Mystery Solved? It seems that a provisioner might actually count as a settler in their original settlement. Doesn't always happen because I have settlements with "0" people listed yet still have supply chains linked to it. But that might be because they originated from other settlements before being supply-chained to a "0" people settlement. It would be an interesting experiment to see if you attracted 20 settlers in a settlement and then sent them all off as provisioners. Would your settlement be totally empty and yet still show 20 people in Workshop mode?
theorically it should still be marked with 20 settlers although I'd strongly no recommend that as your happiness will decrease fast (no food no guards) and you may lose the settlement and so your supply lines as well
Now 20 Automatron Provisioners on the other hand, care not for your irrational human need for happiness.
Yes, a provisioner does count as a settler and goes towards your population count. As such, you need to supply an extra bed for them to use as well. The problem with them phasing in and out of the population count, lies within the vanilla bug with all settlements. As everyone should know by now, Bethesda never fully fixed the pip-boy/map settlement statistics. It still gets confused if you are not in the settlement. This is partly due to the fact that the settlement doesn't physically exist in game until you zone it in. But, that's how they programmed it to avoid memory issues while playing. The game kind of suspends the settlements so that it doesn't have to keep all of the animations of the settlers and whatnot running in the background while you are nowhere near it.
And as Kevin Alibert said, while a settler is assigned as a provisioner, they will never reached a 100% happiness level. You can still get the settlement to 100% with a provisioner. But, the provisioner will always drag the numbers down.
And if you have all of your settlers assigned as provisioners, your population will fluctuate depending on when you look at the stats and how many are physically present in the location at that time. As I stated before, you still need to meet the requirements of that settlement. Meaning, that you have to have enough beds, as well as enough food, water and defense to support the population.
@Paul Gettle. . .yes. You can do an all automatron as provisioner settlement. That's what I use the Mechanist Lair for. Since automatrons are permanently stuck at 50% happiness you can forego the normal settlment features (food, water, defense, etc.). Keep in mind that they never fixed automatrons as provisioners. Normal human/ghoul provisioners are protected and can not die. However, automatrons as provisioners never get that script. They can be killed. And on top of that, they never fixed the glitch that despawns all of the improvements that you've done to them. Meaning that if they despawn while you are away, they default back to the default protectron. Whatever options, weapons or armor that you outfitted them with will be lost. Sometimes they come back. Sometimes not.
P.S. Extra credit side note. If you want one settlement to supply all of the commonwealth, then make your hub at V88. If you use the terminal settler beacon (I'm not sure if the normal radio tower beacon works this way), the population cap is 30, rather than the normal 20. All charisma bonuses and glitches work to surpass this as well. With no charisma bonus or glitching involved I capped my V88 at 31. I don't know how that happened. They all showed up while I was building and rebuilding the vault. I didn't glitch any of them in. I didn't even know I had the first 20 since I was building nonstop for the first 40 hours after opening it up : )
Court Beckius, so glad you let me know about the automatron provisioner glitch. I had built the fastest, coolest-looking automatron provisioner for my Covenant build that I was gonna show off in the video. It was amazing and took me a while to assemble. Then when I get ready to record, it'd turned into some slow/lame automaton that didn't look anything like what I'd originally built. I blew it off because I needed to get to on to recording but what you said now explains the mystery. Can't believe they didn't patch that bug. 😤
Provisioners do have a "home base" in the settlement they were set to be a provisioner in. They take up a bed and require food and water. However, the settlement with 20 settlers all set as provisioners uses up food and water from the linked settlements, so they don't starve. I usually do this with hangman's alley, since it's centrally located and has hardly any room for farms.
I LOVE your laid back attitude in these videos. You seem genuinely happy to be showing us this stuff, and it really makes a difference. Keep these things going!
Hey thanks Brian. Your comment made my day. :)
@@SkooledZone provisoners are counted as settlers. Maybe that's why u can't find at her settler. Just an idea
Yepp, he is the Bob Ross of video gaming. Just so laid back, friendly, happy.
@@SkooledZone I’ve watched your build series more than once and if I could borrow one attribute from you it would be your patience. I follow you enough to know there’s been some bumps in the road but I truly hope you get to do this full time.
Yeah 3 years on but agreed nontheless :)
You sir are a genius this problem with junk fences not snapping together properly has always really bugged me , brilliant I take my crumpled fedora off to you .
So, I'm very late to the Fallout 4 party, but I just want to say that... You, sir, are the Bob Ross of Fallout settlement building.
Haha, nice. I've been told that before :) th-cam.com/video/iauUrvDUToA/w-d-xo.htmlm32s
No such thing as too late 4years later it's still awesome
@@randystanton1224I’m even later than you!
The fact you have to use glitches to make settlements looks nice and natural shows just how flawed Bethesda’s programming is
It sure does Howard!
You mean "feature rich "
I wish it was kind of like forge from Halo
So bugged it's not bugged. That's how you know it's quality
*It just works!*
Using concrete foundations in conjunction with junk fences: genius!! Been playing this game a long time and still learning. Love it!!
ikr? totally genius !
I've been playing this since it's release date. And I never knew you could do fences like that. Or do a group move by holding (X). Nice videos. Keep them coming 👍
Keith Hill another true fan god bless
I just discovered it also
In Fallout 5, they should take a note from Halo's Forge system and let the player become an Eye-Bot during Workshop Mode.
It would eliminate the need for a jetpack or fiddling with stairs when doing tall pieces, quicker movement speed, smaller character profile so it wouldn't be such a chore to find that 'perfect angle' in a small area (such as interiors). But back to the video, this is a lifesaver, I really enjoy the junk fences so being able to make solid fence lines is a dream come true. Thank you very much!
👍
My console would explode bro 🥺
Donald McFarland nah if they copy halo they better make us the little forge ball lol
Well... I hope there will be a Fallout 5 and not some worse trash than 76 was.
@@Volgin93 Amen brother
Hi, I´ve only been at this game for about 5 months. Already clocked up around 650 hours, and I just love the building part of this game. I just wanted to say thanks to you, and all the others, who have put so much time and effort into these videos over the years, to help newbees like me to get even more fun out of this game. It´s been worth it. Thank you all. 🤠
Generally, the bigger tank is oxygen; the smaller is acetylene.
The extra settler(s) is usually a Provisioner.
The pump ghost, for me, happened when I fast travelled away while my companion was pumping. Try having your companions use the pump and stop on their own.
Informative vid, as always. Much appreciated!
Wow you know a lot
Sometimes it counts a settler that is still in route to the settlement too. I've seen that when rescuing settlers and sending them to a specific settlement. The settlement number goes up even though that settler may still be walking in my sightline on the other side of the map.
Me: has 27 mods installed
Also me: "finally! A settlement video for me!"
I know these are older videos but they are still some of my favorite videos. I’ll take a while off of playing but, like now, am doing another play through. These videos are great refreshers. Thanks!
Skooled, you're the Fallout 4 version of Bob Vila. Awesome stuff my friend.
Bob Vila was a hack and nothing but a pretty face for television. Paul's more of a Norm Abrams, knows his tools inside and out and gets shit done.
Yeah, Vila was a total poseur that could not stand behind his work and the team; referencing the debacle of the semi-automated house systems they incorporated in one of their builds and the new owners had huge difficulties with the systems not working, breaking, becoming unusable. Vila blamed the owners for lack of knowledge and tampering, which did not happen. Norm Abrams is a total craftsman with amazing skills and does not do anything half-assed or it's-good-enough. I design and construct custom loudspeakers, which involves proper woodworking/cabinet-making skills. I've learned so much from Norm over the years, tips, techniques and especially the jigs I made for my woodworking tools, that have elevated my skills to far beyond recognized name-brand speakers. Just like Paul has done with my F4 building skills! Plus what I've also learned from all the great comments and ideas, thank you everyone!
He’s Mike Holmes....
And now on this old wasteland making beautiful structural masterpieces without modification
Normally I would be mad at long tutorials like this when they could easily be 3 minutes long, but this guys voice just makes it impossible to hate him, he's literally just Adam Sandler playing FO4, how could you hate that
Haha, thanks man. I'll take that as a compliment. And the funny thing is that I even look a tiny bit like Adam Sandler.
I love the way you manipulate the game to make stuff work. It's absolutely fascinating to watch these videos.
Holy crap this was unexpected. I played fallout 4 when it first came out, but left my Xbox one for my brother when I moved out of my parent house. I just got a new Xbox and it's awesome to see you making videos for it still since fallout is the first thing I got lol
You are a good brother
Even though I do use mods, I'm stuck with Fallout 4 on Xbox One, so all of these no-mod classes have been *really* helpful! For where there's not a mod ported over to Xbox. Thank you!
I have watched every single one of your settlement building videos. I just love them, great re-watchability
Wow, thanks!
You are a true inspiration! I am about to make my first junk fence perimeter so of course, came to your channel for clear, concise instructions. ;)
Paul, Glad your back at it, going back and watching older videos because my son wants to build better settlements together and your videos show some awesome tricks to help bring his vison to life
And years later this is still a lifesaver! The Commonwealth thanks you sir!
I bursted out laughing since my brain cells snapped into place together when the video showed how we can snap junk fences tgt
Skooled, your content is so well put together that I've only watched your videos for the past 6 years when I need tips for settlement building.
Awesome! Always bugged me that when I placed fences and walls they were like a mile off the ground in places. Thanks alot, I'll DEFINITELY be using this technique in future builds.
You dont have one of those annoying , neurotic voices, you explain clearly and slow enough to follow. Great explanation for newbies, Thanks
💛
Mate you are ridiculously efficient at settlement building. I'm consider myself a master builder but you take it to a whole other level. You've definitely given me a ton of tips that I either didn't know, or gave me variations of them that are much easier/quicker than what I was used to. Love your channel man. Especially this series.
I like the little pitted patter of the feet.
This....I just....I love you. The staircase rug fudge will be a welcome addition to my settlements.
😁
I have been playing Fallout 4 for about 9 months now and settlement building is one of my favorite things about the game. The settlers not so much, BUT I am very thankful for finding this specific video and will be watching all of your other past and upcoming videos. Thank you ^.^
Awesome. Glad the videos helped! :)
I was using only the stair method and started having my doubts after experiencing some issues. Then I used the rug trick in combination with the stairs and got my fences merged into each other! Great stuff
You are life saver ! I really needed this, I have been flipping my lid trying to do this.
These videos are great! I can finally make my settlements look nice. I followed some of your lighting ideas and it made Sanctuary look so much nicer.
Two great glitches, underground power (genius) and backwards crafting station (even more genius) Thank you
The most underrated channel on this platform I’ve been binging your videos since I found you big love man my settlements thank you greatly 😂
Within 25min whoop. Sweet video! I passed the junk walls for the most part as they are a pain to try to use. Now I will have to use the new knowledge and make a new raider settlement.
You’re the Al Borland to my Tim Taylor this has helped me so much 🔨🔨🔨🛠
It’s great to revisit these videos. I forgot all about the ladder version of the pillar glitch!
I’m using a mod called larger settlement attacks, and walling off settlements is actually important.
I just started watching your vids a couple of dats ago and I'm hooked. Love your corny humor (hey, it's a compliment). I was JUST having this problem while building yesterday and this video helped a lot. So thank you!!
I appreciate that! And compliment taken. 😉
Most I’ve learned from a single FO4 building video. Thank you
Wow, thanks!
Love this video and the techniques you are showing. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
It's both amazing that players like you were able to figure these tricks out, and that Bethesda didn't have the foresight to allow easy snapping and auto-sinking/leveling of things like fences - they should have added things like slim fence foundation pieces...
GREAT TIPS. using the rugs on the fences with the tires allowed me to put the original fences back up at the NATIONAL PARK VISITORS CENTER i was even able to glitch the fence through that half wall to fully enclose it.. Thanks...
I remember when i first started playing last year, i dont i couldn't even get the rug glitch to work. Look at me now, glitching fences and walls.. WOOHOO !!!
THANKS TO THE SKOOLED ZONE
Daaaaaaaaamn man! Those are some nice ass walls 👍👍 I've always loved the look of the junk fences but they always drive me crazy trying to use them in a good build.
😂👍
Thanks for this. I made miles of beautiful junk fence this weekend.
Finally.😎👍🏼
That rug really ties the settlement together.
you can overlap anything you want using the TCL command, turn off clipping, click and tab the piece you want to overlap something on not moving it, and then you can place anything in the space it occupies. I use it for making buildings that have odd angles, putting more plants into a raised garden plot than will normally fit (corn great example, if you place the corn normally you'll get four corn plants in a garden plant, but if you go into TCL you can put a dozen corn plants in a plot. You can squeeze turrets together, merge things like the concrete window and screen pieces to make a screened window. TCL is my go to tool now for making the impossible placements possible
I'm a pretty decent builder thanks to videos like yours. Loved this one, subbed and going to watch through the other videos to get some new ideas!
Awesome, Kyle. And welcome aboard!
I used this the other day. I was working on Far Harbor, and one of the settlements you get, I think it is the camp ground building, has a seamless junk fence surrounding it, except for 2 spots. Using this concept, I was able to place the door frame back into place, and get the fence piece that had fallen into line with the rest of the fence. I will be using this at other settlements as well. I had tried to build a junk fence around all of Sanctuary before I found this channel, but the best I could do before scrapping the whole thing was to put them in place, and fill any gaps with small fence posts. It looked terrible, and used so much of my settlement size, I had to scrap it all to build anything else.
👌😁
Found your video, I don't have the no snap ladders but I tried your rug technique and after a few attempt I figured it out, now I have seamless fences too, awesome videos. Thank you.
4 years later, BUT I just got to the part where you thought to utilize the bus and that was cool because in my first Survival (before the revamp) playthrough, I decked out Oberland and used a bus for the wall as well!
This is exactly what I wanted to do at Oberland Station, but it's such a headache. Thank you sir!
Never really watched your videos before, glad I found this one. The junk fences irritate the hell out of me and I even use Place Anywhere as a mod to help force them into the ground, even with that though it's hard to make them look set up properly. Gona have to watch more of your work, knowing and seeing you do it without mods means I'll be able to do it even easier with mods. Thanks man and keep up the good work
You are an artist in a dystopian paradise. I love your videos and wish one day you can do this full time
Great video, interesting method! I LOVE the idea of using the sloped roof pieces for hills! I also love the idea of sinking a bulky (and vulnerable to attack) generator into the ground! My Oberland Station settlement lost power when their generator was damaged in an attack, and I've been walling up generators pretty carefully since then. I never thought about underground power! :D
Since I play on a PC with a mouse & keyboard rather than a controller, I prefer using console commands for positioning objects (ModPos Z -5 or -10 is usually enough to get rid of those annoying bottom gaps), I find it a little faster than your method, but honestly, not by that much. It's pretty impressive to get results like this as quickly as you have, without directly entering code.
Your open letter suggestion is lovely, you can justify it by using an eyebot to help you build, which can hover around and give that perspective. It would kind of work like a drone view.
These are such obscure topics for videos, I love it. Subbed!
I ALSO BUILD IN THERE! 6:55
Only you can't put beds, or put
chairs in room, or else settlers
will enter that room too. :-/
I discovered option, b'cause of
an other vid of you :
Jamaica Plain vid. So, thanks
for that vid. :) Thanks to that
vid you made, I made many
OOB locations now,
in settlements. :)
One thing you might find interesting is that there are actually some Rail Buses that were used in Germany that look almost exactly like that school bus (but with different livery), so it's not too unrealistic to imagine that is an actual rail bus. But anyways, excellent tutorial.
Build wish request for Fallout 5: allow the character to toggle snapping interior furnishings to a grid based on floor tiles, no more trying minor rotations just to get beds and counters to run parallel to walls.
For tge love of god yes please
omg yes, im just starting to mod this game for practice for the next installment, ill look into doing something with this idea, but prolly a long ways off, still trying to get models to import into the creation kit lol
I’ve had this game sitting on the shelf for like 7 years. Never played it once. Never played any fallout game before. Finally decided to give it a shot here in 2023 and now I have a settlement-building addiction.
I know many people in your shoes. And it's never too late for class. ;-)
Given you a sub on this video mate. I really love how laid back you are and the passive aggressiveness of your laughter when you make a mistake, it's actually comedic to me and I love that! I've actually learned something now thanks to you!
😄
I don't think you mentioned, but the tall guard posts match the junk fences really well. Put a few of those in the wall, it will look cool.
I use them for the corners. I place them at a 45 degree angle to the walls, pointing outwards.
Loved that generator glitch!
I'm using a lot of mods to build a settlement, but I get some really good building ideas for making an even more immersive looking settlement. Thank you for all those tipps and tricks. :-)
👍
wish I had found you / this class sooner but better late than never, great stuff, cheers man
Hehe, you're never late to this class. ;-)
Your attitude is so great man. Just finding these now and it's giving me Andrew Kramer / Video Copilot vibes
i've got 40 hours into my current Fallout 4 run, i just found this video and now i'm going to delete my save, start over and finally be able to enjoy building fenced in settlements without my brain wanting to scream
Hey there, setting up my Junk Fence like you showed, and I've been using two of the larger black rugs to position fences and they work great. You can also stare at the ground and pick your rugs back up, it'll show rug as targeted if you have issues finding an edge to grab, but I've sunk the stair stack as far as possible and nearly always get the big rugs back, love all the tips!
Thanks!
That you back Gail! ⭐
Thank you so much!!!! I can finally build a wall around santuary hills, your channel rocks!!!
Nicely done. Helpful as always Paul, keep up the great work.
Thanks Destiny!
Skooled Zone you're welcome. 😊
Yessss this is one of those things I've always wanted to know. Thanks for the constant help!!
I love all your videos and you are a phenomenal builder.I love when I get notifications from you It’s like watching a favorite tv show😀.
I just discovered your channel last week. You give great tips! Totally improving my builds! And I have been playing this game for a few years, lol! Thanks dude.
never subscribe to these channels normally, but your content is awesome and easy to follow
You can use paintings as rugs too when placing conduits to run wires through walls.
Can't wait to try the junk wall snap mate, thanks for the help lad
Any time!
i did it with rugs, OMG that was sooo F****** hard but this stair method rocks my sox. definitely getting a lot of awesome building tips from your channel
found out only like two fences work for it otherwise i wasted hours figuring that out
It might have to do with distance. I was able to use it on all of them. But if the stairs don't work then the pillar/rug combo does: th-cam.com/video/1mXvZYiOK5A/w-d-xo.html
Great video and can't wait to hear the better audio when it happens. I can't wait to see what the next video you bring out.
👊
I'd consider myself a pretty experienced builder but I'm still learning so much from your videos... you really earned yourself my sub! Keep up the good work :)
These are so charming. Wish I’d seen these on my first playthrough, and it’s very helpful for my second
Another great video keep it up skooledzone can’t wait to see more building videos. You are one of my favorite TH-camrs and I hope you can do this full time.
i love the foundations idea, it's actually a bit cheaper to use the warehouse foundations as they don't require steel....and concrete is sold cheaply by nearly all vendors. i've built a seamless foundation wall around Starlight using a similar method, using the wooden floor/staircase piece to offset the height of each foundation, and building the walls from the steel warehouse pieces.....makes for an impressive looking fortress!
Right on!
I wish there was a "scrap all" selection. Like, "scrap all junk" or even a function to scrap all of an individual item in a settlement. Like "scrap all paintings" for example.
Love all your videos. . You have helped so many F4 player . I myself salute you my friend . Keep up the awesome work . And a big Thank You
As always I love your vids. This is off topic to this vid, but I noticed another Jamaica Plains secret. You may have already discovered it, but the church (I think to the east) across the street from the house that you glitched in has a cooking station that is connected to the Jamaica Plains work shop. It's interesting for the obvious reason that it is not directly connected to the settlement proper. I'm sure it was planned to be but for whatever reason it got cut. More evidence that Jamaica Plains was planned on being made larger than it turned out.
Cool video Paul, I beat the game to death years ago but the craving kicked in after E3 / Fallout 76 trailer. Had to check back with my settlers and BUILD some more! Glad I found your channel... new sub here ;-)
Awesome. Welcome back to the game, and to the Skooled Zone! =)
Thank you so much for all your hard work on this series.
Hey, I thought I'd suggest using a delayed off switch set to .5 for ur mortar. U can walk up to it and activate it just like a regular switch but turns off automatically. The mortar fires at .5 intervals if continually powered. So it works perfectly. Just a thought. Good work.
Nice one Benjamin. I'll add that to my upcoming Miscellaneous Tips Part 2 video and credit you for the suggestion. 👍 Too bad it doesn't flip the switch back on its own though. The pressure plate might be an even better way to do this. :)
Skooled Zone ooohh! I like that! That's a great idea. I never think to use those. Gold star 4 u teach!
You sir are a goddamn wizard. Well done. I'm totally going to be trying this stuff myself now that I can do it.
Great tips as always Paul,thank you sir,keep this going as it's an invaluable resource for us all,noobs & veterans alike.😁👍
You bet 👍
I don't usually comment, but your videos are truly inspirational.
Love these videos. They are very helpful even four years later :)
Paul:
I noticed you can be quite jittery when trying to place object with group select. I usually turn my look sensitivity down when settlement building. It seems to help me out.
I still don't know why walls built completely and carelessly out of junk should be aligned perfectly straight but, a tip I learned from SarDeliac, is to turn your hud colors all the way to the left. That removes the glow around the item you are trying to place and makes it much easier to see how they are lining up.
That's a great tip. I was thinking about that the other day in fact because I like the sensitivity high for combat. I'll just need to remember to turn it down for building. LOL.
I guess that a good suggestion for FO5 building would be to allow you to have separate settings menus for when you are in build mode or not that are automatically applied when you enter and exit build mode. Remembering to fiddle with your settings every time you pop into and out of build mode is another hassle that really shouldn't be necessary in modern gaming. A build mode settings menu shouldn't be too difficult for developers to implement.
Very nice videos. I come back from time to time and I need refresher so your video helps a tons! Thank you.
*Great video, mate! I guess you getting a lot more views now seeing fallouts popularity has increased lol Cheers* 💪👍
I appreciate it! =)
I used this trick my new vid (and gave props DW) and I just gotta say thanks dude and keep it up
What you have with the pump, I have with the bench press from vault tec, the weights go up and down and nobody is laying under it. The missing settler, is probably the provisioner, and occupies also a bed in your settlement. He is probably recruited from the settlement you showing and so that settlement is his home plate. Great vids by the way.
Great stuff Paul keep up the hard work man!
Ah Paul, the bonus tip is going to save me so much time! You're a gem! Thank you
