Fallout 4 Guide - Staircases, Turret Emplacements & Guard Towers
Ойындар
This is a style of video I might make more of in the future if you all want more (and assuming I actually can think of stuff to build!) - three smaller structures that you can use within your larger builds.
In this video I'll show you how to make staircases, turret emplacements and that guard tower you saw in my Sunshine Tidings tour.

Your videos are the only reason my settlements will look good!

I know what you mean I rarely do anything exactly the same as he does but he gives me loads of ideas so my settlements look unique to me and realistic as well before his videos I had the same walls on everything and half the time my buildings were floating in the air
I still haven't found Shaun.... I don't know if I ever will get around to it. What with 25 cities to run, hundreds of settlers to feed, clothe and arm, my job as a pending Brotherhood Knight to scrupulously avoid, and my Railroad secret agent missions to carry out. Seems the entire commonwealth will collapse if I stop for five minutes to do something I want! Sole survivor my ass, more like sole worker ;-)

I asume you finished by now
Loving these smaller videos. It's a nice way to see a detailed explanation into how you built some of the smaller things that you normally can't justify for a let's build. However I may suggest taking these and making them into a separate series and perhaps keeping the guides for some of the unique exploits/tricks you can do to help build settlements. (Aka, rug glitch, fixing sanctuary houses, indoor wiring, power usage help, ect...)
I have watched all your tutorials and have come to the conclusion that you sir, are a genius. A benevolent one at that. Many thanks.
you seriously just solved the three problems I was having with my current settlement with one video. Fucking amazing
I think that making some videos on some small little settlement details, like this video, would be an awesome idea. These types of videos really help me build. Thanks norespawns!
the rug glitch is my savior hahaha
I stumbled across this video, earlier this afternoon, whilst innocently scouring Google Images for solid watchtower designs. The sun is now setting and I'm still binge-watching and re-watching your tutorials. In addition, I fear my original project of contructing a couple of modest guard posts will no longer satisfy me. Now I'm just itching to spend the rest of my night/week refurbishing my entire settlement, instead of mustering the attention necessary to finally finish the storyline! So, thanks for that xP Also: I find your directions and demonstrations to be delightfully clear and concise. You've created a great collection of tutorials on your channel, and I appreciate it ^^
I think this is nice, maybe not every build video, but spaced out here and there. It allows people to take in your style, in manageable pieces. Thank you Davey
I think that the idea of tossing three linked builds per episode would be a good way to break up the site building episodes, and it would show how you built each area in little tutorial chunks for those of us who are aesthetically challenged. Side note, after watching your videos, I deleted all my old saves and restarted with a better settlement plan in mind, and spent more time on each settlement to get them just right. The rug glitch works on PC fully updated, I can attest to that since I have used it, as well as the powerline through walls glitch. It would be an excellent idea to make a build/tour video, even several for larger settlements, and then before moving on to the next one, put in all the little ideas, tips and tricks used to make it, using say sanctuary as a scale model representation area. As with all my ideas, feel free to use or ignore them as you wish. Have fun, and have a great day!
I like your single tip videos and I like your triple tip videos. You just keep pumping them out and I'll keep watching them all.
Three great concepts, one great video, and a solid new format that you can use between your larger let's build vids for when you want to show something more intricate, but don't want to make a full 25-30 minute vid.
I don't watch the videos of Norespawns here. Instead of I download all immediately to make my own archive of good and useful advises. What I especially like is Norespawns is not so fast speaking as others. So people like me from Germany understand him very well. Thank you very much, Norespawns, for your great work!

Davey! lol dude these videos are GREAT and I'm amazed at how your settlements have come together these small build concepts are PERFECT for the advanced FO4 players who love to add some new expansions to their already existing builds. CHEERS keep'm coming!
Great content! I like the idea of having multiple ideas/tips in one video! Your commentary is always amazing with the random funny moments of you cursing at the snapping mechanics and the way you explain things makes it easy to understand a remember! Keep it up!!
Thank you for all the tips and tricks you have shown throughout these very helpful videos. Can't wait to see what else you have to show
really liking this format, and hey at least it was a bit less cold in London than yesterday
I have to go along with many/most of the commentators here: I really enjoy your vids. Very well explained, you take your time and you dont talk down to anyone. The language gets a bit salty at times, but thats ok, because it is very obvious you are enjoying yourself. I am finding this series to be very helpful; thank you for taking the time and producing them.

This how-to-build-a-specific-element style is a good format, and it's probably most useful to make one when (like this one) you get a lot of questions on specific things that you want to address. I'm really enjoying your method and approach. You have a very keen eye for the Wasteland style, and watching you "think" (how you scroll through the menus as you scan and decide what to put down next) is an extremely useful thing for me. On the request list: I would really enjoy a 4x or 6x time lapse of the development of an entire settlement (a small one, though, like Hangman's or Oberland or Croup) from start to finish, ideally with narration. To view your whole process, so to speak. I think that would be a fascinating video. Love your stuff. Am glad I subscribed. Cheers.
Rug glitch was the best thing I ever learnt for base building haha. has added a whole new dimension to settlements for me. That and the size glitch. Being on PC I can make some monsterous settlements now. Awesome series by the way.
Nice one. Like the 3-thing-format. Quick and tidy.
Love em! But I love your "Let's Build" series best! I get so excited whenever you upload one! I check a few times a day(:
I personally like the three mini builds per episode. I’m really late watching these but I will say they have helped me build some pretty sweet settlements. Thanks for posting such helpful vids brother.
Man I love your creativity. Deff the best base build tips I have seen
Your thousand woods makes me want to cry. Thanks for your videos they're really helpful. Successfully re-roofed and re-floored 1 house on sanctuary. Lol
I love vids like this, they give me alot of inspiration to invent new buildings and for some reason i'm just addicted to listening to your voice.... No idea why...
I really appreciate your videos. Thank you for taking the time to help out those of us who are "building challenged"
I started playing FallOut 4 again just because of your videos. These are really good.
I really appreciate these modular tutorials. My problem is I get these really big ideas and then give up because the task becomes too big. Implementing these smaller builds into my settlements makes things more easy to manage. Thanks for your help!!
I like these vids next to the let's builds. So you have the opportunity to combine these two in your settlement. Good job!
Tried to copy this the other night after seeing your sunshine tidings video and couldn't for the life of me work out how you did the shack floor between the junk fences (my tower's essentially just floating over the junk fences). Something I did with the guard post though was to leave a side of the tower clear and then place two of the half wooden floors side by side and then place the guard post on them, making it look realistic as well as more visible. Anyway, great video again.
Really enjoy your videos and it's amazing how fast your channel grows. Keep it up man!!
2021 and im still learning valuable stuff about Fallout 4! Here comes my first full Minutemen good guy Rebuild all settlements playthrough
Great job! I really like the mini build tutorials. You are extremely creative and explain things very well. Thank you for the great ideas, very helpful.
+norespawns This episodes vídeos are better, and your content and the way u explain and talks it's great. keep it coming guy!
I'm personally a fan of a miniature structure video being added to the rotation. It's basically what we're doing here right? I watch your videos and steal bits and pieces of your settlements to build my own unique settlements.
loving these videos man! keep it up
Good format, keep 'em coming :)
love your videos for the little tips and tricks. I just love settlement building in the game. I think I've gone up 30 levels on just building stuff. LOVE IT!
These helped me so much man, glad i found your channel
I got Starlight Drive-in setup as a town, It's so crowded, that I even put down hobo camps😁😆. I like to go to the top of the drive in screen, and look down at my amazing empire😊😈
You're the big talk on /r/falloutsettlements right now. ^^

Great stuff man! Love the channel
Your videos really make me feel bad :) When I finished a building, I either don't like it (because it looks shitty compared with your buildings) or I like it - until I notice that I simply re-built what you did :) Your creativity is unbelievable and an inspiration!
great videos! this format really works well and hey at least it was a bit less cold in London today (am ill now though)
gotta say, my Spectacle Island home base has a lot of your structures in it... thanks for the vids.
Thanks for all the tips. you have really helped my settlement building!
"Those are not stairs those are roofs thats what we learned today" I love this guy 😂

Hey man love your channel and your content! Thank you for the tips too!
Yeah mate.... little projects like that are cool. Keep up the good work.
Please carry on with this concept when you invent more builds :)
Great video & some excellent inspiring build ideas. I've taken your idea for the guard tower & adapted it slightly myself into a "single prefab tile" tower with a couple of little tweeks. They look excellent & add something different to my main settlement! Cheers for the inspiration & helpful build tutorial. I'm on Xbox One & haven't installed any post release patches at all, but sadly it seems (for me at least) that the rug glitch for shack walls won't work for some reason. It works for pretty much everything else (junk fences/furniture). It's a bit strange as I've attempted it numerous times with varying numbers of rugs/mats, manoeuvred around with no effect : ( With the much anticipated addition of building mods for consoles (utilising Settlement Supplies Expanded etc.) the diversity of builds are promising to be immense. I'm hoping we see a mod that allows the placement of ambient lighting, such as the oil lamps, candles & the oil drum braziers. The "place in red" mod would be extremely useful too. I love these bite-size tips & tricks videos which you're putting out. Very useful & very informative, and I'm looking forward to more great build ideas you have. Cheers 👍
YOU SIR GET IT! you have just the right idea going on how any construction should have that apocalypse look. and I have used your ideas to improve the outcome being, that the buildings I create add to it instead of looking out of place. and it's freaking fun. I did wanted to ask if you ever make a pyramid how would you go with it. thankx and catch you in your next video. laterz
Love the content and channel.
Another awesome vid. Thanks mate!
You are the best creator ive ever watched thankyou so much
This is a nice build man! It's given me some ideas xD
Very nice indeed. It's easy to find BIG structures - as that seems to be a popular fad - but finding more realistic small structures that compliment the game in a more immersive manner is neigh on impossible. Yours is the first I have found. Very well done, would like to see how to build a modular compact dwelling (one where you can easily add extra floors as your settlement grows). Cheers!
awesome awesome stuff! your vids are the best
hmm very helpful with the stairs, i thought u said hold down x in the first video but i haven't been able to try it yet. i don't even have guard posts anymore just perimeter bridges with turrets along them and a siren in a safe place in the center. it works really nicely and everyone's free to live their lives :) (so long as the perimeter is after the spawning point).
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
dude these are awesome!
Love it! Please many more.
love your vids dude just subbed :)
For a simpler and more compact version of the turret railing, instead of the shack floors, you can place them on one of the wide wooden coffee tables.
Cool vid. Make more like this.
I just stack four of the small shack floors on top of each other and move them in their place with a door mat, after that I place the turret on top of them. Also, you don't have to place the mat on top of each other. It suffices that you place them on the ground in a row, not too far a part. Then just grab the first and the rest will follow.
Hello! love your vids man.
i like the way you say "Structure."
Hi, I've watch your videos and let me just say YOU SIR GET IT! you have just the right idea going on how any construction should have that apocalypse look. and I have used your ideas to improve the outcome. I'm happy to add to the game more of its contents being, that the buildings I create add to it instead of looking out of place. and it's freaking fun.

I love the buildings on top of the houses. What a neat idea. Is there a tutorial for that?
Your vids are super super helpful. And i really enjoy watching them. Plus i would love to show you my settlements and possibly get feed back from you please
Hey davey you plan on streaming while you build? Also... Wtf with those stairs that's ingenious. Also... Holy fuck with the channel growth! I found you at like 3k so it's cool to watch you get as popular as you have been getting

"Open up another account and dislike 5 more times." Ha ha! I love your videos, man. You're naturally entertaining/funny, and provide great content overall. You're pretty much the only KZreadr I REALLY look forward to seeing new videos. And yes, I like the 3-part build video idea.
I would love a tutorial on how you build the buildings on top of the sanctuary houses and any guides on gathering rescources, finding the best locations and planning our builds

+norespawns Sorry just after i added this comment i watched the sanctuary video and forgot to take down the comment XD Great videos though, keep up the good work man!
I am using chainlink and wire fencing as anti-rpg and anti-grenade defense. Funny seeing attackers throwing grenades, having them bouncing off and exploding on the ground. While your turrets blast away at them. Missiles you need to place the turret 1/2 to 1 tile back from the fencing. This is due to the missiles detonating on contact with the fencing. Still need to work out an effective counter for the fat man. As they have explosive, radiation damage and a large blast radius. I was thinking of building a square open roofed area, funnel any attackers through it. And have walkways lined with turrets, that have a clear field of fire into the square. Using some chainlink, wire fence pieces as a roof. Any enemy stupid enough to throw a grenade, fire a missile or fat man will regret it. But your turrets can happily chew through them like tissue paper.
I tried your tower technic with with two story buildings. make the building. then remove lower outside walls. swap in junk fence wall gives the walls a different look :)
I'm having trouble fixing one of the walls in sanctuary. It's the house you start off in before the war. The hole I need to fix is to the right of the fridge right above where all of the countertops are. How did you fix that spot with the counters in the way?
Damn..only nineteen dislikes? You know you're doing good!
Thanks for these videos. Really helpful. Sadly because I"m using the arrow keys for movement I cannot move when in workshop mode, except for walk forward. It makes building really friggin hard.
Norespawns: I loved this vid. Yes please to more like it. Also I think I was doing the rug glitch wrong. I was holding the X down. Ps4. Thanks Dave. :))
I like to make a long chain out of five or six rugs built with them leading over the edge of a shallow hill. then I place the object so it is supported by the rug. then I grab the rug closest to the object, this leaves me with a good quick setup
Are small slabs on the edges of concrete a good method? I used concrete and shack wall and roofs to make my guard tower
got to say like them all, city show, off little stuff, and 1 big thing. So mabie you can just do 1 every other day? and cycle threw to keep it interesting or go with whatever is easier to edit? and harder edit stuff on days when u got more time?
Got to love you Davey
Nice video thanks
Please please please can you clear spectacle Island and do a time lapse video of you building a structure there? i feel like youd be able to make an awesome island base :D
Do more metal walls like the curved ones and try to incorporate the round door please, I've fiddled with it for hours but can't seem to make it look good.
Is there any way to make guards actually stand at their guard post? I mean, in some of my settlements they do, and in others like The Castle they *refuse* to actually man any assigned post. They just stand around in random places, or wander aimlessly. Meanwhile, I can't get anyone to actually watch the entrance!
I find xbone rug glitch doesn't hardly ever work. that being said the pricipal can apply to other resources like shack floors. I find on xbone you can stack 30 rugs atop each other and will only pick up the rugs, not the item on top. I've glitched in junk fences with shack floors, they will drop the fences down upon removal, usually. 😉
Do you have any tutorials for USO based Unlock mods? I love the different wall options, but only I can enter the buildings. NPCs won't go in. X_X
Did you learn the rug glitch you rug technique from Xhibit with West Coast Customs?
You should try out the conquest mod, i think you could have some fun with it.
If you could make a love shack that would be nice, Actually I think there is one in Diamond city "Thats where its at".....Get it?
