Fallout 4 - Settlement Series | Part 10.5, Bare Necessities
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- Welcome to the first part of the settlement series! We're going to try and help out those fine folks we got moved into Sanctuary Hills. Gotta take care of our new neighbors. ;)
This video has minimal editing because I approached it the way I tend to approach normal videos so please by aware that editing style may change through-out this series.
Also I have included midroll ads here, which I try not to do to normal videos, but long videos like that that are optional-viewing are not going to do me much good so I'm just trying to compensate for that, hope you don't mind too much & thanks for understanding.
This is the Game of the Year Edition and we will be doing as much of the DLC as possible. My gameplay is unmodded with the exception of a few stability improving mods. Those are:
Unofficial Fallout 4 Patch v2.1.3
Previsibines Repair Pack v0.53
River Fix v1.1
LoadAccelerator v1.8
The extremely copyrighted radio music has been removed because fun is illegal. If any other changes are made to the game throughout the series I'll announce them, but that's all for now.

18:10 the "settings" wheel above the bed is actually a vault door symbol. Objects in the build menu that were added by DLC will bear a symbol representing the DLC they came from. The vault door means it came with vault tec workshop. A boat icon, from Far harbor. Etc.
Building something takes more resources than you get back from scrapping. It's much more efficient to store or move something if you intend to use it in the future, otherwise you can end up wasting resources like copper.
The collapsed houses cannot be fixed, but scrapping them will leave behind a flat concrete slab that's useful for building new structures.
All excellent advice, I hope she sees it!
I am 32 minutes in, and came here to see if anyone suggested to scrap the whole broken house to her.
Just to answer your question at the start you indeed don't need to worry about scrapping a container if it's got something in it. The contents of it will get put into your workshop. There are a few locked safes and suitcases in Sanctuary that I guess you'd lose the XP on unlocking them but it's not really a whole bunch to be losing.
Informative! Thank you! :)
also buy junk all the junk you can possibly get every chance you get
And, it's a little late for this. But the things that you scrap that are original containers, will respawn stuff in them later. So suitcases, dressers, medical boxes, and mirrors will all eventually have more stuff in them if you leave them alone
Well I didn't realize that never noticed wow response cool
@@MissieMae Also remember to sometimes click "Transfer" on any of the work benches or the workshop, to see if you have surplus of something you can take. For example if you produce more water than you need, the workshop slowly get bottles of Purified Water you can sell to traders.
Congratulations! You discovered the rug glitch. If you place something on top of a rug you can move whatever it is. If you hold longer on the rug it will pick up items nearby. You can use this to move entire buildings.
There are similar glitches with slightly different effects with the pillar, pole, and campfire.
Also, store the televisions in Sanctuary before recruiting settlers. There's a bug that sometimes counts TVs as settlers.
The building system really can be frustrating without the Place Everywhere mod. That completely eliminates the red outline, lets you turn off snapping, sink stuff into the ground, etc. But there is a certain satisfaction that comes with doing it modless though, knowing that your frustration paid off lol. Also, the gear icon next to the bed in the menu means it came from the Vault-Tec Workshop DLC. The other icons that you'll see are a boat (Far Harbor), wrench (Contraptions Workshop), deathclaw head (Wasteland Workshop), robot head (Automatron), and Nuka-Cola bottle (Nuka-World).
yea, unless know some of the glitches an "pole trick" to place objects closer to each other then normally well... the vanilla building system kinda isnt all that great, especially if one has OCD when placing something down and its a tiny bit floating like those picket fences
completely agree, placing things is so restricting and frustrating, that mod just changes things in such a good way.
Mods are useful, but it's probably best to get experience with the vanilla game first. Placing mods in the wrong order can seriously screw up the game. Also, despite what the mod descriptions say, they don't always play well with each other.
Agreed, too bad Bethesda didn't improve things in a patch.
The settlement building is frustrating, full stop. Especially its additional mechanical defense stuff.
When you loaded that “Pack” rat with the junk from Red Rocket and carried it back to Sanctuary, I lost my mind. What an out-of-the-box idea.
My mouth fell open when she did that. A+ cheating right there. Love it!
There is a RUclipsr named Volx that had a had a playthrough of almost 1000 episodes and was walking around with a full inventory when the survival update originally came out. He tried to carry his inventory back in a small chunk of an enemy that he found.
Can you post a timestamp? I don't remember this and I'm curious as to what you mean.
@@DavidDavidson587 right around 58:00
@@RtotheK605 Thanks 👍
cleaning up the settlements of all the junk can sometimes be pretty cathartic
Even better with the scrap everything and place anywhere mods
@@totalgarbage2053 Very true
It's more enjoyable than making the actual settlement at times 😅
@@totalgarbage2053 Got to watch the scrap mods breaking precombines though as that can cause serious issues with the game.
@@kateferguson7705 This is true, but I've been using Scrap Everything for years and have never experienced an issue, probably because I don't go crazy with it and raze entire settlements to the ground. I just use it to clean the floors of trash, leaves and debris for the most part. The only preexisting structures I've scrapped is all the crappy crap cluttering up Hangman's Alley. Scrap Everything can be pretty frustrating, too, though in that everything but the kitchen sink, including invisible idle markers, has been added to the list of things you can scrap. So you have to be careful and confirm that what you have selected is what you actually intended to scrap and move around a lot to find a place to look in order to pull up something in the build menu.
I was so happy for you when you finally figured out the food assignment.
Im happy that i saw this comment before she found out 😄so now i know I dont need to wonder longer than I should
Yeah, I'm glad I read this, too. It was driving me nuts. 🤪 I was all "JUST LOOK AT A SETTLER IN BUILD MODE AND NOTICE THE 'ASSIGN' OPTION! AAAAAARRRGGGHH!" Hahaha!
I never thought about that mole rat trick!🤯 Awesome!👍💯😁58:00
I'm constantly impressed with how she's figured stuff like that out so quickly in all her playthroughs.
@@loserfry100 As am I Friend. I beat this game like 6 or 7 times and never thought about that. 😁👍
Over in skyrim you can cut some bandit's head off and then stick all the loot into that bandit. You can still loot it all from any bit that was part of the bandit. You can then drag the bandit's head to wherever. A tip for when you don't have a Rat to hold all your stuff :D
@@madman123456 😁Skyrim is the Best!👍💯
There's an amazing settlement channel who uses no mods you should watch to get the hang of building. Not being critical by any means. The guy is awesome and I've learned alot.
Skooled zone
He’s great at building!
50:27 Picket fences and a few other settlement items only show up when you unlock them. Picket fences, in particular, are unlocked when you find a certain copy of the magazine appropriately titled "Picket Fences"!
We'll MY analytics say this video is 100% MissieMae, which is exactly what I want.
With the normal playthrough videos being an average of 40 minutes, I appreciate the settlement building to be it's own series so you don't have to build settlements during your quests. I also appreciate that this video is over 2 hours long. I do enjoy a long video so I don't have to look for other things to watch.
30:03 Protecting generators is pretty smart idea.
Raiders can easily break them with their bullets, forcing you to spend extra copper (and other resources) to repair them.
So hiding may save you more resources in the long run.
Personality, in my "big main base" I hid them behind concrete walls
I think generators break randomly when there is an attack. I don’t think the attackers have to literally shoot at them. 🤔
@@shawncarnes9471 they can break randomly as an event too
@@shawncarnes9471 In a "standard" settlement attack, when the player is there for the fight, generators and other things like shops etc. can be damaged by stray bullets. Attackers don't usually target them directly, to the best of my knowledge.
If you ignore the attack message or don't make it to the settlement in time, there is a chance that the settlers will fail to defend themselves. If that happens, things such as generators can be damaged next time you visit the settlement.
There is also a special type of settlement mission, where a generator is broken and the settlers ask you to fix it... usually while the settlement gets attacked. I've only had that happen twice in all my playthroughs, though.
The rugs move anything you've set on it, but not things that were already on them. When you placed the bed inside your house on that rug it attached the bed to the rug so that you could move them both together. It's the same reason the wall moved with the floor when you place them inside the house. It is not a bug, but a feature. It allows you to easily relocate something you've built if you find you started in the wrong place.
EDIT:. I think that now that you have most of the settlement system learning curve behind you that future episodes will be shorter/smoother.
👍 Nice - Clearly stated. I was going to post about this, too.
@@hughmoore3251 Confused the heck out of me when I first started playing fallout 4 as well. I remember taking several days just to bounce around and figure out what was what. LOL
@@mooselee3053 Sad to say...I didn't realize what was going on till I had a video pop up in my YT feed explaining it. Felt so silly!!!
@@TheChartreuseLeprechaun Heck, I still look up RUclips videos on fallout. LOL
"Stop! You're wasting time! I don't want to see it!"
Thank you for devoting a whole subseries to working on settlements, MissieMae. This is easily my favourite aspect of Fallout 4, and one often overlooked by RUclipsrs doing playthroughs. I've been looking forward to this, and 2.5 hours is a great start! (The only drawback is I first saw this video at 0120 am my time, so no sleep for me!)
Plenty of people doing settlement builds.
I think the problem it that it wasn't extensive enough AND it was tied to an RPG. Most people play RPGs to build characters not settlements.
I always found it a bit tedious and my settlements were just higgledy piggledy with beds and a roof over their heads and food/water.
With the DLC it made it easier to build better looking houses like Far Harbour barn/warehouses, but the inability to remove some of the existing features in a space, (that shack at Two Pines(?)) plus the edges of the build area gets annoying. Then the NPCs might refuse to use the stairs or walkway for some reason.
Really needs a behaviour mod so your settlers man their posts and don't run outside the settlement to fight.
"Eternity of moist" Girl I'm dying of laughter over here.
5:10 Someone probably already pointed it out, but if you scrapped that medpack everything inside would go into the workshop storage. So you can scrap everything without worrying and then check workshop for something that isn't trash/material
This should be fun!
Settlement building can be kinda wonky and frustrating at times, but, at least to me, its really satisfying and cool getting to walk through and hang around a settlement you made, using its facilities and seeing all its citizens around.
Hope you have fun
I laughed so hard at the pack rat pro-gamer move I had to pause the video so I didn't miss anything else. Your puns combined with Bethesda physics ... chef's kiss
I love watching settlement building, but for some reason when it's in a playthrough it can feel frustrating.
This is an amazing idea, at least for my silly brain! Thank you for recording it.
It's a bit frustrating when playing, as halfway through you might get attacked etc. Breaks into the game exploration as well.
Yeah... the ceiling situation...
Those Sanctuary roofs and ceilings are actually what got me into modding the game at first. I don't mind the concept of having to fix stuff like that; it's fairly realistic. However, doing so is nigh on impossible because Bethesda just didn't provide the necessary pieces. It's even difficult to jury-rig something together. Now.. I just use lore-friendly, pre-fixed settlement mods. I love the design and decorating aspects of building, it's a creative outlet and very relaxing... but those roofs are painfully tedious. :D
Anyway, I'm really enjoying this, and your sunny approach/sense of humour as you figure things out... This episode brightens my evening wonderfully, thank you!
One tip on the ceilings, btw, I don't know if you can do this without Place Everywhere (I think so), but you can actually use the square wooden floor pieces to patch them.
Nothing like building concrete rooms for generators, on my biggest time sink run I converted Sanctuary on a 4 story apartment building XD
I think all you need is the rug glitch, maybe the pillar glitch, and A LOT of patience.
@@rivenrime Yep, For mostly unmodded play-throughs, this is probably the best solution.
all material in a scrapped container goes into the workshop
yes, including unopened safes. A great way to open them.
Abernathy Farm is directly west of the Red Rocket Truck Stop.
Once allied, it's a pretty nice source of Mutfruit and other veggies. I've always used that to jump start my Sunshine Tidings Co-Op which IF you plant only Mutfruit, can become literally one of the largest areas of easy transportable food for your settlements.
Also, once you've leveled up Charisma and I believe allied enough Settlements, you'll begin to aquire your own Brahmin, which allows you to set up supply lines between your settlements, making it easier to connect your workbenches!
i really liked building settlements, it has issues on their own but is still enjoyable
ok, you need to assign a settler to the food to make them cultivate and harvest it. Otherwise it will not register
ok ya figured it out lol
the totally trashed houses can be scrapped whole, leaving a decent level slab to build on
I think she also has to place them food in the fenced in area behind the house for folks to automatically work it??
@@ericgeesey9817 placing behind a house is purely cosmetic. If the crop isn't assigned, no one harvests it. And a settler only harvests either 6 or 8 crops, can't remember. After that you have to assign another settler.
@@jonathanjohnston1064 Noted. Was just relating her experience too mine. Never had a similar issue completing this quest myself. Some of my settlers would just seemingly auto assign to farming without any other manual direction. As long as I placed most of my food behind the house that is:/
@@ericgeesey9817 interesting. Never seen that.
Sometimes settlers will assign themselves automatically if there are available crops or guardposts. This can happen in any settlement as far as I know, not only in Sanctuary.
It doesn't happen all the time, though, and I've never figured out why.
Also, a settler can manage up to 6 points of food, which means 12 of most crops (which give you 0,5 food) or 6 mutfruit (since they give 1 food). If a settlers isn't assigned to their limit and you build more crops, that settler will automatically start working on the new ones.
This whole time i kept saying bless your heart
HOLY MOLY 2 hours of amazing content after a hard day thank you so much missy mae 😃😃😃
good job on the editing 💯
edit: tbh you should explore while doing these workshop/inventory videos i think its a part of the game to explore locations to gather resources like food to plant if you dont your handicaping yourself just my opinion.
I'd go with unlocking some more locations as there are more merchants out there at some of the bigger friendly settlements. At least then she can fast travel to buy what she needs.
Bit weird cat guy had no marker since he's static.
That creativity with the mole rat corpse to use as a transporter for your junk made me cry so hard that it made my stomach hurt. Good job!
2 hours of settlement building? You spoil us
I suggest the Skooled Zone's "No Mod Shop Class" series for a lot of tips, tricks, and ideas for building in FO4. There are certain glitches you can use to manipulate / clip items and structures into places the game wouldn't let you normally place them.
Specifically look at videos of building a bunch of upper floors in the shape of the Sanctuary home and then using the pillar glitch and rug glitch to clip them into the houses, which will patch all the holes in the roof. Have fun!
ruclips.net/p/PLoWFqhbb1yPs0tnEV8q-t4ShRSi7G00pM - Skooled zone series
ruclips.net/video/8Lp21MUKMtM/видео.html&ab_channel=WastelandDovahkiin - how i did my sanctuary rooves
i will updoot this as well, schooledzone uses the in game glitches like the rug glitch but no building mods (which can really mess up the game playthrough depending upon which ones you use and how crazy you go with them,) so it's perfect for this series where you'll have building and want to make the most of that, but also want to explore the story.
settlement clean up is like playing Viscera but somehow with less bullets
The distain in your voice after you figured out the food LOL! I feel the pain.
The "schooled zone" is a godsend RUclipsr that has a playlist called "no mods shop class" that gets you accustomed to settlement building without really touching on storyline. He does NAME other settlement locations, that's really the extent of possible spoilers.
You know if watching regular gameplay generates anxiety or a desire to make a ton of suggestions... This... OMG... I was just wanting to constantly say "DO THIS!" or "DO THAT!" I never thought this kind of gameplay would do that...
Copper is one of the most annoying material to get imo.
I'll give Bethesda credit for having that feature which highlights items containing a material you want
Depends on how much power you use. I go with low tech settlements, so copper is not a big deal.
I buy ballistic fiber shipments though. Trying to collect a lot of that in the wild is rage inducing.
It was even worse in the early days when every wire required copper to build. Glad they patched that out.
@@TheInsaneShecklador Eh, I don't think that was a good fix.
They should have just added more copper to junk. I mean, you find a million steel everywhere, change some of that to copper and the problem would have been solved.
@@Danceofmasks Yes there should be more copper but imagine if every wire still required it. Especially if you're doing complex circuits or pixel art with the light boxes.
@@TheInsaneShecklador The amount of resources you gain is entirely arbitrary. Imagine if pipe weapons are made out of copper pipes. If every pipe pistol is 4 or 5 copper, you wouldn't complain.
I loved watching you figure all this stuff out. Takes me back to my first time oh so many years ago. If I have any advice it would be to take it slow. You might have noticed that you threw down two giant water purifiers and then didn't have the resources to power them up. Your game is early AND you haven't been collecting resources as thoroughly as you could have been. Now you know. Spend some time gathering resources and then build something small. You didn't need two giant purifiers. One little one or two water pumps that don't even need power are perfect for a tiny little starter settlement like yours. Same with your food; you planted more than you need right now. No problem, you'll grow into that. But for now, your game is still very, very young and your resources are, quite literally, less than 1 percent of what you'll need. So make your next project small and simple. For example, set up a starter community at Red Rocket or Sunshine Co-op and see how you can make the smallest amount of construction meet their needs. So take it slow. Don't try to do everything at once. Don't try to build a city when a house will do. Don't try to build a mansion when a shack will do. And for Shaun's sake, collect resources! Have fun :)
Love your running commentary. Just sitting back and listening to you work things out, figure things out, find things, scrap things, make things. From someone who has played it multiple times, it's fun to see it with a fresh perspective through the eyes of someone else.
Yeah there is a LOT undocumented about the Settlement building system. I went through a lot of trial or error. You can go super-simple using the prefabs or go to building your own complex structures. I mean you can even set up automated factory lines that converts everything you put into a container into scrap or make a particular type of ammo, etc.
Some tips: To deal with uneven terrain you can put down foundations to create a level structure to build on. When it comes to defense, enemies will attack from a few specific points around your communities - there are resources online which point out exactly where so you can plan your defense accordingly. Scrapping excess weapons and armor can yield a lot of building materials. Most locations and containers also "reset" after a certain amount of time - so if you find a place with a lot of a certain resource you can occasionally hit the place for scrap.
12 min in I feel so bad for Her. having done a lot of settlement stuff without mods I will say a lot of stuff like fences are easier if you scrap them all and rebuild the whole thing. Fences in perticular you want to set one or 2 "Pin" posts first then fill in afterward.
Edit: not really a spoiler but to be safe. I have another fence comment below.
I forgot you need to find a magazine to make certain fence types.
Think of the work benches in each settlement as a version of the vending machines at the SIERRA MADRE; you dump in your junk items, and if turns it into the stuff you want; the game doesn't expect you to repair things, it expects you to tear things down and make new things; at first, you won't be able to make anything really fancy; you will have to find magazines with recipes, out in the world; the PLACE ANYWHERE mod will be your best friend, when it comes to settlement building
I would build the structures and then hand my wife the controller to decorate the interior.
couldn't stop singing "bear necessities" after reading the title. Love the series keep it up!
Wow, that Molerat trick was pretty funny. I've never tried that, ever. Well done!
Good episode. A few tips.
Some things like the scavenge shop, food and stores require people to be assigned to them.
You can tag resources like copper so you can see them out in the world.
Don't some of the shops, or higher tier shops require a perk? Can't recall ATM.
Yes. The perk is under Charisma.
Yes Welcome to the janky
Man you are going to love the vault tech contruction pack
So if you place items onto a floor mat, and then move the floor mat, the auto snap won't happen. Then delete the floor mat and the fence drops down into place. It's the easiest way to make the build mode fun lol.
Idiot Savant is the most ANNOYING perk, but everytime you trigger it, you have the sweetest laugh of embarassment. Those are the best moments of the video for me lol
😊 I think you handled the tutorial as well as you could. Heck, it took FOREVER for Sturges to tell you to assign someone to the flipping food...🤦🏽♀️ I am happy you figured out to carry one of the mole rats with the extra stuff from Red Rocket, brilliant!!! 😉
💖 Only tip I have for you today is “Loot your butt off”, everything has value {except burnt books/magazines & folders} so bring everything back that you can. It will all help in your settlement building & also when you upgrade your armor & guns. Great work, it can be frustrating but it all can be done...🥰
It was kinda obvious with the "requires " in the build menu.
I would add to that tip to carry absolute minimum amount of stuff, no extra outfits, no extra weapons, no extra pieces of armor, only what is needed, and that includes food. Lot more room for loot, and there is never enough room for loot..
@@nyysjan I agree...😉
Task #1 in new settlements . . . SCRAP EVERYTHING! You'll appreciate the resources and the blank canvas for when you're ready for building.
I used to do that, but then Irealised that some of the "junk" looks kind of nice where it is. These days I'm careful with what I scrap, at least if it's something I won't be able to build again later.
Top 3 mods for settlement work that cut down on most of the frustration if you ask me:
Place everywhere: Lets you "clip" things through stuff the game won't let you when placing, solving common problems like stuff partially hovering when not placed on perfectly flat ground by letting you place it partially through the ground or what have you. Like the issue you saw with setting down the cooking station and its awkward cinderblock base or the floorboards in the house.
Scrap everything: Lets you scrap things the game won't normally let you, including prefab buildings and bushes/trees/corpses everything else.
OCDecorator: Allows you to place "static" world versions of nearly everything in the game from materials to ammo to premade shelves filled with things for immersion. Really makes a lot of the games random stuff feel more useful as it turns it all into potential decoration. If you just place things on the ground or try to put it on top of something by dropping from your inventory you'll have a whole world of frustration and it also won't stay in one spot.
Honorable mentions: Settlement Supplies Expanded, Homemaker, Thematic and Practical, All Settlements Extended, Architect, Functional Displays
There's also mods that add more wood and metal walls and prefabs to work with if you like those and several to automatically restore the sanctuary bridge and houses for you if you want :)
Place and OCD are awesome, and I wouldn't build without them. However, I VERY STRONGLY urge Missie and anyone else to avoid Scrap Everything like the ABSOLUTE PLAGUE. This mod breaks previs and precombines, which can lead to massive instability issues (not what you want in a Lets Play). Further, Place Everywhere actually has a toggle that allow you to scrap certain additional objects safely.
@@sonjaR2 Usually only a problem if you have another mod trying to break them they always cause issues together. Like if i use commonwealth reclamation project which builds its own previs and scrap everything that breaks them the whole games gonna be fucked for sure
@@prisoner817 Oh, I know it can work..... but it's definitely not something I'd recommend to a new FO4 player, especially one who is doing a Lets Play. ;)
Whenever I start a new playthrough I spend the first 4 hours just scrapping everything in sanctuary and building a nice little compound for the quincy survivors .
Yes! This!
yes. I built a wood keep next to the Bridge, with lots of turrets.
These days Sanctuary is fully walled in with concrete battlements.
Love the videos. Workshop rearranged is a great mod for additional items it also revamps the snapping system, makes it much more intuitive, and adds many new snap points.
1:00:00 I find it easier when running lines and pylons to build a new pylon next to the existing one, wire them together and then move the new pylon along until it turns red, and then backtrack. Similar thing with wall connectors and the like or connecting something though a window.
1:12:00 Every settler not assigned a job will scavenge 1 junk object per day and put it in the workbench. A settler assigned to a savaging station will still only scavenge one item, but they roll from a different larger list of items. So less low scrap/value things like tin cans and more things like phones or typewriters
Two hours of May in settlement mode? Praise be!
59:00 : I spend thousands of hours in Fallout 4 (no shit), but i never thought of using a dead mole rat as a bag for transporting my stuff ! Such a great idea !
Your innocent and fresh experiences have nearly prompted me picking the game back. It's been a joy to watch.
Thanks for this! Really love the settlement building and wanted to see you mess with it
The least amount of attacking in a video and she still gasps 😂. This is why I love watching people play games like this for their first time
I like that you've done the separate settlement videos, it's a relaxing way to spend an afternoon! In terms of settlement building, the Minutemen are the faction that is most heavily focused in this area. There are other factions you can join later if you choose, but the Minutemen will always remain as an option you can return to if you decide not to stick with anyone else.
As you've discovered, settlement building is very resource intensive. There are multiple ways you can obtain more, but for now, here are some tips.
The dead street lights are a good source of early copper. Rubber can be found from scrapping tires, concrete from the ruined houses and cinderblocks, and ceramic from bathroom fixtures, oil from gas cans, paint cans, cooking oil.
Aluminum is quite rare, so is adhesive. You will need to explore for them more often than not. Adhesive can be farmed and crafted, but it's still too early for that in your playthrough.
There are other options for later on though if you like!
With slightly higher intelligence and the scrapper perk, you can get a fair bit of most crafting materials from scrapping any weapons and armor you scavenge with non-default modifications on them. Otherwise, you can buy shipments from most traders in towns. They are fairly expensive, but weigh nothing, contain a large amount of crafting materials.
Currently, your best bet is to continue being a packrat and grabbing all junk items you can find.
Pack mule eventually makes you able to move and fast travel while over encumbered so you can loot everything, or you can use the inspirational perk in charisma to make Cosworth carry more. The Automatron DLC becomes available at level 15 or so, and after doing a few quests in it you can create and modify robot companions (Codsworth included), and can greatly increase their carrying capacity.
Sorry if that's a lot at once! I'm tying to avoid mentioning anything too spoilery
OMG! I was so relieved when you figured out assigning a person to a crop….I felt the stress, lol
I've played this game for years but 58:36 is something I never thought I could do 😂
Same lmao I was like :O *facepalm*
Meanwhile my hoarder butt the other day is like I’ll just slow walk it out coming back from this DLC in FNV lol
Dearest algorithm, please reward this creator for this content for it is good even though it deviates from the most optimal viewing experience for yt's bottom line.
Settlement building can be frustrating sometimes. Brings out my inner CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are in the correct order, as they should be 😉👍
i have been playing this game for so long and never thought to use dead bodies to transport junk😂
There’s nothing more satisfying than cleaning up the settlements and rebuilding. Mods really improve upon that, there’s the Scrap That Settlement mod that allows you to scrap the static junk and trash piles too. Also, I personally feel that a settlement building series is much more intriguing than a standard play through of the story that most of us have already played a 100 times over. Everyone builds their settlement differently, but everyone usually plays the game the same 2 or 3 different ways. Regardless, as long as you’re having fun, then do what you want. It’s your channel and your content. People who appreciate it will come and those who don’t will leave, and those who leave were never true supporters of you anyway.
Great start! It took me a long time to figure out that I needed to put down 'foundation blocks' (floors category) outside before placing items on top to get them level. You have a very infectious laugh, and I really enjoy this series.
Omg that mole rat carrier was genious. I have built settlements for years and never thought of doing that
I watched the whole thing and I liked it! I hope you keep doing them. Perfect for watching while I'm doing chores.
50:10 Picket Fences are buildable but you need to find the right magazine of the same name.
The depth of the post controls the depth of the fence, so pick up the corner post and raise it a bit and the fence will snap so it's not buried in the ground. Walls snap to floors and foundations. Place a foundation and set the depth so buildings don't float in the air. The build system is janky, but once you learn how things work with each other, it becomes much easier. There are lots of mods that fix some of the flaws but they also add things that aren't vanilla, so you might want to wait until you finish your playthru before modding. You can assign settlers to crops and it will produce more that is stored in your workshop. Same for guard towers, stores, that scavenging station, etc.
Neat to see Mae just randomly discover the rug glitch for herself. Hope you keep doing these videos as settlement building is my fave part of Fallout 4!
This was even more fun to watch that I anticipated. Although I did spend about 30 minutes wishing I could tell you to assign someone to the crops 😂🤣
I wouldn't stress out too much about the settlement series. This has been done and done. Personally, I look forward to your play through. I keep refreshing to see if the new part has been released. The minimum you need to do for most settlements is setup turrets. Please don't get discouraged and press forward with the play through. When you were high up above Corvega, you looked out over Boston and got excited. There's so much to Fallout 4, just keep on getting excited. Despite having played through Fallout 4 several times, I am seeing new things through your experience.
"A whole lot of time, for not a whole lot of reward"...you said it. Fun to watch though. And 10+ kills when you were only building is pretty good.
Gotta get food🤷🏻♂️
Yay, you learned about the rug glitch. There is also a post glitch. Both are very useful in settlement building.
Did you figure out how to assign settlers to tasks like growing food?
@@grimbyrne195 She eventually figured it out for food, but not for the scrapping station yet.
Watching your settlement building videos will be my Zen!
using a dead mole rat to carry your excess inventory was brilliant!
use concrete or wood foundation blocks to make a level foundation to build on
assign a settler to 'supply line' with another settlement .. this allows you to share junk between settlements
assign a settler to the scavenger station and they will find items to store in you workshop inventory
i love settlement building and enjoyed watching you .. you learn quickly .. keep up the good work!!
I’m really excited for the builds!!
I second that
I third that
Thoroughly enjoying your play through. This side series is a good idea. The settlement building aspect of this game is almost a whole other thing. I feel your pain with the picket fences. They are SO frustrating.
The build menu for Fallout 4 is famous for being obtuse! You did very well and it was fun to see learning process. It took me well over two hours to figure out how to build a settlement!
There is a mod to clear all the crap and debris out of your settlements. I felt the same way; giddy for the settlement features, then overwhelmed and then sobbing as the snap function didn't logically snap. Great job Mae!
There's a lot to learn when it comes to building your settlement, and trial and error is the best way to learn 👍 My only recommendation is to take a look at what resources you will need that are hard to get, such as copper and rubber, etc, and make a wee stockpile of those resources... It's the problem I faced (and still face in 76 🤣) keep at it, you're doing good so far, and it's great to see your thought process ☺️ loved the video, and I'm looking forward to seeing your settlement grow ☺️☺️☺️
So glad you are doing a separate series for this stuff. It keeps the whole exploring the wasteland series clean.
I have such a hard time with settlement building because I can never focus on it enough, so I'm very excited for your series here! Thanks as always for the great content, Missie!
This might take me a couple days to watch all of it, but watch it i shall
You should be able to get copper from the lamp posts, also when you plant crops, you need to assign a settler to them.
If I recall correctly, the broken lamp posts contain exactly the materials needed to build a functional one. I like doing that, making it look as if the settlers have patched up the old lamp posts and wired them up.
58:00 Goo job with the mole rat trick!
Tip for the future (no spoilers): Once you have settlements on opposite sides of the map and the trick becomes difficult you may be interested in making supply lines that let's you use resources of one settlement from another connected via settler-courier. It's unlocked by taking first rank of Local Leader perk (Charisma 6)
I really like settlement building myself so it is fun to see the thought process of other builders
I love this. More please! I’m still fairly new I found you when the algorithm showed me your third episode of the fallout 4 play through. Glad I stuck around. I’m almost done with your murdered soul suspect play through and at about ep22 of fallout 3
Hi Missie Mae! 👋 🐈 This is exactly what I do in my playthrus of "New Vegas", pickup trash...every room...every location. I openly say at the picnic areas: "People, there is a trash can right here!!!"
It...is...a...sickness!
And I do not understand people who have no curtains/shades in homes...especially bedrooms!!
Cyber huggggss 🐈
I recall once, I was building a dedicated area for water (using far too much concrete) covering most of the river that it gives you and I ended up basically building a mini town along the river.
It looked cool but I completely forgot about.. oh yknow, rebuilding Sanctuary.. 😅😂
Another time I remember I'd built this ridiculously HUGE greenhouse which covered all the ground from the melon patch behind the workbench house all way to the river and the rickety wooden bridge. It looked very pretty and produced such a huge amount of food I became the wealthiest and most well fed man in the Commonwealth.
*I spent so long building in Sanctuary I almost forgot there was a whole commonwealth to explore*
Personally I was sucking dry the river along Sanctuary by filling it up with Industrial Water Purifiers. Purified water only goes for like 10 caps each, but I mean I'm producing 100+ water a day in Sanctuary alone so it adds up
@@BlazinVoid59 You probably make way more caps from Purified water than food but same outcome more or less.
Two and a half hours of Missie Mae vs the picket fences, what’s not to love?
Honestly this gave me flashbacks to my first play through and the frustration of the building system! It’s even more frustrating using a controller.
At least you have discovered the rug glitch already, next the pillar glitch and then combining the two.
There are plenty of tutorial channels on RUclips, I personally learned a lot from Norespawns but any of them will show the main glitches that are used to get things looking better.
One tip for creating flat areas is to use the foundations in the floor section which can be sunk into or raised out of the ground.
Brilliant solution with the rat pack!
For the power, windmills are quietest. If you go with gas-powered generators, down by the water is probably the best place to keep them out of the way and out of earshot.
Ngl I was laughing pretty hard when you put the powered door in the ceiling. You're the best.
The barn floors are more easy to shove into corners. Two glitches I use when fixing the houses are the pillar glitch and the rug glitch. For power the wireglitch and the wifiglitch are amazing. Keep on sharing your build experiences.
"I'm never going to have that much science; I'm stupid." As it turns out, you do need an INT of 6 to learn the lowest level of science, so yes, you need to invest in INT to take the first Science perk. But you don't need any more INT to take all the rest of the Science perks. So both Science 1 and Science 4 need the same INT 6. No more.
That's still 5x the INT she has, lol.
she can only increase her int _once_ (bc she used the SPECIAL book already) and she has _1 int_
she's never going to have that much intelligence
@@cheeto.burrito Uh, no. That's not how Fallout 4 works. Every time you level up you can either choose a perk or put that point into any SPECIAL stat. You can completely max out your SPECIAL this way, and since leveling has no cap it's not a waste like the stat boosting perks from 3 and NV. She can max her INT if she wants.
It's always wonderful watching someone new fall in love with the Settlement Building. Ironically F76 does it a little better, but there are plenty of mods out there for easier settlement building. Without going into too much detail, I'll recommend 2 of them - 'Place Anywhere' and 'Scrap Everything'. Pretty self explanatory.
Also, if you're looking for some copper, check out the dead street lamps.
scrap everything is a pretty dangerous mod that i would not recommend. it breaks precombines and can seriously affect your fps in certain areas
I'm in LOVE with this! I really enjoy the settlement system, and if it's okay I have a couple non spoiler-y tips:
-Go into the workshop mode, and walk up to the absolutely destroyed house near the "main" house. You can scrap it!! Try it on all the extra destroyed houses!
-I don't know if you're open to mods, but the only way to get the houses looking newish again is via a mod. Poor Sturges will work to no avail otherwise 😔
-You can order your settlers to do lots of different things, one of which is "Supply Line" and it gives you access to the inventory of whatever settlement you send them to.
Lastly, I legit never even thought about putting candles in the windows, what is wrong with me?! I love it!!
you need a perk for the supply lines tho and she doesn't have it yet
Commenting because I love settlement building! Without the place everywhere mod, you can use the 'rug glitch' to place things more precisely. Definitely worth looking up!
PS. Foundation peices help deal with sloped terrain
