1. This build is just amazing. I love how you used the natural quirks of the settlement to sort of guide you and inspire your creativity. 2. I really appreciated that last bit where you were honest about being burnt out. I feel like you don't hear a lot of creators admit those sorts of things. I can't wait to see the next build and I hope your break is well spent!
Rewatching this to motivate myself to hookup my XBox and finish some builds and then start anew inspired by the scrappy realistic style of your builds. 🙌 The TV + desk combo is brilliant.
A fine homestead you've built yourself here, wastelander, but with all that mutfruit planted you're only a blight away from ruin, and that's if you don't fallow yer soil first. Diversification and rotation are a farmer's best friends. (fr though, enjoy a well-earned break. it must be exhausting having to drag these awesome builds kicking and screaming out of todd's jank)
Nice! I’ve looked forward to this one as County Crossing is one of my main settlement hubs. I did the outer walls the same way, but with my opening up by the ruined house. I’ve got constant Provisioner traffic and they all tend to approach from up that way; same for the trader caravan. I don’t remove trees either, just whatever’s fallen on the ground. I rebuilt the ruined house walls the same way you did, but I’ve built upwards… 3 stories plus a rooftop lookout and a large awning/deck area that extends towards the tin shack. It’s mostly beds for all the settlers & provisioners and about a dozen suits of Power armor out on the awning. I suppose it is boxy-looking like you mentioned but I’m usually building with functionality, defense and settler happiness in mind, not aesthetics. My County Crossing requires a lot of beds! You never seem to have enough beds, imho, but maybe if you don’t have Provisioners involved that makes the difference. The pathways look terrific; that’s a great technique you’ve developed there. I’d never seen the elevator in action before, so that was very interesting. Will the settlers use it as well? Are you dismantling your old settlements in order to decorate new ones? You always have magazines strewn all over the place (or placed in those spinner racks, I don’t know how you’re doing that!) I don’t have excess magazines just lying around to use as decorations; they’re far too valuable and rare! I’m still mystified at your perfect placement of all the objects inside the settlement. I’m playing on PC and controlling and placing even a can of purified water is incredibly difficult. These settlements of yours would take me hundreds of hours to duplicate if I could even manage it in the first place. I think I’d pull all my remaining hair out in frustration. P.S. I was at a comedy show last weekend and the group on stage used a couple front-row audience members throughout the night in their routine. The first guy they roped into participating was 71 years old and when they asked him if he had any hobbies, he said, “playing Fallout 4.” Pretty cool! 😃
This was mega! Really cool. Ace seeing you do a massive building from scratch and all. Really cool tip about the warehouse floors with the warehouse pillars too! Enjoy the break over the holidays, and come back fresh because we all love watching you work my dude 😎
Great job @shawzzo. Some pretty cool features and techniques. I watch your vids from start to finish taking it all in, including looking out for the obligatory deathclaw meat in the bath 😉
You've inspired me to do my own tour of the Commonwealth again, I've pinched a few of your build ideas along the way, specifically Red Rocket and the Slog which I'd tend not to do much with in each playthrough. Great scrappy builds! It would take some time but I'd love to see a Transfer Settlements mod of all your work.
I really like the way you use the mutfruit plants in this and your sunshine tidings build. It makes it feel so lively and full and a proper field that’s well established and could actually feed a settlement.
Excellent work as always! One thing you could do is add half floors around the top of the elevator to create a balcony for guards to stand on. Can also put down stuff there.
@@TDogg-yw3wwyup and some people are scared to use simple mods that fix annoying issues. Just for anyone that tries to debate me, I played vanilla fallout 4 for over 5 years, have almost 2k hours in, and I can say for one when I used to play the game w/out mods and it felt downright horrendous XD compared to a solid Load Order.
You definitely deserve a break! Thanks for making such cool videos for us all to enjoy. But you deserve to be having a good time too, burnout is no fun and you gotta take care of yourself. So enjoy the holidays and come back to this when you feel ready to enjoy it again. I look forward to your last video of the year, and to seeing what you come up with next year 💜
You've given me so much inspiration for my own settlement builds that I can't thank you enough. Enjoy the holiday break and looking forward to more next year (after your next video of course) 🤙🤙🤙
You are MUCH nicer to settlers that continue to get in your way than I am. Around the third time someone interferes with me....they get disabled. Settlers are a dime a dozen....oh wait...Fallout...a cap a dozen. Your version of County Crossing looks and flows better than anything I ever built in this location. Thanks for sharing.
You did a great job on that custom building. Whenever I try to make anything large it just ends up empty feeling and purposeless. Amazing settlement build!
I just wanna say how impressed I am with your attention to details. I build settlements for fun, but I'm not anywhere near this creative.... or patient haha. You really have a cool way of looking at things.
I've really enjoyed these builds, and I love that I can use these glitches on Xbox! You've given me the inspiration to get back on FO4 and revamp my settlements.
You deserve a break mate. You do awesome work and I like watching your videos over others. You got some great ideas that I've used for some of my settlements Cheers
Another Shawzzo banger. If I kept typing what I LOVED about this settlement, I’d still be typing. Currently the best settlement builder out there. Hope you enjoy your break, it can be so creatively draining and time-consuming to churn these out. In the time you’ve done all these, I’ve finished Taffington Boathouse & I’m closing in on Sanctuary, and I don’t have the patience to junk decorate, so the effort you put into these is always appreciated.
Another fantastic build. I’m waiting on setting up my XBox until I get a TV stand, but I’ve got Notes in my phone of settlement ideas because of your videos. Enjoy the holidays! Always looking forward to your stuff, but get rest 🫶
Another excellent build! I have an older game of mine where I built this settlement into a very scrappy looking city. It has many buildings and even a mansion I built for my character's home. I should try and figure out how to get a video of me walking through the settlement so I can show it off...🤔 But anyway, have a good holiday season. I look forward to your next vid 😊
so cool as always ! i've been binge watching your rebuilding videos since yesterday and i really like the way you always keep it realistic (compared to all those crazy moded builds out there lol) i am also wondering if you are planning to rebuild vault 88 as well !
I cant wait to see how you will fix up Murkwater and The Castle these builds area always so creative and I can't wait to use some of these techniques on my playthrough
Excellent job, although I put my watchtower in the corner facing the direction raiders usually come from. I covered that raised bit with concrete and slapped artillery on it, but I like your idea WAY better. Using the trees to protect the turrets is a nice trick I used often as well. Take your time off, rest, recuperate and try not to think about the MONUMENTAL task that is Spectacle Island...
If settlement decorating doesn't work out, you have a future as an audiobook narrator. I could specifically see Joyce's "Dubliners" fitting well. Not just because of your nationality, but your calm matter-of-fact delivery with just a tinge of dry humor. Either way, great build as always. Happy to see you keeping on keeping on. I'll be ecstatic when you take on Egret Tours Marina. Happy building, Shawzzo. Thanks for sharing. EDIT: Enjoy your break, enjoy your holidays. Take your time. We'll be here when you get back.
I haven't watched your videos in order, just whatever pops up in my feed, until today...I didn't even know you had an entire Sanctuary series (you mentioned it in some video I watched of yours earlier)...I only knew about a couple of houses...so, I guess I need to visit the channel videos. 😊 I did watch your Co-Op build, but it wasn't until viewing this one that the idea of following the terrain made sense and I'm wondering WHY that didn't occur to me prior, the fence-line is nice. I play on PS4, I do have a PC version, but I haven't gone passed character build, and I do have all the DLCs, but I haven't installed Nuka, Automatron, or Far Harbor..so I always see the cool stuff that I haven't explored. I'll install them later. Building to me is a lot of fun, and the limitations are a good challenge, but sometimes I catch myself yelling at the TV, too. 😂 Anyway, I don't know how to upload pictures from PS4 to Discord, I'd like to share. Maybe I'll figure it out someday...or I'll just take snapshots...idk, but I've seen other cool uploads in there. As always, thanks for the inspiration.
Ooo just thought, outpost zimonja, murkwater construction site, spectacle island and kingsport lighthouse are the only settlements left that could be used as Mercer safe house for the railroad, maybe have one of them sorta themed towards a safe house sorta style
I absolutely hate that there's a lot of things that are not scrap compatible in this game. Like, why tf is there an old car in the middle of my water source that I cant get rid of?? This literally is what got me into mods with Scrap Everything 😂😅 I love your builds, I just subscribed and I am definitely going to binge the series and get some inspiration. Enjoy your break, man!
🤣🤣🤣 the troublemaker in the stocks 🤣🤣🤣 Another great build. I appreciate your creativity and the story that goes along with each settlement. Thanks for sharing. 💚 edit: enjoy your vacation!
Good build, although you probably could have put either half floors and the 1/4 floors or some shack pieces to make it look covered around the edge of the watch tower that would have allowed you to put a chair or table or something up there for someone to sit down, maybe a swivel office chair.
I always try to implement some of your ideas but on a much smaller scale. I try not to go over the build limit cos my weak ass PS4 would crash constantly 😂😂 Your settlements always look epic. Good job, as usual 👏🏾👏🏾
awesome build! i love the entrance area its so cool lore wise. also that shack staircase is the most awkward shape ever, some questionable design by bethesda
It would appear the algorithm has chosen you lol. but these are very well and interestingly done, plus you can still do different versions of stuff in the future.
Loved that you punished the guy that was getting in the way 😂😂😂
I actually like the watch tower, it adds to the appeal of the security portion of the build.
1. This build is just amazing. I love how you used the natural quirks of the settlement to sort of guide you and inspire your creativity.
2. I really appreciated that last bit where you were honest about being burnt out. I feel like you don't hear a lot of creators admit those sorts of things. I can't wait to see the next build and I hope your break is well spent!
I cant use rug glitch😢
The building turned out looking amazing. Whenever I build a huge building it's always super intimidating to me figuring out what to do with it
I love how you casually walked by the guy in the stocks. Just another decor item in the wasteland! ☢
Thank you for another great job. I look forward to your return. Rest well, get new inspirations and take care of yourself!

You have such an amazing eye for detail and a keen aptitude for seeing the potential in any given location. Great work!

Enjoy your time off, you truely deserve it!

I do really like what you do with the pathways
What an awesome build, love how much effort you put into this and without Mods. think it's time I started playing it again lol
I feel like even after all setttlements are fixed up and defensible, Preston Garvey will always find a settlement that needs your help
This was mega! Really cool. Ace seeing you do a massive building from scratch and all. Really cool tip about the warehouse floors with the warehouse pillars too!
Enjoy the break over the holidays, and come back fresh because we all love watching you work my dude 😎
Great job @shawzzo. Some pretty cool features and techniques. I watch your vids from start to finish taking it all in, including looking out for the obligatory deathclaw meat in the bath 😉
Love the clean look! Of course the scrappy junk look is fun but a really well organized clean settlement looks great!
County crossings had always been one of my favorite settlements
mine too

Bethesda sure choose some shit locations for their settlement spots, everyone of them are small and full of shit that cant be deleted.
😢
Makes at least half sense to me. In the apocalypse, you work with what you got
Mods can fix both of those issues just fyi
@TDogg-yw3ww dude, that's a total mute point

it has become my ritual to watch your videos before i sleep.
thanks man! keep on posting settlement videos
never would have thought to use the railings to highlight the natural pathways in a settlement. great idea
“Scream at the tv” I felt that man.. your videos have been helping a lot for inspiration. Thanks for the help but I applaud you for your patience
You've given me so much inspiration for my own settlement builds that I can't thank you enough. Enjoy the holiday break and looking forward to more next year (after your next video of course) 🤙🤙🤙

You deserve a break mate. You do awesome work and I like watching your videos over others. You got some great ideas that I've used for some of my settlements
Cheers
always nice to listen your vids while doing chores, thanks for the content!
Always like your builds Shawzzo. Country Crossing is one of my favorite build sizes, nice blank canvas location for settlement.
well done shawzzo great build, you're doing really well for yourself. Keep it up lad 👍🏻
That is a nice build
Another great Shawzzo build. Take some rest if you need it mate! We will be here when you are ready.
The pathway and fencing with all the mutfruit behind it looks amazing 😍
Love your builds bro! You’re killing it! Makes me want to play the game again!
Another amazing build ❤️ Have a lovely much deserved break.

Amazing build yet again! You take that rest mate! Looking forward to the next ones! Especially Far Harbor in the far future 😂
These farming settlements have been 🔥
These builds are seriously amazing, real talk though you’d need a million caps for the scrap that goes into these alone!

A fallout player who enjoys building settlements? ❤❤❤❤
I hope they refine the system in fallout 5...they gotta see videos like these and think "wow"
@forthenight3265 knowing Bethesda, they will make it worse somehow 😭😭😭
@@Truck_Kun_Driver it's sad that that's probably true
@@Truck_Kun_Driverthe building will be immaculate but literally everything else will suck ass. They’ll have to market it like Minecraft lol
Got me back to building thanks for the inspo 👍
"I do scream at the TV sometimes" I'm glad I'm not the only one ... :D

so cool as always ! i've been binge watching your rebuilding videos since yesterday and i really like the way you always keep it realistic (compared to all those crazy moded builds out there lol) i am also wondering if you are planning to rebuild vault 88 as well !
I like to think I spend my time well getting home at 3am eating dinner to watching Fallout 4 settlement builds lol
That Pathways and the roof again such cool ideas! Very nice build ❤
I can't believe there's still half left!! Also I hope you have a great break and I can't wait for more vids!
Great content mate, looking forward to watching the channel grow, good taste in builds 😂🔥

I return to Fallout every time you build a nice, good-looking settlement.
my build : ;(
Another killer build. Well done!
honestly i’m just impressed with the restraint you showed by only putting white t shirt guy in the stocks and not shooting him in the face ✊🏼😔
Looks Amazing Mate🤩
Rebuilding locations was one of the favorite things I did i fallout 4, but what you build is amazing and really cool
I like how you think about the back story with all your builds.
The settlements look really good when you have finished them
3:40 dawg, that’s genius.
Very nice settlement build man.
well done on hallway soon, merry Christmas and good luck
🤣🤣🤣 the troublemaker in the stocks 🤣🤣🤣 Another great build. I appreciate your creativity and the story that goes along with each settlement. Thanks for sharing. 💚

-really nice- fantastic build _!!_
15:52 you got the ghost settler exercising!
awesome build! i love the entrance area its so cool lore wise. also that shack staircase is the most awkward shape ever, some questionable design by bethesda
Can't wait to see what you do with the electrical tower on Abernathy Farms.
It would appear the algorithm has chosen you lol. but these are very well and interestingly done, plus you can still do different versions of stuff in the future.
I burst out laughing when I saw the guy in the way put in the stocks 😂😂
Great build!
Assigning the annoying interloper to the pillary is so good.
11:31 Got a nice painting of Will Shen there I see, one of the good quest designers at Bethesda, who sadly left the company after Starfield.
Gonna miss the content dude!❤
12:05 Strange angle to have this guy facing with a plunger, rags and floor matt at his arse lol. This cannot have been unintentional.
