(10:25) First siren you've built? Oh, so much fun you can have with a siren. It only sends power when active, so you can create a secondary power circuit that only activates during an attack. With a few logic gates, you can have the settlement go into "defense mode" when the siren activates: entrances close, mines are deployed, traps become active, and Minutemen signal flares fire.
Yeah, I don't use the "advanced" electronics mostly because I have the worst time figuring them out, but secondarily that type of stuff really doesn't "fit" with the kinds of scrappy stuff I build. I can barely justify missile turrets and advanced generators as it is. ;)
I loved every minute of this. The music, your wholesome chit chat, and the way you change walking speeds so smoothly it's like you're actually walking into someone's house. Thank you so much.
The second spawn point you mention at 2:45 made wince just a little. When I first got the farm, I built a large dormitory style building at that location that holds 30 beds and my vendors. I built the structure so that the front part is level with the ground and the back section because of the downward slope is supported by raised stilts. Whenever there is an attack and so far its either been gunners or raiders, 2 or 3 of them will get trapped in the maze of stilts underneath and I can easily shoot them from a distance. I installed 2 heavy turrets on the inside just in case some of them actually spawned inside. Sure enough during the next attack 4 of them spawned inside, but those 2 turrets and my 3 vendors who had laser rifles as powerful as Righteous Authority made short work of them. I also created a robot that has a gatling laser on one arm and a nuka cola quantum launcher on the other as a guard.
I love how well thought out this build is! Execution is excellent! I’m still working with a few ideas about certain aspects, which tends to lead to trial and error to figure out if I can actually get close to what think will work. Sometimes I get there… sometimes I don’t. But for the majority of the time, it comes out pretty good. I haven’t caught any of your recent vids. I’ve been having new gameplay issues, such as not being able to fast travel, so less building and more walking back and forth across the commonwealth. I’m considering uninstalling and starting fresh… really would love to not have do that… but I don’t know how to mitigate the situation.
17:27 Wow ! I get too you a tip this time. If you glitch a rug in them and under the shelf they will not fall through at least I never had anymore problems with them that is. You should try it.
Yah I had the same problem your are having until I used the rug glitch, that one of you famous builders thought us to use. I know I didn't say it rite the first time I was just excited to tell you sorry about that. I use it in all things tables, bookshelfs, beds, ect. Thank you if you taught me how to use the pillar and rug glitch cause I don't know were I would be without it.
some people think this might be cheaty, but given the terrible nature of building in this game (specifically junk fences made me do this, with all the gaps between them if you dont) if you type tcl into the command thing with ` to go into no clipping mode (you can float and stuff) any items you place or pick up and then tab so they go back will be invisible so you can place stuff inside of them, then as soon as you type tcl again to exit no clip mode yourself they go back to normal. useful for junk fences, and i also use it to stack multiple water pumps on eachother so you can get more water without having a bunch of ugly water pumps sitting around when you dont have access to a stream or something. maybe this will help you, i dont use it for anything other than aesthetic reasons but some people may not have that much self control but, anyway i thought this might interest you as you seem to enjoy building almost as much as i do.
Yes, I got first like and comment!! I have to say your builds inspire me to try things I never considered. I've even started looking at the in game builds in a more "how did they do this....ah-hah" type of view. So thank you for making these builds, you have helped me be a lot more creative.
You made another one this year? Sweet! And no, I haven't seen it; just checked and it didn't show up in my feed. Dammit youtube, wtf. :/ Will check it out for sure. :D
Sure, my husband did the editing again this year on the video too. This one is a bit longer, it's supposed to be like a mini movie. It's me searching for Dogmeat. I hope you like it. Yah, I know TH-cam seems to be getting worse with their lack of not notifying us of messages and when folks upload videos. I figured you might want to see it since you liked last years video so much. I hope all is well with you and yours :)
Anyone know if the missile turrets damage / kill settlers? Always miss the action when settlement is attacked and or didn't know my settlers well enough to know if they were M.I.A. Thanks for the videos!
Settlers can be killed by explosive turrets but it's rare. When they get close to death they do that sit-down move, and when they do enemies will immediately ignore them, but if splash damage from explosives hit them when they're down (or they're on fire when they go down), it'll kill 'em. If a settler dies during an attack, though, you'll know it since the Happiness will drop by 20 almost immediately. Takes about a game week to recover.
@@SarDeliac Sincere thank you for the info. I have been trying to figure WHY the happiness dropped so much when the spoiled, pampered twits have more than enough in every settlement, now I know why. Only been playing the game 5 some years, think I would know these things by now. Been meaning to ask you, a challenge if you will: The museum Preston and other 4 in Concord. That building, when first walking in there is a set of steps (4 or 5 steps?) to the next level. Well how to build multi 3/4 level inside a building with vanilla or mostly vanilla building parts? One can make it look fine inside, but the outside of the building, (sigh) the wall will be too short or too tall. Irritatingly, Beth has many buildings in game that have multi levels inside a building (house) that can not be duplicated by us, even with mods. Thanks so much for your videos! They are extremely helpful!
Very cool again!! (= I am impressed that you could build a few Turrets with Immersive Gameplay. I gave it up, the second i saw how much Ammo you need thihi^^ It's cool that you changed not very much, just build up what they have and in they're "Style". That makes it very believable. Especially the Bar and Connies (i am a ConnY hehe, strange to hear my Name in a Game XD) little Shop are special
Honestly the ammo's easier to get than I expected... I didn't have turrets for a really long time but by just playing and clearing locations and taking nothing but ammo it piles up suitably quick. Right now at L29 he's got something like 8k rounds of the big-turret ammo because I don't use it any more--I'm only usin .50 and fusion cells. I _love_ energy weapons in this mod. And steal away--that's what this stuff is here for. ;)
Vary Awesome settlement you have here SarDeiliac. I like what you did with your walls and defense. But I'm still a little confused on how you know were there spawn point are ? Can't wait too see what comes next. Take care SarDeiliac and have a Happy Turkey day
Thanks! There's a mod called Settlement Management Software that'll mark 'em for you if you're on XB1 or PC, but if you're on PS4 Oxhorn's got a compilation of all of them: th-cam.com/video/BF0fMcYBD9A/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, I looked at 'em a while back, and they're really cool if you don't wanna fuss with decorating and don't mind your stuff kinda lookin like everyone else's. I kinda enjoy decorating now (didn't use to, for sure) and it's more interesting to me to be able to "personalize" a settlement... even though I tend to pick the same things over and over haha :/
Haven't played much FO4 at all recently, and never got around to implementing the whole feeder/depot settlement thing - in fact I forgot the rationale behind it ;) I checked your playlists but can't find the vid where you break it down. Do you remember off the top of your head? I seem to have managed ok in survival without it, but if I'm gonna try this mod it could probably help to be aware of.
The strategy is straightforward: settlements with zero population never get attacked. I put all the crap I scav in zero-pop workbenches to ensure I will never lose anything valuable. If a feeder gets attacked and fails I don't lose anything I care about, and by transferring the workbench contents from the feeders to the depots from time to time, I'll always have a huge supply of food and water that I'll never lose. The full rationale is in S&S 16 (with maps!) and it starts here: th-cam.com/video/mcb7ovwq5hQ/w-d-xo.html
So Sar the different of this mod in survival is wall and clever placement of guard and turret actually mean some thing ?? It a direct opposite of the Base game nice
It means more than it does in the base game, yeah, especially when you go to help defend an attack yourself, but that's partly a small change in the AI and mostly the fact that enemies bring overwhelming numbers to the party. It's one thing to have a couple missile turrets chop down maybe a dozen attackers with raggedy gear, but when you triple the number of attackers and give them top-notch weapons and armor, things get a bit more... interesting.
Like survival, it's brutal until you get a feel for how things work, and even now I have to be _way_ more cautious pretty much all the time, but once you get used to it (and get your Perception up to the point where your VATS percentages are nice and high) it's not bad at all. I've only died twice in the last three days, and both times it was due to a mistake I made--once I forgot to check for mines, and the other time I got overly ambitious in Hallucigen and an Assaultron decided to make an example of me. :P
Question for you concerning the immersion mod ; where do you get your purified water? Strickly from empty bottles and a water pump or does your settlement produces some? Even though i have 36 water and 10 settlers at sancturary, im not getting any purified water in my workshop. Thnx again!
I get them from the pumps; every 3-water pump dumps 18 purified in the workbench every day. Haven't had a problem yet with water generation. Check to make sure you don't have any dirty water in the workbench; that can block production, and the mod doesn't use dirty water for anything I've seen yet.
Around the holidays the update pace always slows... just the nature of RL, y'know? Also, when I find a new way to play I tend to sit and do that exclusively so it can be tough to get back to S&S sometimes haha :/
No, it's doable in the base game. To keep guards from moving around, only give them one station. They'll self-assign to up to three of them if there are extras around, and they'll wander around if they do... but if you have one guard per station, they'll never move. It's how I keep new settlers in one place when I'm building--when the beacon summons a new one, I build a guard station and assign 'em to it so when I want to put them on something else later, I don't have to chase them around. ;)
Yes, I give them the heaviest armor and biggest guns I can find so it takes longer to knock them down in combat. And since they're NPCs, they have the NPC damage multiplier in survival. Even a handful of settlers with miniguns can wreck stuff in a hurry, as long as they ain't fightin 30 raiders at once, anyway. My favorite armor is Sturdy Combat Armor. It's got the best balance for me in terms of protection vs. weight.
SarDeliac same here! I use sturdy combat armor since I don't have a full set of heavy.I give my guards the regular combat armor because I don't have any mods like the immersive mod. I play Vanilla fallout 4. Sometimes I wish I have mods so I can build these awesome settlements like you though. Keep up the good work sar!
Other than some of the trim pieces (sandbags, ammo boxes), this is pretty much vanilla, DM. Virtually everything you see here, you have, and I don't use Place Anywhere or stuff like that. And thanks! :)
You should be able to get the locket anyway out of the toolbox in Olivia... pretty sure it always spawns no matter what, and you can always talk to Blake once you've gotten it. :)
(10:25) First siren you've built? Oh, so much fun you can have with a siren. It only sends power when active, so you can create a secondary power circuit that only activates during an attack. With a few logic gates, you can have the settlement go into "defense mode" when the siren activates: entrances close, mines are deployed, traps become active, and Minutemen signal flares fire.
Lord Runolfr Ulfsson logic gates look scary lol I haven't even tried messing with them. I want to learn though.
Yeah, I don't use the "advanced" electronics mostly because I have the worst time figuring them out, but secondarily that type of stuff really doesn't "fit" with the kinds of scrappy stuff I build. I can barely justify missile turrets and advanced generators as it is. ;)
@Gracious Quarshie There's one at th-cam.com/video/RZcIXnmmXoI/w-d-xo.html

Your builds never fail to give me ideas to play with and see what I can do with them.
6:40 I agree, that helps me build a complete settlement as well. Very well thought out. Great job as always.
Thanks loco. :) More to come from this mod... I'm having way too much fun with it. More than I thought I would for sure.
This has to be my favorite settlement build ever!
On my first play through I killed all of them in there sleep
I love how well thought out this build is! Execution is excellent!

Welcome aboard the crazy train. ;)
Nice homely build, great job
Thank you! :)
Instant sub when I saw you currently post buildings videos!!!
Thanks! I stream every Sunday for about three hours startin at noon Central time; feel free to stop by. ;)
Love your videos man you give me a lot of inspiration for my builds:)
Thank you! Glad you're enjoyin 'em and they're useful. :)
Watching this I realise I’ve been placing my turrets backwards this whole time. No wonder they don’t hit anything 🤦♀️
Turrets spin 360 degrees to shoot, so it doesn't really matter that much which way they're facing originally other than aesthetics. :)
Hahaha class
some people think this might be cheaty, but given the terrible nature of building in this game (specifically junk fences made me do this, with all the gaps between them if you dont) if you type tcl into the command thing with ` to go into no clipping mode (you can float and stuff) any items you place or pick up and then tab so they go back will be invisible so you can place stuff inside of them, then as soon as you type tcl again to exit no clip mode yourself they go back to normal. useful for junk fences, and i also use it to stack multiple water pumps on eachother so you can get more water without having a bunch of ugly water pumps sitting around when you dont have access to a stream or something. maybe this will help you, i dont use it for anything other than aesthetic reasons but some people may not have that much self control but, anyway i thought this might interest you as you seem to enjoy building almost as much as i do.
Not cheaty at all--if the tools are there, they're there to be used. I'm on XB1 so I don't have access to the console, though. ;)
A little haven of hope
That was great. Now I want to start playing F4 again. Thank you 🧐
Me only put all the turrets on the roof and set a flying assaultron as a guard xD
Yes, I got first like and comment!! I have to say your builds inspire me to try things I never considered. I've even started looking at the in game builds in a more "how did they do this....ah-hah" type of view. So thank you for making these builds, you have helped me be a lot more creative.
Well, second comment is good too.....lol
Thanks! Glad this stuff is useful and it's giving you ideas... that's what it's all about. ;)
Another very nice settlement! 👍👌
Thank you! :)
Like what u done to Abernathy farm I might go with this idea great job man keep up the good work keep building awsome settlements
Thanks! Glad to hear it's giving you some ideas. :)
U do a great job on your settlements
Great work
Lookin' good, I'm building at Abernathy right now myself. :)
Thanks Denise. And oh ho, re-he-heally... whatcha makin? ;)
Oh, just a basic settlement. I reinforced the original house, it looks pretty cool. Did you see my haunted house video yet?
You made another one this year? Sweet! And no, I haven't seen it; just checked and it didn't show up in my feed. Dammit youtube, wtf. :/ Will check it out for sure. :D

I just send one settler from each town to the castle

Have u thought of using other decoration mods? Do it your shelf comes to mind as one that could b particularly useful

How do you get your walls so creative and seemless? I’m just starting out and I struggle with making mine not look like a blocky mess

Funny you should say that... ;)
Okay I got a question, is there anyway to build the land so to make crops? I've been looking for a mod to replicate it but not found anything yet.
I... don't understand what you're asking here? You can plant crops anywhere there's dirt, and Abernathy has a lot of dirt.
I've been thinking about trying this mod out for PS4... but I'm kinda scared to try it if its as brutal as everyone says it is.

How can I make my guards stay at their defender posts? Is it apart of the immersive gameplay mod?
No, it's doable in the base game. To keep guards from moving around, only give them one station. They'll self-assign to up to three of them if there are extras around, and they'll wander around if they do... but if you have one guard per station, they'll never move.

Yes, I give them the heaviest armor and biggest guns I can find so it takes longer to knock them down in combat. And since they're NPCs, they have the NPC damage multiplier in survival.

I made fun of their daughter or something and they won’t let me settle their. *I wasn’t reading the text while I was doing their mission 😢
Well if you want the settlement for yourself I think you could just kill them and take if for yourself :D
You should be able to get the locket anyway out of the toolbox in Olivia... pretty sure it always spawns no matter what, and you can always talk to Blake once you've gotten it. :)
That's one bad thing about a lot of the mods available for FO4 today: they crap all over immersion.
