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!
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)
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.
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! 😃
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.
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 😉
I don’t even play this game anymore after the last recent update making certain areas unplayable BUT I have absolutely been loving to watch every video you put out. The settlement building was always my favorite when I first played this game. I’d sink sooo many hours into just that part alone. Never made anything quite as detailed as you have though.
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 😎
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
@@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.
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.
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.
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 💜
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.
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!
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
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 😊
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.
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
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!
Been liking the builds so far. But now it's getting a little bit repetitive, I would like to see something more creative, like a Brahman farm, a drug camper school bus, a factory of weapons, A settlement where mirekurks are raised and trained, a military compound, a children's of atom settlement with only the metal walls, little lamplight remade? A zoo?? Arcade? Something new, I know u will be able to make something very special. Keep the good work.
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
once you're done with all the settlements you're gonna do in this save you should do a montage video of quick tours of all the settlements in this save, to really give a feel for the society you've created
on this build alot of npc predesigned places got covered, specially the doc caravan near the campfire on the side of the road, where most of the attacks come from i use scrap everything to get rid of those npc actions places but the ones for the caravans i leave there so it looks more natural the game
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 👏🏾👏🏾
🤣🤣🤣 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!
I am currently playing Fallout 4 for the first time and am using this series as a kind of companion guide for inspiration on my on settlements...however they are pretty basic in terms of decorations.
Great build. I have noticed I been focusing on building up all the settlements I have attached to me. I build greenhouses to grow food. I also have went back to add power water pumps at sites that don’t have a pond. I do have a question and it’s settlement happiness the highest I got is 85
Yeah screw that guy in the way 😂 send him to the arena! What about streaming DayZ? If you like Stalker then DayZ might interest you too. As always great video of another amazing build ❤
Just finished the video, I agree u should take a rest, pretty sure doing only settlements and hearing the same old settler voice lines is not gonna do something good for u, still you've managed to be unique and build a community, time to build other things, take a good rest, also a good video idea, make the viewers build some stuff and just react to it, maybe a live stream, cheers
When you set up the buildings or houses, what do you pay attention to? That rooms are filled with objects or details? Asked cheekily, do some facilities actually make sense?
In other vids he's said he uses the weapon drop glitch. Drop weapons on the ground (gamma guns are best but any weapon works) and then go into build mode and store them. Each stored weapon drops the bar a small amount. Since you are open to using mods I'm sure there are several out there. Hopefully someone else knows their names.
There is a lack of much more basic decoration and placeable elements for more liveliness, such as posters, flags, different colors for children, cupboards, boxes.

Loved that you punished the guy that was getting in the way 😂😂😂

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!
I actually like the watch tower, it adds to the appeal of the security portion of the build.
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

Love the clean look! Of course the scrappy junk look is fun but a really well organized clean settlement looks great!
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.
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 😉
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

mine too

Enjoy the break over the holidays, and come back fresh because we all love watching you work my dude 😎
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
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

EDIT: Enjoy your break, enjoy your holidays. Take your time. We'll be here when you get back.
never would have thought to use the railings to highlight the natural pathways in a settlement. great idea
One of my favourite settlement redos so far. Great job as always!
Enjoy your time off, you truely deserve it!
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!
well done shawzzo great build, you're doing really well for yourself. Keep it up lad 👍🏻
That is a nice build
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) 🤙🤙🤙
Mate, your decorating game is next level!
Another great Shawzzo build. Take some rest if you need it mate! We will be here when you are ready.
These builds are seriously amazing, real talk though you’d need a million caps for the scrap that goes into these alone!
Always like your builds Shawzzo. Country Crossing is one of my favorite build sizes, nice blank canvas location for settlement.
“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
Really impressed with the new ideas you come up with every settlement. Can't wait to see what you come out with next
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

Simply amazing. ❤ I love that your character looks like you, too. Lol
I noticed that aswell 😆👍
I return to Fallout every time you build a nice, good-looking settlement.
my build : ;(
it has become my ritual to watch your videos before i sleep.
thanks man! keep on posting settlement videos
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 ✊🏼😔
The pathway and fencing with all the mutfruit behind it looks amazing 😍
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 enjoy the no mods builds. Enjoy your Christmas break everybody needs time off now and then.
always nice to listen your vids while doing chores, thanks for the content!
Another amazing build ❤️ Have a lovely much deserved break.
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.
That Pathways and the roof again such cool ideas! Very nice build ❤
Amazing build yet again! You take that rest mate! Looking forward to the next ones! Especially Far Harbor in the far future 😂

I see you’ve embraced the mutfruit spam
The settlements look really good when you have finished them
Awesome man. I'm looking forward to your Castle 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!
I like to think I spend my time well getting home at 3am eating dinner to watching Fallout 4 settlement builds lol
The mechanics house was my fave, looks amazing!
Been liking the builds so far. But now it's getting a little bit repetitive, I would like to see something more creative, like a Brahman farm, a drug camper school bus, a factory of weapons,

Outdone yourself this time mate, brilliant effort!
Can't wait to see what you do with the electrical tower on Abernathy Farms.
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
once you're done with all the settlements you're gonna do in this save you should do a montage video of quick tours of all the settlements in this save, to really give a feel for the society you've created
It's so sad they didn't include those petro holding spheres right next to the settlement in the build area. Could have been an amazing location!
well done on hallway soon, merry Christmas and good luck

16:00 Recommend also putting a yellow paint can next to the red.
These farming settlements have been 🔥
Great job, and thank you for the video! How often do your settlements get attacked?
Shawzzo mate you need to get yourself 5 acres and get stuck into it 👍 excellent work every video
Very nice settlement build man.
That pillar is the mvp of this game.
Thanks dude, enjoy your break!
3:40 dawg, that’s genius.
I burst out laughing when I saw the guy in the way put in the stocks 😂😂
Great build. I have noticed I been focusing on building up all the settlements I have attached to me. I build greenhouses to grow food. I also have went back to add power water pumps at sites that don’t have a pond. I do have a question and it’s settlement happiness the highest I got is 85
I'm wondering what can this guy do with mods when this is all built without them
You’ve earnt your subscribers mate. Good job
Yeah screw that guy in the way 😂 send him to the arena!
What about streaming DayZ? If you like Stalker then DayZ might interest you too. As always great video of another amazing build ❤
Are gonna do the vault also like the settlements? The area is huge. Also the vault furniture helps for other settlements 😉
Just finished the video, I agree u should take a rest, pretty sure doing only settlements and hearing the same old settler voice lines is not gonna do something good for u, still you've managed to be unique and build a community, time to build other things, take a good rest, also a good video idea, make the viewers build some stuff and just react to it, maybe a live stream, cheers
Hey mate great video and a very nice idea.
I was wondering if you could use the enclave stuff in a future build
Live stream would be cool but do try to enjoy the holidays
When you set up the buildings or houses, what do you pay attention to?
That rooms are filled with objects or details? Asked cheekily, do some facilities actually make sense?
Another killer build. Well done!
Enjoy your vacation mate!
Love your builds. Have you done a vault yet? Id love to see what you do.
-really nice- fantastic build _!!_
15:52 you got the ghost settler exercising!
Enjoy your break, you deserve it!
Gonna miss the content dude!❤
Really really well done mate
You love this mutefruit)))) why zero cats pics?)
Awesome build.
I'm new to xbox mods, can I ask what building mod you use so you can build a lot in a settlement.
In other vids he's said he uses the weapon drop glitch. Drop weapons on the ground (gamma guns are best but any weapon works) and then go into build mode and store them. Each stored weapon drops the bar a small amount.
Since you are open to using mods I'm sure there are several out there. Hopefully someone else knows their names.
There is a lack of much more basic decoration and placeable elements
for more liveliness, such as posters, flags, different colors for children, cupboards, boxes.
