Here's an even better method to check out: ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
The bombs fell in 2077....
Heya, about to check that out. :)
Love the videos.
I never heard this talked about, so I figured I'd mention it.
On pc I have found that the rug glitch on a generator has a range limit. The true wire glitch doesn't however.
So if I attach generator to a connector and keep it within about 30ft or so it will stay connected. But if I love it out of it the wire disappears.
Great videos!
why do you attach wires to the conduits? they have a range they transfer power
@@michaelgoff9527 The conduits do radiate power in a 2x2 grid. But with wires, they also carry power to other conduits further away that can radiate power. That way you don't have to keep building more and more generators. And also some items require a direct connection to a wire. Hope that helps.
wow please make a how to viseo on how u restored that house
Your videos are the only reason my settlements look and function well XD
😁
I've been playing 4 for years, but after finally deciding to really get into settlement building with the recent update, your videos have been the most informative for me! Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant, Paul! I find myself smiling a lot watching your videos, your enthusiasm is infectious, thanks again!!
Paul, have you found a way to pillar glitch through flooring? I've added roofs and floors to my Sanctuary Hills houses (thank you) but I'm trying add walls inside to replace missing ones, but the pillar and ladders won't sink below.
@@scotth3276 perhaps if you had them placed on top of the pillar and then sink it. 🤷♂️ Just a thought
I just started watching your videos and I’ve been playing fallout for a years now and never wanted to build because I was never good at it but watching your videos has helped so so much!!!! Thank you for all the tips and tricks and small history lessons!!😁
Bethesda should have consulted with an electrician, or even a first year apprentice, instead of whatever *idiot savant* came up with the wiring scheme.
*Slow clapping*
*Slow clapping speeds up*
Go ahead and read my comment
You mean your comment here, on a seperate comment you made on this video? @@jesikebiking
I've only done it for 3 months and I think even I could give them a pointer or two.
@@RunescapeElijah6578 yeah same, but the corpses are piling up
Oh my, this was so awesome helpful for me, cant even tell. Thanks for resurrect my obsession for FO4 Settlement building. Over 2000h ingame, and no ending. =)
I get it. 😉
I've said it before, and I'll say it again here: yours are the very best Fallout build videos around. Your explanations, editing, and general friendliness are tremendous!! Superb work, notable in both quality and content.
General Dave would like to know your location
I 100% agree loving his videos and the only reason I bought the GOTY edition of the game
It says what dlc the items are from in the top right section of said items space in the hud. The gear is vault-tec workshop, bottle is nuka-world, fishing boat is far-harbor, wrench is contraptions, and I think it's a deathclaw head for wasteland workshop
You are correct. I just have to memorize what the symbols mean. LOL.
Man, I know not all people like Fallout 4, but the fact still remains, for these many videos to be created solely for building settlements is truly amazing! Loving Fallout 4 so far! Thank you for these tutorials. You must really enjoyed playing this game. Amazing settlements, here I come!
I just started playing FO4. I've owned it since it came out and all it's DLC. After 400 hours into Starfield I figure I would try out FO4. It might go down as my personal favorite game ever. It has so much and so many cool things. I do think its better than Starfield and I love Starfield.
Amazing video. Great quality, and really helpful. Thanks!
You should have more subscribers, for me this channel is gold.
I absolutely love your attitude! 🙌🙌☺️

Greetings! Thankyou for the great class, Skooled Zone! I've learned how to use the rug glitch for decorations, but since it doesn't work for building components (for me), I had never thought of trying it with things like generators. Now I'm off to do my homework...! ;)
Yeah, the rug glitch doesn't work with things that snap like building components.
Man, lovin' your vids. Lots of good information. Thanks, keep it up,!!!!
OMG. just discovered this series and i absolutely LOVE IT lol. so very helpful and user friendly, it improves my settlement knowledge with every min i watch. thank you so very much for the in depth explinations and techniques on how to apply all of these skills!! you remind me of william strife for minecraft lol, cant wait to watch the rest of these videos! thanks again and keep up the awesome work! we need more people like you on youtube!
That real wire glitch is really cool. I'm going to use that in my new settlement I have been working on. Your building skills have improved mine. Thank you!
👌
I tried this in hangman alley and had no luck. Is that settlement just weird? Anyone have trouble there? I play survival so thats always my home base.
Hey Paul, I like your voice it reminds me of a cartoon character
Haha, thanks. Which cartoon character? Hopefully not Goofy. 😅
Skooled Zone it reminds me of a lower version of shaggy from scoobydoo 😂
Skooled Zone and will you do a lightning video for no mod shop class not the neon signs but just lighting big buildings
Haha, Shaggy from Scoobydoo. I'll take it. As for lighting, I have a couple lighting videos coming up. Stay tuned!
@@Openchipmunk79 Getting around to some old responses. In case you haven't seen it, here's that lighting tips video: ruclips.net/video/fRJHTK1f4cw/видео.html
Omg THANK YOU! There are a lot of other YT videos on this, but nobody else explains it better
I appreciate your videos, especially your down to earth way of explaining things :D as well as even throwing in a bit of history like you did in this video.
Still trying to figure out why 35 idiots disliked this video??? Skooled Zone is simply awesome! What in the world is there not to like???????
This is just a suggestion, but maybe you can make tutorials on different type of character builds. Like maybe a pistol only build
That's not really my forté, but I did do one character build tutorial already that you might like: ruclips.net/video/C6-lWQe6dBQ/видео.html
holy christ this is amazing. Found your videos yesterday and have binging them.
Helped a lot. I actually didn't know this. Thanks Paul!
Awesome Cole!
DUDE, youre the best!!!
was legit really surprised at using the sign, that's possibly one of the most surprising things i've seen you do. You have some awesome commitment man!
Thanks man. I'm glad that builders of all levels can still learn a thing or two from my videos. :)
I can imagine someone freaking out trying to find were they buried that generator like a dog that lost his bone digging up the whole yard 🤣🤣🤣
I did not know about the signs working as vertical rugs. Thanks!
New subscriber here. Found a link to you from a discussion in a Fallout subreddit (in case you wanna know where fans are coming from)
I've gotta say, you are talented at this. It's not just the knowledge, which you do have. But videos like these CAN be a chore to get through. However, you really know how to make it interesting the whole way through and the biggest reason I subscribed is your personality.
You just seem like a chill, cool guy. Funny, personable. You don't insult the viewers intelligence nor do you drag things out before getting to the point. Idk, it's like I was listening to an old friend explain it to me, if that makes sense! 22 minutes flew right on by. New, big fan. Stay cool and thank you!
I really appreciate that man 👊 And welcome aboard!
Hey man. Just wanted to say thanks for all these. Super helpful for someone like me that resisted diving in to Fallout because of some of the complexities with placing objects.
It's really cool to hear that James!
This is hard to understand.
I'm trying to build Wi-Fi. I can do the rug and sign part, but the rest my son and I are having trouble with. Please help?
Are you having trouble with the true wire glitch? To go WiFi, see this video: ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
I remenber back in the 50's I 'd visit my grandparents in West Virginia (they lived in a coal company house) my grandpa
was a coal miner and the wiring was knob and tube wiring up on the ceiling all over the place' and the lights were rotary
not flip like today .And yes they would drill holes into the wall to go to another room PS the house was built in the early
1900's 1902 -1903
Is it me or youre actually 65+ years old. Cuz it says in your comment "back in the 50s I'd visit my grandparents" or im just not that good in english?
@frank grimes no, im just making sure. I really hope it doesnt offend anyone tho
Kenny Wiratrijaka I doesn’t offend anyone your all good
Its 2020....
If you were born in 1959 you would be 60, so theres no way you remember visiting anybody in the 50's.
Your a liar and you have been called out.
@@TheGiggleWarehouse 60 year olds can't play a game?
Another great video paul. And I will use this in my settlement. Is there a way to make it look like there is a mirror in a bathroom as there not in the building menu and i don't want to use mods?
Actually I showed two different kinds of no-mods mirrors in my Vault 42 build. And that's definitely one of the upcoming tutorials! :)
You should never teach storing a generator in a room, house, or closet. Game or no game some stupid person will do it in real life. I have wired all my settlements and the generators are all outside the homes. You see the fumes, that will kill you and Bethesda should make a point of this and have health points drop if you or any game characters get near fumes or if fumes collect in a closed in box. I prefer to place them outside, and conduit on the outside wall. The power will radiate half the downstairs rooms. Idid try the "Sign-trick" Thanks. Otherwise a great video series lot's of tips!
Good point about silly people in real life. However, there are even ways to bury generators in the game: ruclips.net/video/Emv1ZfOOFdQ/видео.htmlm36s
I’m sure this has been answered a million times already, but I’m getting a late start. Has the wire glitch for PS4 been patched? I can’t seem to get it to work. Thanks
It hasn't been patched. But here's an even better technique: ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
Cool, glad I found this video.
To know wich dlc belongs each item just look At the little simbol on it, a gear means is vault tec workshop for example
Yup, that ended up being Tip #10 in this video: ruclips.net/video/D76HR039mDI/видео.html
Have you ever been told that you sound like a fusion of a young Matt Damon and a young Ben Affleck?
Haha, nice! Never been told that before. Been told I sound like a fusion of Jack Black and Owen Wilson.
9:15 actually fall out takes places a few hundred years from now. (Like 2100 something) When the war starts.
There tech is just stunned and based on the 50's.
CaptainsEyePatch yes but the things we are given are used in the 1900’s
the bombs fell in 2077. most games take place roughly 200 years after the bombs fell. all the tech is highly reminiscent of the cold war because thats what inspired fallout’s background. they just kinda “what if we learned the secrets to fusion and nuclear power before we advanced society.” and boom fallout
It has been my experience with the last glitch that you don't officially need to be pointing at the conduit, only making sure that it is behind the wire you are highlighting. I spent lots of time trying to get as close as I could, only to later realize that placement was the key.
Keep up the lessons, they should help our building community greatly. I find that if you can firmly embrace no mod building, then modded building is a breeze. Only area of school I'm missing is the double black for manufacturing. That stuff still gives me fits. :)
You're absolutely right about the placement factor. I just figured I'd give the surefire method in the video to avoid any "it doesn't work" comments, because looking at the conduit with the reticle works 100% of the time. Know what I mean? But I'll include your point in the upcoming viewer suggested tips video. :) Also, I can totally relate about the manufacturing. That and the logic gates give us all headaches, so those lessons will definitely be included near the end of the mini-series.
Here in 2024 love all these videos
Whyy do my wire glitched wires keep breaking :(
Not sure but this is a better way! ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
Electricity started to be broadly generated in Australia in 1885 (when a power station was built in Sydney), but the first wired light was installed in Sydney in 1879. Just a fun fact. :D
2023
Hey keep up the good work! This helps alot
Right on!
Skooled Zone Yay! You just made my day!
@10:45 Unighoul. Nice.
You are Genius. That's it!
I've seen other videos on this sort of thing but nobody else bothered to explain what, how, or why it works. You, sir, are truly a Master Builder. No double decker couches for you!
You should make a power armour stand with flames power armour in the shop class and write "welding suit" above it. It could be for welding lessons for the students.
Oh and it could be cool if you made an x with power conduits above the class.
Unfortunately you can't rotate the conduits upwards to form words. That would be cool if you could. As for the welding suit idea, I like it! I'll add that to the next "classroom" I build for the black diamond lessons. 👍
You are awesome, thanks!
Idk what I’m doing wrong. I put the gen on a rug. I wire the gen to the object. I click the rug to move the gen but if I place the gen where the wire would face collision, the wire gets detached and stored.
Edit: Ok so it worked with the conduit but not a radar beacon 🤷♀️
Right on. Here's an even better method to check out: ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
@@SkooledZone thank you so much for the reply! I’ve managed some pretty cool tricks in my settlements bc of your vids! One other question - I asked on another vid but don’t think you saw it - how do you prevent your non-workshop items from getting knocked over or disappearing? I put so much effort into one of my settlements and everything was ruined a week later. I don’t keep any settlers there either.
@@rage.kitten Yeah, I usually respond to comments so I may not have seen it. So the falling or disappearing junk items are a real issue with the game. It happens to the best of us. I did come up with one trick that may help. Check out Tip #14 of this video: ruclips.net/video/D76HR039mDI/видео.html
I have seen that only objects like lambs are clumped in the wall and moved to the construction box! The conduits and the generators if you store the rugs remain in energy connection! Do I am mistaken???
A FRANKENCORN !!! ... LOL !!!
I'm an incredibly late comer to the Fallout franchise but I gotta thank you for all the tips! My settlements look amazing now!
Awesome! It's never too late. :)
Ty. Now I think I can use this glitch. I tried but it wouldn't spark. But Ididn't focus on the conduit.
"Frankenhorn" 😂.
Thanks so much for this.Earned a sub
Nice. Welcome aboard!
Really useful, I'll have fallout in 1-2 weeks.
I havent trired it but can you mount a power conduit to a ceiling light fixture and then move it? Just an idea. It might not work.
I've just Restarted playing Fallout 4, so I'm kinda excused of being 4 year late :)
I just wanna say big thanks, man, this video helped a lot, especially for wiring the switches to automated doors or gates in order to open/close them from the inside. Just so you know and out of sheer curiosity, about the "sign version" of the wire glitch, it wouldn't work if you use as a base the curved concrete wall. As a matter of fact if you place a sign and a conduit on it, when you try to move it along, the sign moves but the conduit won't.
I finally downloaded this game about a month or so ago n I love your videos there so educational and informative but relaxed and funny at the same time thank you
Great tip! I have used this to help wire up a couple settlements. I used to have my wiring running all over and messy. I tried to clean it up using the conduit pipes on top of buildings and such to try and hide it, but i ran into issues when things required a wire. Thanks for the help. Keep it up!
I would add a comment and ask anyone who loves pauls videos and can offer some help. I have trouble using the PC to place items and manipulate them when in build mode and still have not gotten the place anywhere mod to work which really sucks I spent 4 hours trying to do basic placement and still failed to achieve the results I had tried to get. if you can please help on manipulating items. I am using a few mods like thematic and practical, OC decorator, and a few others I can not use a ton of them because my slow computer and Windows 10 just are a frustration in games not working. yet alone the basic windows 10 interfaces and apps. thank you all for helping me and supporting paul. by the way i have made a ton of batch files to add items to the game in console and would be happy to share bat files to add ammo and some items that are either in limited supply or you just need a certain item in a tight spot and can't remember where to go in the common wealth to collect the items.
Can anyone confirm this for me? I have found that if you use the wire glitch on the sorters from contraption workshop dlc they stop sorting and everything just passes right though them. Any way around this? Or am i mistaken?
Perhaps you would be interested in making some updates for the building Technics 🤔👍
Thanks for making these videos, they're very helpful! I plan on putting this knowledge to use in Fallout 76!
Can we have the 'expand the memory and power of your computer so as to be able to take advantage of all the new glitches'.. er, glitch?
Just rewatched for “frankencorn”.
😆
in some cases you won't need wire to bridge power you can just put a conduit near the generator and it will utilize the radiated power from the generator ex. red rocket truck stop i have a generator on the top that radiates power to my lower floor and all i need is a conduit placed under the generator and one directly under that in the garage I'd like to see what you can do with that trick... that is if you haven't already. I'm way behind on your vids but i like what i see so far keep up the good work
Thank you
5 yrs too late 😅 may be a patch or something but my dogmeat laid in his doghouse when i put it behind redrocket building, maybe because thats his true home 🤷
Where are you getting those white wire terminals from? I just have the first handful of the grey ones. Thanks
👍👍
I tried your true wire glitch for the super reactor at Sanctuary Hills and where you said to point the dot and highlight the wire and press 'attach wire', for me nothing happens - the wire doesn't flash, there is no sound effects - NOTHING!!! Yes I'm getting frustrated, hours spent and achieved nothing. I've given up on having cleaned up settlement with no wires showing. Its great that your other students can get it to work, but i'm doing your methods step-by-step and the results are falling flat. Now cue your followers to rain insults at me.
One step may have confused you. You have to point the dot at the conduit not the wire, but have the wire be highlighted in the periphery. Hope that helps.
Thanks for explaining this. I used a variant of it to wire Sunshine Tidings. I started with putting a generator and recruitment beacon on the roof of the big building with the workbench. Wires are all high above, and out of the way.
Actually, you might want to try this instead :) ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
Skooled Zone Unfortunately I don't have any of the DLC, so no pillars=no pillar glitch. But, I did discover that the spiked poles can be used for similar effect. They seem to be limited to outdoors, or at least an area without a roof. I use them to even out fences, or to sink buildings that are on uneven ground.
Thank you for your wisdom!
You are so welcome
🙄🙄 Wait, what?! 😮😯😲😳😳😳 I just started playing Fallout 4 again recently, I have never, ever, seen anything quite like this! I have been placing so many conduits trying to caox power indoors etc. You sir have just won the internet! 🙂😃 I happened on your video about how to utilise a logic switch and have discovered all of this wiring sorcery and am agog! Subbed and and am off to binge watch the rest. My gast has never been so flabber'd 🤩 You are a legend!
Nice! And welcome aboard. 😃 Once you master the regular wire trick, this will blow your mind even more: ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
My favorite wiring trick. Take a warehouse floorboard, place an up warehouse conduit on it. Then snap a down conduit to that. The down goes through the board and you can bring electricit into a room or out of a generator shack
Nice. Here's another good one: ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
If there is a hole in the floor of the second story you could bridge rugs over and and place the conduit under them and then try and move it. Haven’t done it myself but it is an idea
After playing “No Man’s Sky” for a few years now and finally going back to Fallout4 following the tv series I realise just how bad Bethesda really are compared to Hello Games.
For such a small development team HG blows Bethesda out of the water with their “in game” build mechanics plus the number of constant and free updates every few months to bring NMS up to and now far exceeding expectations.
Bethesda on the other hand seem to have never listened to ANY of the criticisms regarding probably the most frustrating aspect in the game, despite it being a major component. They’d much rather fleece their customers and cash in with additional DLC’s for basic stuff, much of which should have been freely included in the vanilla game.
Thankfully there are people like you Paul who actually make this aspect of the game somewhat playable though there’s still plenty of room for improvement by the developers.
I, like many others I’m sure, thank you for this series of tutorials.👍
I agree with you and the best way to make the game fun was to use all the glitches to our advantage in creative ways. :-)
Sir, you have earned yourself a new subscriber... I'll make sure to check out you newer stuff in the near future
Right on. Welcome aboard!
A Ceiling light could be used as a canvas for putting wires through the ceiling.
You should use a 3 power generators smoke and make a chimney and rug glitch the generator into the wall
Hm, this doesn’t seem to work as well now as it does in ur video... can’t travel distance anymore .. but u can still get it thru walls! Which is good! Thank you for the video!
Try this :) ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
how did you get jaws?
love you classes thank you.
🐺 ruclips.net/video/k0f-dAV0QIA/видео.html
thank you that was great.
👊
doesn't work for me. as soon as I remove the sign or the rug the conduit disappears
i've never really been concerned about being able to build anything too clean or fancy, after all it is a post-apocalyptic universe, lol. but the one thing that has driven me nuts has been getting juice run cleanly and logically from the outside (where the generators tend to be) to the inside, especially since those cool electric signs that must be wired up to work. you have opened my eyes, friend, lol, thank you, thank you, thank you!
You're very welcome man! 👌
Amazing video! Just discovered your channel today and im very impressed since your doing everything without mods!! #Salute to you sir!
Really appreciate it 👌
I need your HUD color, it's mesmerizing
I'm sorry, but I can't get the wire glitch to work. Followed the video instructions. I'm using the exact same rug and conduit you are using. But can't get it to work Not only won't it go through walls - the range is the SAME as it you were just connecting between 2 pylons/conduits.
Fallout 4 GOTY Edition. PS4, but using on a PS5. Or has the glitch been fixed
The glitch shouldn't have been fixed. They haven't fixed anything since like 2018. It just takes practice. Try this better method instead: ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
I ran a power wire from the reactor room in Vault 88 to the Vault Water Purifier. Outstanding!
Awesome. Now here's an even better method to check out :) ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
I just started Fallout 4 about 6 days ago and it might be the best game ive ever played. After 410 hours into Starfield i decided to try FO4 cause i never played a Fallout game and ive been missing out big time. The funny thing is i have owned FO4 and all of its DLC since it came out years ago. I cant get this rug glitch to work. Did they fix it? Im on series X so im not sure if that matters? The settlement glitch works ,which has to be one of the best exploits ever and makes building much better cause we dont have a limit to building. Im a 43 year old gamer and FO4 is just a masterpiece so far. From building settlements which i love to crafting cool stuff and an actual breathing living video game world with tins of encounters and characters. Im 50 hours into the game and havent even met up with Valentine yet and have only done 2 main missions. FO4 may go down as my favorite game ever.
You know, I would be very surprised if Bethesda patched anything in Fallout 4 for the X series. You might just need a refresher: ruclips.net/video/tKLNPicHmBU/видео.html
I dunno if it's already been said, but I know that dogmeat can be told to go in his kennel... So can't Jaws be told the same???
The regular junkyard dogs will go inside but the wolves just seem to stare at it. lol...
hey Paul easy way to tell what DLC an item is from, look at the symbol next to them in the menu at the bottom, vault symbol means vault tec workshop, deathclaw head means wasteland workshop, etc,
Totally. I keep forgetting that. Thanks.
This is awesome
👍
I recently started coming across your videos while peeking at all the fun stuff FO4 related. My settlements are much nicer without all of the power lines and I've even made my defenses more aesthetic without a loss of effectiveness. Great work.
👍
Nice. Another wall rug that you might not think of using, is an actual wall! A vault wall to be exact. When you attach the vault wall conduit to a vault wall, you turn the wall into your "sign". I find it works best with the vault wall/floor combo piece since they snap better. This also works with the warehouse garage door, if you want a switch or whatnot on the inside. Any wall that allows you to move it with the wall conduits attached should work as well.
Example: Place a vault floor piece, and snap a wall/floor piece to it. Place a vault wall conduit on the wall section. Behind the wall (the backside), place a pylon. You can't wire straight through the wall as normal (yet). Select the wall/floor piece and rotate it so that the vault wall conduit it facing the pylon without any collisions. Connect the pylon to the conduit as normal. Then, just select the wall/floor combo piece and snap it back to where you want it. The wire will now pass through the wall.
Definitely Court! In fact, I used the vault conduit in several places around Vault 42. The only problem with using the vault walls as conduits is that if there is any break in the pattern, the connection breaks too. I wanted to be able to use other kinds of floor and wall textures here and there, so I ended up having to hide pipe conduits around the back of the walls anyway. But as far as using any old walls as the "sign" with the sign glitch wiring, that's definitely a tool for the toolbox! 👍
I hear ya. I thought I'd throw that in here anyways. I mainly use it for purely vault builds. It comes in handy with knowing that the residential and maintenance (red and blue) rooms/tunnel hallways can have the vault conduits mounted to the outside flat surface rather than the interior (just to hide the wires and conduits). I can't take credit for the vault wall conduit setup, as I forgot that I had watched a video on it a few months before I "stumbled" upon it accidentially during one of my builds.
Also worth mentioning is how great the concrete build set is. Another well known FO4 no-mod user showed this when the concrete first came out. Concrete walls (and most foundations that can sink into the ground), can be used to cover up various items. For instance, if I place a long conduit (the pipe looking one) on a floor so that it overhangs the floor, I can then place a concrete wall directly over it. It snaps to the floor piece as usual and the conduit looks like it just passes through the wall. Most walls would detect teh collision and not snap to the floor. But, the walls/foundations that can clip into the ground ignore most player placed objects, to a degree. Due to other collision variables, this doesn't always work how you want it to. This is especially handy when you don't want to rug glitch or group select items that are in cramped quarters. Another use for this is to place a generator, and then place a foundation directly on top of it. Hiding it similar to rug glitching it into a wall.
As another side note. I'm trying to recreate a security door using the conveyor belt switches. I can't seem to find the vid for it. When done successfully, it looks awesome. It's just very time consuming and takes a lot of patience to line everything up just right. It basically has conveyor switches stacked on top of each other with a delay switch in between each switch connection. You end up with a V shaped barred door that opens either from the top or the bottom, depending on how you wired it. Looks kind of like a zipper when opening/closing. It requires a lot of space to setup, stacking floors on top of each other and lots of rugs! The person who came up with this could have benefited greatly from knowing that you can "bury" things underground.
Yeah, the concrete is super forgiving. Not just the concrete but a lot of foundations are like that. In my Vault 42 build, I buried the conduits for the entire outside patio in the floor underneath by just placing barn foundations over them. They go all the way from the missile turret to the spotlight and then back out again: ruclips.net/video/P6n1-POCUrM/видео.htmlm36s
I was also able to bury the entire junk car that I couldn't scrap below the barn foundations by just snapping them together over it. Pretty cool. Also, I think the RUclipsr you're talking about that did the v-shaped bar door was Jug. I don't like to advertise a lot of other RUclipsrs, but he's the man. As you said, that trick is very time consuming and takes a lot of patience. Probably more patience than I even have.
As much as i would love to credit that "security door" build to Jug, it wasn't him. It was someone else that had vids at the same time, like noreswapwns and eso, but, not as "famous". You might have seen the vids. I only mentioned it because you might have seen it and know what I'm talking about. I was hoping you might jog my memory for that. If you come across it, let me know.
And as far as moving those inanimate objects, didn't they remove that function? I know that the beds at certain settlements can't be moved any longer. I hated that patch. I know they removed the ability to "remove" beds from settlements. I just wasn't aware how bad they nerfed that "glitch".
Wait, what? This wasn't Jug's original idea? ruclips.net/video/cIopiJqTCBk/видео.htmlm32s
Anyone else playing on PS4 know if the wire glitch has been patched recently? I've been trying to do it the past couple of days but it won't bring up attach wire when I try to do it. Rug and sign glitch still work but I prefer the true wire glitch.
Everything should still work unless you have some mods installed: ruclips.net/video/xKX4E1yQkig/видео.html
If you don't use mods, try skipping right to wireless power ;-) ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
Just FYI I don't know if you actually know this or just ignored it, but for generators placed in walls or underground, even if they are destroyed, you don't need to do anything to them. I place all my generators inside walls to save space and whenever there's an attack I usually notice the power supply dip by 1-2 generators, but I have like 15 all hidden and I don't know which one is broken lol. I'm too lazy to pull them all out and check, so I just leave it, and when I go back to that settlement I have full power. There's a formula I can't remember but the settlers will repair idk 1-5 broken things per in game day(reliant on how many settlers the place has) so 1 generator will be fixed anyways.
Also, for conduits I hide those in walls by attaching them to the wooden floor concrete block, it will slide through the wall making a small tip or none of the conduit visible at all, and you can scrap or store the block from the other side of the wall, so you can wire your house, place inside the wall, then move the generator into a wall too, and you have all the power you want with nothing ever showing :)
Hmm. Interesting. I didn't know settlers will repair generators and stuff on their own. Good to know.
