You make a great point; make sure your beds have roofs over them. The game actually checks to see if the beds are covered; this increases happiness. Some of the prebuilt settlements have beds that are exposed, moving them helps.

Wow, you go to all the trouble of making individual rooms. Nice! I almost never do that. Everyone lives in the barracks, and if they want their own house they can damn well build it themselves. I've got shit to do.

I install several mods, throw some ideas at the wall and create the horrors my brain whispers to me. Something I take into account when building is nearby locations. For example, Starlight is close to a train line and a downed airliner. So, I use boxcars and airplane seats and parts for some buildings. It’s the little things like that, which make builds feel that much more real in the world.

There was a spreadsheet made by a couple of the older mod makers, and Fallout 4 build guide makers. It showed that around 250ish defense on a settlement meant you would really have to go overboard on water and food, before you would be attacked, the very basic defense number was shown to be 2x the food and water added together, any less and you might as well not go exploring very far.

@jcohasset23

2 ай бұрын

A defense number that's higher than 2x food and water together just makes for a base 2% chance of being attacked. Without mods there is no way to completely negate the chance of being attacked. It feels like there is a bit of a random variable on how well settlements do without the player present- I've had settlements fail to defend that have over 100 defense and others that succeed even with 0 defense while still having food and water.

Here are few of my tips: - sleeping bags are excellent since they take very little space in settlements, - plant tato, corn, and mutfruit for adhesive production, - using the basic electric generators can be really useful early game for your settlement, - build your structures out of wood, and concrete to save up on resources, - don't cheap out on turrets, - build the highest tier class of your shops.

The Bob Ross of Fallout. I learned a lot from him.

I’ve been having a ton of fun but felt like i didnt have a great way to intergrate the headcanon i have of my sole survivor doing settlement building as community service with the fact i just filled the settlements with prefabs and stuffed beds foot to foot then called it a day. Your videos have genuinely given me a whole new perspective on how i design and build places now. I only have access to the base game so my structures arent as elaborate/clean, but ive taken to heart the one bed, one storage contaienr, one seating piece for each room and its made the settlements just feel better to walk around

I just realised I’ve been making the wrong wooden floors! No wonder I’ve no steel left, I should have used the warehouse floor not the wooden floor with the paint marks. Oh well only 6 or 7 settlements built! Very much enjoying my second playthrough some years later. Really glad to have found your channel 👍

Man great video. Didn't think I'd get this into watching a settlement being built. And the stuff I learned is good too.

You did a excellent job teaching us how to build .😊

For settlements, the "best" crops to plant, IMO, are an equal number of corn, tato, and mutfruit. Your settlers don't care, and you might just like variety, but this combination, along with excess purified water from your purifiers, can be crafted to create vegetable starch, a source of adhesive. Adhesive is a rare crafting material that is needed for EVERY weapon and armor mod in the game. Plant multiples of three, since the recipe needs three of each.

@r.ndomperson

14 күн бұрын

ermmm acktually paints are technically mods and they dont require adhesive

One thing you forgot to mention that is useful. In the contraptions or far harbor dlc they gave us a bell on a pole. You build it in a settlement and activate it and it draws everyone assigned to the settlement to itfor kond of a settlement meeting. I use it to figure out who has work and assign those that don't.

Strongest concrete outhouse ever contructed this side of Boston lol Great guide btw!

The terrain there lends itself well to WWI style trench structures. You can sink guard posts, various small floor pieces and the various wood walls, stairs, sandbags, tires, etc with turrets here and there. The attacking raiders and animals CAN get a little confused, which buys you a few seconds in a fight.

April 25th cannot come fast enough. Thanks for this series - I can’t wait to get back into building.

Lmao I literally preordered Fallout 4, have the collector’s edition wearable pip-boy sitting on my shelf, and am just now trying to figure out how settlements are supposed to actually work 😂😂

Great tutorial! I'm kinda lazy so I usually just download some mods that have pre built houses for my settlements, your video motivated me to start a new play through to just build settlement!

Prefect timing. I need a refreshing. Braving the wastelands again.

I'm not a noob to the settlements whatsoever. Even still this video was so helpful! I liked, subbed, watched the adverts 👍

So we’re all here then 😂

Well, this is incredibly useful, I was having trouble trying to use the structures, but it seems the most reliable parts are the warehouse/barn pieces. Just for testing pruposes I created my arcade at Sanctuary with the Nuka World games and boy it looks glorious, full of neons and lights. The settlement's happiness went up to 95%. I'll try more of these ideas myself. Thank you so much.

These settlement videos are always fun to see even if most times I just make a multistory open-air bunkhouse using the wood structures building kit. The exact design can vary depending on what settlement it's at and some of them I'm just not a fan of trying to build at. The biggest problem is typically when I have a lot of enthusiasm in building is early in a new run when ample resources are hard to come by or I don't yet have the perk to build a particular thing/haven't initiated a DLC yet. One of my most challenging attempts (but was oddly a lot of fun) was doing a run with 1 charisma and intelligence.

so advanced advice at level 15 & getting the robot work bench just make a ton of Atomatron robots & boom no settlers needed no food used & full water to the crafting of Adhesives. My common settlements for water collection for this is 200 water production & NO Organic settlers, Just 4 Warbots & a tone of Gardnatrons

:) Incredible, this one video demonstrates and explains most of the Settlement issues.

I love to build in F4. Most of my settlements are self-sufficient fortresses of humanity, with sky high walls, billion of turrets and everything within those walls, including my own "bunker" with it´s own reactor, food and water. Once you know how to infinity building space (at least on PC), you can build crazy stuff.

Missile turrets are most effective, I find, if placed on the corner of raised concrete platforms with an L-shaped pair of walls behind them to keep them from firing on the settlement they're guarding. Used this way, they are almost guaranteed to stop most attacks quickly at long range.

Found myself on Fallout 4 because of the show. Found myself here because i wanted to understand settlements. Didn't know it was this detailed. Im now hooked. 😂

I hadn't played Fallout 4 since 2019 but after watching the show AND waiting for season 4 of Diablo 4 to come out, getting back to the endless fun and creativity that is building settlements in F4 has been so much fun.

This is really cool. I am going to try building better settlements from now on. I’ve always just stuck turrets around the perimeter, few water pumps, scrap the crap, build a generator and lighting in the main building, drop down a few crops, and a couple of beds. If the site is a good size I’ll put a beacon antenna down and sometimes build a prefab tin shack with a couple of beds inside. I’d really like to go all out in sanctuary it’s just a shame you can’t scrap every house to start fresh

I'm freshly into this (watching at less than 5 minutes), but if Grey doesn't mention it, "Place Anywhere" is an essential mod for settlement building. No yellow outline, any object can be placed anywhere; just makes settlement building so much more relaxed and fun.

Absolutely informative and fun😸👍🏾

Also, I think youd appreciate my riverside cafe in sanctuary. Preston seems to be always sitting there lol

Settlers tend to get upset/lose happiness if there are too many raids/attacked by raiders, so make sure you keep defense higher than any resources produced at that settlement. For example, say you have one settlement making 100 purified water for the rest of your settlements, make sure that settlement has over 100 defense and all the settlers there have weapons, grenades, a stimpak, melee weapon, and some sort of armor upgrades. Also, a bed with a roof over their head, enough water and food affect happiness. Oh, and make sure to remove all the dirty water and purified water from the workbench/system storage if the surplus purified water (100 - 20, so 80) is not showing up. At the moment, each purified water sells for 20 caps, so selling 1000 purified water earns a significant profit of 20k caps. Problem is, most traders do not have 20k caps available, so you may want to sell of smaller amounts regularly; also, trying to carry 1k purified water (each weighs .5 pounds/lbs) would be 500 pounds and slow you down in normal play or possibly insta-kill you in survival mode. Once you get 6 charisma and the local leader perk, add supply lines between settlements. Supply lines require a settler assigned to that role, so make sure you either use settlers from an overpopulated settlement or recruit more settlers at remote settlements and use those extra settlers to connect that settlement to that 'central hub' settlement to access all the resources of all the connected settlements. If you are playing survival mode, healing by drinking water works, until it doesn't. To fix that glitch, store the water pump, then place it again. I have started to just store and place the water pump after each time I use the water pump to heal. One of the easiest methods to supply your character with food and water (especially in survival mode) is noodle cup, which is crafted with dirty water and razorgrain. Once you get around 10 razorgrain planted, you only have to loot the dirty water or find bottles and fill them. Sourcing the bottles for the dirty water is the limiting factor, but all of these can be filled with water from any river/water source: empty milk bottle, (large) wine/alcohol of various types (bourbon, whiskey, burgundy, vodka, etc) bottles, beer bottles, large baby bottle, brown bottle, liquor bottle, white bottle, and nuka-cola bottle. Ballistic weave is unlocked by completing Underground Railroad missions for P.A.M., then talk to Tinker Tom to unlock ballistic weave mods at armor workbenches. Settlers with ballistic weave upgraded clothing are more survivable; up to 110 damage & energy resistance on clothing is possible. Due to limited resources (ballistic fiber and fiberglass), I generally only add ballistic weave to companions. If you want them to be able to wear glasses and other armor items, I suggest add upgrades to your favorite item that has free armor slots and + stats like Minuteman Outfit (+1 perception, +1 agility), then hat, dress, pants, etc, so you can still equip other armor, glasses/goggles, etc. There are other plenty of clothing options here, so go with what works with your build/playstyle. fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Ballistic_weave

If you want a more colorful settlement or are just running out of space to make a farm, try planting some crops on roofs using the dirt plot you get from one of the DLCs

It would be cool if you posted a long video of you building one of these settlements. I'm not aware of there being any videos of like that on youtube. Would help imo in showing the full process of an elaborate build.

With the next gen upgrades the game looks much better on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. I'd like to finally master this technique as someone who always enjoys city building games. Thank you for this tutorial, I never understood how developers just didn't explain this mechanic in the game.

Thank you your video is very helpful .😊

Shot at T. Howard and P. Garvey. Nice. This player has stumbled upon a method of building lighthouses truly beyond reproach: Only concrete set externally. The curved corners and one long concrete wall running the sides. Sink the first layer half-way then add a second. Build a floor, and indent by two column widths (same curved corners, but now with one-half wall and two columns running each side). Build seven layers of this. Extend back out to the same width as the foundation, and place your curved corners. But now make windows with the concrete columns in the following tricky way: temporarily snap to the curved corner walls a half-wall and snap a column centrally atop it, before snapping more columns to it the whole way along the side. Delete the half-size wall. Snap columns to the curved corners along the first layer too. The goal now is to merge the two layers of columns such that you have half a column width between each column. This top area must be two layers. Then simply build a roof and an interior scaffold staircase, furnish the top, light, and create a decorative elevated entry gantry by the concrete wall entry door, and pow -- that is one fine looking lighthouse! Note: white lights look the best. Also, a helipad is a fantastic addition when connected two-thirds of the way up the structure. But that belongs to another story.

i wish the settlement mechanic was done differnetly, so you could choose throgh a terminal or something a part of the settlement and set it to e one way or another, so while it would be player's choice on what that part would look or be it would still be pre-made, this way it would allow for not only a good city building mechanic, good enough for a fps shooter anyway, and it would also allow for a more lively settlement, with settlers that actually can have unique dialogue, give you quests, actual one not the stupid radiant ones, sell things to you, set up their own hommes without you having to do even the smallest thing for them, and the npcs wouldnt be just boring no-names that say "Did you hear of that farm run by ghouls?" all the time

Also I did just start playing Fallout 4 and I want to learn how to build a proper settlement

When it comes to settlement building, I have an OCD thing about walls with holes in them, so I generally only stick to concrete and solid wood walls (usually from Creation Club add ons). To the extent that I use barn walls and other structures that have holes in them, I save it for structures that aren't meant to be enclosed, such as pavillions and outdoor dining areas. I also like to build high rise personal residences, so I like settlements such as Kingsport Lighthouse, Starlight Drive-In, Finch Farm, and Graygarden which have high altitude build limits and structures that facilitate "high rise" builds. Also, while I know they have minimal relevance, I like to enclose my settlements and I like to place A LOT of turrets at all the access points in my settlements. Still don't have much of an answer for Brotherhood vertibird assaults, though.

Thanks for great tips! Buildings look proper. How is the interaction with settler ai? Are they good with ramps and walls?
