In the 90’s, my father watched Bob Vila to learn how to do projects he’d never undertake. In the 2020’s, I’m watching TH-cam videos on how to do post apocalyptic community building in video games I’ll never undertake. Kind of beautiful really. Lovely video.
You can clearly see he has 726 steel at 1:36 you can get more than that just from sanctuary alone from scraping houses, There's also Supply Lines & Scraper perk. 726 steel hardly needs a million. Also 2 points in barter perk makes everything cheaper like shipments from merchants.
Water is a reasonable saleable product in the Commonwealth BUT, it has some downsides. It sells for very little, it's heavy to cart around, the initial outlay on purifiers and power sources is expensive in caps and material and if you are playing survival, you're going to be drinking a fair bit of that water to survive. Well, until you are putting in multiple industrial units at suitable settlements or your rad resistant perk is earned. So what's better? Drug dealing and manufacturing. Put loads of Brahmin troughs out at all your settlements. Buy Brahmin off of Kelly. Brahmin troughs make fertiliser, fertiliser plus plastic makes jet. You can make around 4-5000 caps worth of Jet every three days. You can walk around with 8000 caps worth of jet in your pocket and not really damage your weight capacity. And manufacturing Jet earns you experience. Making water does not, bar what you get building the purifiers and generators.
@@ellisberry8747 It's a great game, but it's a bad fallout game. "Masterpiece" suits fallout NV much better. It's on the older side, but the design and narrative are top-notch. If you want to understand why without having to play the game there's a shit load of videos talking about it.
@@kaws8778 Imo FNV is actually easier to play without mods than FO4. For me to even play FO4 I feel like I need 10 mods at minimum and I've never played new vegas with more than 10 mods. The 4gb patch and unofficial patch are pretty necessary, but beyond that there isn't much.
Mathew Godfrey there are a TON of places you can use as settlements. there are a couple places that are just raider bases in the middle of nowhere, and you can use it as a small settlement too. it's extremely small, but you can turn it into a small military/security outpost easily. I think it's east (right) of sanctuary, over towards the radio station and a bit south. I'll jump on tonight and try to find some better coordinates of it for you. I made it a small resupply outpost. doesn't really serve a purpose other than making it so I don't have to go all the way back to sanctuary for stuff.
Your Fallout 4 Build series is the best of all I've seen. Concise and to the point technique. Smooth camera. No jerky chicken head shots. No distracting changes during demo. No babbling about how cool it is, or intense storyline saga. Just By far, superior to any Fo4 build tutorials out there!
Taffington Boathouse in my opinion is not really an ideal place to build massive purifiers mainly because the settlement is too small. Sanctuary Hill is a good place to mass purifiers easily. Also you can max out the water production to 999. That will give you around 757-777 waters give or take. With that amount of water you can easily buy out couple of merchants easily.
sanctuary hills is good, this settlement isn't for mass purification, spectacle island or egret tours marina would be fit for mass water production, this is just an example of building extra income from your settlements..
nick100mil No, just pointing out that, thanks to Steve Irwin, the word "crikey" is something you half expect to hear from an Australian guy. I think it should be more common among Australian speakers.
Thank you for the suggestions and help. I was able to put concrete wallls, and make a whole walk walkway inside using barn stuff. I also used smaller grates flooring from the barn section to add in more purifiers.
Thank you so much for summing it up so I don't have to see all the way through the boring building crap... Obviously we already know how that works lol :P
@@TheVergile yeah...like to who the hell it is sold? stores so far in the game where i am are pretty shit store with 250c of found i have to buy ammo so they can have some cap
Thanks for taking the time to do these. I never really copy your stuff, however your a great source of inspiration and I always learn a thing or two. Keep it up!
+Shawn Johnson That's awesome man, all of these builds are for general ideas and inspiration, that's also the reason why i try to keep them as basic as i can and barely decorated, its should help people visualize their own ideas or make it easier to add their own tweaks, or just use the base design, glad to see people using them and using them for inspiration :)
the level 2 water purifier (the small one) can also produce water, but in smaller amount. sometime if a big one cannot fit in certain water area, a small one will usually do the trick. In this video he left lots of gap between the big purifiers. Those gaps can be fill with smaller water purifiers to help produce water. I also find out you can build one smaller water purifier inside the boat house. and couple more right beside it. But this settlement is small! There are so much water purifier you can placed.
I just decided to settle in this boathouse 3 days ago after starting a new character (weapon x melee/sneak/sniper special forces build) and only put 3turrets up and fixed the roof. This is a brilliant idea and will try! Thanks for idea!
I keep coming back to this video and rebuilding it in all my new playthrus whenever I come back to fo4, but I keep using new pieces and evolving it in my own way :)
just some sugestions for the ones that does not want to waste space on energy generators, use carpets to stack them in each other, also you can do the same with water purifiers and move them to the ground, so you can use other places like sanctuary , or any other that has a lil water on it
great idea i’ve done the water “store” build on a few but never the taffington settlement. i made a multi level power and water warehouse at sanctuary but i’d like to add some more to make it profitable. cheers thanks for the idea.
I have 12 settlers at my Boathouse + the guy that's there when you find the place. It's surrounded by turrets around the perimeter. I've never set any walls up but there's 125 defense. I have 4 large purifiers, 3 in the water next to the house & 1 inside the "boat garage". My boathouse has never once been attacked & I'm level 128. I've given all my settlers snubnose .44's which I've made via a manufacturing plant & also given them 50 ammo each, also made via manufacturing plant (manufacturing I've set up at Abernathy coz it's so huge!) All settlers also have ballistic weave outfits. So all in all, as long as the defense is good enough & the settlers are capable of defending themselves, the chances of being attacked are extremely low. If you are attcked, get there asap & immediately take the foods, waters and caps out of the workshop so they don't get stolen.
It looks nice. From a gameplay perspective though I'd be worried about having turrets by the 'front door'. The enemies spawn right in the roadway. More spawn north of the place on the dirt ridge overlooking the waterside shed; usually bringing up the Bloodbugs from the canal when they do. So for a minor tweak I'd probably shift the front fence back one pre-fab wall. Then I'd put the turrets on top of the merchant stalls, allowing them view and space to shoot whatever was in the road. Turrets on top of the waterside shed help too, explosive type helps put down the Bloodbugs.
Your abilities with the settlements is astounding. Yes, yes, infinite caps (though I find it impossible NOT to have infinite just by vendoring all the armor/weapons I get from walking around) but it's the way you actually get things to snap into place and the vision to see "this should go here" that impresses me with the videos. I also had no idea the water purifiers did anything other than make the settlers happy to have water lol
+Dinishte Thank you, yeah accumulative loot on the road will generally return some good coin, but when it comes to building settlements, materials can exhaust your caps quite easily lol, i make over $40,000 from a single run through my settlements using this method, and because i make more than i can sell, there also useful as another form of currency, and you would be surprised how many people didn't know that purifiers actually purify water for you haha, thanks for the feedback dude, cheers!
Great design. I personally just use the Castle and use the back. Putting 10 Industrial back there gets you around crazy money back. I will say if you're trying to make tons of money doing this don't use the General Store. Gun Store gives out the most caps and the Clinic gives out the second highest. Both are about the same.
the island nets me 1200 purified waters a 'day', this place adds 370 on the lower mid end end of my empire, however in the grand scheme of my character's Commonwealth Water Company, I generate somewhere between 4500-6000 purified water. Water has become my new currency. Every cog in the wheel. Every purifier counts.
Love the design. I Only have with the game originally came with so it’s nice to see someone with a design that has all the pieces that I can put together as well
I've made Taffington Boathouse look a little like this. The only differences are that the walls are made out of concrete and the generators in the electrical shed were replaced with the new Fusion Generator added in Wasteland Workshop. Still, it looks mostly the same. Good job :)
luis llanes It'll de-spawn eventually. Just do what you can an when you can't build anything else because of the Brahmin, go do some quests or something for an in-game week. It should be gone by then.
I think we need to appreciate the spatial understanding this guy has to snap on the fence with the flooring that was nearly pixel perfect with the dock of the house.
I usually role-play this game - set up guard towers, farms, water (just enough for the settlement) and let them live in peace. I console caps if I need them but rarely do. This is a cool concept to add in, not for the income but I feel it would be a cool addition to it. I might use a Place Everywhere mod to have power stations throughout the Commonwealth feeding settlements, and purification plants too. Cool video!
How is it not accurate? He build a water purifying business. Exactly what the title claims. Create product which has demand, sells it to the one's in need, makes money out of it, therefore; business.
Good to see a fellow Aussie is making a popular/helpful video And I'm going try my best to copy this but I'm doing it with nuca world so the guards will be raiders and the merchants and farmers will be settlers and I'm also going to try to use concrete walls and the barn for the shedding Great vid definitely a like and subscribe
PS4 Here and I LOVE your designs brother they are really good. I've been working on the Drive In Theater myself. made a huge settlement there but only able to put in Two water purifiers there. but I have 6 different high end shops so I make pretty good caps between everything. but thinking about mimicking this design slightly. thanks for the design ideas!
thanks man, yeah dont be afraid to put extra purifiers in, i have even more ground purifiers and an extra one in the shed, probably generating around 400 water at this settlement alone..
where do you put enough food there for a huge settlement????? also i have 3-4 purifiers in that hole didnt know about the moving it to land glitch until today also kinda feel like that is too much of a cheat FOR ME but i might try it. just wish i could get serious water at all my settlements.
Thank you, I loved this build and pretty much copied it but just with a few minor changes. It really wouldn't let me put that damn generator shed in that spot so I built a warehouse there instead and it ended up looking pretty good anyway.
I use Kingsport lighthouse and run it with robots to farm vegetables and also the new water pump that you can use on dirt plus if you place heaps of storage and get a scrapper station or two the storages occasionally refill with more junk and therefore no people and no food consumption plus an unlimited source of adhesives and money to pay for shipments and parts to build even more
This music really kicks the shit out of the atmosphere, just play some fallout friendly songs in the background, very quietly. Wouk be a lot fucking better dude. Otherwise pretty good video man
I love settlement builds in places like Taffington Boathouse or Hangman's Alley because the idea of turning a house or alleyway into an impenetrable fortress just scratches an itch in my brain
i don't know why he wouldn't try to keep his voice energetic. Most younger youtuber always say they are 'sick' and try to sound like they don't care and cool. ffs
One of my favorite setlements early game, i never had the idea to make mass water production here but it looks very good, it's small but easyly buildable and defendable without cheat. I will do that on my new survival game in F4VR, thanks ;D
The slick business plan here is almost a throwaway on what is really a smart effortless build tutorial, which shows off some really neat results without all the usual 15 story towers supported only by a single staircase. still a good plan as well ofc
I used suspended boxcars and floorings on the water to make something like a floating city. Snapped balconies and walls to boxcars to make them lived in and railings so nobody would fall. Unfortunately it ate all of my build size and I am stuck with great idea with no means of implementing it...
If you get some cheap weapons and drop them, then go into build mode and store them in the workshop, it increases the build size. Don't go overboard because it could make your game take ages to load if you do it too much in every settlement, but I mostly use that method for the Slog and Starlight Drive in.
If you're playing on PC, look for DDProductions Infinite Settlement Budget mod. Don't know if it ever made it's way to Bethesda's mod portal, but it's on the Nexus. That mod is essential for anyone who is looking to do any sort of decent settlement building. I wouldn't be surprised if the limits that Bethesda set for the Settlement Budget were part of the Lowest Common Denominator mentality that Developers have to have when designing a game for console.
The solution then is f4se and the mod that re-enables achievements. It's not survival mode that disables achievements, it affected any modded game regardless of the difficulty setting as of the 1.5 patch that added the Survival mode. It is only because Microsoft (and Sony) disapprove of open modding and being able to get achievements that they were even disabled across all platforms if using mods in the first place. There's just too many convenience and Quality of Life mods out there for me to ever want to go without just to get achievements.
After watching this I went back and remodeled my Taffington boat house and was able to get 6 Industrial purifiers and 4 large purifiers my taffington now has 20 settlers, 80 Defense, 21 beds, 30 food, about 300 water, and 50 Power. Thanks for the inspiration
there unlocked by finding a particular picket fence mag, i think its the one in the waterplant, im not 100% sure, i would suggest checking out a guide ☺
@@ET-dn2ik I've turned to the sale of Jet to make a quicker buck for materials. Also all of the excess weapons I collect. The modded weapons will sell for a pretty penny.
ascetically your builds leave a lot to be desired but the over all direction is great and this video helped a lot in how I want to design my own boathouse settlement so good video in the end
Castle Road Official he has a lot of the shit already built so it's just coming out of his inventory. But at 5:50 you can clearly see his wood and steel going down.
It bugs the hell out of me when I see guys on youtube just "snap" things in place that absolutely will not work for me. I tried following your build, but after trying for an hour to get walls to snap and failing, when it took you like two seconds... So frustrating! I literally cannot replicate what you've done, because it simply doesn't work on my game. ???
Great vid, I'm definitely going to try this! Does the money generated by your stores automatically go into your inventory or do you have to do something to access it first?
Heatpod Music it goes into the workbench of the settlement the stall is placed at, and isn't accessible from any other. So you leave the settlers to it while you kill raiders and explore, come back and check your workbench and have caps waiting
Thank you, this simplified some concerns I had about developing this settlement. I am going to do similar but will build the farming space above water purifiers on a giant platform and use the other farming space for brahmin.
just make a bunch of water purifiers in diff settlements and fast travel around collecting it. ive got just under 70k caps and i almost never spend it at vendors since i use purified water as currency. ive also got prob 10k water total stashed around. kinda makes the game boring when you can buy everything from a vendor and still walk away with the vendors caps.
I did a similar thing at the nordhagen beach settlement. It has about 600 water and 100 food. One good thing about purified water farms is you can then use that and crops to make adhesive in the cooking stations
I feel like an idiot looking at these kind of videos u guys are so creative I just placed some horrible pre constructed houses around and shit like that but u made that horrible house look epic
Yeah i noticed that theres a couple of glitches that can do that but ive played legitamitly since the game came out and i still have to buy gears every time i want to upgrade a gun

you must need a small loan of a million steel for this one
You can clearly see he has 726 steel at 1:36 you can get more than that just from sanctuary alone from scraping houses, There's also Supply Lines & Scraper perk. 726 steel hardly needs a million. Also 2 points in barter perk makes everything cheaper like shipments from merchants.

Water is a reasonable saleable product in the Commonwealth BUT, it has some downsides. It sells for very little, it's heavy to cart around, the initial outlay on purifiers and power sources is expensive in caps and material and if you are playing survival, you're going to be drinking a fair bit of that water to survive. Well, until you are putting in multiple industrial units at suitable settlements or your rad resistant perk is earned.
So what's better? Drug dealing and manufacturing. Put loads of Brahmin troughs out at all your settlements. Buy Brahmin off of Kelly. Brahmin troughs make fertiliser, fertiliser plus plastic makes jet. You can make around 4-5000 caps worth of Jet every three days. You can walk around with 8000 caps worth of jet in your pocket and not really damage your weight capacity. And manufacturing Jet earns you experience. Making water does not, bar what you get building the purifiers and generators.

It'll de-spawn eventually. Just do what you can an when you can't build anything else because of the Brahmin, go do some quests or something for an in-game week. It should be gone by then.
Just get a mod that removes dead bodies
I was trying to push it and it killed me
That Base Rocks, man, opened up my Imagination so much more by this vid, thanks
I think we need to appreciate the spatial understanding this guy has to snap on the fence with the flooring that was nearly pixel perfect with the dock of the house.
i know this video is 5 years old but i've only just come across it and it gave me some fun ideas so, nice work and thanks!
You make building so easy - wish I could build that fast & that great 💕
I like how he says, fresh water around. I Wouldn't want to drink that water. Good video dude. Gave me some inspiration 👏🏻👏🏻
I am Preston Garvey, and I approve of this message
I usually role-play this game - set up guard towers, farms, water (just enough for the settlement) and let them live in peace. I console caps if I need them but rarely do. This is a cool concept to add in, not for the income but I feel it would be a cool addition to it.
I might use a Place Everywhere mod to have power stations throughout the Commonwealth feeding settlements, and purification plants too. Cool video!
Build a business? Or watch some guy remodel a settlement? Building tips are alright, but not what the title suggests.
panedrop I was going to right this to. Way too much aesthetics talk for a video on cap production.
That's cool man, I just thought it wasn't an accurate title for an otherwise good video.

How is it not accurate? He build a water purifying business. Exactly what the title claims. Create product which has demand, sells it to the one's in need, makes money out of it, therefore; business.
Good to see a fellow Aussie is making a popular/helpful video
And I'm going try my best to copy this but I'm doing it with nuca world so the guards will be raiders and the merchants and farmers will be settlers and I'm also going to try to use concrete walls and the barn for the shedding
Great vid definitely a like and subscribe
PS4 Here and I LOVE your designs brother they are really good. I've been working on the Drive In Theater myself. made a huge settlement there but only able to put in Two water purifiers there. but I have 6 different high end shops so I make pretty good caps between everything. but thinking about mimicking this design slightly. thanks for the design ideas!
thanks man, yeah dont be afraid to put extra purifiers in, i have even more ground purifiers and an extra one in the shed, probably generating around 400 water at this settlement alone..
+TLK GAMING awesome I'll try it later, thank you
PS4 aww no mods? :(
where do you put enough food there for a huge settlement????? also i have 3-4 purifiers in that hole didnt know about the moving it to land glitch until today also kinda feel like that is too much of a cheat FOR ME but i might try it. just wish i could get serious water at all my settlements.
+John Smith you can , just run the ground water purifiers
You're like the Bob Ross of Fallout 4 Construction.
Great Video. Thanks!
Thank you, I loved this build and pretty much copied it but just with a few minor changes. It really wouldn't let me put that damn generator shed in that spot so I built a warehouse there instead and it ended up looking pretty good anyway.
thats awesome dude, dw i had a lot of trouble getting that shed in there lol
I salute you for your amazing building skills and dedication to this base.
I use Kingsport lighthouse and run it with robots to farm vegetables and also the new water pump that you can use on dirt plus if you place heaps of storage and get a scrapper station or two the storages occasionally refill with more junk and therefore no people and no food consumption plus an unlimited source of adhesives and money to pay for shipments and parts to build even more
Loved the video. That build mechanic can be difficult and you made it look so smooth. 👍
This music really kicks the shit out of the atmosphere, just play some fallout friendly songs in the background, very quietly. Wouk be a lot fucking better dude. Otherwise pretty good video man
I love settlement builds in places like Taffington Boathouse or Hangman's Alley because the idea of turning a house or alleyway into an impenetrable fortress just scratches an itch in my brain
nobody:
meth users: builds fortified water purifier base in fallout 4
This looks sick bro and a fun way to base a new game around, cheers
shit music would have been fine with just his voice
i don't know why he wouldn't try to keep his voice energetic. Most younger youtuber always say they are 'sick' and try to sound like they don't care and cool.
ffs
TRIGUND well its better than the anoying bubbly electronic music
you are REALLY good at this, obviously takes a ton of practice. very entertaining video
One of my favorite setlements early game, i never had the idea to make mass water production here but it looks very good, it's small but easyly buildable and defendable without cheat. I will do that on my new survival game in F4VR, thanks ;D
The slick business plan here is almost a throwaway on what is really a smart effortless build tutorial, which shows off some really neat results without all the usual 15 story towers supported only by a single staircase. still a good plan as well ofc
This is pretty cool. Definitely gonna build this, but use a fusion generator lol. I never thought of selling water like this. Cool video!!
Are you using build everywhere? Because it never worked for me
I know this comment is a bit late but you just need to redownload the mod everytime you launch the game, works for me everytime
@@restitvt0r1 Better late than never. I tried that tactic, and it works now. Thank you.
GOOD JOB!! I love how people doing crazy buildings with no cheat and no MODS
He had ulimited resources
+Eto Yoshimura he had them stored you scrub
+Eto Yoshimura all so he is on ps4 so how could he cheat
I used suspended boxcars and floorings on the water to make something like a floating city. Snapped balconies and walls to boxcars to make them lived in and railings so nobody would fall. Unfortunately it ate all of my build size and I am stuck with great idea with no means of implementing it...
If you get some cheap weapons and drop them, then go into build mode and store them in the workshop, it increases the build size. Don't go overboard because it could make your game take ages to load if you do it too much in every settlement, but I mostly use that method for the Slog and Starlight Drive in.
Charizarzar Yeah, I know of that, but this is "no exploit survival playthrough". I will only use what game allows me to~
If you're playing on PC, look for DDProductions Infinite Settlement Budget mod. Don't know if it ever made it's way to Bethesda's mod portal, but it's on the Nexus. That mod is essential for anyone who is looking to do any sort of decent settlement building. I wouldn't be surprised if the limits that Bethesda set for the Settlement Budget were part of the Lowest Common Denominator mentality that Developers have to have when designing a game for console.
SB Gaming
Yeah, can't use mods on Survival. Turns off achievements. I want to get those first~
The solution then is f4se and the mod that re-enables achievements.
It's not survival mode that disables achievements, it affected any modded game regardless of the difficulty setting as of the 1.5 patch that added the Survival mode.
It is only because Microsoft (and Sony) disapprove of open modding and being able to get achievements that they were even disabled across all platforms if using mods in the first place.
There's just too many convenience and Quality of Life mods out there for me to ever want to go without just to get achievements.
After watching this I went back and remodeled my Taffington boat house and was able to get 6 Industrial purifiers and 4 large purifiers my taffington now has 20 settlers, 80 Defense, 21 beds, 30 food, about 300 water, and 50 Power. Thanks for the inspiration
no problem man, sounds like you got yourself a sweet build there :)
yep its my main base of operations
This is awesome!!!!! SO Impressed!!
thank you 😊
TLK GAMING How do you get the pot plants as decorations.. is it a mod?
there unlocked by finding a particular picket fence mag, i think its the one in the waterplant, im not 100% sure, i would suggest checking out a guide ☺

"Infinite Caps No Cheating"

Is that an Australia accent I hear TLK by the way your the best youtuber ever
hey thanks fam! yeah aussie accent haha
Omg I can't believe you actually replied your so cool I'm Aussie to
no problem man, anytime 🖒
Tristan game-o-bot not a real Aussie unless you’re wresting crocs during relaxation time.
Very well done video. Great tutorial and editing :)
This is fucking smart.
This video may be six years old, but it is hella awesome!
Do you think fallout should add multiplayer? You could show off bases, build massive forts, and fight to the death!!
Sky Smashers yes!
Sky Smashers I would prefer co-op, people wanted multiplayer for skyrim and they made the abomination of elder scrolls online
welp, you might be getting just that with Fallout 76. We'll find out in a few days at E3
Coop max four people is as far as im willing to go.

Despite it’s issues, FO4 might just be my favourite game I’ve ever played. Still playing today in 2020.
Same I started playing like last month and I have so much fun
@@ET-dn2ik It's mostly about the settlement building for me. Sometimes I just get the urge to build something in FO4.
@@Inflames420 same I sell purified water and buy lots of building material.
@@ET-dn2ik I've turned to the sale of Jet to make a quicker buck for materials. Also all of the excess weapons I collect. The modded weapons will sell for a pretty penny.
People like you bother me.
You spend a large amount of time on aesthetics for some stuff, then cheap out for other stuff.
I'm twitchin here. lol
Outstanding video! There are a ton of ideas that I can't wait to try.
You keep saying "resourceful" that word doesn't mean what you think it means. You are looking for "resource intensive"
ascetically your builds leave a lot to be desired but the over all direction is great and this video helped a lot in how I want to design my own boathouse settlement so good video in the end
how do you have so much material to waste on those teeny tiny cracks that mean nothing ????? you must also be an perfectionist
John Smith he's on god mode or somthing. He's not using any resources anyways
Castle Road Official he has a lot of the shit already built so it's just coming out of his inventory. But at 5:50 you can clearly see his wood and steel going down.
o this cracks annoy me too, i dont have a lot of resources yet tho. Need to find stuff for the purifiers and generators now
I've always wanted to play fall out 4 I heard u can build a base but I didn't know u can do it like this so epic
It bugs the hell out of me when I see guys on youtube just "snap" things in place that absolutely will not work for me. I tried following your build, but after trying for an hour to get walls to snap and failing, when it took you like two seconds... So frustrating! I literally cannot replicate what you've done, because it simply doesn't work on my game. ???
Wow and I’m here getting exited over starting a tiny water purifier that actually works.
Great vid, I'm definitely going to try this! Does the money generated by your stores automatically go into your inventory or do you have to do something to access it first?
Heatpod Music it goes into the workbench of the settlement the stall is placed at, and isn't accessible from any other. So you leave the settlers to it while you kill raiders and explore, come back and check your workbench and have caps waiting
Brilliant, thanks for that 😊
MuwukiFTW Kill raiders? Only raiders? RASICT
You have to sell things to the settlers to claim the caps.
Heatpod Music it goes into ur werkshop ovr tim
Excellent video. Very informative and efficiently done. Thanx much! I learned a lot.
You have GOT to remove the background music
Thank you, this simplified some concerns I had about developing this settlement. I am going to do similar but will build the farming space above water purifiers on a giant platform and use the other farming space for brahmin.
How? Just, how?
I’m gonna do that now lol, I had a couple designs but that was pretty damn good
how did you not lose resources while building?
Draxez he has built some already and has them stored
he also has god mode on
I don't play Fallout 4 but I'm really into building stuff like this, so satisfying !!
You'll get purified water every 72 minutes of gameplay. Sleeping or waiting in a chair don't count. A more on-demand cash solution is melon farming.
Bob Bobson Mutfruits are better.
Melons are easier to grow.
melon farming kinda sucks though, you can have more corn or tatos in the same amount of surface area
The guy from facade disagrees
just make a bunch of water purifiers in diff settlements and fast travel around collecting it. ive got just under 70k caps and i almost never spend it at vendors since i use purified water as currency. ive also got prob 10k water total stashed around. kinda makes the game boring when you can buy everything from a vendor and still walk away with the vendors caps.
I did a similar thing at the nordhagen beach settlement. It has about 600 water and 100 food. One good thing about purified water farms is you can then use that and crops to make adhesive in the cooking stations
You make it look too easy. lol
Good onya mate, it's great to finally find a gaming video not presented by some bed-wetting, pimple faced, drama queen.
lmao thanks mate, cheers!
:)
+Vale Sauce lol Sorry but being only two out of the three doesn't count.
MadOnPiez I think they was a joke there, as they were being a drama queen making them all 3
Is anyone else cringing and pissed off by this guy typing "Good onya mate"?
I feel like an idiot looking at these kind of videos u guys are so creative I just placed some horrible pre constructed houses around and shit like that but u made that horrible house look epic
“Infinite caps no cheats”
*Uses infinite resources*
Haha I noticed that thought it might be he *stored* the items for the vid? Maybe? Nah
Yeah i noticed that theres a couple of glitches that can do that but ive played legitamitly since the game came out and i still have to buy gears every time i want to upgrade a gun
I think he meant that cheating wasn't necessary in actual gameplay. This was a demo build to show how it's done.
