FALLOUT 4: New CONTRAPTIONS WORKSHOP DLC New Items Overview! (Fireworks, Ball Tracks, and Elevators)

- Hey guys, I’m super excited to bring you my first Contraptions Workshop DLC video! And for this first video I thought it would make sense to do a basic overview of every new item in the DLC. This’ll give those of you still wondering if you should buy the DLC a good idea of what you’re paying for. On the other hand, if you’ve already got Contraptions Workshop in the Season Pass, I hope this video provides a basic rundown of how each new item works. Before we begin, I realize this video is a lot longer than my regular content, so I’ve left time stamps in the description below. If you’re looking for something specific, like Machinery and Conveyor Belts towards the end of the video, check the description, click on that time stamp and it will bring you to whatever you’re looking for! So let’s hop into Starlight Drive-In and start building! Enjoy!

Reading the comment section on all these DLC showcase videos, it's become apparent that people absolutely hate the settlement aspect of FO4. Well, I may be in the minority but I happen to love building settlements.
Suave Chiang I hate settlements, lol. We'd probably be enemies in a war lol.
I find the workshop dlc’s a lot but some things are kinda weird to use and he did a sorta shit job of explaining
I also enjoy building settlements
It's not that everyone hates them it's that it has alot of potential that is just wasted and things that should already be in the game you have to pay to get in a dlc
I also love settlement building
Why is everyone bitching about the price? I thinks it's awsome. You get all of this stuff to add to your settlments for 5 bucks. 5 BUCKS PEOPLE. You can make museums, factories, better armories, and so much more!
Predat0r3 and it's good if you can't find a certain type of ammo you can just craft it
I bought all of the dlcs and personally I'd say all of them are worth the money
If only back then they knew about $20 skins today
@@Sgt_Kane yep and I bet they still buy it they might be older but they still nerds 😂
"Don't get crazy, you can't build a fatman"
First heavy weapon option is fatman.
deepdownfear I smell lies
You're amazed that it's only 5 bucks. I'm amazed that this stuff wasn't included in the base game that I paid $60 dollars for.
I can feel a recreation of the Pitt in my starlight drive in
Am i the only one who wants to make a rollercoaster out of the conveyer belts
Hell no
Now I want to
well i made one for raiders and their dead bodies, but i don't think it would be that exiting for a player, unless you used it to move around your settlement, while shooting attackers.
also you would need the upward conveyer ramp mod.
17:27 I use my balls to power machines all the time. XD
lol
Lol
Thanks for using your time to put this out. I know, I know, I’m really late to fallout but my disc broke 5 years ago and I never thought of buying the game again and guess what! You made me buy fallout 4 again so thanks.
I've just finished saving up for an xbox 1, my first ever non-Nintendo gaming console specifically so I can play Fallout 4, and this is really convincing me that dropping a couple hundred dollars on a used console isn't a mistake! Thank you very much for the video!
If you use the firework launcher in Far harbor and launch a clear weather round it will make nice clear blue sky for awhile over the settlement you where you launched it. Adds a whole new look to the settlements in Far Harbor. Also it's nice to use when you are building and it's raining or radiation storm you can make it a nice clear weather.
oh dang a 40 min long vid with no adverts yay :D
I discovered that Elevators and elevator conveyors are based on a 10' or 12' height system and not the normal 8' wall system. To assist in design of your structures always start with the warehouse structural parts before using concrete or wood. This manufacturing system does take getting used to but once you mastered it you are going to love it.
I only downloaded the contraptions dlc for the weapon racks and scaffolding...
"Just turn the crank, and snap the plank, and boot the marble right down the chute, now watch it roll and hit the pole, and knock the ball in the rub-a-dub tub, which hits the man into the pan. The trap is set, here comes the net! Mouse trap, I guarantee, it's the craziest trap you'll ever see."
"If you wanna use your balls to power some sort of machine..."
Excellent video! I love the fact that we can finally craft ammunition now.
It would be awesome if settlers could pick up weapons from those gun racks when the settlement is been raided. And if they even would return that firearm afterwards.
nice video. my phone froze at "if you have a lot of balls comin*freeze*" I laughed so hard. then reloaded it. 😂
Gr8, this will help me out! Thanks JV
Very nice video, I learned a lot of stuff I didn't even realized, thanks....
You can go into the junk mortar and fly. It's awesome!
Nice vid man. I think this is one of the longest videos I have watched in a long time. 👍
Besides the obvious for the manufacturing machines, being just the fun factor, it would be good if they served a legitimate function for your settlements. By that I mean, as an example, the food processor could be used to produce better food items for your settlers. They are assigned to farms, to which they then bring the raw materials to the processor and produce the food items you see listed, & then consume them at their leisure, which in turn increases their happiness. The same goes for other practical necessities like armour and weapons. Basically you set these machines up & your settlers fend for themselves within the confines of your settlement.
One thing to note is that the scafolding is slightly smaller than other types of structure. I suspect this is so you can snap walls from other types to it but I have not tested this.
Mix Scafolding with Junk Fences and you got yourself a pretty good way of making defenses.
We need a way to refill fusion cores, with hydrogen or a way to make new ones because lore wise 62 days after the start of fo4 all fusion cores will run out of hydrogen and go cold
Watching that shoddycast I see
of course
Can you just put them in the fusion reactor from wasteland workshop? I thought that's how i lt worked.
no thats a fusion generator it creates 100 power
Good watch, felt it kinda annoying to hear him spam out all that calculation chatter 2x speed though.
Great stuff. I love this game! Great video.
Glad you enjoyed! :)
@@jayveeeee 8 years later? Wow 🤩
Still yet to work out the actual point of the ball-trap devices, other than eating up my hard scavved supplies!
Are you on xbox or ps4
Yeah, pointless. And the logic gates. Do they aid you in any way in fighting off raiders and securing your settlements?
Target toggles should also be nice if you want to start up some kind of system from a distance. Just shoot the toggle.
I got it and was a bit underwhelmed with it, but I had just used a couple of the bits included with it. After seeing the amount of stuff here in this video I now think of a couple things fort sanctuary could use!
ONG THIS HELPED ME A LOT!!!
The conduits should let you run power along ceilings or walls, so you don't have to run wires all over the place.
They doooo… just Wi-Fi dem Biscuits
This update is exactly what I was hoping for. I really wanted craftable ammo. I'm gonna turn that huge island off the coast into a massive ammo factory.
Spectacle island? I built a factory for supplies for my minutemen play thru
I'm loving this dlc so far, the only complaint I have is the size of the elevators. if you want to build an interior elevator you have to use warehouse walls becuse shack and metal walls are too short
You can use the elevators size to make evenly spaced tree house sections
Cuz theres a 3 foot gap between the floors
My favorite new item is the garage door. I've wanted one for such a long time!
That small green house that you build actually gave me a idea
thanks
Wow 5 bucks for all that is worth it, this a must have! You make really good videos on fallout 4 keep it up!
The only people complaining about this dlc are people who either have no money because they're children, or... i don't know who else would complain about such a minute amount of money.
I'm a child and I bought it and it's good idk why their complaing they don't have to buy it
I'll tell you why ...because even tho I bought the season pass for $30 I feel like BETHESDA could have done better like logic gates ??? Are u fcking kidding me ??? This isn't my engeniering class this is a fcking game ...a good game which makes it all the worse they would give us such a sht DLC
+Alex - Lender Man Minecraft-esque?
chaseg59 Yes. Minor settlement building things is what i meant.
I wouldn't have bought it if I were buying these separately, but I got the season pass. So I downloaded it and will probably use at least some of it. Haters got to hate.
I'm going to do a factory build at starlight. Love your videos always my man.
It looks way better than I was thinking it was going to be, Will be fun to use when mods come to PS4 since I am low on materials to build with.
Did you know you can scrap those barrels and make the pool not radioactive? I noticed you were taking massive rad hits every time you walked by it.
dlc that your wife / husband is alive and she /he plants revenge against you for losing shaun attacking the minutemen your settlements with vault tec technology which would bring new guns new clothes a new vault with little side quest that your wife / husband found and took over you would also find a new champion the ending would tie to how she or he sees things if you didn't side with institute and destroyed them she or he will support you and would help convince shaun or she or he would be with the institute which would end up you having to kill them
+ViralVidyo Gaming than fuck off you peace of garbage ! little fucking troll you belong in the garbage
Tanner Gibson you did get out little punk
There's a problem with that though. First: Its a bad plot, I'm sorry but it's true. Second: Why would she/he do all that and try to kill you? You do realize they loved each other? I think the rest of the mistakes are obvious tho
nice job good video lots of info thx
Just gotta say..JV2017....thanks for your fallout 4 stuff. keep them coming!! It really helps with the game, you are the "number one Hub" (grins) for all FALLOUT 4 stuff. ..
There are 2 new power paints from this DLC, abraxo and sugar bombs
YES! YES TODD YES! IVE BEEN WANTING AUTOMATED GARAGE DOORS IN MY SETTLEMENT SO MUCH!
I feel it necessary to say that you can indeed create combat armor, even sturdy and perhaps even heavy, by having a high enough armorer skill. The same goes with weapon forges. You cannot create plasma weapons in a forge until you have science level 3, for example. Ammunition works the same, and I'm assuming explosives works the same as well.
Paintball gun and the other new gun operate the targets. Fireworks can change the weather. You can manufacturer ammunition!
The logic gates are for building computers.
You can also use scaffolding to make certain buildings and roofs accessible in some areas.
I'm going to make donkey kong in fallout with the scaffolding
+DiamondCity SecurityGuard good idea
+DiamondCity SecurityGuard No i'm not the trader from Quincy get your ointment somewhere else (If you don't get that reference you never talk to diamond city security how rude of you)
I get it lmfao
Donkey Kong? Don't you mean Red Menace? >;3
All this new stuff will get very nicely with the vault dlc.
The Ball Drop contraption somehow reminds me of a Rollercoaster. Maybe Bethesda wants us to practice building them in case we get to build Coasters in Nuka World DLC. We already have the Fireworks and Marquis objects to build in theme parks. Interesting stuff. Thanks for the videos!
no coasters sadly :(
Thanks jv, im buying this.
love some of this stuff like the weapon racks and warehouse prefabs but if i really want to do more tinkering than tinkering tom id buy those science wiz buildng kits in a box that you'd use to try to win the science fair at school😂😂
they really took building and crafting to a new level
the powered counter isn't new. there is no + on it.
true
I'll be honest dude, I like the workship dlc, I just wish there was just a little story to em (not like a campaign, but something) like maybe the 1st one was to provide entertainment and fortifications for stable settlements for the minutemen or this one would be about starting your own caravan to provide quality items to settlements and beyond.
it would be cool if they added a Scrapper, something that breaks down the items into their base components
Thanks for the vid
I enjoy using the scaffolding to build defense towers. Just place half a dozen heavy guns up there and have fun watching super mutant attacks.
Everyone's complaining about the cost of the dlc, and I'm just here like 'FUDGE YEA, GREENHOUSES!!'
there green houses
I was more along the lines of "Yes! Finally displays!"
I was more like "YEAH I CAN MAKE PRESTON SUFFER"
Ryaquaza 1 I payed $30 for all the dlcs and the base game
XD
i'm really liking this dlc you even get two new power armor paint jobs out of the deal which is every nice. well worth my five dollars.
Wait what? When did this happen? Is this actually true?
as far as I know its right never saw them there before there is two new T51 paint jobs one is abraxo cleaner & the other is sugar bombs
soooooo nobody can have an opinion? everyone has to be F Bethesda? i'm sorry but that's not how the world works everyone has a different opinion & not everyone will agree & its really pointless to throw out insults it wastes my time & yours.
really? I have to go heck that out later#
check* later!*
You probably know this, but you can salvage the barrels in the little pond at Starlight, which will remove all the radioactive material. I intend on watching the whole video, it is bugging the bejeezus out of me watching your geiger counter hit +8 and +10 when there shouldn't be any radioactivity at all.
Nice vid! Only it would be nice if you would look into the dlc better next time
Pitching machines need the same signage they put on Claymore Mines - "Front, towards enemy"
The only dlc I consider that still ages well.
A bathtub works like a great container for the stuff you make. I was practical and made a bunch of ammo of the type I use (.45). I was disappointed that the food machine can't make Dandy Apples or Bubblegum (which are both rare and components of the special types of Vim).
might be one of the most useful thing. have the factory make a bunch of steel balls. goes down a track, counter makes it switch to another track, end up filling a bunch of junk mortar, then shoot to defend your settlement. odds are by having different trip lines firing certain junk mortars. would be a lot less effective than turrets but if they want us to make Rube Goldberg machines they don't want us to be efficient. ha ha
For the display cases, you dont need a direct wire, just a conduit or pylon :)
Wasn't gonna get this but now I am
He said
"Not like we can make combat armor"
Well you can
If ur studying IT,CS,MEngineering,CEngineering. you will probably know what the logic Gates are for
the symbols are just on and off or 1 and 0 or + and -
The symbols are the function of the gate on an electrical diagram and represent different transistor types. Might be a good way to learn basic electrical engineering.
Azusa Saphire its simply on and off
Yes if you only have one input of on or off it will just be on and off, but, it's more complex than that. attach a 3 way conduit to it and things start to get interesting. On an "OR" gate so long as one input has power the output will be "ON", and on an "AND" gate so long as both inputs have power the output will be "ON". the rest are more complicated than that (ex: "XNOR" outputting only when both are "ON" or "OFF"). I would explain it in more detail but, then I would be here all day, Just know that gates are the basic foundation of all computing devices (hell with enough space you could replicate the function of a processor core in game).
I will enjoy the garage doors, because that's exactly what I thought I could have used for my death claws entry way into the arena I built
and elevators would be nice, man I feel like with this I can make my already nice looking settlement look ten times better than it already is with concrete stuff
does this come out with the season pass?
No
Thanks JV! :-)
+JV2017gameplay is this dlc worth it I might buy I just want your opinion
+SuperFunTimeKid yes. Worth it
+The Joker ok
wooo a not gate.... my doors have needed one of these :) gonna abuse that metal door also. :D
Great video
Close your eyes and listen 15:58
hint: you dont put the hinges in the middle of a two door opening. they go on the wall.
Shingles are wooden tablets used for roofing. Nothing to do with walls. The word you're looking for is corrugated metal.
You can use the pitching machine with any junk item
Broken steel esque DLC were you either 1. Return to the Capital Wasteland
2. Find out you are a valuable synth constructed from Father's DNA and made believe you were once in Vault 111
3. Enclave Aircraft Carrier arrives in the Commonwealth
Scaffolding tower could be used as a sniper tower with a guard tower on top
Great idea..looks great, how do you get the junk out off the workshop so you can use it to make things. if you have to manually put individual items into each build machine .. why bother.. ?
Dislike the comment if you will, as it is only my opinion. I feel like I just spent ~20 minutes (skipping ahead a bit) watching someone talking without actually saying anything. A few things were placed on the ground and then a few more but nothing was really said. I personally think that more preparation may have been a benefit as it seemed like all you really did was read the in game descriptions and plunk stuff on the floor. Thank you for the video none the less, as it gave me a basic idea of what to expect from this DLC.
(edited to correct a typo :o )
You could have mentioned that elevators work with barn or warehouse floors not regular ones i.e. concrete or wood . Would have been nice for my 8 level high concrete twin towers but no. Also box cars snap unto other things than just box cars . And I encountered difficulties snapping 4 floor elevators to floors,no problems with 2/3 level ones. Playing on PS4 btw,resulting in having problems with the amount of steel needed,concrete is easy to buy but steel not so much,scrapping tons of guns. Plus side keeps my building cap down.
hopefully the elevator will make it easy to build up in Hangmans alley.
There's new power armor paint. It's sugar bomb and abraxo paints for T-51
I'm on ps4. I have the G.O.T.Y edition. Awesome game!!! I love your videos, I'm your #1 fan!!!
JV you missed the 2 new items in under defence-traps the paintball gun and the pop gun also the pillary under resources-misc
The power counter has been in the game, I thought it was new at first too because of it's placement next to the new items.
Hey JV, is there any way to break down junk into its components with this DLC? I always break down my junk which takes some time and adds up over time and was wondering if I could just offload it into a hopper and eventually have the components in a chest of something at the end of the line? Thanks!
i have a question , i see some settlements with shelves with books , weapons and food cantines which you can build.
but do settlers make use of items which you drop on a shelve or in this dlc you can create food but Does settlers eat that food?? thats my question because otherwise its useless to make settlements with lot of stuf on a table etc...
Would've been awesome if we could manufacture screws with the new machinery, that would've helped so much :(
Only problem is that I really want to build so much but my size keeps running out, most mods for "unlimited size" don't work and the glitch to increase the size is tedious.. I guess I'm just being a complaining brat but I really like this
in defence then traps there is two new items two new power rifles one shoots bullets the other is a paint ball gun
What armorer perk you have decides what armor you can craft in the forge. I belive you need armorer 4 for heavy combat armor.
I would love to see them make like switch gate things for the ball tracks that, when powered, it would activate kind of a boost for the ball so you can build the tracks up as well and also kind of tweak the physics or maybe make the tracks more circular and slightly bigger. I play on xbox though so this won't happen for me 😭
I really want to see how the new conduits can be used - like just an example of how they're more useful than wires. Honestly they look like a trip hazard to me... XD
Also, those left/right branch conveyor belts...I'm not really sure when or how you would use one? If you mounted the laser trip mine on the conveyor would it be able to detect different objects and divert them? Would I need to keep resetting it?
I think JV has a fear of mannequins. Lots of stuff in this DLC.
ITS awesome just like this video
