I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost my account password. I love any help you can offer me!
@Zakai Jalen Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Almost 2023 nd this guy is still teaching ppl new things. Lol I just found out about this channel month ago nd damn am I learning a lot to help this settlements I'm building. I'm still not really good at any of them except the rug glitch nd idk but I can never get the pillar glitch to work for me when I select all, but I'm sure I'll get it down some day. Thanks for making these awesome videos, hope you accomplished your goal of being able to do RUclips fulltime.
It's June 27, 2024, and I'm about a month into Fallout 4 (GOTY) for PS4. I picked it up at a Gamestop for about $10. I'm hooked, having fun, and having a great time. I found your channel and will have to redo my previous settlements and use your tips, tricks, and excellent ideas on all my next settlements. Thanks for your great content.
One thing I like to do is to set up sub-centrals, i. e. conduits in various places in a settlement which I then connect to the main conduit. I then connect everything in that area to the sub-central. It saves me having to run all the way back to the main one every time, especially in larger settlements.
...and then you can cover the conduits with stuff, like crates that you rug glitch on top of them. Leave the rugs in place to make the cover easy to move if you need to adjust the wiring.
I seriously appreciate your video. I only recently learned of the true wire glitch, but I never thought of using it to run wires underground/out of sight. I couldn't stand having all those conduits and pylons and wiring all over the place JUST to get the settlement lit. I will ALWAYS use this method from now on in all my settlements. Thank you for Skooling this adult.
Thank you so much for these videos, I just started playing Fallout 4 after years of Skyrim plays because I wanted to try the settlement builds and the " wires everywhere" annoyed the heck outta me. You do such a wonderful job teaching.
@@SkooledZone OH yes, I've been a subscriber for a long time but only just found these and now that you have my attention I'll be watching more. The wireless trick is awesome. Thanks!
I usually run streetlights around my settlements and I use them to connect the building lights and run power across the roofs. Definitely not as clean but gets the job done.
I gave up being a purist soon after getting the game and in the past few months added Sim Settlements as an alternative to extending the game play. Even using SS, I still like to build out my settlements with other structures and I have wire dangling all over the place so this gem is well received by this player. Thanks.
12 minutes in, and I still don't have any idea how you are hiding wires??? Is there some point in this video where you actually explain how this is done? Because "stare at the wire" isn't working.
Bastian, this was a sequel video to the original wire glitch video. I mentioned that a few times in the video, but here's the link that's in the description above that should answer your question: ruclips.net/video/36lgmEaprio/видео.html
To do the glitch, you just have to position yourself with the wire in front of the conduit. So you are looking at the wire with the conduit behind the wire, with the wire still highlited. Press space bar and you will have a invisible wire, that will become visible once you attach it to another conduit. Hope that helps.
I have built some insane settlements without this glitch. I have maxed out the building cap on quite a few settlements. This is going to be a game changer! Thank you for sharing.
Ugh! That picket fence in Sanctuary! Spent waaaaay too long trying to scrap it to no avail. 😥 Curse you Bethesda!! 😨😂😂. Love your videos!! Thank you for the time you invest in them. It really shows in the quality!
John W Pipes I went crazy. Literally. Soooo annoying... Oh Well just remember not to scrap the posts, atleast then it wont float. Guess i could build new ones agian.. didnt think of that. I dont think you can build picket fences right off tho, like it is unlocked from a magazine or something.
lol. . . They are tricky. But, you CAN scrap all of them that are hidden in the hedges. It takes some time, and usually on accident. Sometimes, in order to get them to highlight, you have to actually not look at them, directly. Keep them in your field of view, while in build mode, and just keep wandering back and forth. You've probably already tired this. But, eventually, you can find that one, tiny spot, that makes it highlight, so that you can scrap it. Looking at the ground seems to help me the most. That, or I am trying to scrap the fence next to it, and the post highlights. The post are the tough ones though.
I use a ps4, and tried mods to get rid of the picket fence piece, doesn't scrap with STS or USO... not sure I'll be able to scrap it even with mods. I'm resolved to just not scrap the broken fence around it next playthrough... just like that one bit of dirt under the bottom door from the drugstore into vault88
@ B. B. Rodriguez. . . .In Sanctuary Hills, there are only 2 pieces of fence that you can't remove. Those being the ones on the Eastern most lot and are placed outside the normal boundaries. I'm talking about the backyard that kind of "juts' out around the old backyard. Even with the "scrap everything" mod, they may not be able to delete. Even on pc, they are problematic (using console commands). Everything else, like the fences in-bedded into the hedges, CAN be scrapped. Without mods! Like I said, it takes patience, and some good luck trying to get them to highlight. My best solution, is to go into build mode and look at the base of the fences and move back and forth, scanning the area for objects that can be scrapped. Or looking at the fence from an angle (my best solution, to date). Eventually, you will see the option to scrap. Once you do that, hone in on that location, until it let's you scrap "something". BEFORE you scrap anything, ensure that the fence is the object being highlighted. You can do it. It's just a pain worst than Preston Garvey. Happy Hunting!
Court Beckius I’ve tried to scrap that one post too many times and I just can’t get it. Tried everything. Works eventually with the other posts but that one I think behind the ss’s house is impossible to get. It’s the one that’s right on the inside corner of the hedge.
There needs to be a mod where whenever you engage in melee combat that scene from "the cable guy" starts playing and when your character hits it makes the noise Jim carry makes.
so , i am tots watching these out of sequence, you basically set up the parameters for the wire distance by attaching it close to the origin point, then glitch it by grabbing the wire and moving it way past the point it should. Awesome
@@SkooledZone I am, in my current build, using a mood called mini generators. I just attach one near the item requiring the power and run a wire from there then use the pillar glitch to sink it into the ground under it out the wall behind it..
A quick note on wire length: the game lets you initially string it to any length you like, but the engine will often "forget" longer wires on cell load--from testing, it starts getting iffy around 200 yards or so. The wires don't go away; they just stop working. Easy enough to fix--just pick up and drop the attached conduit to remind the game there's a wire there and it resets.
That's a great tip SarDeliac. Sometimes I have to do that with regular lights too if I've gone way over the size limit and they turn off on their own. By the way, I think this is the first time you've commented on my channel. Nice to see a talented fellow builder drop by. 🍻
Omg this is so brilliant. I don't know why I didn't think of this. I would love to see a shop class about how you'd do power through vault 88 (since the power runs through the floor). I'm building my vault and running into weird glitches where things aren't lighting up and should be.
Thanks Matty. And I know what you're talking about with the vault-tec conduits. The problem with those is that all the floor or wall types have to be the same. So if there's ever a break, it breaks the connection. So be honest, I don't even bother with them. They're too much hassle. I just hook up the super-reactor to whatever I want using the method in this video. 👌
I'm not gonna lie you just laid some wisdom on me. I didn't even know you could do this. So naturally because of that, their are wires all over my settlements.
I like how you think and how you go about explaining your methods. Very rarely can I watch entire playlists but I find watching yours much easier... Great work Dude! 🤘🤜
I've been building settlements forever, but I don't know a thing about electrical stuff IRL, so my settlements look awful with wires hanging everywhere, running zig zag in the weirdest places, lol. Love your videos in general for all the cool ideas, but especially bc I learn what to do with the electrical bits! :)
Right on Sam. But a "cheat" would be more like using a PC command to give yourself infinite caps. My tips are more like overcoming shortcomings in the game. This wiki article talks about the differences in exploits :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_exploits#Common_types
Great way of using the wire glitch. I never thought of running all the conduits underground so that you didn't see them. But i made my more of a feature on my building. Hopefully i'll have it completed soon and then i can show you my full building.
THAT WAS A GREAT VID. Thank you. Now i realy want to start building. I work at a power plant for 30 years now, and i was NOT going to have wires hanging all over the place. Patrik Hjorth has the right idea. We call them Sub stations and MCC's ( moter control centers )
Great video dude. I'm definitely going to do this with my settlements. I like the fact you didn't cut the video on Spectacle Island and the music gave it a comical feel. You have a great channel and I hope it continues to grow.
I am screaming right now. I had 30 settlements looking like absolut trash because of all the crazy wiring! Why didn't I check out your channel 2 months ago?!?!?
Well in this particular version, you're really just running the wires underground. But in this sequel video, you _can_ actually make them go invisible: ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
I know there is a massive amount of knowledge inside these videos. But I don't wanna spoil the fun for myself. I think I will keep on using ton of wires and pylons and stuff for now on.
I've just started another playthrough and am at 20th level. Still learning and experimenting with new building techniques, thanks to you. You're awesome! 🦾
I knew this trick, but it never occurred to me to apply it quite like this. I like the realism of generators and pylons, but practically adding and using power can lead to some really ugly configurations. So I think I'm going to start wiring my settlements like this instead. Cheers.
After reading lots of comments about people claiming the "wire glitch" only works underground, I can confirm that it does work above ground too. An example being to wire 2 street lights together using the "wire glitch". Normally there is a limit on how far apart 2 objects can be wired together, this limit is removed when using the "wire glitch", even above ground. The wire does tend to sag quite badly if the street lights are far apart, but it still works. In case you didn't know, once you release Preston from the museum, if you make raider settlements in the commonwealth, Preston will no longer talk to you, and all of the minutemen quests become unavailable. The only way to have the Minutemen and the Raider settlements at the same time, is to leave Preston in the museum until after you have completed all the Raider objectives. He still won't talk to you until after you do "Open Season" and kill the raider bosses, but then the minutemen quests will begin.
Man I got more humor out of this one than some of your others. LOL 1 - Mama Murphy being the drink dealer. The humor in this for who don't know or haven't done the vault 88 line - the soda fountain is kind of a... drug... LOL!! So you have a user, being a dealer...full circle joke right there. 2 - "Don't want a bunch of water pumps messing up my clean river." Literally a river of rads. LOL 3 - Literally lost it on the Benny Hill music. i don't know why that song makes me laugh out loud every single time, but it really does. HAHAHAHA man....so awesome. hahah
I wanted to let you know something about the fence outside the building area. Before a certain patch I was able to hold the A button on a single piece of fence and pull all of that fence back into the settlement build area. I have a suspicion, I haven't tested yet, that if you get the issue of Picket Fences that allow you to build the fences you can do that still.
Hi Paul, I watched a lot of your videos and now I finally subscribed your channel. Thank you for all tips and tricks, it makes settlement building much more enjoyable. And I probably wouldn't know about this wire glitch without your video. I can now take my time making the Vault 88 settlement a better place, because right now it is totally ugly there. :) Thanks again!
When putting the vault tech reactor into the jungle gym in sanctuary like you have at the 3:35 mark, i have the wire going underground to the reactor the wire keeps disconnecting how do i keep it connected when putting it under ground?
Appreciate all the building advice. I'm confused on how there are different build-ables in your workshop menu than I but I have the dlcs. I think the last generator on my list is the windmill one
9:07 if you're using multiple lights/switches make sure to run them all through a terminal so you can control all switches at once instead if having to run to each one. 10:49 as for the stuff like that picket fence. you can get rid of it via console commands. (so still no mods, =D ). open the console (`) and click on the item. then type "disable" and press enter. if you selected the right item, it'll fade. then type "markfordelete" so it'd completely be removed next time that area is loaded. (if you disabled the wrong item, you can just "enable" to bring it back). course this is on pc... on xbox or ps, than no idea 19:46 there is a limit to the length of a wire if you're not using the glitch.
Great video. Love your ideas thank you. If you wire things above ground the “normal” way there is a wire length limit. Awesome to know there isn’t with the wire glitch. Thank you.
I don't know if I mentioned this earlier, but there is actually a welding mask you can get from certain BoS troopers (engineers). I don't think NPCs who wear it actually flip it down if they are doing a welding animation, but it looks pretty cool anyway.
You can also (on console) click the workshop then click Tilde (the button above tab on your keyboard) then type Scrapall (one word) and scrap everything scrapable at that settlement at one time.. But do it before you build anything as your builds will be scrapped as well..
Hi Paul. Sorry I was running a little behind on watching my You Tube videos, but I managed to watch the latest Skyrim playthrough & comment. Almost done with the Stones of Baranziah (think these may be the ones that are months old b4 I get them, but not sure). This is just what I needed to inspire me to clean up my settlements. I'm revisiting them all to give them different clothing that is armored with ballistic weave, 4 diversity & to make sure all settlers have jobs. That idea you had with the children's jungle gym dome & that generator was genius. I have yet to get used to using the glitches to my advantage, but, since I really don't have any more quests, I have all the time in the world to try things out & get acclimated. Dude. What I 😍 about you is that you are practical and totally fun and we can hear how it's also fun for you in your voice. Oh, MAN! I was dying over the Benny Hill music speed 🏃. How awesome would it be if you could look behind you and see a line of companions following quickly in a line behind you, like on that show? I kept picturing that 1 lil old man whose bald head always got pat. The timing was so perfect for the trip. And the tiny Skooled 🚌. Adorable. I love seeing ideas for using vanilla assets to make objects in the game that are broken & can't be removed, have new life. I wish we could use the pillar glitch to select dead bodies & bury the S.O.B.s underground. I also wish there were headstones or something that could be used for them to create makeshift family graveyards. Can't wait to see Sanctuary as a raider settlement. Someone mentioned that you can't have possible companions in them, though, so Preston will have to go. BUT, that means you'll have to talk to him. Or choose a different settlement to enslave. 😢
Hehe. Glad you're having fun with the episodes. And yeah, I really enjoy doing this. It's my dream job. I just wish I could hurry up and do it full-time. Seems like it's taking forever to get there. But I persevere. Still haven't decided if I'm going with the good or evil ending to Nuka World. Still mulling that over.
Not sure if you know this but the Industrial Water Pump that only work in water can be pillar glitched onto land after you place them in water...I saw it on another channel.
You know, I tried that a while back and it didn't work. But your comment inspired me to give it another try and I figured out why it didn't work the first time I tried. You have to hook up the power using the wire glitch after you pillar glitch it into the ground. So thanks man!! Now I have an Industrial Water Pump on land and I'll have to find other places to hide them since they can only be buried about halfway into the ground. ⭐
Using the double wire glitch (copyright SkooledZone) you never have to have wires ANYWHERE! Self powered items, powered switches, it's glorious. I hated wiring up, that single tip has improved my game experience ten fold.
Figures! LOL. I haven't played ahead but I knew there'd probably be some hurdle in making the minutemen into vassals. Haha. So is it possible to move Preston somewhere else temporarily, make Sanctuary a vassal settlement, and then move him back? Or is Sanctuary pretty much unable to be made into a vassal?
Skooled Zone Well in order to move him you will have to talk to him which will get him going with all those side missions. And no you can't move any companions to vassal settlements. It makes sense since these characters are all too strong willed to live as slaves to raiders.
If you're on PC and want to get rid of things like those fence posts in Sanctuary that you can't scrap, you don't need a mod, you can just open the console with the tilde key, click on the fence post to get it's unique ID number, then type "disable" (without quotation marks) into the console and hit enter, and the fence post will go poof. Have Fun :)!
Don't know if anybody else has commented about running wires underground for a long way, but try it above ground and you'll find a very definite limit. maybe the wire underground can go so far because it's out of the game world?
Guess I need to go start the vault 88 stuff so I can get that jungle gym genni. I'm guessing that's how you get the vault tec stuff u dont just automatically get it because u have the dlc.
Yup, I use that method in this video: ruclips.net/video/1mXvZYiOK5A/видео.html. The only reason I don't do that all the time is because it's challenging to get them out once they've been sunken into the ground. In case I ever need to rework some wiring, I usually just hide them instead.
How do you prevent raiders attacking your water generator and reactor. When you placed then so close too there spawn points ? I would have just sunk them entirely underground so, the can't destroy them at all.
I've learned it doesn't matter where your utilities are located. Enemies will go for turrets first, then settlers second (you being one of them). The generators are damaged in random. I've had a generator that was buried in the rock wall on one end of Vault 88 get damaged from an attack that happened on the complete other side of the settlement. LOL.
Ever since I started sinking my generators into the ground I never had any problems with them ever again. I do like your videos though. There are some good info to them. I hope you keep up the good work and have a Marry-Christmas
I wonder if you can connect a wire from sanctuary to sepctical if you disable the out of build area timer? I know that is not something you could do without a mod or console command but would be neat all the same. Power all settlements with 1 generator bank lol
Omg!!! I like Preston but I feel ya. I was level 62 & started over b/c all the factions were fighting each other & two because Preston kept me soooooo busy. There were sooooo many settlements & everybody & their momma was crying I need this & that. I will freakin' finish Sanctuary, Red Rocket & Abernathy Farm before tending to anyone else. I'm intentionally putting off the Tempine. Bluff quest. Not this time Preston but we're still cool. Lol
4 years later, I still play fallout 4 but i never watched any settlement building tips until now.. thank goodness i found this class

I'm not gonna lie you just laid some wisdom on me. I didn't even know you could do this. So naturally because of that, their are wires all over my settlements.
Actually, here's even better wisdom, hehe: ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
I like how you think and how you go about explaining your methods. Very rarely can I watch entire playlists but I find watching yours much easier... Great work Dude! 🤘🤜
Really appreciate that man! 👍
I've been building settlements forever, but I don't know a thing about electrical stuff IRL, so my settlements look awful with wires hanging everywhere, running zig zag in the weirdest places, lol.
Love your videos in general for all the cool ideas, but especially bc I learn what to do with the electrical bits! :)
Late to your videos, been playing FO4 for a long time now and just now seeing these!! Thanks!
I was thinking about subscribing and hearing Yakkity Sax pushed me over. Nice touch! *chef's kiss*
Haha, nice. Welcome aboard!
1:04 - Glad to hear I'm not the only one who has left them there.
All your videos are making the part of the game I dislike the most a lot easier!!!
Once you master the tricks, it actually becomes really fun!
I just started playing again.....lol had to enroll in your class again. I love your tips man
Holy Cow 1000+ hrs in FO4, never knew these "cheats" were possible. Good job!
Right on Sam. But a "cheat" would be more like using a PC command to give yourself infinite caps. My tips are more like overcoming shortcomings in the game. This wiki article talks about the differences in exploits :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_exploits#Common_types
Great way of using the wire glitch. I never thought of running all the conduits underground so that you didn't see them. But i made my more of a feature on my building. Hopefully i'll have it completed soon and then i can show you my full building.
Very cool. I'll be giving more details about the building contest soon. :)
Love he Benny Hill music when you sped up the video and the little skooled bus. Well done Paul, awesome lesson as usual!
THAT WAS A GREAT VID. Thank you. Now i realy want to start building. I work at a power plant for 30 years now, and i was NOT going to have wires hanging all over the place. Patrik Hjorth has the right idea. We call them Sub stations and MCC's ( moter control centers )
Very cool. So you should know all about how to wire it up. =)
Hello from 2024. Going to start a new game soon so wanted to brush up on your Tips & Tricks for Building 😀
Rock on!
This helped me emensly, pardon my grammar. I plan to use this extensively in my next play through thank you so much
Glad it helped!
Hi Paul you are definitely my favorite youtuber
same here
Thanks guys. That means a lot given how many great youtubers there are out there. 😊
Great video dude. I'm definitely going to do this with my settlements. I like the fact you didn't cut the video on Spectacle Island and the music gave it a comical feel. You have a great channel and I hope it continues to grow.
Great vid man. And I am glad we finally got to take a ride on the skooled bus 😉
Right on Jack! 🚌
LOL !!! the Benny Hill music is hilarious. excellent video again
For those that don’t know, Preston’s radiant quests are NEVER ENDING
I am screaming right now. I had 30 settlements looking like absolut trash because of all the crazy wiring! Why didn't I check out your channel 2 months ago?!?!?
Actually, here's an even better way: ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html ;-)
you're funny, loving these videos. Got FO4 a while ago, but just hadn't gotten into it past the apocalypse, but now I just might open it back up.
Right on.
I've watched this video several times but I can't figure out how to get the wire to go invisible, it made so much sense when I watched it yesterday:(
Well in this particular version, you're really just running the wires underground. But in this sequel video, you _can_ actually make them go invisible: ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
I can't unhear Matthew McConaughy when you get real into it, your videos are awesome. :D
Haha, thanks Phil. I get that a lot, along with Owen Wilson, Seth Green, and Jack Black. :D
I know there is a massive amount of knowledge inside these videos. But I don't wanna spoil the fun for myself. I think I will keep on using ton of wires and pylons and stuff for now on.
No worries, but at some point you might even want to go completely wireless! ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
10:33 I hate that piece of fence with a burning rage
Haven't watched the video yet, and bet I know exactly what fence.
I've just started another playthrough and am at 20th level. Still learning and experimenting with new building techniques, thanks to you. You're awesome! 🦾
I knew this trick, but it never occurred to me to apply it quite like this. I like the realism of generators and pylons, but practically adding and using power can lead to some really ugly configurations. So I think I'm going to start wiring my settlements like this instead. Cheers.
Tubsy man can always mock wire things
After reading lots of comments about people claiming the "wire glitch" only works underground, I can confirm that it does work above ground too. An example being to wire 2 street lights together using the "wire glitch". Normally there is a limit on how far apart 2 objects can be wired together, this limit is removed when using the "wire glitch", even above ground. The wire does tend to sag quite badly if the street lights are far apart, but it still works. In case you didn't know, once you release Preston from the museum, if you make raider settlements in the commonwealth, Preston will no longer talk to you, and all of the minutemen quests become unavailable. The only way to have the Minutemen and the Raider settlements at the same time, is to leave Preston in the museum until after you have completed all the Raider objectives. He still won't talk to you until after you do "Open Season" and kill the raider bosses, but then the minutemen quests will begin.
Sunken water pumps??!?!?!?!?! MIND BLOWN
I find your videos very awesome, and helpful as well, because I am a fellow fallout 4 player! I just had to subscribe to this awesome channel!!!😄😄😄
Man I got more humor out of this one than some of your others. LOL
1 - Mama Murphy being the drink dealer. The humor in this for who don't know or haven't done the vault 88 line - the soda fountain is kind of a... drug... LOL!! So you have a user, being a dealer...full circle joke right there.
2 - "Don't want a bunch of water pumps messing up my clean river." Literally a river of rads. LOL
3 - Literally lost it on the Benny Hill music. i don't know why that song makes me laugh out loud every single time, but it really does.
HAHAHAHA man....so awesome. hahah
Nice! Someone who gets my esoteric humor. Goes over most people's heads. 🤪
I like your choice of music for when you sped up your run across Spectal Island. Yakety Sax is an awesome and catchy tune.
😁
Watch this soon as i got the notification even tho i'm supposed to sleep 😂
I wanted to let you know something about the fence outside the building area. Before a certain patch I was able to hold the A button on a single piece of fence and pull all of that fence back into the settlement build area. I have a suspicion, I haven't tested yet, that if you get the issue of Picket Fences that allow you to build the fences you can do that still.
I know this is an old video but I recently started playing this game again and could not remember how to do this. Thanks.
love the Benny Hill theme while running across the island!
Macready always gets the Silver Shroud outfit. Always.
Hi Paul, I watched a lot of your videos and now I finally subscribed your channel.
Thank you for all tips and tricks, it makes settlement building much more enjoyable. And I probably wouldn't know about this wire glitch without your video. I can now take my time making the Vault 88 settlement a better place, because right now it is totally ugly there. :) Thanks again!
That tip about the lights earned a like from me
I love the cover of the video. Very clever
😄
When putting the vault tech reactor into the jungle gym in sanctuary like you have at the 3:35 mark, i have the wire going underground to the reactor the wire keeps disconnecting how do i keep it connected when putting it under ground?
Appreciate all the building advice. I'm confused on how there are different build-ables in your workshop menu than I but I have the dlcs. I think the last generator on my list is the windmill one
Even with the DLCs, you still need to complete their all mini-quests to unlock some items.
@@SkooledZone thank you keep up the great work!! 🤙
9:07 if you're using multiple lights/switches make sure to run them all through a terminal so you can control all switches at once instead if having to run to each one.
10:49 as for the stuff like that picket fence. you can get rid of it via console commands. (so still no mods, =D ). open the console (`) and click on the item. then type "disable" and press enter. if you selected the right item, it'll fade. then type "markfordelete" so it'd completely be removed next time that area is loaded. (if you disabled the wrong item, you can just "enable" to bring it back). course this is on pc... on xbox or ps, than no idea
19:46 there is a limit to the length of a wire if you're not using the glitch.
That is on of the coolest findings in F4 for now. Even in 2024
If you think so, you might like this even more: ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
Great video. Love your ideas thank you.
If you wire things above ground the “normal” way there is a wire length limit.
Awesome to know there isn’t with the wire glitch.
Thank you.
You got it.
I don't know if I mentioned this earlier, but there is actually a welding mask you can get from certain BoS troopers (engineers). I don't think NPCs who wear it actually flip it down if they are doing a welding animation, but it looks pretty cool anyway.
You can also (on console) click the workshop then click Tilde (the button above tab on your keyboard) then type Scrapall (one word) and scrap everything scrapable at that settlement at one time.. But do it before you build anything as your builds will be scrapped as well..
That's probably true for a PC, but I haven't figured out how to do that on an XBox One.
How many of you young'uns know the significance of the song he uses when running across Spectacle Island for the wire length experiment?
I love these videos they make me want to try harder on my settlements.
That's awesome. Glad you're enjoying the videos!
Hi Paul. Sorry I was running a little behind on watching my You Tube videos, but I managed to watch the latest Skyrim playthrough & comment. Almost done with the Stones of Baranziah (think these may be the ones that are months old b4 I get them, but not sure). This is just what I needed to inspire me to clean up my settlements. I'm revisiting them all to give them different clothing that is armored with ballistic weave, 4 diversity & to make sure all settlers have jobs. That idea you had with the children's jungle gym dome & that generator was genius. I have yet to get used to using the glitches to my advantage, but, since I really don't have any more quests, I have all the time in the world to try things out & get acclimated. Dude. What I 😍 about you is that you are practical and totally fun and we can hear how it's also fun for you in your voice. Oh, MAN! I was dying over the Benny Hill music speed 🏃. How awesome would it be if you could look behind you and see a line of companions following quickly in a line behind you, like on that show? I kept picturing that 1 lil old man whose bald head always got pat. The timing was so perfect for the trip. And the tiny Skooled 🚌. Adorable. I love seeing ideas for using vanilla assets to make objects in the game that are broken & can't be removed, have new life. I wish we could use the pillar glitch to select dead bodies & bury the S.O.B.s underground. I also wish there were headstones or something that could be used for them to create makeshift family graveyards. Can't wait to see Sanctuary as a raider settlement. Someone mentioned that you can't have possible companions in them, though, so Preston will have to go. BUT, that means you'll have to talk to him. Or choose a different settlement to enslave. 😢
Hehe. Glad you're having fun with the episodes. And yeah, I really enjoy doing this. It's my dream job. I just wish I could hurry up and do it full-time. Seems like it's taking forever to get there. But I persevere. Still haven't decided if I'm going with the good or evil ending to Nuka World. Still mulling that over.
WOAH MIND BLOWN 💥
😂 GREAT VIDEO!! :)
Not sure if you know this but the Industrial Water Pump that only work in water can be pillar glitched onto land after you place them in water...I saw it on another channel.
You know, I tried that a while back and it didn't work. But your comment inspired me to give it another try and I figured out why it didn't work the first time I tried. You have to hook up the power using the wire glitch after you pillar glitch it into the ground. So thanks man!! Now I have an Industrial Water Pump on land and I'll have to find other places to hide them since they can only be buried about halfway into the ground. ⭐
Using the double wire glitch (copyright SkooledZone) you never have to have wires ANYWHERE! Self powered items, powered switches, it's glorious. I hated wiring up, that single tip has improved my game experience ten fold.
Right on Ali! I actually renamed it the "WiFi Glitch" in the sequel video :) ruclips.net/video/O_eEipBr8as/видео.html
How do you get the Super reactor outside of the vault?
When u finish the dlc's quest or kill overseer barstow
In order to make any settlement a raider vassal, you can not have any companions in it. Therefore, you will have to move Preston if you want Sanctuary
Figures! LOL. I haven't played ahead but I knew there'd probably be some hurdle in making the minutemen into vassals. Haha. So is it possible to move Preston somewhere else temporarily, make Sanctuary a vassal settlement, and then move him back? Or is Sanctuary pretty much unable to be made into a vassal?
Skooled Zone Well in order to move him you will have to talk to him which will get him going with all those side missions. And no you can't move any companions to vassal settlements. It makes sense since these characters are all too strong willed to live as slaves to raiders.
If you're on PC and want to get rid of things like those fence posts in Sanctuary that you can't scrap, you don't need a mod, you can just open the console with the tilde key, click on the fence post to get it's unique ID number, then type "disable" (without quotation marks) into the console and hit enter, and the fence post will go poof. Have Fun :)!
That's awesome. Too bad us console users can't do that.
@@SkooledZone Well at least on console your game tends to run smoother, so you've got that going for you. :)
Have you considered using the pillar glitch to hide the Water Purifiers and generators in the hedge rows around Sanctuary?
I don't think I need any more generators after that massive reactor. ;-) But that's a good idea for people without the science perk.
You're a fracking genius.
Haha, thanks. I'm anti-fracking, but pro-genius. ;-)
Don't know if anybody else has commented about running wires underground for a long way, but try it above ground and you'll find a very definite limit. maybe the wire underground can go so far because it's out of the game world?
Guess I need to go start the vault 88 stuff so I can get that jungle gym genni. I'm guessing that's how you get the vault tec stuff u dont just automatically get it because u have the dlc.
Indeed. You have to complete all the mini-quests to be able to build above ground.
Though it been awhile still have to come to class to reminder
There's a mod called DFEP which gives you generators which look like fuse boxes and radiate up to 50 power over varying areas.
Turns out you may not need mods: ruclips.net/video/YdaR7m4gct4/видео.html
U can always put then electric conduits onto a rug and pillar glitch then into the ground to hide them use the one that go on the floor
Yup, I use that method in this video: ruclips.net/video/1mXvZYiOK5A/видео.html. The only reason I don't do that all the time is because it's challenging to get them out once they've been sunken into the ground. In case I ever need to rework some wiring, I usually just hide them instead.
The music is a great touch
How do you prevent raiders attacking your water generator and reactor. When you placed then so close too there spawn points ? I would have just sunk them entirely underground so, the can't destroy them at all.
I've learned it doesn't matter where your utilities are located. Enemies will go for turrets first, then settlers second (you being one of them). The generators are damaged in random. I've had a generator that was buried in the rock wall on one end of Vault 88 get damaged from an attack that happened on the complete other side of the settlement. LOL.
Ever since I started sinking my generators into the ground I never had any problems with them ever again. I do like your videos though. There are some good info to them. I hope you keep up the good work and have a Marry-Christmas
I wonder if you can connect a wire from sanctuary to sepctical if you disable the out of build area timer? I know that is not something you could do without a mod or console command but would be neat all the same. Power all settlements with 1 generator bank lol
Exactly, only with a mod. But if it works, let us know. :D
I love these videos. You've made them your own lol
How are the wires so long? Is it proportional to the size of the generator? Or because of the underground glitch?
Wonder if you could add a hollowed rock to cover that one conduit up.
Is a video of your more finished "Hydroponic Farm" available?
Not yet, Sanctuary is still a work in progress. Stay tuned though. =)
Omg!!! I like Preston but I feel ya. I was level 62 & started over b/c all the factions were fighting each other & two because Preston kept me soooooo busy. There were sooooo many settlements & everybody & their momma was crying I need this & that. I will freakin' finish Sanctuary, Red Rocket & Abernathy Farm before tending to anyone else. I'm intentionally putting off the Tempine. Bluff quest. Not this time Preston but we're still cool. Lol
So chilled
I was thinking... Maybe you could do that select all thing to delete that post standing in santuary I'll try it now
How do you get the spotlight at 8:17
