I just realized that I was sitting here with my eyes bugged out and my mouth hanging open while watching this video. I've worked at construction for a good number of years of my life. Remodeling, building, having to figure out to make something work, making old homes look new again. I loved doing this type of work. Unfortunately, I am half crippled today due to this type of work, but I can always appreciate the amount of time, effort, knowhow, etc. in order to get a good job done. I know that this is just a video game, but I get the same feeling of accomplishment that I always felt once the job was finished. It certainly appears that you've done quite a lot of work here, great job ! I think that my favorite settlement make over is the outdoor movie theater (I forget the name) Also you did a great job on some of the homes as well. I think that my favorite house make overs are in the town of Good neighbor (not certain of the name here either, or the characters either, senior moments I think) And sincerely, This stuff is just fascinating. As usual... Awesome work brother !
Skooled Zone has some good no mods settlement builds that actually look "realistic" and by that i mean he makes it look like structures can be supported logically, unlike Oxhorn who has the most ugly and unrealistic settlements. Haha oxhorns guard towers are floating on platforms with tiny little steps leading up and his light placement is so janky worst fallout 4 builder nothing he does ever looks good
you have the patience of a saint, jeez I would have given up on that attic haha. Love the settlement, if the apocalypse does happen, I know where i am moving too.
The level of detail and amount of effort you've put in here is impressive. After viewing I've decided to scrap everything and just make a simple new structure to house all the beds and amenities where the loaded logging truck was. Following your advice I will concentrate missile and laser turrets facing the only spawn point. I couldn't believe how many bad guys spawned when I first visited this settlement to start the build. There was even a giant hermit crab. Thankfully I brought my trusty instigating four shot homing missile launcher and made short work of the encroaching threat. Thanks again Oxhorn
build a mortar in a settlement you control and craft Clear Sky firework at a chem station. Power the mortar and drop the firework into it from your menu. Far Harbor's weather is scripted to be bad so they don't extend as far or for as long as the mainland. PS Not the junk mortar, the firework firer one.
on a ps4 and using the 'scrap that settlement' mod I was able to go and scrap the boarded up door on the first building inside the Echo Lake lumber yard and it turns out to be a completely whole usable building except for one small corner that's outside the buildable area. I was even able to add a door and I now use that as the settlement bedroom area. you are great oxhorn and thanks for taking the time to show us all this stuff
I noticed the same thing about Gracie! Duke enters the doghouse, Mishka sometimes does for a few minutes before exiting, but Gracie never did, for me. It eventually occurred that maybe she is too big for the average sized dog house, so I crafted one from CVC that was bigger and more open. She had plenty of space, but still refused. Odd! Regarding the beds being out in the open, I never knew you got a penalty for that. I assumed it was much like settlers not being affected by the heat output of things like fire barrels. Still, I always felt poorly about leaving their beds exposed to the elements so I always made sure they were enclosed, anyway. Didn't know you could loot fog, either! Lastly, the conveyor belt table was really clever! Another amazing build, Ox, my favorite thus far besides Vault 88 and your Hangman's Alley version II - keep it up!
Before fallout 4 came out i thought youd be able to become a goul like vampirism in skyrim. Betheda should come out with a goul dlc where it changes your characters to a goul version oof your preset characters
your assumptions of the conveyor system was backward... it would be where they pull the logs out of the water and feed to the saw mill. Love the fallout 4 videos. your lore videos contributed heavily to my love of the game. thank you.
Been in a creative mood, and I'm making my Echo Lake Lumber Mill a sort of "embassy" for the Commonwealth under the Minutemen (having defeated the Institute). Heck, every one of my Far Harbor settlements are my Minutemen base camps, being used to help keep the peace between the Synths, Children of Atom, and Far Harbor.
I got pissed and just scrapped the entire house with the scrap everything mod lmao. That mod is a blessing. I tried to re-build the second half floor but I got too confused. I plan on bringing up the foundations for the little half ground floor to match the original and have one giant common room.
@@literallyjustanioguard6527 Real life. Bar Harbor is on the coast of Maine, USA. I only know because while in the Navy I was stationed near there in 1969.
Oxhorn your Settlements are amazing and so creative. Thank you so much for the ideas. Really also love your knowledge of lore and your lore videos are out of the game "world". :) That bug thing you call a trogoliyte (sorry for my bad spelling) is a mirelurk hatchling. Those annoying little suckers that come at you all at once. My friend suggested I use Molotov cocktails on them. Works well. Just started playing this game few months ago. Love it. Thank you.
I think that you keep the right balance in ur settlements when keeping original items and placing new items. As I have noticed in a lot of your places I have kept the same items too. Where things seem logical or aesthetically pleasing to the eye our minds are alike. :)
Oxhorn, a little trick to get rid of that decal in your dining area is to scrap the floor piece then put another one down. Not sure if anybody already told you that.
This was interesting, I build for strength. I have Beast cages in a chain going from crops to herbivories to carnivores up to death claws. I didn't know that there was only one spawn point so I fortified it so much that my defense is in the 200s. the one thing I'm proud of is my pack of 20 dogs. Thanks for the patching ideas, I've been looking for a way to redo it. If only ps4 had a decent hope for mods...
Two things I hate about that location, 1 is the building along the road being boarded up making a wall instead of a building and the shops not being inside the settlement.
Although im like 3-4 years late I just got the dlc and it annoys me so much that those shops are not in it but things like the bleachers are. Also i agree that not being able to destroy or use the house sucks
This is old, but if you have scrap everything, you can scrap the door board and access the inside of that building, and it’s fully rendered. In my game, I use it for bathrooms.
@@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333 I modded the location in the CK, fixed the building along the road so it isn't boarded up, extended the build area all the way past the shops and the building behind them almost to the road, and fixed that boarded up building as well so it has an interior.
Hey people watching in 2020! There's a mod on PS4 called the "Scrap anything" mod that allows you to scrap ALL dirt piles, leaves, etc. It makes your settlements look 1000x cleaner. Also it lets you scrap that hideous cabin and stone walls from Tenpines bluff, making the settlement usable!
I did something similar but with concrete (except for filling the floors in I used wood). For the top I just capped it with the concrete at the roof. This gave me some flat area up there to put windmills on so it worked out well. This barn approach is nice though. For the wall on the third floor I just built out on the concrete structure i made more and more until I filled all the open spots. Also I am on PS4 with no mods so what I accomplished I was pretty proud of.
Oxhorn. Marvelous build. I was looking for some lore info on this location in Far Harbor. The terminal on the desk that comes with the settlement actually has a playable tape in it. There is a message about someone complaining about being spotted coming across the log roll at 5 in the morning. If they want the profits to keep rolling in they need to put a stop to the nosy snoop. I went across the log roll but all I found were some mirelurks. I was hoping that you were better at finding what the tape was referencing.
I know this is late as hell, but there were some new chems in Far Harbor that boosted you based on your rad level. The more rads you had, the more buffs they gave
The logs in your activity area are log cutting challenges it’s like a public event people go to see it’s also why there is a log rolling over by the swampy area
i'm a big fan of your channel you put so much work into your videoes and it amazing how much patient you made this video 53 minutes witch means you probably used alot of time and the video is so well explained if think its so great we have real great content creator on this site :) keep up the good work and i really mean it! ;)))
When using the markfordelete command first use disable. If the right thing disappears then use markfordelete. If something else disappears use enable. Doing it that way you delete the item which keeps the save from bloating but it also removes the item without having to fast travel.
So those floating logs towards end of video you were chatting about the ones in a line across the water.. @ 45 min time stamp. Lead to an underground bunker that's extremely well hidden right under a fallen tree out there. Very nice build for what you were working with.
Having 17 bars just makes things look bad imo. Like a marketplace makes a settlement look amazing and efficient and I know a lot of bars gives you a 100 happiness but I just feel that looks > happiness lol
@ 9:57 I got around this by using conduit and the wall passthrough with the conduit. Once I got it in the room, I used the power radiator conduit ends to get power where I needed it. After I placed the beds and tables the conduit is covered so well it's hard to see, unless you're looking for it.
I've decided to make it one huge COA settlement (seeing as it's right next to Atom's Spring). Possibly as a way to help people realise that with "Tektus' new way of doing things that has nothing to do with DiMA in the slightest", the Children of Atom can be trusted. The main building has transformed into a Visitor Centre to educate the citizens of the island about Atom. If you're needing a snack, you can stop by the Atom's Spring Cafe (next to the river). I'm still wondering about other buildings. Also, the Fog and atmosphere is probably my least favourite part of Fah Hahbah. Nothing ever looks pleasant (Except for interiors and the outside of Acadia) and you can never see clearly.
That's the reason I don't play in Far Harbor. I can't see anything. I did an initial runaround in about 4 trips and haven't been back. Likewise in Nuka World. I have troubles playing an evil character. My mind is too lazy or something to think along the devious pathways. LOL
Since there are still people playing FO4 as well as a lot of new players, I'll just throw out a tip regarding spotlights, and more specifically spotlights stopping their function when you leave the settlement. If you wire them separately to a couple of interval switches, each connected to a terminal, and then set the "on" functions of the spotlights to a different time (max & close to max), and the "OFF" times to 1 second, then the spotlights will remain on and working all the time, with just a one-second stoppage that will occur randomly. In short, they will always be on if you wire it up right and set their timers correctly.
You’re amazing Ox.. others have said it but you really give me inspiration.. all my settlements get better as I move on. I haven’t used mods yet but I’m going to add some I think.. I’m a builder/restorer in real life( projects from the boss.. err I mean wife) I truly believe our characters would sit talking for hours having a beer/ or other adult libations.. your story telling about all you do is fascinating.. great job..
You know I have a challenge for you Oxhorn! Take a settlement, your choice which, and try to modify and improve it, basically what you did for this, without any mods! There are a few rules to this though. Rule 1: Is of course no mods or console commands, you can only use what the game gives you naturally. Rule 2: Hangman's Ally is excluded because of it's size and difficulty to settle. Rule 3: If you succeed then you have to make a video explaining it just like any of your other settlement videos. Other then that you have free reign to due what you please. By the way two requests can you do a video about the quest that get's you the Mill as a settlement an a character profile on Piper?
I would have like the settlement more if 2 things were different that shack with signs wasn't un openable and a waste of space and if I could use the festival area...
I think you should use the two containers that you didn't scrap by your docks as backdrops for two of your bars from your food court. It will help your FPS by focusing several of your settlers in your dock/lounge area. There will always be people hanging out on your docks.
@ around 19:50 ish you were saying how you marked for delete those piles of garbage but as a player on ps4 when I deleted the furniture in that room (instead of trying to store it) the trash that it was with disappeared as well, interesting video, thanks for sharing this I really like your settlement build!
I love these video's, its made me re-think how I build. I was so lazy until I started watching these videos, now I put more effort into my settlements and its time well spent. Thanks Ox Moooooo!
Due to the atmosphere of fallout harbor, ive decided to make a castle there, I'm still not using mods so its taking forever because concrete and cement are hard to come by, I'm a huge Dracula fan so this was the perfect setting muahahaha.
watching at the end when your having issues with lights in the market area, I had t thought that you can use a mod to string the hanging lights around the structure about half way down to add lights to the ground and the area where people would be watching the games after dark.
If you can't scrap something just select it with console on, and then write 'disable' so it will be invisible and you can build something else in the position (if you did not select it correctly just write 'enable' and it will come back).
Sadly this doesn't work with decals--rust, garbage layers, etc. You get a message saying that it is attached to the world space and cannot be disabled.
I know exactly what you mean. When I am playing, I AM that character. I have to concentrate on every little thing I do or say to figure out the evil response/action. That is uncomfortable to me and against everything I have learned in my life.
I'm playing on survival and have capped my level at 50 so It doesn't get to easy so I only have 360hp so far harbor is an absolute NIGHTMARE to survive in so I decided to make a settlement in echo lake lumber and needed some ideas and your builds are awesome.
I know it’s been years.. it’s only been a few months that I started playing.. the most fun I’ve ever had building/ decorating was back in the Star Wars Galaxies time.. you could make ceiling fans out out of a mine( hub of the fan) sword blades ( fan blades) a fighting staff ( shaft of the fan) etc.. take a short storage box and make an oven/ range. Use weapons mods as burners, Jedi crystals as knobs etc. you could place items virtually anywhere.. rotating items.. I once made a big screen tv with a ground scene with a 3D effect . A Tie fighter tilted out of the screen shooting at an X wing.. long winded .. sorry. I’m older been gaming since Diablo.. worked at a hospital across from Blizzard in Irvine California.. beta tested most of these games since Asherons Call. I hope you at one point see some a these. I know it’s been years.. can’t wait for Fallout 5.. take care Ox. Call sign AllKnighter
i hated echo lake lumber as a settlement location. but you have made it nice. my largest most developed settlement in all of fallout 4 is the visitors center.
FYI for fellow console players! USO is great for adding all kinds of stuff to the work shop! It may even be on PS4! It doesnt add anything to my knowledge.
The animation mess he was talking about I've been trying to find animation Rings or animation legendary effects that you can apply to equipment or items that you collect, example if you give a NPC a Pip-Boy you expect them to use it see you assign that animation to that item or if you give them a knife you assign the proper animation to that knife much like how the hats work whenever an NPC is wearing a hat but most of all I would like an animation for the jetpack for your NPCs specifically companions since the only characters that will fly and follow you are either bugs or I Bots.
Anybody watching this video in 2021. Years after watching this video, i finally know why the weather always turned bad in this settlement. Its the "region" data in the DLCCost.esm. Region data can change the weather or sounds for specific areas as overrides. To remove the crap weather from far harbor on PC: open the DLCCoast in F04Edit and find the Region data. Simply remove the weather overrides. The glowing sea uses it to always have radiation weather and Nuka World market is always sunny weather.
More bartenders than customers... idk. im adding some slot machines and other. but ty for the math. its useful info! you are the best Oxhorn! nice work!
Awesome vid! Not related to your build, but...echo lake lumber is the one settlement i would not send any settler willingly there... In the middle of an irradiated island full of beasts; whenever you try to leave/try to reach the settlement as a settler And the weather? Right from a nightmare... Really dont want any of my citizen live there ^^
Love all ur work and videos ,even after so long ,but thank u Ox,thank u so much,....Love ur voice and massive help with games,at the moment Fallout 4,....❤🥰👍👍👍
7:15 hey I'm Shawn I don't know if you still read these comments but at this time point you mentioned you couldn't do anything with this building I don't think you investigate it because I turned that into a complete convenience store with an entrance at the front and the back it served as a regular shop for both general goods and food and drink it had lighting so it is possible though we probably just try hard enough you just removed the wood plank off the door and there's a working door the same is on the front anyway I just thought I'd tell you.
Love the settlement Oxhorn, would be fantastic if Bethesda allowed the placeanywhere mod for console, trying to patch up the walls is a pain and almost always ends in failure for me ha.
I just realized that I was sitting here with my eyes bugged out and my mouth hanging open while watching this video. I've worked at construction for a good number of years of my life.

The level of detail and amount of effort you've put in here is impressive. After viewing I've decided to scrap everything and just make a simple new structure to house all the beds and amenities where the loaded logging truck was.

There was even a giant hermit crab. Thankfully I brought my trusty instigating four shot homing missile launcher and made short work of the encroaching threat. Thanks again Oxhorn
You bet, thanks for the comment!
+Oxhorn if you walk on the log bridge thing and go a little bit left the is a secret bunker
+Oxhorn have you used a mod to clear the weather? is there any way to clear the weather in far harbour on ps4?
build a mortar in a settlement you control and craft Clear Sky firework at a chem station. Power the mortar and drop the firework into it from your menu. Far Harbor's weather is scripted to be bad so they don't extend as far or for as long as the mainland. PS Not the junk mortar, the firework firer one.

I’m a builder/restorer in real life( projects from the boss.. err I mean wife) I truly believe our characters would sit talking for hours having a beer/ or other adult libations.. your story telling about all you do is fascinating.. great job..
You know I have a challenge for you Oxhorn! Take a settlement, your choice which, and try to modify and improve it, basically what you did for this, without any mods! There are a few rules to this though. Rule 1: Is of course no mods or console commands, you can only use what the game gives you naturally. Rule 2: Hangman's Ally is excluded because of it's size and difficulty to settle. Rule 3: If you succeed then you have to make a video explaining it just like any of your other settlement videos. Other then that you have free reign to due what you please. By the way two requests can you do a video about the quest that get's you the Mill as a settlement an a character profile on Piper?
I would have like the settlement more if 2 things were different that shack with signs wasn't un openable and a waste of space and if I could use the festival area...
you should try Snap Beds. That mod is all about bed variety~
I think you should use the two containers that you didn't scrap by your docks as backdrops for two of your bars from your food court. It will help your FPS by focusing several of your settlers in your dock/lounge area. There will always be people hanging out on your docks.
@ around 19:50 ish you were saying how you marked for delete those piles of garbage but as a player on ps4 when I deleted the furniture in that room (instead of trying to store it) the trash that it was with disappeared as well, interesting video, thanks for sharing this I really like your settlement build!
That happens sometimes but not always on the Xbox. Idk about ps4.
I love these video's, its made me re-think how I build. I was so lazy until I started watching these videos, now I put more effort into my settlements and its time well spent. Thanks Ox Moooooo!
Due to the atmosphere of fallout harbor, ive decided to make a castle there, I'm still not using mods so its taking forever because concrete and cement are hard to come by, I'm a huge Dracula fan so this was the perfect setting muahahaha.
watching at the end when your having issues with lights in the market area, I had t thought that you can use a mod to string the hanging lights around the structure about half way down to add lights to the ground and the area where people would be watching the games after dark.
If you can't scrap something just select it with console on, and then write 'disable' so it will be invisible and you can build something else in the position (if you did not select it correctly just write 'enable' and it will come back).
Sadly this doesn't work with decals--rust, garbage layers, etc. You get a message saying that it is attached to the world space and cannot be disabled.
Ok thanks for persuading me to get the far harber DLC, I already have nuka world on my ps4 but unfortunately I am too much of a nice guy to play it.
I know exactly what you mean. When I am playing, I AM that character. I have to concentrate on every little thing I do or say to figure out the evil response/action. That is uncomfortable to me and against everything I have learned in my life.
Oxhorn: each bed is unique. This one has handcuffs I wonder what they get to at night....
I'm playing on survival and have capped my level at 50 so It doesn't get to easy so I only have 360hp so far harbor is an absolute NIGHTMARE to survive in so I decided to make a settlement in echo lake lumber and needed some ideas and your builds are awesome.
I know it’s been years.. it’s only been a few months that I started playing.. the most fun I’ve ever had building/ decorating was back in the Star Wars Galaxies time.. you could make ceiling fans out out of a mine( hub of the fan) sword blades ( fan blades) a fighting staff ( shaft of the fan) etc.. take a short storage box and make an oven/ range. Use weapons mods as burners, Jedi crystals as knobs etc. you could place items virtually anywhere.. rotating items.. I once made a big screen tv with a ground scene with a 3D effect . A Tie fighter tilted out of the screen shooting at an X wing.. long winded .. sorry. I’m older been gaming since Diablo.. worked at a hospital across from Blizzard in Irvine California.. beta tested most of these games since Asherons Call. I hope you at one point see some a these. I know it’s been years.. can’t wait for Fallout 5.. take care Ox. Call sign AllKnighter
13:39 wow unimmersively facing toilet paper! i feel bad for your settlers B
Also this channel is awesome, keep up the good work
Thanks for pointing that out :O I know we're living in an irradiated wasteland filled with raiders and monsters... but let's try to remain civilized.
It is evil paper
i hated echo lake lumber as a settlement location. but you have made it nice. my largest most developed settlement in all of fallout 4 is the visitors center.
I actually left the holes in the attic and made it my defense grid.
damn i got so inspired i went to far harbor and started building this place up .
Funny thing first video I ever saw was the about the submarine I did not know what fallout was now I am hooked
FYI for fellow console players! USO is great for adding all kinds of stuff to the work shop! It may even be on PS4! It doesnt add anything to my knowledge.
Use settlements extended if you want those bar things
The spotlights are from automatron
The animation mess he was talking about I've been trying to find animation Rings or animation legendary effects that you can apply to equipment or items that you collect, example if you give a NPC a Pip-Boy you expect them to use it see you assign that animation to that item or if you give them a knife you assign the proper animation to that knife much like how the hats work whenever an NPC is wearing a hat but most of all I would like an animation for the jetpack for your NPCs specifically companions since the only characters that will fly and follow you are either bugs or I Bots.
Beautiful job, Ox! When the apocalypse happens I’m going to hire you to decorate my settlement!! lol 😂
I know there probably not on console but still there a nice touch I tip my hat to you sir.
Absolutely love this video! I wanted to light the sign as well, now I know how, LOL!
Anybody watching this video in 2021. Years after watching this video, i finally know why the weather always turned bad in this settlement. Its the "region" data in the DLCCost.esm. Region data can change the weather or sounds for specific areas as overrides. To remove the crap weather from far harbor on PC: open the DLCCoast in F04Edit and find the Region data. Simply remove the weather overrides. The glowing sea uses it to always have radiation weather and Nuka World market is always sunny weather.
This is why I use spring cleaning. You do have to be careful with it, but with practice you can delete all that garbage.
I subbed because your the best fallout 4 you tuber your so committed to it and I love that cause I am too.
More bartenders than customers... idk. im adding some slot machines and other. but ty for the math. its useful info! you are the best Oxhorn! nice work!
All I can say at 0:45, RadAway. It was screaming in my face...
I'm always impressed seeing such dedication. Did you use any mods? Because I believe vanilla settlements are...hard to make into something impressive.
Awesome vid!
Not related to your build, but...echo lake lumber is the one settlement i would not send any settler willingly there...
In the middle of an irradiated island full of beasts; whenever you try to leave/try to reach the settlement as a settler
And the weather? Right from a nightmare... Really dont want any of my citizen live there ^^
not huge but is still one of the best
I was able to scrap the plywood doors an gain access to the building by the entrance.
why is your character highly irradiated?
Fog
+Oxhorn ah... okay.
+Oxhorn how do u place ur walls
so many radiation storms jeez. They always freak me out 😂
Love all ur work and videos ,even after so long ,but thank u Ox,thank u so much,....Love ur voice and massive help with games,at the moment Fallout 4,....❤🥰👍👍👍
Would love this to be revisited :)
I made this into a brotherhood outpost
7:15 hey I'm Shawn I don't know if you still read these comments but at this time point you mentioned you couldn't do anything with this building I don't think you investigate it because I turned that into a complete convenience store with an entrance at the front and the back it served as a regular shop for both general goods and food and drink it had lighting so it is possible though we probably just try hard enough you just removed the wood plank off the door and there's a working door the same is on the front anyway I just thought I'd tell you.
Far harbor is unsettling without fog
Love the settlement Oxhorn, would be fantastic if Bethesda allowed the placeanywhere mod for console, trying to patch up the walls is a pain and almost always ends in failure for me ha.
your gonna need alot more defenses the condenser down quest you get randomly from settlers can be hard
I've been waiting a few years but when are you going to do your lumber mill settlement build
So much radiation... this must be your ghoul playthrough.
The water purifiers are NEAR A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER
Man, for a post-apocalypse these settlers are really needy. 10 cats can't make them happy? 10?
you can use a Building Area Size Increasing Mod, to access the Pre war Shop spot
The logs don't move when you run on them
If i was ever in Fallout 4 and the bombs hit, i would go to this settlement after it was built
did you find the bunker across the logs
If I could’ve gotten before I destroyed far harbor I would’ve made it a Mechanist caravans expansion with a gun runners shop near the entrance
Brill build. Love it.
