I've spend god knows how many hours at a few different tries and I've still not gotten past the main mission at concard. I want to enjoy the game, but I need the trophies too. These bushes at sanctuary are killing me every time but no other way since mods disable trophies.
I've used Scrap Everything since the beginning and I'm pretty sure it kills your settlement build capacity unless you go through and delete everything. Seems like every vanilla builder can build way more than I can without using tricks.
@@Vazelakopoulos13 Finish the story, get your trophies and then comeback to build stuff. :) I've played Fallout 4 times now, the first I've stopped playing in the middle for many reasons, the second I finish the game and got the platinum, 3rd was building focused and right now I'm wrapping myself around the DLC's.
@@Feoliveiran I wish it was that simple, but my OCD and my perfection when it comes to games like fallout, it really complicates things. Right now I'm trying to create a perfect save with a pre concard settlement but bugs/glitches and other little complications are getting in the way xD.
@@Vazelakopoulos13 are you playing Fallout on a console? There is a mod called Achievements that lets you still get trophies. Also, there is a mod called Buffout that has the Achievement mod in it. I am not sure if either of those mods can be used on Playstation or Xbox.
In survival mode, if raiders attack Sanctuary I always drag the corpses to the other side of the bridge and line up their headless bodies with the side of the road. Just a little reminder to travelers stopping by that we don’t tolerate violence.
Few enemies will try to cross the south bridge. Very occasionally one or two raiders will come walking down the road from Red Rocket. A single small turret will take care of them. Sanctuary has 3 enemy spawn points, and none are at that bridge. The one in that area is about 15-20 yards west of the southwest corner of your gym, on the water's edge and about 10-12 feet high. They spawn in the air, fall to the ground and charge off mostly east, some may charge off north looking for a way between the houses to get into the interior of the settlement. The north spawn point is well covered. The east spawn point is a half dozen feet outside the settlement area, east of the eastern most hedge almost even with your tree ring. You have a few turrets that will likely never fire a shot but any enemies that escape your turrets will have the entire settler population charging them with guns a-blazing. I loved your build. It looked good and was well done.
I was about to say the same thing. You would think attackers come across the bridge, but it's to the right when facing the bridge from Sanctuary. Then down the trail you first go down from your house to Vault 111 in the beginning, and the third is to the right of the house with the cellar and the tree leaning against the roof. After knowing that, I centralized my turrets in 2 towers that cover where the attackers would come from when heading towards my main house/workshop. I think it was a video by Oxhorn that shows all the attacker spawn points for each settlement. Still like your videos though. I just started Fallout 4 for the first time about 2 months ago. Videos like these are helping with my Settlement builds.
The one thing I focused on in Sanctuary was building a fortified wall around the entire settlement. Three times - first with wood, then with steel, and lastly with meter-thick concrete. And then I found out about the stupid spawn points _inside_ my impenetrable fort and gave up on finishing the settlement. Built a skyscraper at Red Rocket and then completely lost interest. Because with enemies _teleporting _*_inside_* your heavily fortified settlement,... ... what's the point??!?
That is what killed my enthusiasm too. It's like "There are 30+ assorted turrets about, numerous heavily armed and armoured guards, and a solid ass wall. Why the F*** are three raiders with a pipe pistol and pipes attacking it? How the fuck are they getting in the middle of it? And most importantly, HOW THE FUCK DID THEY WIN? I shouldn't need to bother running to their aid at that point!"
When I build my Sanctuary, I always use mods. I treat it more like a proper settlement, like Diamond City or maybe more akin to the Hub in FO1. Nothing fancy, grungy and lived in. Renovate the houses, turn some into businesses, build a lot of them as homes though. Then make a market circle around the big tree for the traveling merchants. One building is dedicated to “Minuteman Operations” with a ham radio, lockers, barracks, and weapons. And around the old playground I build a few extra homes to look more like what you’d find in Junktown or Goodneighbor. A train car, flaming barrels, a shambled food market like in DC. My main Minuteman base is always the Castle. But I never want it to just be a military outpost. I build 3-story apartments in the courtyard, main businesses are in the walls, barracks in the west broken wall that also acts as a police station. There are smaller homes outside the walls that are for those that are in need and can’t fit inside. And the north broken wall is turned into the main entrance with a closing garage door for attacks. MM are stationed on the walls, outside in Vault-Tec overlooks, and of course on the artillery. I use a modded version of Hangman’s Alley so 8 can use the actual buildings for homes and businesses. It’s a key trading post with Minuteman guards and even artillery on the roofs. Think MM Bunker Hill. Jamaica Plains is also modded so it’s easier to build in. That’s more of a MM outpost and small village. Starlight Drive-In is a factory settlement that makes weapons, armor, ammunition, everything from contraptions.
I love the idea of a Factory town, and it being in a key trading hub like Starlight is such a Inspired idea, the best idea i had in Fallout 4 building was making Red Rocket truck stop a shanty town. (think of how free-side was built outside of New Vegas
I'm a big fan of building on the little flat bits where houses once stood. I'll usually start at the end of the road and slowly expand towards the bridge, filling in gaps between buildings with fences and walls if desired. This leads to me making the buildings near the entrance fancy for traders and guests while practical housing is hidden away safely at the rear.
Much more organized than my sanctuary lol. I turned all the original houses into appliance buildings. Outhouse, bathhouse, kitchen house, the ones by the roundabout tree are the trading areas, barhouse full of bars, armor and weapon shop, and the general shop. The scrapable spots I turned into bunk houses and armory’s/barracks. The one by the bridge is security house/ artillery building with 10 artillery’s on the roof!!!!
I tend to wall the entire settlement with junk walls. I have two or three gatehouses if I am feeling generous and if not just one way in at the bridge. I protect the gatehouses with level two machine gun turrets which appear to be sufficient. I'll also stick several turrets on the roof of the house with the leaning log, as it is otherwise the only way in for raiders. I use the existing houses for settler sleeping areas and one for generator housing. I plant industry crops out in the open for my settlers to work for me, taters, corn and mutfruit. I plant them in easy to pick rows so I can harvest them myself for when I need to make adhesives. I have a single structure I build to hold all the merchant and recreation areas. I also build a huge number of water purification plants so the settlement generates several hundred purified water per day. I use that water to barter for any scrapable junk useful for raw materials at the games shops, not to mention of course any other gear I might want.
Your water pump building, you could use a electric switch type door. NPC's wont use them. They can spawn and teleport into the room though. Like the Brahmin sometimes do into the houses. NPC's will teleport if they cant figure out the navmesh. They get 3 try's to figure it out and get the option to teleport to a nearby navmesh. Its how they end up on the roofs. They also wont try to unlock doors. So hangmans ally you could leave one door locked and they will have to walk all the way around. If you wall off your settlement completely the AI will assume they just cant figure it out and teleport. Make entrance paths and load it up with turrets.
I built at Oberland Station and Taffington Boathouse before doing anything in Sanctuary, a memorial to the past...a fortified tower mansion by the bridge, and a new roof across the street from the house (with the workshop in it), to keep Carla's brahmin off of it...and out of the house...a couple dog houses and feed throughs...put the cooking station in my driveway...lights for the shop and the house, and the tower, the rest is left alone, which is good, when you have lots of heavy lasers... No one else lives there...besides a robot two dogs, and a couple brahmin... Nice base 😃
Thank you for this video! I’m on the lookout for all Settlement vids I can find that use neither Mods NOR Console Commands, and this certainly looks like it might fit the bill. I need some massive inspiration since I’m new to building in general.
Been meaning to rebuild my Sanctuary for a while. Started off with a central sleeping tower and a few turret towers. Planning on rebuilding everything in a centralized pyramid topped with a turret array. I try to keep turrets at a lower amount with an eye for versatile fields of overlapping fire, to keep Defense # low to encourage raids. Need to keep that raider scrap flowing to feed the Scrap Throne. I arm my settlers to the teeth so raiders get torn to pieces before they reach the front lines. My turrets really just act as pointers to tell me where the attackers are.
Lovely Settlement.. im always amazed at such settlements ..i do not have the talent or patience to build like this..i try then it doesn't work i get mad and just go kill some things :)
Great video , I’m planning on a bar & since this takes place in Boston- I thought a Cheers theme layout would be great - sturgis will make a decent Ted danson / Trashcan Carla can be Carla
I never went that far, Starlight Drive in is more fun to build on. I did maybe 80% of that once. I got the Slocum Joe's CC so every settlement needs one. Also like you said Arty is a must. You had a few ideas I wish I'd thought of! Still now I know a thing I didn't!
You: "My power armor is being displayed without a fusion core inside so nobody can just hop in and run off..." Me: *remembers when I stepped out of my suit to hack a sit-down terminal and my companion fucking stole it*
Wow! You weren't kidding about the spoilers. I am a fallout noob and I must admit that I never realised just how big the game was, till I watched the show on Prime video. Playing and loving Fallout 4 on my series S currently. 👍 ✌️
@GreyGaming How did you place those Vault Tec items outside of the Vault? Do you have to complete the questline to do that? Edit: I just Googled it quickly, so I'll quickly finish the questline 👍
I have the new vault tech reactor and super reactor. So I built the building that houses the reactor with vault stuff and everything else is cement and warehouse buildings. I also use my companions as traders between my settlements. Although I hate that Garvey makes me lose my settlements by not stopping with the radiant quests. I have more problems and more settlements then I am supposed to have at my stage in the game, because of him.
My sanctuary hills was boss. Had like 80 residents, two turrets (light and heavy) per settler. Enough water for five settlements, enough food for several settlements, and a shit ton of custom buildings and vendors. It got attacked exactly one time. I guess a turret every three feet on a tall concrete wall wasn't something raiders wanted to test. :P
Great video! I have completely stolen your water pump cage idea, added the power inside to run multiple pumps, and then added a Restaurant on the top for the view I've called the "Pump House Restaurant". Decent views, softens the concrete. :D
I ended up using the existing buildings and turning the kitchens into the shops, and the living rooms became whatever I thought would be appropriate with the shops. Most bedrooms I fit 3 beds, wardrobes and lamps, the furnace rooms could fit one or two beds and a footlocker, and the bathrooms got to be bathrooms haha. I have about 30 beds doing this, if I turned my own bedroom and baby room into guest rooms, I could probably fit 35-38.
@@michaeldimodica1018 once you complete the vault 88 story you should have access to all vault items at any settlement, I've built many a above ground vault.
Where in the world do you get all the scrap to build this kinda stuff? I have plenty of wood and steel but the rest seems like it takes forever to accumulate.
When it comes to defense, I try and stick with the heavy laser turrets as much as possible. I've used missile turrets before and have had some of my settlers get badly injured from the splash damage they create.
I plug the gaps in the hedge with a wood wall and make a wall where there is none so raiders go through the only enterance that can be defended with a few basic turrets.
I don't believe is a steel platform template. I think he used the small floors from the "concrete" sections, and then used the stairs from the "warehouse" section, since it's not so broad, and can snap to the small upper floor, even with the vault railing
Now, was this all built without mods, I recently started playing Fallout 4 again just to build and what you have us very similar to what I have in mind for Sanctuary hills.
yes, my settlement builds for noobs sites are all done without mods, there are some creation club items here and there, but I try to make sure there is a vanilla equivalent for anything I use.
Hello. I love watching these videos. Unfortunately I don't have much of an imagination so I copy other people's builds. I was wondering if you had a video on how you built the housing. I've been experimenting but can't seem to figure out how to get the walls to line up correctly with the floors. I can build the outside walls, but can't figure out the inside walls.
Hey man, recently got back into F4 and was wondering, given the crap spawn points for raiders, could you not in theory wall off the inner portion of the settlement? From the sidewalks, leaves alot of building soace outside but could that not work?
I like using the wood pieces for my settlements because I struggle to place the concrete pieces accurately and the metal parts just bother me. Wood and scaffolding for me
How did you build the estates? I cant get everything to snap. Also it looks like you are using floors for the ceilings. If build the outside structure and put upper floors in, then the walls wont snap. If I build the walls first then the ceiling wont snap.
you can only snap floors to the bottom of walls so if you're going to use floors as ceilings you have to be able to build up at least one more level, then add a wall start the floors, then store the wall again once it's not needed to start the ceilings. if you're going to build multi-room structures, you can only use floors, ceilings cause collisions that prevent walls from being inserted on the inside.
Fairly new to fallout four question can they blow up settlements like if I have a fortress floating in the air only held by stairs and they just so happened to set it on fire or head with a nuke and crumble asking for a friend 😂
Hi, love your builds, how do you do the thing where you can pick up a few bits of joined up structure at the same time please, ive seen you do it loads of times in other vids
just hold the select button when you're hovering over one of the snapped pieces. it picks up things that are also nearby, so you can cause problems so quicksaving ahead of time if it's an option is recommended.
@@Theegreygaming awesome, thanks, one more then i'll leave you alone :) is there a way to move the workshop bench, its totally in the way of what I wanna do? I use PC btw.
actually there is, around the backside of the arcade cabinets a windowed concrete wall was used to allow a wire to pass through, and arcade cabinets automatically pass power to any cabinet they are snapped to so you only need the one to carry to the entire row, then you just run a wire from the end of the row to the slot machines, which unfortunately do have to be daisy chained.
Be careful with the creation club skins. Last valentines day I bought Charleston condo and downloaded the free skins from that month and it broke my 3 year runthru
Unfortunately they won't ever use it independently, but it does add 6 points of defense per battery to your settlements. I guess that could act as a deterant against attacks
If i fortify SH at all, i use the hedges as a barrier & just put either junk fences or concrete walls up against them. Saves on mats! Same concept at SSTC, Just build walls off edges of the buildings
Hey brother I'm new to fallout 4 how do you get all that stuff? The only building choices i have are like dingy wood, and ragety looking metal buildings?
@@Theegreygaming I just got them turns out my game needed an update. Thanks man I gotta try and make it look as fancy as you. How long did that take you?
don't use ceilings, for some reason collisions at the top of the wall prevent it from going through ceilings but if you just place a second set of floors above, they float slightly above the top of walls so there's no collision.
The game always says I can’t buil any more on this map, it’s just full, but I don’t have half of the buildings that you have. What’s going wrong with my game?
I respect the build as I did one on my first play through and figured out it isn’t worth it cause unless you make a video and post it nobody’s gonna see it and none of it really matters towards settlement happiness cause all you need is the basic’s and as long as you have them covered you are good cause after you get the achievement you really don’t have any need to get 100% happiness and can concentrate on all of them never ending radiant quest
Great video. Your settlement's look awesome but a little to complex for a beginner to the game. They need to release a option tool to demolish all the house's and a terrain tool.
I (almost) always 1st build a wall around the whole settlement.., sometimes a fence, but prefer walls ... (usally doesn't even take up that much "settlement space", when building a long, round wall around the whole settlement, so you can still build plenty of structures inside the safe wall;.. without a wall, just don't feel safe.., and it's easy to put roofs on some corner parts of the walls, to put guns / rocket launchers on them ... then I start building (big) structures, step by step, while making sure basics like food, water, beds are covered and increased step by step ... even around Sanctuary, you can easily build a wall completely around it, using some house back walls as part of the wall (just clog up some of the back wall windows)
for a roleplay perspective, its really good, but i personally wouldnt put time and effort to put ventilation, or a hangout area or whatever, as it just takes to much effort when the settlers wont even go in that area or certain features arent even in the game (ventilation, water stream droughting, or bathrooms)
i was hoping you would have broken down how you built these structures. what parts you used, how you did it, etc. theres a lot of building items i dont recognize. where do i find them?
most are from the game's DLC, I have a series called "commonwealth contractor" where I go into building certain styles of structure, and working with different materials, etc. that might be more what you're looking for.
So, clearly you know your business, but I heard you mention Oxhorn in another video .. have you ever utilized his turret platforms? Heavy machine turrets, cardinal directions, two levels high -- IMHO, makes absolute MINCEMEAT out of practically any adversary, especially if positioned in support of another turret platform!! Super-easy build, non-powered, unless you want to add spotlights, or if you want to utilize the platform height for a recruitment radio tower.
I am a Mod-free builder. I prefer that. Mods look like they just don't belong, do not even fit the game at all, and most certainly have negative game play side effects. BTW I've been playing since December of 2015 and on my 10th play. Sanctuary usually ends up with 35 to 45 settlers, depending. My latest builds would knock your socks off.
I respect you for doing everything without mods. Place anywhere and scrap everything is a must have mod for me.

Maybe I just don't have them, but what are those big white things on the entrance into sanctuary hills?
those are the vault-tec support struts from the vault build set.
@@Theegreygaming oh okay. I started a new playthrough without Mods and haven't gotten to that quest yet! Thanks! Been enjoying your vids
My sanctuary hills was boss. Had like 80 residents, two turrets (light and heavy) per settler. Enough water for five settlements, enough food for several settlements, and a shit ton of custom buildings and vendors.
It got attacked exactly one time. I guess a turret every three feet on a tall concrete wall wasn't something raiders wanted to test. :P
How did you get so many settlers if the max limit is 20? Mod perhaps?
@@JeffsCast no, just using exploits.
Great video! I have completely stolen your water pump cage idea, added the power inside to run multiple pumps, and then added a Restaurant on the top for the view I've called the "Pump House Restaurant". Decent views, softens the concrete. :D
very neat idea.
@@Theegreygaming Seriously, between you and Skooled, I've been completely sucked into Settlement building. Who was Shaun again??
I ended up using the existing buildings and turning the kitchens into the shops, and the living rooms became whatever I thought would be appropriate with the shops. Most bedrooms I fit 3 beds, wardrobes and lamps, the furnace rooms could fit one or two beds and a footlocker, and the bathrooms got to be bathrooms haha. I have about 30 beds doing this, if I turned my own bedroom and baby room into guest rooms, I could probably fit 35-38.
What did you use to make the platform for the artillery? I cant find those frames anywhere in the crafting menu
they are in the vault 88 build set, I think under misc...
@Grey Gaming im not able to access vault 88 items outside of the vault though. Is there a trick to it or just something im missing?
@@michaeldimodica1018 once you complete the vault 88 story you should have access to all vault items at any settlement, I've built many a above ground vault.
@@Theegreygaming i got it. I had to close out the game
Where in the world do you get all the scrap to build this kinda stuff? I have plenty of wood and steel but the rest seems like it takes forever to accumulate.
purchased mostly, or scrapped from weapons.
When it comes to defense, I try and stick with the heavy laser turrets as much as possible. I've used missile turrets before and have had some of my settlers get badly injured from the splash damage they create.
I plug the gaps in the hedge with a wood wall and make a wall where there is none so raiders go through the only enterance that can be defended with a few basic turrets.
Cool video! Where did you get the glass walls ?
how do you get this thing ? like steel stairs steel platform
That’s what I’m wondering
I don't believe is a steel platform template. I think he used the small floors from the "concrete" sections, and then used the stairs from the "warehouse" section, since it's not so broad, and can snap to the small upper floor, even with the vault railing
How did you get the garage door thing
Curious where you got the bike thingys at 4:08 anyone know?
vault tec workshop DLC.
@@Theegreygamingis this all from creation club?
Now, was this all built without mods, I recently started playing Fallout 4 again just to build and what you have us very similar to what I have in mind for Sanctuary hills.
yes, my settlement builds for noobs sites are all done without mods, there are some creation club items here and there, but I try to make sure there is a vanilla equivalent for anything I use.
Hello. I love watching these videos. Unfortunately I don't have much of an imagination so I copy other people's builds. I was wondering if you had a video on how you built the housing. I've been experimenting but can't seem to figure out how to get the walls to line up correctly with the floors. I can build the outside walls, but can't figure out the inside walls.
And how did you Mama Murphy to do stuff? Granted, I just started playing about to clear out the castle
Hey man, recently got back into F4 and was wondering, given the crap spawn points for raiders, could you not in theory wall off the inner portion of the settlement? From the sidewalks, leaves alot of building soace outside but could that not work?
Of course Strong hangs out in the greenhouse all day. He's green, therefore that must be his house.
'The jungle gym isn't safe to use'... as we go around getting into fire fights and blowing things up 😂
do you have a basic build video for you apartment buildings?
Do you have a video of you building the flats?
unfortunately I don't, but a little bit of the technique can be seen in my commonwealth contractor multi-room and multistory structure video.
Thank you, I’ll have a look now
I like using the wood pieces for my settlements because I struggle to place the concrete pieces accurately and the metal parts just bother me. Wood and scaffolding for me
Also my settlements may or may not have a bunch of robots running around 😂
@@attackduck9768 I.send.all.my.robots.except.Codsworth.to.Red.Rocket...
Oh, my God - the outside of those showers has me thinking "Auschwitz"
Jeepers, how fid you manage to get all that? I struggle for the materials.
Many.hours.of.killing.bad.guys.and.LOOTING.EVERYTHING...
Where in the workshop is the heavydoor at murphys located?
How did you build the estates? I cant get everything to snap. Also it looks like you are using floors for the ceilings. If build the outside structure and put upper floors in, then the walls wont snap. If I build the walls first then the ceiling wont snap.
you can only snap floors to the bottom of walls so if you're going to use floors as ceilings you have to be able to build up at least one more level, then add a wall start the floors, then store the wall again once it's not needed to start the ceilings. if you're going to build multi-room structures, you can only use floors, ceilings cause collisions that prevent walls from being inserted on the inside.
how i can get the light street and the big generation
Fairly new to fallout four question can they blow up settlements like if I have a fortress floating in the air only held by stairs and they just so happened to set it on fire or head with a nuke and crumble asking for a friend 😂
Hi, love your builds, how do you do the thing where you can pick up a few bits of joined up structure at the same time please, ive seen you do it loads of times in other vids
just hold the select button when you're hovering over one of the snapped pieces. it picks up things that are also nearby, so you can cause problems so quicksaving ahead of time if it's an option is recommended.
@@Theegreygaming awesome, thanks, one more then i'll leave you alone :) is there a way to move the workshop bench, its totally in the way of what I wanna do? I use PC btw.
I sort of just put a Gunter on that rickety Old bridge and yes there's a couple dead raiders on it in my game too because the minigun worked
Not to mention how in the he'll are the arcade machines powered without a wire and or hole in the wall to run wire to them ??
actually there is, around the backside of the arcade cabinets a windowed concrete wall was used to allow a wire to pass through, and arcade cabinets automatically pass power to any cabinet they are snapped to so you only need the one to carry to the entire row, then you just run a wire from the end of the row to the slot machines, which unfortunately do have to be daisy chained.
Wow your settlement is amazing
Do you have to do something to unlock these concrete structures? They dont appear in my building menus
requires the wasteland workshop DLC.
What are the white platforms at the bridge? I can’t find them in my game
vault tec supports.
Be careful with the creation club skins. Last valentines day I bought Charleston condo and downloaded the free skins from that month and it broke my 3 year runthru
This is all fron creation club?
Love the videos keep it up
Hey this is a really cool build
If you add artillery will they use it without ou having to throw the flare?
Unfortunately they won't ever use it independently, but it does add 6 points of defense per battery to your settlements. I guess that could act as a deterant against attacks
If i fortify SH at all, i use the hedges as a barrier & just put either junk fences or concrete walls up against them. Saves on mats! Same concept at SSTC, Just build walls off edges of the buildings
Hey brother I'm new to fallout 4 how do you get all that stuff? The only building choices i have are like dingy wood, and ragety looking metal buildings?
DLCs
@@Theegreygaming I just got them turns out my game needed an update. Thanks man I gotta try and make it look as fancy as you. How long did that take you?
@@11bbasterd I think I knocked this site out in a weekend, maybe two.
how in the world did you get so much concrete? This is one of my favorite builds though and I will be taking inspiration from this.
buy buy buy, it's virtually impossible to gather that much concrete from cement bags lying around.
I always have trouble getting interior concrete walls to place in between floors. Is there a trick?
don't use ceilings, for some reason collisions at the top of the wall prevent it from going through ceilings but if you just place a second set of floors above, they float slightly above the top of walls so there's no collision.
@@Theegreygaming does that include the floor - upper pieces? I rarely use ceiling pieces. Mostly just the uppers and quarter floors.
It does include the uppers. They are good to place at corners so the regular floors line up, then remove. All this time. It finally works. Thanks!
The game always says I can’t buil any more on this map, it’s just full, but I don’t have half of the buildings that you have. What’s going wrong with my game?
Search “settlement limit solution”.
Do you use any mods ? Because i have hard time to put that wood barricade around.
I respect the build as I did one on my first play through and figured out it isn’t worth it cause unless you make a video and post it nobody’s gonna see it and none of it really matters towards settlement happiness cause all you need is the basic’s and as long as you have them covered you are good cause after you get the achievement you really don’t have any need to get 100% happiness and can concentrate on all of them never ending radiant quest
6:15 Ahhh that's where the grills at.
I was looking for em' :D
Did you finish the game?
What mod are the white towers in at the front entrance
none they are from the vault tec worshop dlc
I cant seem to find the benchpresses.. a cant find anything that generates happiness, is it a add on or dlcs?
yes, vault tec workshop DLC adds most of the happiness generating objects.
@@Theegreygaming Thank you good sir! I heard that later in in the video to, I was to eager to know lol
Great content mate! Keep it up
Great video. Your settlement's look awesome but a little to complex for a beginner to the game. They need to release a option tool to demolish all the house's and a terrain tool.
which mods do you have? I am planning on my second run to go bonkers on building mods.
none. I do mod free settlement builds and usually restrict myself to only cosmetic alterations from the CC (new skins on existing vanilla objects)
I (almost) always 1st build a wall around the whole settlement.., sometimes a fence, but prefer walls
...
(usally doesn't even take up that much "settlement space", when building a long, round wall around the whole settlement, so you can still build plenty of structures inside the safe wall;.. without a wall, just don't feel safe.., and it's easy to put roofs on some corner parts of the walls, to put guns / rocket launchers on them
...
then I start building (big) structures, step by step, while making sure basics like food, water, beds are covered and increased step by step
...
even around Sanctuary, you can easily build a wall completely around it, using some house back walls as part of the wall (just clog up some of the back wall windows)
How the hell did you manage to put inner concrete walls?! I've been trying for sooooo long
Do you have a guide on how to build it?
How have you got half of these buildings?
for a roleplay perspective, its really good, but i personally wouldnt put time and effort to put ventilation, or a hangout area or whatever, as it just takes to much effort when the settlers wont even go in that area or certain features arent even in the game (ventilation, water stream droughting, or bathrooms)
i was hoping you would have broken down how you built these structures. what parts you used, how you did it, etc. theres a lot of building items i dont recognize. where do i find them?
most are from the game's DLC, I have a series called "commonwealth contractor" where I go into building certain styles of structure, and working with different materials, etc. that might be more what you're looking for.
Is this all Vanilla? And is this including DLC?
God bless the minutemen
what mode is this concrete buildings????
0:16 How are you flying around like that?
I think he's using a consol command
Can you do like house designs with and without mods that you can put in any settlement just like cordless does
11:57
Cool build. What do you mean you waited for them to go on sale for free?
CC items regularly go on sale for 100% off, making them free. some people call them giveaway months but it's basically describing the same thing.
@@Theegreygaming
Ahhhh, right. I never knew that. Thanks for the reply and the great videos.
@@Theegreygaming
Do they do that often.
So, clearly you know your business, but I heard you mention Oxhorn in another video .. have you ever utilized his turret platforms? Heavy machine turrets, cardinal directions, two levels high -- IMHO, makes absolute MINCEMEAT out of practically any adversary, especially if positioned in support of another turret platform!! Super-easy build, non-powered, unless you want to add spotlights, or if you want to utilize the platform height for a recruitment radio tower.
How did you get all the arcades games and stuff i dont have them when i build my settlements ?
I am a Mod-free builder. I prefer that. Mods look like they just don't belong, do not even fit the game at all, and most certainly have negative game play side effects.
BTW I've been playing since December of 2015 and on my 10th play. Sanctuary usually ends up with 35 to 45 settlers, depending.
My latest builds would knock your socks off.
Thanks.
How is this for noobs? IDK how to make any of this
