There is a way. I do it in my settlements all the time. The Castle and that one half-crumbled building in Jamaica Plain come to mind. It's a bit tricky (and it REALLY helps to have a mod like Place Everywhere, that allows you to clip walls into objects without them turning red), but it's doable.

I use the mod "Castle Walls Restored" (place late in load order) will not only fix the walls, but add several rooms to the castle that were before useless rubble areas including a matching door facing the diner. Also while Bethesda misses stuff all the time, I do like how they connected those sinks through those pipes all the way out to the ocean where the water pump sits. Its a nice touch and one thing you don't have to bother, even if it locks it into that room.

@Curt Harakaly Who cares how people play a single-player game. I play with lore-friendly, immersion-adding mods. But some people want a fresh game-play experience. Besides, you're telling me it makes sense that one person, who was has no carpentry/construction experience, can make a whole concrete/steel settlement in a few in-game days? Obviously it doesn't but that's in the game. Mods can be used in such a variety of ways (including to actually fix the game, a good portion of my mods). I like to watch people build without mods best but personally I think mods add depth and replay value, even to those who want to keep a lore-friendly and immersive playthrough, like me.

The clinic feels like it needs a window or two. As it stands now, your doctor is going to turn into some kind of cave creature.

This is exactly how I did my castle walls. The only difference is the garage door is on the inside of the castle wall, and I used a junk gate for the outside. The area in between has turrets set up for any unwanted visitors that happen to get inside the junk gate. I have the inside completely wired almost identically. Just don’t have the wall for the generator room. Lol. I use the inside for shops and sleeping quarters. I even created a nice bar/restaurant in the room you made the bathrooms. I also have 2 jail cells. I have inside bathrooms and have outhouses as well. Awesome build!!

For heavily fortified settlements like this, I'd love to be able to assign a settler as a door guard. They'd basically be like any defense assigned settler but would seal powered doors. Doesn't matter too much when attacks spawn within the walls but still...it would eliminate that weird feeling when you walk away from a fortification leaving the door open or with a way to open it. Maybe that's just me

This is very good The Castle settlement build. I especially like you're northern wall entrance part. The other parts of the fort are really well done like the baracks, and the generator. The only thing that I would put outside near the water purifier would be the farm since I like to be historically accurate, so the attackers won't damage the crops, and to save up some space for other future base developments. For the crops I usually go for the Tato, Corn, and Mutfruit to create Adhesive in almost every settlement. Now for the future settlement builds videos I would recommend Sunshine Tidings co-op farm, or for more chalenge Coastal cottage settlement. Ps. I hope that you will get subs in the future.

Here's a trick I've used for powered doors that block entrances: put an additional switch on the outside, connect the output from both switches to an XOR gate, and connect the XOR output to the door. This makes it so both switches toggle the door and you can open and close it from either side.

The thing I love about build videos is usually I would do a lot different in mine, but you always see little things in videos like this that give you ideas and new things to try. Such a fun game!

I have used concrete walls to do the repair. This allows me to build an entry room in the large opening, and a 4 season store in the small opening. Over the large opening is an open bay barrack for the troop. The hallway bays are close off into officer quarters. I furnished the kitchen so it was functional. A second corner I made into a shower room. The third one was made into a clinic. A the 4th one with the stairs is the general's quarters. While I do use mods I added as few extra structures as possible. One of the optional mods I sometimes use is grass floor square mod to torn the grass green. I have also used sim settlements to plant crops on the brown grass roofs. I try to make it as functional as possible and still put as few alterations inside the courtyard. Keeping it a practice, exercise and recreation area.

My build was practically the same thing (with minor differences here and there), but I also built a platform around the water filtration system, with stairs leading down to it, walls all around it, and a little guard shack. I guess I just felt like it needed to be protected, though I can't remember ever seeing any enemies appearing back there. Oh well. It still looks cool.

I love building up the acastle to be a beast so when I side with the Minute Men it turns into one of the best synth slaughter houses.

It's really simple, but practical, I like it. I've also started building those holes in and put up some turrets along with the big artillery guns. Then I never really thought about anything, I was concentrating more on Sanctuary Hills. I've demolished most of the old houses and used Snappy Housekit and Scrap Everything mods to clean up the place and built some new buildings, like a big two-floor market, a generator room, 3 residential houses which are almost fully decorated, a barn for the brahmins, and a private house. Now I'm planning a basketball court with some stairs on the side. And I also have a big Power Armor showcase house to let me put out my 10+ different type or painted power armors. I've also fully restored Croup Manor using the Snappy mod, then I went to County Crossing to build an art-deco-like house and some defense for the 2 settlers there. My next big plan is to make something monumental out of Spectacle Island, which is maybe the biggest buildable settlement. I like watching, how others make nice settlements, the ideas are almost infinite, especially if you happen to use mods too. Actually I like building some more than playing the game itself.

Lovely looking build, and far better than the ramshackle stuff I usually do!

Nice build, what you did with the walls is almost the same as I do, that's actually what made me watch this.

The one that keeps it from being uniform due to the lack of a triangler block in the building options. I've yet to find a solution to it

Some nice touches i hadnt thought about..ie.. roller door.. placing of other lockable gate.. When i rebuild outer wall, i build into the yard deeper, fronting with Warehouse build parts.. My (god only knows) many play throughs and ive only just started using warehouse bits.. they look nicer than concrete and makes building forts with crenilated walls looks pretty cool

I could never get that creative with the castle (except for a pier outside its' western wall). Most of the inside rooms are generally set up how I want them. The place that starts with the first aid is an aid station, the room at the end with sinks is the dining hall, the arms room stays the arms room. I change only a little; the big officer rooms into bays for the foot sodier minutemen and the central yard is for pushup mats, workout gear, and the rubble pile is a CQM range. TLDR: It starts close to how I would want it anyway.

money and resources were never a problem for me. lol. i always water farmed. starting with sanctuary and then moving to the castle. got to a point where every couple days i would have 1400+ bottle of water to sell. then i would go to the main settlements that have shipments of resources and trade the water for the resources. then i would build the castle into some magnificent monster.

I cant wait to get that place i started a new character with 8 luck points in Survival Mode and your Video is really good i am gonna try to make it almost like that :D

This is actually very similar to what I did with the castle back in 2015 when the game came out, I had to use wood foundations and shacks since the workshop DLCs weren’t out yet and I also didn’t have the powered doors, but the artillery and turrets are mostly in the same spots, the crafting area is behind the big metal door that’s a part of Ronnie’s quest, buildings are set up against the main wall of the fort for your traders, turned the areas under the artillery platforms into the barracks, the only major difference is that I turned one of those into my personal room and had a larger farm and hit the population cap, my farm was also more geared towards vegetable starch production.

There was a mod I saw awhile back that oxhorn talked about called scrap scrap. It makes all the stuff on the ground scrap able, and you may want to look into it for some of the stuff around this fort. It may work on every settlement too, since it's a mod, but I don't use mods because I don't know which ones will glitch and destroy whatever progress I have.

Simple and well done

Very nice. I don't remember my decorations of settlements but I know I've spent hours on them. I haven't played in a year or 2 but I'm getting back into it from scratch. I got so drunk yesterday I already fucked up some important NPC storylines lol.

Scrapping or Storing items from your inventory (guns, armor, junk) reduces the Size meter allowing you to build more. You just have to drop the items on the ground then go into Workshop and Scrap or Store them. I've been dropping and scrapping my junk this way for some time because I like to see how much of each building material I have and may need, before I learned about this. My size meter is pretty much always at zero now. I hear if you overbuild using this method it can cause framerate and crashes though as the game needs to render everything in the area. I've only been playing for a few months, so you probably already knew this, but I figured I'd share. 😁 On your point though, I recently fully built a settlement at Oberland Station and was surprised how quickly I filled the meter by just building junk walls and a walkway.

Good at three-story Barrak on the Northern wall opening, so the only entrance is on the Southside. I placed missile turrets on the East wall because of The brotherhood. My castle can hold 52 minutemen.
