I like to use it as three main "robot logistics hubs". Since bots reduce settlement happiness, I keep like 3-5 of them with only robots and send like half a dozen robot provisioners to them. So like Hangman's Alley goes to Jamaica Plains, the Castle, and Oberland, a bunch from Greygarden go to Taffington, Oberland, and Starlight, and then some at Red Rocket connect Sanctuary and all my satellite farms up north to the rest of the network. The result is 80%+ of my provisioners being tough-ass robots and no overlap between human and mechanical settlers. Hangman's Alley is so cash. Do the bots, have like five stay there and farm and the rest run trade lines and you just need your one bed and shack there with some crafting benches and spare ammo if it isn't already your central main spot.
Through various playthroughs I've always enjoyed building in Hangman's Alley. Now I usually have all kinds of mods which help quite a bit, but when the game first came out I only had what initially was in the vanilla workshop. So I know how much of a challenge it can be! I applaud your hard work and tenacity when building this impressive settlement! I really like it and love how you've kept it completely lore-friendly! A well done settlement and a place you should be very proud of! Thank you for this video. It's much appreciated!
I was wondering what I was going to do with hangman's alley, when this video pops up. I'm not going to copy you exactly, but you have definitely inspired me.
Hang Man Alley is a blast to build in because that first floor you place affects the entire build then I used the tips from this video to build my hangman base
I love this build!! It's so detailed and fortified! And the flooring is genius! My only fear is that this is probably a player only settlement. I can already npcs glitching through the floor if you leave and come back...
I like it a lot, the one thing I want to try to implement different is that I like an open top floor on my Hangman's Alley with the plant beds so I have settlers farming up there and I also like to put minutemen artillery at the top too. I think implementing some of what you did will definitely polish up whatever my next 1 will be, so thank you.
Dude you are so commited and good at making settlements. You would be a minecraft god 😂 one thing i always didnt like was the snapping of the structures and how getting everything leveled and aligned properly was so frustrating and time consuming. Another amazing creation. I tip my hat sir! 😊
It's stupid that, even with scrap mods, you can't open up the boarded up doors to various apartments. Like why would you live in a sheet metal and moldy plank shack instead of a damn brick building with privacy and insulation.
And who took the time after the bombs fell to board up all the buildings in the Commonwealth, only to live in squaller with debris everywhere. They sure didn't have time between the alert and the first nuclear explosion in the Commonwealth.
There's your problem. Trying to make sense of Todd's empty nonsensical head. It's frustrating. I give so much love to builders like this or my long time favourite, Skooled Zone because I don't have the patience they have for these broken games. I mod. This is a beautiful build, but it looks hair pulling frustrating to build. And, the best part is Todd never learns from his mistakes, just look at Starfield. ✌🏼
I used various mods that scrapped the walls that those doors are in. Put a new wall in with a door. Then you can build inside the building. But yes it sucks that you use the existing buildings. But if you could use the existing buildings you’d not need to build anything?
This location is a pain in the ass to build in, even with mods like Scrap Everything and Place Anywhere. Even with Scrap Everything there are items that aren't scrapable, like the wooden stairs that take you up to the elevated section, and power lines, and Deco-Kit wall fixtures and pipes. The really frustrating part is the build area itself, because even if you scrap the Deco-Kit sections , you still have to wall off everything up to the green border because there's just empty void that needs to be hidden. Then there's a lot of un-scrapable bits left in the air because the build ceiling is lower than the surrounding walls, and the pieces you scrap are three times taller than anything in the build kit, so the sections don't match with build kit sizes so you have these gaps you cannot hide or fill in. Your decision to use the Concrete build set was the best choice, because Concrete pieces are the most forgiving when it comes to collision boxes, and overcoming those collision box conflicts. I don't spend too much time or effort on Hangman's Alley, I scrap everything that is there taking up space, build a small living/sleeping area for myself and three or four settlers, build up some turrets on scaffolding to minimize melee attack damage, a farm large enough to support the settlers and water, some power for missile and laser turrets and lights, and I set up a provisioner line. Mostly Hangman's Alley is a drop-off loot and scrap my junk site before I move further into the war zone of Boston, or before I make the trip north to Concord area.
Even with mods it's a pain in the ass eh? I thought it'd be easier to scrap the rubble and what not. Tell me about it! Concrete is the way to go since it's so versitile
@@fallout4myth940 Oh, I can scrap a lot, all of the shacks, sidewalks, columns, walls, gravel and grass piles, all of the trash, and whole walls. The problem is, there are still objects that are baked into the game, the wooden stairs for example, that one piece mucks up a lot. Then there's all of the add-on bits that remain, the wall grates and piping items, some are so high up you can't reach them to scrap them, and some won't scrap at all. I found this out the hard way of course, started scrapping and building, but the off angles and that metal overhang you built a platform from (that doesn't scrap either), kept getting in the way, so I scrapped the entire Deco-kit wall. Sadly though, the build kit the devs use isn't always in room sized sections, and I deleted the whole five story wall. All those pipes and fittings and metal pieces remained behind, and some were scrapable, some were not. So, after a couple of hours trying to make it look correct, and realizing that wasn't ever going to happen, I escaped out of build mode and loaded my last save before I got there. I lost a few hours of time, but luckily no awesome Legendary weapons or stuff like that. Your build did give me some ideas though, about how to platform around the edge better than my current Alley build is, luckily I only have three people there, so I can ship them all off to Murkwater Construction Site for a few days while I re-imaging their living spaces.
@@wod5203 LOL! I've run into some of these same problems! One time I began scrapping existing walls with some mod I had installed and I was left with a very weird void with bits and pieces of the game floating around. Luckily, I had a save right before my scrapping mania and was able to go back, otherwise it would have truly been a pain to try to fix that. Or just been unfixable! Sometimes bits of the ground disappear too if I go crazy scrapping or just use console commands, and that is just too bizarre for me to leave as is! Before I try scrapping anything that seems very much a fixture of the game I always do a save. I've been burned too many times! 🙂
I love how vibrant it looks with all those plants! I'll have to make sure to add some of those to my own settlements. Are those potted plants from a mod or DLC? I don't remember seeing them in the build menu before.
✌️🤟 that's awesome dude I've got couple big settlements and had to recently delete some stuff as whenever I fast traveled it would crash had to delete few thing and no crash 🤦♂️😐🤣 wish the engine could cope with multiple big settlement builds but it isn't the case with no mods all that
I've been fortunate thst hasn't happened to me. Even with this big build here. I agree with you. Settlement build limit is so low and I don't think bethesda was prepared for settlement build to be such a big hit.
@@fallout4myth940 a mean I have used the gun bug to increase the build limit on a few settlements am sure you know the one am on about where just pick up all weapons from workstation and take them all drop them all and then store them again to increase the settlement size limit
Yeah I assumed that's what you did. Bypassing the build limit and building way above it can be risky. On the bright side you were still able to remove some stuff and make it playable. :D
@fallout4myth940 aye there is always that risk just wish without no mods could build multiple big settlements without a crash as I was well getting into building then when to have supper/Dinner git wxit save tried load up just kept crashing to had to go back to previous save delete some stuff and just ruined the building/creative mind I was in but aye am lucky managed to delete some to stop crash thankfully it's only level 50 not my level 180 save
Have a lot of weapons in your inventory, then drop them. Go on workshop mode and store those weapons. The game will think you are storing workshop assets and luring your build limit back down. I'd recommend doing this only when you really need it.
@@fallout4myth940 If you give the settlers a decent weapon and 1 round of ammo, they won't take your weapons and they annihilate anything that attacks the settlement.
I found a good farming spot to farm legendary weapons y'all know where those three feral mongrels at one of them is a legendary mongrel I been farming that same spot constantly I have weapons like two legendary rolling pins a shotgun that has a chance to make enemies go into a frenzy and body armor that turns enemies to ice if my health below 20%
Whoa! How is this even possible? I have been working on Hangman's Alley and mine looks like garbage compared your build. Now, I think I am going to have to scrap everything and start over. The problem is that I have absolutely no idea where to start. Any tips or advice for a struggling, penniless Fallout 4 novice builder?
its possible. Just takes a lot of time to do it, and a lot of concrete and steel. I made a tutorial and the link is in the pinned comment. Hopefully that helps.

I love hangman's alley. Such a vital sleep point in survival mode.
Exactly and for those reasons, it deserves some love!
I use it on survival because its almost in the middle of the map
Central location. A place to crash. A mall within walking distance.
I like to use it as three main "robot logistics hubs". Since bots reduce settlement happiness, I keep like 3-5 of them with only robots and send like half a dozen robot provisioners to them. So like Hangman's Alley goes to Jamaica Plains, the Castle, and Oberland, a bunch from Greygarden go to Taffington, Oberland, and Starlight, and then some at Red Rocket connect Sanctuary and all my satellite farms up north to the rest of the network.

Indeed. It is my main settlement.
This is the kind of settlement Gunners write terminal entries about.

The dlc stuff definitely helps! And thanks for the nice comment I appreciate it!
Amazing, I love hangman alley because it's so near to everyone, it's a very convenient place.
man that's one hell of an overhaul. looks great!@
Thank you I appreciate that!

This is excellent, and so far, the most impressive build I’ve seen. Here’s to you having more of these high quality builds 🍻 imma go look rn!

That's a neat idea. I actually saw a build kinda like that reddit some months ago. Best of luck!
You and sckooled zone really keep out doing yourselves.
:) thank you
I love this build. You are amazing. I wish fallout didn’t crash so much so I could do this and enjoy it.
Thank you I appreciate that. Yeah fallout can be buggy like that
How beautiful! Amazing vision ❤
Beautiful build. Well done!
Excellent build, the time you spent was very much appreciated!
Dude you are so commited and good at making settlements. You would be a minecraft god 😂 one thing i always didnt like was the snapping of the structures and how getting everything leveled and aligned properly was so frustrating and time consuming. Another amazing creation. I tip my hat sir! 😊
Haha yeah I've always have a knack for cresting stuff like this. Definitely takes time especially with no mods :)
This is so impressive. I want to reset my alley completely now lol
It's stupid that, even with scrap mods, you can't open up the boarded up doors to various apartments. Like why would you live in a sheet metal and moldy plank shack instead of a damn brick building with privacy and insulation.
And there's actual buildable space behind the buildings too lol.

5:22 The staircase indeed is another story
Looks good!
How do you get concrete structures? I don't have that option in my game
It's from the Wasteland dlc :)
Nice build! curious, you playing on pc or console?
Pc
@@fallout4myth940 have you ever looked at using console commands to fine tune the placement of items?
Not at all. Didn't know that was a thing. I built this on survival so I can't access console commands :(
How did you build so much but keep the build limit bar so low?
Have a lot of weapons in your inventory, then drop them. Go on workshop mode and store those weapons. The game will think you are storing workshop assets and luring your build limit back down.
I'd recommend doing this only when you really need it.
Do you have any settlers here? Due to my high charisma I struggled putting 22 sleeping bags in the are the settlers can go
I only have one doctor. I didn't want settlers grabbing my weapons and ammo
@@fallout4myth940 haha fair. I loved what you did here. Thank you for the reply!!
@@fallout4myth940 If you give the settlers a decent weapon and 1 round of ammo, they won't take your weapons and they annihilate anything that attacks the settlement.
Where can I I find concrete components to build is it a dlc
I believe it's from the Wasteland dlc
Nice I like it
I found a good farming spot to farm legendary weapons y'all know where those three feral mongrels at one of them is a legendary mongrel I been farming that same spot constantly I have weapons like two legendary rolling pins a shotgun that has a chance to make enemies go into a frenzy and body armor that turns enemies to ice if my health below 20%
Is that behind diamond city?
Nice description of the location. Got it. Now to sweep the Commonwealth for 2 regular feral dogs and 1 Legendary feral dog.
it says no mods but there is loads of structures and decorations you are using I guessing these are from the dlcs?
Dlcs, that's correct. Dlcs aren't considered mods or creation club add ons
dope build 😀😀😀
Whoa! How is this even possible?
I have been working on Hangman's Alley and mine looks like garbage compared your build.

@ARQP000 :(
💖
Why not just use console commands to remove the shack? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
console commands are disabled on survival mode
@@fallout4myth940 Ah, didn't know that. I never play survival myself. I'd hate building without console commands to remove unscrappable junk :D
That's part of the challenge:)
wtf... 😱
no mods (just cheats - like material duping)
You can see the 8hrs of unedited footage. I did material duplicate lol. I have a ton of caps to just buy shipments
I’m a dumbass for not getting the DLC.
It's never too late!
