@@Tunnelsnakesfool i wasnt able to finish what i had planned within the 100% so i removed that limit and the height limit with mods lol Really should be caling sanctuary a city at this point.
When Wasteland Workshop came out i got inspired to build an arena at Starlight Drive In and it slowly turned into a small city with the arena in the middle. Kept the irradiated puddle of water in the middle of the arena which was great since I also became a Follower of Atom and used that as a baptism site. Any Heretic was fed to deathclaws
It’s either a big ass city of the new future, a badass Raider settlement, or a fortress that is invincible….this place is always getting the most creative ideas from the community XD
Facts. Starlight Drive-In has everything you could want in a settlement location. It’s got plenty of space, access to a water supply, natural defense towers, etc. All you have to do is wall it off essentially and you’re in good shape. I usually build some sort of wall structure around the outer edge and then place buildings in a circular pattern around the pond in the middle. Then I place an industrial water purifier in the middle of the pond with a few extra manual water pumps scattered around the area to easily refill empty bottles. I use the extra space for building a garden section for food and a marketplace for my vendors. Then I usually place checkpoints at the entrances and guard towers with turrets along the perimeter for increased defense. And as always I try and make room if possible for those sweet sweet Minutemen mortar launchers. If the settlement is attacked, I’ll usually grab a rifle with a scope and climb to the top of the theatre screen itself, as it makes for an excellent sniping nest.
I love your creativity I just looked at it like a tip 😂 I will have to make a city here! Curious, do you use mods to make building even better or just vanilla? Do you have a way to show off your creations? Maybe stream it and put on RUclips if possible so cool seeing what people come up with! Have a good day
Raze my settlement (it cleans everything in seconds even corpses and gives you materials) and workshop framework (all dlcs). Less chance of crashes if you build your own settlement.
I did a playthrough where every citizen of the settlement had clean laundered pre-war apparel, the shopkeepers were all in tuxedoes with fancy hats, it was such an awesome town.
I'm very new to the came due to the show. And I've only faced 2 deathclaws, your idea to some people may sound old but to me sounds like something I'd pay to see on the show
I love hangmans alley theres just something about building an apartment complex there thats always so rewarding. That and its pretty close to D city. Starlight is tied for second place with abernathy farm since I essentially built small western style towns there.
There’s a mod you can get that adds a small penthouse at the top! I always turn it into a small trading hub since, with the penthouse being patrolled. The penthouse is only three levels and easily customizable. The bedroom has a good view of the city too, so really good for dialogue too.
Turning Starlight into a fortress is magnificent, especially with Sim Settlements 2, and the ability to remove the projector/diner and projector screen.
It is a nice place. Who doesn’t want their own land that has its own drive-in theater? If it were in California, I’d name mine either Johnny Rockets or Ruby’s for the 50’s throwback. 😂
Blue train cars are an excellent way to quickly get some practical and good looking walls around the place, and they're the exact same colour as the central building!
Takes a few foundations but its a great spot! Ive got a fortress built on it with an indoor trading hub. I really enjoyed building there as its a blank slate with only 1 and a half small buildings work around 🫡
here is a good tip for supply line what you wanto to do is set up a settlments at every corner of the map and the center and then you set up the supply line so that each corner has supplies coming in and going out from every settlement and then set it up so that those 4 settlements are sending supplies to the centrt on and it will be like a trading hub
I always turn this it into my shopping district. With the Drumlin Diner, the chem pusher outside the diner, and Carla usually in a few spots nearby, its my go-to junk selling and cap stocking destination!
This settlement is like the perfect sandbox to test things out and for storage. I keep all my armor, power armor, and weapons(mods and base game) here on displays so I can see them rather than going through chests especially the armors for mixing and matching for settlers!
Theres a campfire mod that lets you turn the campfire into a workbench and scrap anything you want and start a settlement anywhere, the best settlements are ones built on highways with stairs leading up to them. You can build a whole safe city up there and put up a nasty defence on the only ai pathed entrance. With all workshop addons ans dlc, you got so many options. Like how about a concrete 9×9, 7 stories tall tower in the glowing sea? Or your own floating flotilla town on the ocean? Turn spectacle island into a maze with the ambush kit and infinitely farm exp and loot?
I usually built this place as a waypoint for my human provisioners. Automatron bots? A bug in the game (a common "feature" for games by Bethesda) tends to ALWAYS STRIP the mods on them and revert them to the base "naked Protectron" setup.
That's weird. I spread my robots out to be provisioners and the only one that reverts back to a basic robot is the one that goes from red rocket to the outdoor movie theatre.
@The Preacher I use it as a player home normally. Occasionally I've used it to test out new build methods and assets I've not tried yet, like the Grounded mod. I normally build in the same place the beach with the half sunk ships, between the blown out house and the hill with the workshop. It's the widest, smoothest area on the island.
I made a gaint ammo and munitions factory here. Bunch of garden beds of the roof producing stuff for adhesive. Downloaded a composter machine mod to turn scrap food into fertilizer. If I needed some extra cash I also had a drug lab in another building pumping out Jet. Mr Handy workers because why not. Was one of my favorite settlement builds
@@Tunnelsnakesfool use some mods, and make spectacle island the worlds biggest settlement, also, u could get rich a lot easier, since there water all around this island, with the mods, and ALOT OF WATER PURIFIER, I make 8’000 caps per in game day, and also with 12,000 waters per in game day x 16 caps= 19,200 caps to sell the water bottle for the venders, if u improve the venders, right now, I hadn’t been selling water right now, I been collecting it, and have 890,956, water bottle x 16 caps= 14,255,296, so I might be really rich right now
I always use it as my central trading hub. Send all my provisioners there and set up shops. Also fun that there is a point of interest or something under the bridge because random stuff spawns there every time I fast travel to the settlement. Which is also why I have three rocket turrets set up at that corner.
I used the screen as a base for defenses before I found Spectacle Island so now it’s the bed protected in the commonwealth while I’m chilling on an island 😂
I turned it into a weapons manufacturing and ammo mill with the facory update. Before, they operated as a farm. Sanctuary was my water farm and a fortress as i gave both places a literal wall of turrets.
When I first dwelled into base building in Fallout 4, I looked for a central place... And there was Starlight Drive-In. Perfectly placed. Close to a lot other settlements, huge open space, and it has everything you can ask for.
You're not wrong High vantage point on top of the movie screen for lookouts. Put turrets on the roof of the diner for anyone who gets past the lookout. Destroy the cars and speakers and put shacks, garden plots and stores. Put a purifier in the water source after destroying the barrels Boom a perfect settlement
I used to build big here but in my recent run I only used it as a supply depot for provisioners. It connects Red rocket, grey garden, tenpines and covenant.
I'm doing a run right now. Set-up a beacon, got sidetracked and forgot about Starlight for a couple days. Got a mission to go defend it and found it had 27 people living there
When I made a big base at that spot it didn’t matter how much I added or what I did with that space, it always had a super lonely ass vibe to it. Even with max settlers lol I couldn’t get used to it
Ngl so far I’ve had the most fun building from scratch here and it’s an amazing mid point between all of the northern settlements and some of the southern like hangman’s alley
The Castle and Spectacle Island are pretty good. Though I love the Castle Spectacle Island is really good for water gens and with such room and the contraptions DLC you can have factories.

As long as they pay their protection fee
I actually did that
@@Tunnelsnakesfoolwell if settlers call them settlements does that mean it’s a..raider ment?

Me with Hangman's Alley. It's amazing how creative you can get when you have such a small footprint to work with, and the only way is up.
oh i love that one. give me limitations and i’ll give you creativity.
Yes.
If you cant build out, built up! Raids had zero chance of getting past that pinhole points full of turrets. ❤
The Alley is my favorite settlement. It forces you to get creative.
@StripesOfValorPR Yup! Pretty sure I used my jump jets to get in and out over the roofs.
Safest settlement by far lol just had to farm on the roofs. 😂
"Scrap Everything" and "Place Anywhere" are essential here. O.o

It’s where I send companions that I know won’t like a decision I have to make in sanctuary.
I used to always live in red rocket, until I downloaded the apartment mod for Hangman’s Alley. It gives you a penthouse.
Red rocket is where i put all of my companions. No food or generators so you know how bad the happiness is there
Yall are saying red rocket truck stop but this is starlight drive in..

There's a nip in the air. Cold won't be good for my crops. Never is.
Wait, wrong game, sorry
how do I make a factory ?
I remember turning this place into a trading hub and called it Starlight City.
Damn, so im not original?
that building with all the windows is perfect for that
I do the same thing and I always make sure to put tons of lights and the neon letters from one of the DLCs is essential here.
Same, I also redirected all the northern settlements to starlight first then to sanctuary as some sort of trading hub
That was my idea for it as well. It's large, a lot of open space. Perfect for a trading hub

I did a playthrough where every citizen of the settlement had clean laundered pre-war apparel, the shopkeepers were all in tuxedoes with fancy hats, it was such an awesome town.
I once turned it into the headquarters of a cult that worshiped the wastelands only functional toilet.
Lol ngl I was thinking of this scene in TWD when I first came into Starlight Drive in😂😂

Block all entrance (except the main entrance) and send all companion here. Few missile turrets. And you can take on institute and BOS.
Yes that's my favorite spot

This is one of the central hubs for my settlements. Very good location.

Legit picked this spot on a whim when i redownloaded the game yesterday lmao
Id say starlight drive in and spectacle island are really good spots for building.
The people in my starlight drive in settlement are cannibals
I love that f****** location that's where I always build
I always focus on Sanctuary first. Having an established home prewar kinda just makes it natural for me. Plus i like that its in a corner of the map
Red rocket still got my heart
the super radioactive hole there is a nice touch
You're not wrong
High vantage point on top of the movie screen for lookouts.
Put turrets on the roof of the diner for anyone who gets past the lookout.
Destroy the cars and speakers and put shacks, garden plots and stores.
