I've been playing the same save on Fallout 4 on Xbox with no mods since 2016 on and off and never really got far in the game because I've always been addicted and distracted by the building. Your videos are awesome in 2023 I'm watching them all and using your tips. All I see myself doing is just building more. I appreciate your Channel!
@@SkooledZone Dude! Absolutely! I'm playing Fallout 4 right now, farming materials, not gonna lie bought some shipments to help the grind. I'm about to rewatch the Manufacturing video and see what I can do. I never done it before. Skool is about to be in session! Haha!
You aren't "late". Every day there's a whole new group of people that become of age to play this game. So there is no "late". We aren't all born at the same exact time. Btw, it's okay to comment on an old thread as well. Anyone saying you shouldn't, is an idiot. Just a couple Pro tips for everyone.
Which mods do you use I've had fallout 4 for years and just tried a model for the first time I added mods for dog meat armor upgrades and I disabled it cause I wasn't sure do you have any good mods to recommend
CD Smith I mean why are mods bad? I use mods to add new building materials to create better themes with my roleplay. And a lot of mods can alter how intelligent the other actors are making roleplay much better. combat is improved the same.
2 years ago a great man made great tutorials... later in the wasteland a wanderer through the Covid mist settles to learn to build! Mucho respecto! This is a channel!!!
Most builders flexing = Marvel at my Amazing Complex Factory and despair! Skooled flexing = check out these two chairs i merged together... Pretty neat
So.... I've gone and fallen in love with Fallout4 all over again. To have a big part of the game so confusing and then watch this and realise I can do this... Thanks for the tutorial on this more technical stuff. You've made my gaming experience way more enjoyable
this was soooooo Awesome... thank you... you teach in a very good way. I can understand it … I have dyslexic. and you don't swear. and you sound gentle... thank you again … GREAT VIDEO , KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK....
When I started your series I was barely able to string together the most rudimentary shack. I can't believe I've made it to your manufacturing and logic gates videos, and that I'm actually following what you're saying now. Too crazy! From kindergarten builder to AP class bonus features......way to go skooled zone. You're a great teacher. And I've been having so much fun in the process😊
Watching you fumble with the wiring made me feel so good about myself, because I, too, get confused with how many connections etc I need 😂 I appreciate hearing you think out loud, and watching your creativity at work.
i never even knew you could manufacture in fallout 4 or mass produce and this has really blown my mind, thank you for popping up in my recommended and showing me a whole new creative light in fallout 4 that will refresh the fun i will have :)
A very BIG THANK YOU Skooled Zone for teaching me how to manufacture items. FALL OUT 4 never ceases to totally amaze me with the things that can be done. I have been playing Fallout 4 for about a year now, but because of your videos, I've been Skooled! Thanks again. I'm very grateful to you for sharing your great knowledge. I'm 55 years old, but it's never too late to learn new tricks. I wish you and your family the very best.
I really appreciate the way you split this up! My attention span is super limited, but after digesting the first half I’ve come back for the wiring lessons. You present this all very accessibly so thank you!
i’ve been playing 4 since it came out (on my birthday:)) and never once did i get into the manufacturing until i was trying to 100% the game. thank you sm for this video bc trying to start with no experience working with that part of the workshop was very daunting but you explain it so well!
I just got Fallout 4 after seeing the modding community videos randomly popping up for me on YT. Then I wanted to learn about the whole conveyor thing, and found this and wow, I know way more than I did before watching it! Thank you!
Finally going to give manufacturing a shot, your video really helped me understand how exactly it all works before going through trial and error and getting bored.
It took me awhile to really get started with manufacturing. Just never really thought about it much. But now I use it all the time. I finally started experimenting with logic gates.
I looked for so many informative videos of this stuff . 5 years later I want to replay the game... the many videos we all wanted to see. It's really a shame I would've gave you big likes.
Restarted playing FO4 since it came out. I only did the story back in the day and 30 hours in I’m realizing how much I missed. Your videos are awesome and great 👍
especially when you're like going through a quite and eerie places in Far Harbor or Glowing Sea...first time it happened i was at the Far Harbor doing quest where i have to set up the condensors and the perk just popped up and surprised a crap out of me.
You are so great at explaining things! I’ve seen so many videos that go to fast or take steps for granted, but you explain everything so well! Thank you! :)
What a fantastic video, definitely worth staying till the end. Mate, you're a fantastic educator and one of few RUclipsrs I never skip adverts on. Though I've not got the £ to subscribe via Patreon, from what I'm aware you earn more if one doesn't skip the ads.
I know these videos are a bit older at this point but I want to let you know that I only just recently got back into fallout and these videos are exceptionally helpful! Thanks!
Great great video man. I love the way you explain everything. Been watching you for a while now (since right before you started the NMSC) and you always amaze me with your ideas. Keep up the good work man. I can’t wait to see what else you’re able to figure out
great video, thanks for posting. these are always helpful. the stacking rugs to help prevent placed item drop is a great tip. 👍 edit: thanks for waiting to continue the demonstration for daylight, i find it irritating when someone post's a "how to" at nighttime. usually i can't see what their doing.
I like the hypnotic patreon background. You can hook doors up to manufacturing sets like an armoury. Walk in which starts it up, sort a few bits, grab the ammo that the door opening made and go.
The "Store" button is a space saver. I am using Red Rocket as a fortress. I had a simple ammo plant & the conveyor storage only. "Stored" the plant & made a builder so I could build a builder (?!) to do the lunchbox trick. And then just out busted boxes onto same conveyor. It works for m. I know some love the whole conveyors & vacuum storage, hoppers etc, and more power (& patience) to them. My style works for me. I just tweak the builds I see & simplify them. Great hints!!
A good design I use (IMO) is to have multiple manufacturing plants drop their output into a single hopper from elevated slopes and belts, and that hopper drops items onto a belt that carries it to a storage unit. Then all my stuff just goes to one place! The big hopper is a pretty useful item for collating everything together. It's finicky to set up, but so satisfying if you pull it off! Great intro, man.
Your videos are awesome and very well explained. I love watching them. I've used the ammo plant, noticed it only runs when ur actually AT the settlement. Thank you for another great lesson Paul!🐱🐈
Thanks a bunch Maiden Kitty! And yeah, I think any sort of animation stops when you leave the loading cell. Somehow your settlements can still make money from shops when you're gone, so they should've factored that in.
I use the pressure plates in junction with the various "scave stations" as a means of production regulation so there not running 24/7 which also ads some immersion. Looks like a settler is running the line during the work day. You can also set up another vac hopper to turn on when the line is off to pull the unused stuff back out of the manufacture and back into the container or into the workshop.
Brilliant video. I'm new to Fallout 4. Been playing Fallout since the PS2 days. I love going back to FO3 GotY and New Vegas. However my PoS laptop refused to let me play FO4 even with everything turned down to 0. Finally got a new laptop and I'm on my second playthrough in a month. I did a little building on my first playthrough, but realised I was missing so much when I spotted just how much stuff there is to interact with. My first attempt at manufacturing had my machine spitting out balls all over the lawn. I just left and never went back to it. I knew I would figure it out eventually. Or maybe not. The more I explore the more I have RUclips and the fallout.fandom wiki open almost constantly on my phone. I stuck around for the tutorial where you tidied and hid all your wiring and I found this to be super cool and really, really helpful. My place looks like a scene out of madmax. I'll definitely be taking a look at some more of your videos as I progress into the world. Thank you.
Hey man, as an fyi you only have to power one machine in the line to supply them all. Took me awhile to figure that out but it's helpful to know. Love the videos BTW! You have some great builds going on. Keep it up!
Thanks man! And yeah, one wire will supply all the power _as long as_ they're physically connected. But sometimes you'll need breaks in the connection like I had in this little configuration. That's when you'll need multiple wires.
I hope you see this comment. I am so grateful that you have gotten into manufacturing. I will admit I don't like many videos but I definitely put one on this. And if you want themed settlements manufacturing can make that alot simpler. If you want all the settlers to have the same armor clothes and guns because your looking for that certain feel, the machines can mass produce the same copy of weapon and armor. Can't wait for the next video. Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a great day :)
I just found you and I'm happy I did! I was really confused about the machinery stuff but now I understand it better! The way you explain things makes my ADHD go wHEeEeEeeE (aka you do it very well :D). You are very kind sir, thank you for existing and making my day better.
This is one of the BEST video I have ever seen on RUclips explaining something that is both complex and unknown by game players. God Bless your articulation and explanations of everything. Its a PERFECT video! (+1 Sub)
My main use for the manufacturing was crafting .44 ammo. Normally the standard vendors would only have a few dozen rounds, and the unlisted vendors like the woman near Fairline Hill Estates still only had 100 shots. With the ammunition plant though I could craft a 1,000 rounds for myself and use that to take on the entire Commonwealth.
This is what many were waiting for good job man, I'm sure some on has said it but the vacuum hopper can also pull straight from the work bench as well. Little note didn't get a chance to watch the whole video at the time of comment because of work so you may have said it later on.
I just picked up this game on steam last weekend, looking forward to fixing up sanctuary. I don't like mods, thanks for these videos. Never knew about the rug and pillar glitches
Thank you for showing this, I assumed it just automatically pulled the ingredients from my workshop, I never got far into building my ammunition factory in the castle.
That's crazy cool, has no idea you could do these sorta things in fallout 4. I've been playing like a "simpleton" so to speak. It was kinda fun yet boring. This definitely has my intrigued, I may be dusting off the old Xbox one and building wild settlements 🤘
Lol nice editing skills, thought nobody noticed you place the pyro machine backwards at first. Was literally waiting for you to start it and see it go the wrong way.
If you just go to the castle, place water purifiers by the dozen, in the water. Place a bed and workshop in the castle armory, you can buy a ton of ammo from the minutemen lady with waters and sleep to reset her inventory and do over and over.
I have unlimited resources thanks to an exploit I’m using on the achievements run I didn’t side with the Garvy boys so the castle is still unavailable so I just have five ammo plants popping out the ammo and since it’s overstocked I have more ammo then I could possibly need, working on the dlc achievements for nukacola world and far harbor now
Great video as always. I messed with the machines a little bit. I am always running low on ammo for the last minute. Just couldn't figure out which containers were to be used. Thanks a million.
Ah yes, the 2mm EC is perfect for the ammo plant. You need Gun Nut 4 for that, but if you have that then that's a great source. It still might be cheaper to buy the ammo from a vendor. But when I had Cait using a Flaming Gauss rifle I was always running low on her ammo too.
I skip the whole starting container thing. I just put the raw materials directly into manufacturing machinery and then set what I want to build. It goes from there. Granted, its not as cool looking/fun as watching raw materials getting loaded into the builder. It does, on the other hand, save space and speeds things up.
Great Video! Even as a die-hard modded user, this was very informative and helped me figure stuff out! I've definitely subscribed to see what you do in the future, and I'll be going back to look at your other tutorials. I'm a die-hard settlement builder and its nice to see people who want things to look nice and tidy like a realistic settlement and not just the ramshackle shacks that most of the NPCs build for themselves in this and the other games :)
I love it you the RUclipsr that need to make mods reviews and stuff your good at what you do you explain every detail that is appropriate for the time you ready for your good at it i love it keep it up man im new and im already love this Channel
From what I have seen (tested), each manufacturing line has to be isolated in a closed loop, meaning they must each be powered by their own generator(s) and not connected to another line (if you wish to run multiple lines at a time) or the terminals will be in conflict with one another and won't initialize the option sequence. For those of us who wants functionality over form, I recommend inputting resources straight into the builder and not wasting resources building a vacuum hopper as it takes way too long to carry from container to hopper and into builder.
Paul, i'd love to see you do a wall-clipping restoration video of Croup Manor. it's an excellent site for wall-clipping and makes a great example of how to restore a pre-war building. [edit] i wanted to suggest that armor, clothing, and weapon mills are really good for outfitting your large numbers of settlers if you are going for themed outfits.
the clipping on taffington is really difficult, but you can re-roof it with the warehouse roof and it looks pretty reasonable, when i did this i added a balcony around the top floor. Croup however has a uniquely low clipping rate on the walls and you can actually almost entirely restore it without using the pillar or rug glitches.
Those bucket type chairs you put together. I keep forgetting to try that and see if maybe you could put a plant pot in it. I hope that would work as it would make a nice looking planter. Thanks for your videos. Hubby and I have picked up a lot of good tips and general knowledge from watching you.
I’m late as hell but I finally got to download every add on and add mods and update my game ty for your very useful tips I spend time more building then playing the game itself
Can I just say I noticed the little flip of the pyro machine and it gave me a good laugh that nothing was mentioned in the video. A brilliant aid to building though
I really liked the rug glitch into the dumpster - it gave me an idea I'd been thinking about for quite some time. Basically, I want to create a Harry Potter style castle out on Spectacle Island, but was having trouble coming up with a good way to give the walls a bit better texture than the starkly smooth concrete foundations offer. Now, I might end up using crates, radios, etc and play around with creating a decent castle wall.
One cool think you can do is pillar glitch some wire fencing into the concrete foundations to add texture. Here's a video on pillar glitching if you haven't seen it: ruclips.net/video/M9OQAseCIcg/видео.html
Yeah, that's one of the earlier ones I watched. I've got the door set in the Jamaica Plains house and I'm using the looks of that video to give myself practice. I've got a turret set into the bus with the reverse basketball hoop - one thing I did different was pillar glitch a line of the tiny light boxes along the bottom and set them to 1 red, 3 white, 1 blue to fit with police lights. I also noticed that in your shop class intro you've used the back of the milk machine (to add variety and different shapes I assume) and I really enjoy discovering stuff like that.
Thank you! I didn't see any good use for this workshop, or...I guess...I didn't bother to find one...so...I'll be producing ammo. 😊 I was thinking yesterday, how finding the right ammo has suddenly become difficult and buying it is expensive... and why can't I make it? Problem solved. Edit: I stuck around for the AP Class. ...wire glitch... always learning Thanks
Also you can connect the vaccum hopper directly to the Workbench...and it works ! It will use all the scrap you have in your Workbench, meaning it uses what your settlers bring when they are scavenging, meaning it can potentially make your manufacturing fully automatised.
Indeed. The only problem with that is that I think it also uses everything at all the other settlements you have linked through provisioners as well. That can be a hassle sometimes.
The height matters too, if you sink the container or the hopper, it can mess it up. I generally just use it to break down the junk in my workshop, and then store them so that it makes us less likely to get attacked. ;p I like to keep my workshops mostly empty. It is best to use the recycler first, as sometimes when it automatically breaks down items, it will not give you all of the components it should. As someone who used mods, I also used the Manufacturing Expanded mod to use the Auto Butcher for more food.
I like using my hopper to pull stuff straight out of the workshop, using sorters to only pull the items I need into the manufacturers and send the rest to the workshop for another pull-through.
I have spent exactly zero time actually manufacturing, but I was thinking exactly the same thing once I learned about sorters and such. What do you use to get the unused scrap back INTO the workshop??
@@richardmerchant4998 That might actually be a piece from a mod called Workshop Extended that I thought was a vanilla workshop peice, sorry, but it is a conveyer end that stores everything in the workshop.
@@christopherthompson8609 Hey, no worries. I was just happy to actually see a comment from a day ago, as opposed to a year ago. Haha. I would only set up one settlement with manufacturing currently, so my plan was to just have the unused scrap cycle back within a very close proximity to my workbench anyway, and just do a manual (Take All) and (Store All Junk) periodically. Once I beat the game without mods, I plan on dosing up heavy, so I'll keep my eyes peeled for that in the future!

Well when you have 2 settlements with all the shops invested they start to pay off the building by themselves so it gets fun
I've always wondered if I was the only one. 😅 Glad to hear that other people also take their time.
It's hard to choose everyday between exploring,questing, building, watching shop class vids wich leads to more tests and building, or real life😂

I just found you and I'm happy I did! I was really confused about the machinery stuff but now I understand it better! The way you explain things makes my ADHD go wHEeEeEeeE (aka you do it very well :D). You are very kind sir, thank you for existing and making my day better.
Your voice is perfect for these kinds of videos lol thanks for the tutorial! It was very helpful. Awesome side tips!
This is one of the BEST video I have ever seen on RUclips explaining something that is both complex and unknown by game players. God Bless your articulation and explanations of everything. Its a PERFECT video! (+1 Sub)
Hey I really appreciate that. Glad to have you on board!
The best tutorial on this I've seen yet.
This is absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much for all of your videos. I'm new to this game and your videos have helped me so much. Appreciate it.
My main use for the manufacturing was crafting .44 ammo. Normally the standard vendors would only have a few dozen rounds, and the unlisted vendors like the woman near Fairline Hill Estates still only had 100 shots. With the ammunition plant though I could craft a 1,000 rounds for myself and use that to take on the entire Commonwealth.
Im taking a deeper play with settlements and this was truly helpful thanks
This went from “put things here, then tell it to do this, and then it makes the thingy” to utter magic
I didn't realize this was released a few weeks ago till I saw the comments, thanks for making these, I'm tryna make an efficient wasteland
This is what many were waiting for good job man, I'm sure some on has said it but the vacuum hopper can also pull straight from the work bench as well.
Little note didn't get a chance to watch the whole video at the time of comment because of work so you may have said it later on.
Haha, thanks Aaron. I did say it later on, at about 21:00. But good lookin' out!
I just picked up this game on steam last weekend, looking forward to fixing up sanctuary. I don't like mods, thanks for these videos. Never knew about the rug and pillar glitches
Thank you for showing this, I assumed it just automatically pulled the ingredients from my workshop, I never got far into building my ammunition factory in the castle.
I like how you got the direction of the top level belts and fireworks manufacturer wrong, and then sneakily switched them in between cuts.
It was already long enough of a video ;-)
The best things about this game is Dogmeat and the creativity in the customization. The possibilities are endless. Well done >:0
That's crazy cool, has no idea you could do these sorta things in fallout 4. I've been playing like a "simpleton" so to speak. It was kinda fun yet boring.
This definitely has my intrigued, I may be dusting off the old Xbox one and building wild settlements 🤘
I am so late to the party but you sir are the bob ross of settlement building.
Lol nice editing skills, thought nobody noticed you place the pyro machine backwards at first. Was literally waiting for you to start it and see it go the wrong way.
HOORAY!!! I can wait for more! I always look forward to a new class!
Pilot Knight I’m not nitpicking but... you CAN wait for more?
Well,good on you for being patient 😂
Thank you, I was intimidated by this add-on. Its appreciated bro, once again thanks.
👍
Gday! Always go for your vids when I’m lost about this game lol, brilliant video, brilliant explanation, thanks!!
Glad to hear it!
I have been manufacturing my own ammo on my achievement cleanup run I’ve been doing and it is such a tremendous help keeping myself stocked on ammo.
If you just go to the castle, place water purifiers by the dozen, in the water. Place a bed and workshop in the castle armory, you can buy a ton of ammo from the minutemen lady with waters and sleep to reset her inventory and do over and over.
I have unlimited resources thanks to an exploit I’m using on the achievements run I didn’t side with the Garvy boys so the castle is still unavailable so I just have five ammo plants popping out the ammo and since it’s overstocked I have more ammo then I could possibly need, working on the dlc achievements for nukacola world and far harbor now
this was so cool! a terminal is what i was missing. now to make ammo for my fave gun!
Great video as always. I messed with the machines a little bit. I am always running low on ammo for the last minute. Just couldn't figure out which containers were to be used. Thanks a million.
Ah yes, the 2mm EC is perfect for the ammo plant. You need Gun Nut 4 for that, but if you have that then that's a great source. It still might be cheaper to buy the ammo from a vendor. But when I had Cait using a Flaming Gauss rifle I was always running low on her ammo too.
I skip the whole starting container thing. I just put the raw materials directly into manufacturing machinery and then set what I want to build. It goes from there. Granted, its not as cool looking/fun as watching raw materials getting loaded into the builder. It does, on the other hand, save space and speeds things up.
I was about to ask if you could just manually load the assembler & skip the vacuum hopper, and I saw this reply, so thanks for clearing that up.
Just want to say. Keep up the good work . Love watching your videos I always get. A lot ideas . And playing without mod Isn’t easy ..
Love this series bud!. Great work bro keep em coming.👍
Hey thanks Ricky!
Great Video! Even as a die-hard modded user, this was very informative and helped me figure stuff out! I've definitely subscribed to see what you do in the future, and I'll be going back to look at your other tutorials. I'm a die-hard settlement builder and its nice to see people who want things to look nice and tidy like a realistic settlement and not just the ramshackle shacks that most of the NPCs build for themselves in this and the other games :)
Awesome. And it's good to hear from mod users that my lessons help!
Really good stuff. Thanks for making things simple and clear
Yeah I've been watching you for some time now. And I still suck at building. But I am getting better at it. So thank you.
I love it you the RUclipsr that need to make mods reviews and stuff your good at what you do you explain every detail that is appropriate for the time you ready for your good at it i love it keep it up man im new and im already love this Channel
👍
I know its 2020 im watching this i don't care you done good in it😂😂😂
Woot! I been waiting for this lesson!
I have been waiting for this lesson❤
Went back to old school.. I'm going to do a run with no mods. Re installing fallout 4 tonight
Nice! And you'll have the opportunity to do this as well: ruclips.net/video/rBYjusRuEIE/видео.html
From what I have seen (tested), each manufacturing line has to be isolated in a closed loop, meaning they must each be powered by their own generator(s) and not connected to another line (if you wish to run multiple lines at a time) or the terminals will be in conflict with one another and won't initialize the option sequence. For those of us who wants functionality over form, I recommend inputting resources straight into the builder and not wasting resources building a vacuum hopper as it takes way too long to carry from container to hopper and into builder.
Paul, i'd love to see you do a wall-clipping restoration video of Croup Manor. it's an excellent site for wall-clipping and makes a great example of how to restore a pre-war building.
[edit] i wanted to suggest that armor, clothing, and weapon mills are really good for outfitting your large numbers of settlers if you are going for themed outfits.
Croup Manor and Taffington Boat house are both on my list for restoration! Man I can't wait until I make videos every day. :)
the clipping on taffington is really difficult, but you can re-roof it with the warehouse roof and it looks pretty reasonable, when i did this i added a balcony around the top floor.
Croup however has a uniquely low clipping rate on the walls and you can actually almost entirely restore it without using the pillar or rug glitches.
Those bucket type chairs you put together. I keep forgetting to try that and see if maybe you could put a plant pot in it. I hope that would work as it would make a nice looking planter. Thanks for your videos. Hubby and I have picked up a lot of good tips and general knowledge from watching you.
That's a great idea actually. If I use that in an upcoming settlement, I'll definitely credit you. 👍
I’m late as hell but I finally got to download every add on and add mods and update my game ty for your very useful tips I spend time more building then playing the game itself
Can I just say I noticed the little flip of the pyro machine and it gave me a good laugh that nothing was mentioned in the video. A brilliant aid to building though
Good eye. Some people complain my videos are too long, so I didn't want to waste any more time than necessary ;-)
I really liked the rug glitch into the dumpster - it gave me an idea I'd been thinking about for quite some time. Basically, I want to create a Harry Potter style castle out on Spectacle Island, but was having trouble coming up with a good way to give the walls a bit better texture than the starkly smooth concrete foundations offer. Now, I might end up using crates, radios, etc and play around with creating a decent castle wall.
One cool think you can do is pillar glitch some wire fencing into the concrete foundations to add texture. Here's a video on pillar glitching if you haven't seen it: ruclips.net/video/M9OQAseCIcg/видео.html
Yeah, that's one of the earlier ones I watched. I've got the door set in the Jamaica Plains house and I'm using the looks of that video to give myself practice. I've got a turret set into the bus with the reverse basketball hoop - one thing I did different was pillar glitch a line of the tiny light boxes along the bottom and set them to 1 red, 3 white, 1 blue to fit with police lights.
I also noticed that in your shop class intro you've used the back of the milk machine (to add variety and different shapes I assume) and I really enjoy discovering stuff like that.
Can’t wait to see those reveals!
Thank you! I didn't see any good use for this workshop, or...I guess...I didn't bother to find one...so...I'll be producing ammo. 😊 I was thinking yesterday, how finding the right ammo has suddenly become difficult and buying it is expensive... and why can't I make it? Problem solved.
Edit:
I stuck around for the AP Class.
...wire glitch... always learning
Thanks
Great video, loved the extra credit in there too,
👍
Hold on 10 more visits to diamond city
Thanks for the tutorial SUPER HELPFUL
Also you can connect the vaccum hopper directly to the Workbench...and it works !
It will use all the scrap you have in your Workbench, meaning it uses what your settlers bring when they are scavenging, meaning it can potentially make your manufacturing fully automatised.
Indeed. The only problem with that is that I think it also uses everything at all the other settlements you have linked through provisioners as well. That can be a hassle sometimes.
The height matters too, if you sink the container or the hopper, it can mess it up.
I generally just use it to break down the junk in my workshop, and then store them so that it makes us less likely to get attacked. ;p I like to keep my workshops mostly empty.
It is best to use the recycler first, as sometimes when it automatically breaks down items, it will not give you all of the components it should.
As someone who used mods, I also used the Manufacturing Expanded mod to use the Auto Butcher for more food.
i highly appreciate the short attention span out
I like using my hopper to pull stuff straight out of the workshop, using sorters to only pull the items I need into the manufacturers and send the rest to the workshop for another pull-through.
I have spent exactly zero time actually manufacturing, but I was thinking exactly the same thing once I learned about sorters and such. What do you use to get the unused scrap back INTO the workshop??
@@richardmerchant4998 That might actually be a piece from a mod called Workshop Extended that I thought was a vanilla workshop peice, sorry, but it is a conveyer end that stores everything in the workshop.
@@christopherthompson8609 Hey, no worries. I was just happy to actually see a comment from a day ago, as opposed to a year ago. Haha.
I would only set up one settlement with manufacturing currently, so my plan was to just have the unused scrap cycle back within a very close proximity to my workbench anyway, and just do a manual (Take All) and (Store All Junk) periodically.
Once I beat the game without mods, I plan on dosing up heavy, so I'll keep my eyes peeled for that in the future!
Awesome Job Paul! Love it!
Much appreciated Justin!
