😁
@craigkniffin4948 awesome hope you enjoy! Not sure if you've started episode 1 yet, I mention this at the start of that video anyway but this is a first time playthrough (first time I've played any Fallout game) so be prepared for lots of dumb mistakes especially early on 🤣 it took me a while to work out what VATS was and how to use it lol
I did think you'd be able to, I've not been doing the rug glitch correctly apparently so I'm going to try the way I've been told and see if it makes the process easier
I can't believe that people tolerated Fallout 4's appalling interface. The amount of time wasted by people to just get something to work is unbelievable. Particularly considering how comparatively little development effort they would have had to put in to make it so much better, and Bethesda just didn't care.
Yeah I mention towards the end of the video that it felt like you should have just had an option to turn off collisions. In the same way you can console command player collisions so you can clip through walls. That may be a thing I don't know, but I meant more like a game mode. Free build or whatever. It's very slow otherwise but I stuck with it
@treycox33 yeah i know a few friends who swear by them. Im a conplete newbie when it comes to modding any game really. I did attempt to download the F4SE update over the weekend, but no matter what I did it kept telling me my script files didn't corellate to the version I had. All the numbers seemed to match and i follwed the steps, so not sure what was up with that, but without that, place everywhere and a few other mods I wanted to try wouldn't work so it ended up being a moot point really, I just decided to press on with this episode unmodded regardless 😁
Workshop rearrange Snappy builds (Delete stuff Delete more stuff Probably called someone else about scrap) Homemaker More crops Cabin Climb able ladders Place anywhere Commonwealth roads Mitten squad banner Fish tanks And there is a bunch of stuff on the Bethesda website, but I don't know my Bethesda password (thanks fallout 76)
There are mods for settlers to do different stuff, Guards patrol and go to sleep stuff like that. You might enjoy Sim settlement 2, it had a bit of a story line or something.
I do not have your patience to build these structures. I set the prefab buildings and throw beds in them. I’m just happy when all four corners are on the ground. Floating structures are painful. I do like watching what people build though
This is a long ass episode (Didn't feel long at all when recording, not sure where the time went 🤣), so I'm sorry. Unless you like longer ones, then in which case whoop 😁🙌. Let me know if you want 11.2 (wiring, decorations etc) or whether you want me to just press on with the missions! Mike

Mike, I get what you mean by the logic and the aesthetics of the walls. I eventually gave up after build limits and mobs spawning in the settlement issues. Problematic when you are at the other end of the Commonwealth and you get a message to help save A settlement. Instead, I now build around the perimeter of the build area and put high defensive towers armed with turrets with lines of sight to spawn zones and the centre of the settlement. Towers of scaffolding, 1x2, half-height and full height 3 and four levels can handle two turrets each level. Top levels are missile turrets and, being area of effect weapons, reliably obliviate intruders. Nice then to get a message in your absence that you successfully defended said settlement.
Yeah I'll get a feel of the spawn zones hopefully once I get attacked a few times. May well change the location of turrets if they are in completely the wrong place. So far I've dealt with attacks fairly well at Sanctuary other than a synth attack which was fairly large in number.
That's awesome that it can defend itself without your help 😁🙌🏼
This has happened to me more times than I care to admit. I start a building project and all of a sudden hours have passed by and it’s 1:30 in the morning. 🤣🤣 Outstanding job using what vanilla gives us. I’m glad you stuck with it! Red Rocket seems like a small settlement until you open the build menu…quite a sizable area after all! Outstanding work and what seems a well defended settlement!
Thanks a lot, still got to add the electrics and the decor yet 🙌🏼 it should look great when done (just hoping it doesn't crash my game lol)

That right there, where you can put smaller tiles ones underneath the roofing - you use that and then use the larger ones to clip to it - if you see what I mean.
You use the smaller tile as a “dummy” tile and then use the large tile (the one you actually wanted) to clip to the small tile. Then delete the small tiles. You probably could have deleted all those smaller tiles and used the large ones because you had something to clip to. And vice-versa.
Experiment with them. Even though in this specific moment you couldn’t replace smaller tiles with larger ones because you can’t fit a square peg in a round hole (because the steps were in the way) you still could have used the large tiles and just replaced the steps a few feet from where they are and clipped them to the large tile. I’ve even just confused myself with that word salad.
I was going to shut TF up for the building episode but I can’t help it, lol. I’m sorry.
I guess I’m saying to just experiment with smaller tiles as a way to clip bigger tiles to it. Then delete the smaller ones when you’ve achieved what you need (and vice-versa). Now I’m shutting my gob.
Ah okay yeah so if I'd have put the small ones in the gap below the roof, I could have then used that smaller tile to clip the larger one next to it to cover the space I was trying to cover the first time round?
I knew there would be a way to do it, I don't yet know all the tricks of duping the system yet. This went better than I thought it would, the first time I tried to record this it was a car crash of me just not being able to do anything I wanted 🤣
I use 'Cheat room' before I start building and load 1000 of every crafting material to the workbench then go beserk. The settlement building is the reason this game is still in my top 3 after all these years.
That sounds awesome!
There was a moment around 50 minutes in where you rug glitch a wall in to an inside corner. There’s actually a wall type designed for that type of corner and it was right next to the one you placed on the other part of that corner. I think it was the rug glitched wall that stopped the outside floors from snapping properly.
Neat build though. Enjoying watching this playthrough
Ah okay fair enough, I'm still working my way around whats available 🤣 glad you enjoyed it though 😁 I'm working on 11.2 as we speak, power went pretty smoothly. Need to furnish it out and add some stores and stuff and then we are done I think!
Wtf?
You should make a bed in the cave , noresponse did a cool play through. With it. Have you seen his Akira/Frost play through ?
What's the cave, do you mean the one underneath red rocket? I don't think I've seen that playthrough no, but I have watched some of noresponse's channel 😁

A floor tile and a ceiling tile are different - even though you can use them interchangeably and use a floor as a roof and a roof as a floor.
For example, if you place a floor tile and then clip a wall tile to it, the wall tile will clip to the bottom edge of the floor tile. If you use a roof tile, the wall tile will clip to the top edge of the roof tile. So sometimes if something doesn’t clip and you think it should, that is probably the reason.
Yeah I think I understood that, I was more trying to work out why the ceiling pieces (in this case the item which had the blue sheet over the tip of it), wouldn't clip to scaffolding or a prefab etc, they only seem to clip to walls, but none of the wooden walls I wanted. Ideally I just wanted an open structure that had posts up in each 4 corners to hold the ceiling in place, but without any of the wall structure. So it looked something like a gazebo etc.
Someone explain the scaffolding idea. Why use it at all. I thought scaffolding was for on the outside of structures along the wall?
It's designed for non builders to build with. It's comparatively easy to transport, and after 200 years it's probably about the sturdiest thing left.
A table might be higher high enough to get them over
I mean to each their own, but in my opinion mods are one of the best things about gaming on a PC and Bethesda games.
Yeah I can appreciate that and anyone that enjoys them 😁 just never been a thing I've been overly drawn to
ESO
I can't for the life of me figure out how to add scaffolding to the prefabs like you did all im seeing is red
Which bit is it you are struggling with? Can you timestamp it? I'll have a look how I did it
7:04 @@mike-thegamingdad
Maybe you were able to add scaffolding to the prefab because the game didn't register the prefab as being there considering it was glitched?@@mike-thegamingdad
@hiddengrove222 ah yeah I see, could it be because I removed the middle prefab of that row of 3, and replaced it with an upper shack floor (the thicker ones that have 2 pieces), I think it's snapping to the edge of that.
They are a pain those scaffolds though, I tried so many times to get them to clip to stuff and they just wouldn't 🤣
Painful to watch you struggle so hard just to store the rug, pull it back out, store the rug... just move it off to the side until you're finished using it.
a streamer on TH-cam also goes by the name of trapped in fallout. He has these glitches he shows you that you don't need mods for, where you can build your XP up fast. One glitches you can duplicate a lot of your stuff in the junk. White gold copper steel fiber optics etc, I'm already at level 34 and I haven't even started any missions yet .that streamer has some good helpful tips. Another one goes by the name of ES
ESO
Ah okay cool thank you 😁 yeah I've watched ESO before but mainly his Skyrim content, I've not watched any FO4 yet
Yeah this is my first time playing it without mods. I started playing with mods soon as the game came out. But I definitely like the glitches specially duplicate yourself I broke down a gold watch scrapped it and it gave me one bar of gold. I kept duplicating it now I have 65,000 bars of gold. Great for trade for ammo and stuff
👍👍👍
Longer videos are always appreciated...and that billboard guard tower is a pretty dope idea I may have to do something like this in my build...11.2 please
Thanks a lot! 11.2 is out now, you'll find it in my fallout 4 playlist (along with a walkthrough of the finished settlement), I've also released episode 12 yesterday as well 😁
@@mike-thegamingdad just found the series I am going to start from the beginning
@craigkniffin4948 awesome hope you enjoy! Not sure if you've started episode 1 yet, I mention this at the start of that video anyway but this is a first time playthrough (first time I've played any Fallout game) so be prepared for lots of dumb mistakes especially early on 🤣 it took me a while to work out what VATS was and how to use it lol
loveleh!
Strong accent 😁🤣
You can also rug glitch the turrets
I did think you'd be able to, I've not been doing the rug glitch correctly apparently so I'm going to try the way I've been told and see if it makes the process easier
I can't believe that people tolerated Fallout 4's appalling interface. The amount of time wasted by people to just get something to work is unbelievable. Particularly considering how comparatively little development effort they would have had to put in to make it so much better, and Bethesda just didn't care.
Yeah I mention towards the end of the video that it felt like you should have just had an option to turn off collisions. In the same way you can console command player collisions so you can clip through walls. That may be a thing I don't know, but I meant more like a game mode. Free build or whatever. It's very slow otherwise but I stuck with it
@@mike-thegamingdadthat’s what mods are for
I personally use about 220 on one of my play throughs.
@treycox33 yeah i know a few friends who swear by them. Im a conplete newbie when it comes to modding any game really. I did attempt to download the F4SE update over the weekend, but no matter what I did it kept telling me my script files didn't corellate to the version I had. All the numbers seemed to match and i follwed the steps, so not sure what was up with that, but without that, place everywhere and a few other mods I wanted to try wouldn't work so it ended up being a moot point really, I just decided to press on with this episode unmodded regardless 😁

If you really want to get crazy workshop anywhere.
There are mods for settlers to do different stuff,
Guards patrol and go to sleep stuff like that.
You might enjoy Sim settlement 2, it had a bit of a story line or something.
Oh I just remembered settlement size mod, larger settlement build area.
I do not have your patience to build these structures. I set the prefab buildings and throw beds in them. I’m just happy when all four corners are on the ground. Floating structures are painful. I do like watching what people build though
Floor with the concrete, would usually fix that.
The uneven terrain sucks.
Really can't make a split level house in some places to fix it.
Yeah I'm a glutton for punishment 🤣
Scrapping weapons reduces the settlement build size?
It does yeah 😁👍🏻
