That is the most unique way of connecting the overpass with the ground at Finch Farm! I was utterly transfixed watching you piecing that wonderful collection of structures together... And I absolutely love the attention to detail you put into the "engineering" of the whole with all of those supports to enhance immersion! That has to be one of the best builds you have yet come up with!!

Thanks! I was a little worried about this section, most methods I have seen to get on the overpass involve large ugly towers that tend to overpower the rest of the build. Really happy with how it turned out and feel it strikes a nice balance of not looking too out of place, whilst still drawing the eye and hopefully making people think “oh, I wanna climb up that and see where it goes”. Great to hear you also liking the ‘engineering’, always like my structures to have visible supports so they look somewhat realistic, have been able to tweak and add a few more off camera which you’ll also hopefully enjoy when shown in the finished tour 🤞😅

Wait where did those chains come from?😳 Great build, especially considering the frankly atrocious build mechanics of this game that Bethesda really couldn’t give a shit about. For example no remote build camera? Whats that all about? Forcing us to build from the top down or find some way to get above the build! Are you using a build anywhere mod too? I constantly get red outline “clashing” indicators when trying my more elaborate builds.

Those chains along with a few other normally un-buildable objects were added using console commands (see description for more details 😉). I build with the Place Everywhere mod which I find takes a lot of the frustration out of building, and allows me to focus on building what I want without having to fight the games limited mechanics 👍.

Do you ever work with settlement object mods?

I have in the past, but for this playthrough my goal is to create a save where every settlement has been built up but can still be loaded without any mods.

can you please give some advice or answers about NPC activities and how settlement attack work in my buildings, please? I was trying to build something good but when i build generator or water purifier pound in a mini house to save it from attacks , i discover that enemies from settlement attacks spawn inside of my buildings specially where i save my generator and purifer water pound. Another thing would be How NPC settler or raider of nukaworld in gang outpost work about high height and stairs because when i create stair for them, they directly fall from there and die , another thing would be when they are farming food or something in the last floor and when i am walking to my settlement and it start to load the map directly my settlers or raiders fall until the first floor like if there werent buildings or nothing. I tried to build something cool in finch farm but my settlers always fall from the big bridge where a place my crops and water purifier since settlement attacks spawn inside my houses which is really stupid . A perfect build to protect my water and generators and attacks dont spawn inside of them? A way that my settlers can use that bridge or do thing in high heights without fall or something? i had the same problems in graygarden with the big bridge that this settlement has.

@FiddleflapsVids

Due to the spawn points being inside the settlements I have always used the No Settlement Attacks mod, I think it was the first mod I ever installed for the game and have never stopped using it. As such I really don’t have much experience with the settlement attack system. If you still want to have attacks there are mods that move the spawn points outside the settlement borders. Alternatively, you would need to look up where the spawn points are and then try and plan your building placements around them. This is the first time I have built on an overpass and so far not had any issues with settlers falling off and not really sure what to suggest, sorry 😔
