I didn’t realise scrapping the guns worked I usually just store them. Save them for when I need them again.
Store them, then drop them again, then store them again.
It takes down the cap and you can reuse the same guns without scrapping
@@samuelthomas8777yes this is the correct answer.
use it a little bit. The limit is there for a reason. So dont go too crazy with this tip or your game might crash or there Will be some bugs.
@@kennethhansen207don’t listen to this dude, push the limits of the game. 😈
@@kennethhansen207 don’t listen to this. I used it a ton with the ps4 and I didn’t have problems.
Don't do the bookshelf technique to hide a hole or piper will write a article about you
As she should!
The bookshelf is funny one, Piper said the Diamond city use to have a hole in the wall and patched with one bookshelf, this makes sense
Lore friendly settlement building
Ah i get it now, i was like "blends in with the environment??" 😂
Bro ive been playing since launch that settlement build limit is super useful thank you
use gamma guns. they lower the size the most for their weight
Be careful how much you set back though. Build limits are there for a reason.
Dude get the place everywhere mod.
@@greenrabbit860 miss any mods 😩 been playing survival no mods...... it's a dusey 😢
@user-gu5xu5yf1u oh dude there's a guy who made a role back mod. I haven't personally grabbed it as I'm on a fallout 4 VR kick but it can bring your game back to pre update.
Diamond city security actually canonically used the 2nd tip.
You don't have to scrap the weapons, you can store them in the workbench and retrieve rhem there and do it again with the same weapon.
Unless you need the steel. Agreed.
Great , now for the important stuff, there's a settlement that needs our help, I'll mark it on your map.
Hitting the VATS key on Preston be like....
🤣
“Just build vertically” 😄
Fallout 4’s bot pathing: *NO*
You have to play with the different stair cases. I've found the most reliable to be the concrete and the warehouse/barn for NPC pathing. At least on PS4.
Sanctuary, don't even need a ladder or anything raised and you'll see 16 people on roofs 😅
@@-DEATHSTROKE I've just built stairs for each one. Annoying but solved.
So the way the game's pathing works is basically a big net over the ground called a navmesh and the AI walks along it. If you don't place your stairs correctly then the navmesh won't automatically connect to itself and the AI can't read it as a viable way to go.
So make sure you always use snapping features and make sure your steps actually hit the ground or another floor otherwise this is a common problem.
Crossplay and online would be insane 🤷♂️
Just build vertically! -comes back to Sanctuary and all settlers are standing on the roofs of the 3-4 story wood shanties
Et les vaches a 2 têtes lol
Wish I could ask how they got up there
this is facts
This happens even on 1 story buildings too though. The number of times there's a person or Brahmin (especially Carla's) on top of the central house in Sanctuary is in the triple digits now. 😂
@@Akurokumait just works
So crazy 9 year old game coming back , so happy this game is getting the recognition it deserves
Don't know why it needed a TV adaptation in order to get people playing again. When it came out all the people were complaining but now they're praising it to the stars.
@misanthrope5063 a lot of people echo chamber others instead of freely thinking for themselves. They also expect too much at first and since it's been nearly a decade they think, "eh it's old but it's fun"
But that show definitely sparked some needed nostalgia in me. Seeing the final ep overlook [SPOILER ALERT]
Vegas man, that was awesome
@@ZNX05yea sadly they don't. I just appreciated it for what it was even though it had a few flaws.
@@misanthrope5063Are you old enough to have played 3 and NV?? Because people were bitching and complaining about those games too. Gamers cry about everything.
@@stpbasss3773 please find one piece of art that everybody agrees on and then get back to me
Concrete is awesome, it does not look like arse, the surfaces are mostly enclosed so enemies cannot shoot you through it and it blocks most explosion damage, nice snap points.
When you do not have room for crops on the ground, make a growing plot, fill it full of the food you want to grow and move the growing plot anywhere, even the roofs of buildings or inside
When you know a settlement will have issues and problems..
The ones I know are Jamaica Plains, Hangman Alley, Homeplate, Boston Airport, and Outpost Zomanji. Add Oberland Outpost, ill see if I can make use of it eventuallly
Use them as staging grounds, no stalls, no caravans light on the guns, enough crops for 7 or 8 people to manage, enough gun turrets to kill anything.... that is my Recruitement Staging set up, from there I get enough food and water to continue making adhesive, feed the settlers, and if the location is right.... sweep the settlers for synths,
Gunners are a favorite target of mine, The Combat Helmet drop is rare, and can only be found in three locations to my knowledge, one is on the highway near Coastal Cottage, one is on a shelf in Hubcity Auto works, near Lynn Woods Parking Garage and Finch Farm, the last spot is at a parking garage death trap, near the exit of Vault 88, city side, there are supermutants, usually I have three Nuke Bombers running you down. Anyway, making a poor settlement into a cage filled hunting ground is not a bad idea...
In Far Harbor, it's quite fun having your own Captured, Wolf 🐺 Death Pack, where sometimes you can find dogs, ghoulllias, Brahman.... some you can send to other settlements....
A favorite is always Deathclaws, Yao Guai, and Radstags
@@matthewcopley7679 There’s a legendary combat helmet for sale in Covenant. It gives +1 charisma and +1 intelligence.
I concrete everything!! All my settlements are just concrete and turrets.
@@dmoon3380
There is no kill like Overkill.....
For uneven building places, the game has built in blocks for this. All the ones that use cement can be sunk into the floor. There is also a wood only option as well. Also, all stairs will sink into the ground when snapped onto a floor when applicable.
I use them for walls, which looks great for fortress builds
it just works!
Makes sense as a concrete foundation. But when I tried making stairs they wouldn’t link right and were over the floor so that the stairs foundation was on the ground
That last one also works with dropping and srapping junk items, had a near infinite build limit in Sanctuary Hills.
tisk tisk tisk scrapping Johnny's guns
my thought exactly
For real lol
How dare he!
You don't have to scrap the weapons actually, still works just storing them from build mode
Something that works a lot better than storing the weapon or even scrapping it is to find an object with the most detail and storing it. Because the game takes the polygons into consideration circuit board modules are the best for this because you only need a few to lower it by a lot
do circuit boards lower it more then gamma guns?
Didn’t know this one
THATS how it determines settlement budgets?!
@@ImperatorClass yes
@@Liffium I don't know the specifics but I do know that people also use gamma guns for that same reason
Awesome thanks, the floor mat one is really useful
You can do it with the sinkable posts as well
It doesn't always work
Mostly does though. I think with the mat and the posts, there's been only a few items I can't relocate
@@timmanning5206 I can't get shops to clip to save my life. And there are some good spots where clipping shops would look SO good, like Starlight Drive-in. 😢
Starlight was a massive market for me,it's where all my main traders were. I don't remember having issues there
When expanding or cheesing the build limit, keep the triangles of death in mind. Unfortunately it's not just Sanctuary + Red Rocket + Abernathy that overlap. Another notable one is the Castle + Spectacle Island (+ a third which I forgot).
There's a map of all settlement overlaps.
P.S: Starlight Drive-in doesn't overlap with any other settlement, so it's perfect for extensive builds 😊
When you say overlap do you mean they all share the same build limit so adding to one adds to the others? Or am I misunderstanding this comment?
@@rakoonshampoo2608random guess but it might be that each area stays loaded in since they’re close enough to each other, the more you abuse the build limit exploit by adding more and more, the harder it’ll be for the game to run leading to slowdown and crashes.
@@DMAN99 Yeah that’s probably it.
@rakoonshampoo2608 Yeah, it's like DMAN wrote. The settlement areas are so close together sometimes that the engine loads the next settlement(s) already as well. Now, if you used mods to disable the build limit or cheesed it with the trick in this video and have 2 or 3 enormous settlements in that area, the engine can't handle it. No matter how good your hardware is, this will most likely lead to lags and crashes because it's an engine problem.
Doesn't mean you shouldn't use this trick, of course. But just be aware of the triangles of death and only choose one settlement for big builds in that area.
Also, I looked it up. It's Castle + Spectacle Island + Warwick Homestead. That's the second triangle. However, almost all settlements overlap with at least one other.
The third part of the Castle and Spectacle Island, is the back half of Spectacle Island. The game sometimes sees it as part of Spectacle, and others times as not existing at all.
It just works!
"Shack foundation" is what you're supposed to use when building on uneven surfaces
any foundation will do, but yes.
Vertical building is really underrated.
especially during invasions. lead people up, scrap the stairs
only if you can get npcs to use the stairs.
I thought I was trippin when I saw Johnny’s Gun from Cyberpunk
I got confused when i saw ciri beating people bare handed
Also the cyberpunk enemy alert sound at the start of the video had me tripping
Are you trying to make me install the game and play agaaaain?!!!!! haha
I did not know the floor mat one. Thanks for the tip.
Did y'all's know if you hold click it'll drag the entire structure and everything connected to it? Also put farms on roofs it looks really nice
I always hated building because of some of the things you mentioned...
Yeah tbh I wish they spent more time working on other aspects of the game and not base building. It feels so unnecessary and tacked on
The gun scrapping glitch is really helpful but be careful over building as frames can drop like crazy if you start building your own diamond city at sanctuary
You can go pretty big. I had an apartment building and a 60 gunner arena with gunner cages.
Even if you are done building, drop enough guns to get the meter out of the yellow range. I swear this glitch doesn't just let you get around the build limit, it ADDS to the resources available. Maybe I'm nuts, but it really seems to reduce lag.
@@boyce5994 It depends on the settlement. Sanctuary Hills, Starlight Drive in and Sunshine Tidings, sure, go for it. Hangmans Alley, Taffington or Greentop Nursery... not so much.
Using shack foundation flooring as walls is the best tip I ever found! Concrete walls is the best looking and durable
How do you rotate a floor vertically to use it as a wall?
I just like building donut shops in my settlements with the Slocum Joes CC.
I like to think it’s a nice treat for my settlers to end their day with a smoke, a donut, and a coffee
Slocum's Joe never changes ...
Am I trippin or was that Ciri in the beginning
It was
Probably some crossover episode 😂
I was wondering that too
She been running through time again
Ciri throwing hands
Yes a two story wood structure the size of a scrapped house in Santuary will allow plenty of bed space, like dormitories.
That last tip is gonna make me even more addicted to building 😂😂😂
Water is money. As much water production as possible at every settlement is a must. Every two in-game days you get a bunch of water in the workshop inventory, and water trades as easily as caps to any merchant. 8 settlements connected via trade routes us enough for about 800 water every two days.
In vanilla FO4 back in like 2018 I had probably around 20 different settlements built into straight up cities. All the shops, all the crops, crafting benches. They weren’t totally fenced off, I tried to make them seem natural and not redundant and it made the game feel sooo alive….
I built up so much in my settlements so much that it would crash my game and I couldn’t do anything anymore. I got the next gen console and now I can just walk around, but if I try to edit it crashes still. Such a shame 😭 lvl 89 on survival.
Currently focusing on building a sweet settlement in starlight drive-in, my size is getting close to max, I’m officially cheesing hardcore! Thank you!
In that settlement, you can go hard on the build limit. Not sure why, but you can.
If only I had known these tips 9 years ago. Thank you so much, especially with the floor mat one
The solution to uneven ground is an unlockable option where you can make your own foundation.
My favorite thing to do is start a run and go to Vault 88 for free materials early. Scrapping everything in the main room can give you like over 2000 steel or something like that and a ton of gears, screws, circuitry, and copper to set you for life.
Most settlements have a maximum height, usually about 3 levels and pathing won't allow settlers to go higher. Other suggestion, use mods. And remember, settlement population caps. Once you are at the pop cap, there's a higher probability of the game crashing when you try to fast travel to that settlement.
Dawg I downloaded so many mods to fix the issues that your tips fix, holy cow thanks for that!
Good settlement tips: Download mods
fr, i don't get how triple A devs can never create a good building system
can you scrap the floor mat once the item's been placed?
The gun mod is so fun to use, the weapon animations are amazing.
You can also just store the weapons if you don't want to destroy them
So thats what Piper was talking about with the bookshelf in Diamond City
The more complex the weapon you're scraping is, the more your build settlement meter goes down. So you'll want energy weapons, things with a lot of parts
I've just realised why these are getting recommended to me. Fallout show, new people who never played the series, most start with F4. Mixed feelings about this.
Dude that settlement build limit, like others have been saying, that’s some insane fucking cheese right there. Never heard of anyone doing that before. The rug tip is also pretty damn nuts.
Goodbye mods that are probably the reason my game is breaking in some settlements!
when do you tell us how to make daddy love me.
Father loves you if you do the institutes bidding, but his 'love' isn't really worth it .
Didn't know about the weapon scrapping. Thank you!
you just gave me PTSD with that sound effect at the beginning..
My youngest wanted to play and that brought me back. I’ve never built before. My biggest issue is my indecisiveness of my buildings.
The carpet one is super useful, I’d be trying to move an object around for like 10 minutes lol
Damn, the floor mat is the one that i looking for my settlement, thanks buddy
Getting things past clipping issues can be done with an ashtray stand out of the misc. Decorations category. Drop one next to the item you have trouble placing (away from where you need it). Hold select the ashtray and it will pick up the item with it. Your trigger buttons will rotate both around the center of the ashtray, which has a small profile and can help place the item right up to or through most walls or items.
If you do the same process with a concrete post, you can sink the items into the ground.
I have a few more working ones for you.
__________________________
1. Pillar glitch
Easy one to start off. If you have dlcs, you can find them in the barn tab and warehouse tab. If you don't have them, the wooden stairs will work.
Place the pillar next to the object or carpet with object and select all to sink objects into the ground or raise up inside the ground or make them float. You can also use paintings on premade in-game walls and place them anywhere with the pillar. You can also do this on water purifiers and bring them on dirt or on top of structures. Crops can also be moved, but it will be glitchy with the gane still having the crop location where it originally was, while the 3d model is elsewhere.
2. The carpet glitch expanded
You can use other items that don't have autosnap features in this. Such as tables and storage boxes.
If you have a shelf that looks rather empty, you can snap onto it containers like the toolbox or footlocker, for example. Place the item you want to snap onto a carpet or two. Use the pillar to bring it above the desired height and then scap or store the one to snap it on that self.
3. Wire glitch
If you want to run a wire through a wall or underground, you simply need an electricity connector such as a power conduit or a generator. Look at a wire till it turns to the color as if you'd select it and move the cursor right above a connection point. While the wire is highlighted, press the wire command, and you'll hear the noise. Then bring it to whatever thing you want to connect. If you want to go underground, just connector wires on the ground really far away, and the wires will practically disappear.
Make sure you delete any beds that are there when you take over. Then build the amount of beds you will need for your citizens.
"Are you trying to build a settlement in fallout 4"
Me: *chuckles in wasteland roamer* that's funny
1.If you have a wire connected to something if you look at the contact point and make it highlight the wire, and hit attach, it will give you an invisible wire that allows you to connect from too far or through walls. The wire will show once connected though.
2. If you hold the build button while placing it allows you to move it freely anywhere on the screen even if the distance is 20 steps away allowing you to change the distance.
3. Click in the left stick to change what axis things rotate in, you have three, x, y, and rotate
4. Supply lines make settlement building a lot better with more supplies and it can make or break their happiness if not done correctly.
Just started playing fallout 4 recently after completing 3, the build limit tip is SO DAMN USEFUL TO ME, also what do I do when I for example want to move something or place or but the collision for that item is way too big or in the wrong space? For instance. I want to place a generator but I can't, because the game thinks that I'm trying to place it inside a heavy machine gun turret, which in reality is all the way across the settlement or far away?
If youre on console be careful scrapping weapons or items to lower your build limit. Can really mess up your frame rate. Spent 8hrs building the castle and scrapping weapons to keep adding then ultimately had to tear most of it down.
Never had that issue. What console?
@@adamstilwell4209 never had that problem either I just downloaded build anywhere and no limit mods among many others, but I have seen some settlements on PC so insane the frame rate doesn’t even work just crashes the game.
casually drops 5 manalorian arms...
The last tip is new to me. Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve always struggled with build limit
Seeing him scrap the Malorian 3516 hurts my soul
Agreed, my favorite gun in 2 games :)
On uneven ground, I select floor foundations in either concert or wood. Ten times out of ten, that’ll even out the placement of any buildings I construct.
Ik this is 6 days old but i fuckin love you bro, you just showed someone whoes been playing the game for almost a decade something really helpful 😂
You don't have to scrap items to lower the limit, you can just store the items if you don't want to lose them.
I stored tons of items every few days when I built my massive factory that could build anything I wanted and automatically sorted and stored every resource for later use, even made a (boring) video of it, which is still up.
This factory is what got me hooked on Factorio.
Build apartments next to eachother in a way that also makes them function as a wall around the settlement
The rug glitch reminds me so much of a game called Wizards101 that I played as a child. You could use carpets to move housing items out of bounds or use them to build impossible structures in that game.
pillar glitch to combine buildings, campfire glitch to place deep down inside buildings that you created.
there is a orange item which look like an metal antorch which you find a lot in boston airport, it can br used to place some builds really close to structures.
another stuff would be use pillar glitch to place rugs over tables or shelves to place your items to decorate without fear about items falling through by load cell of the map.
You can scrap and store items at the same time to duplicate raw materials or place down a furnishing without spending materials and actually getting some back.
This leads to unlimited junk and caps exploits.
If you have the DLC with the concrete structures, you can use a cement column like the rug glitch, but to lower objects into the ground. You just put the column right next to the object you want to sink into the ground, hold down the activate button until they're both highlighted, and then you can move down.
Also, if one type of flooring won't snap where you want it, just try other types, keep rotating it, etc. Sometimes some will work when others won't.
Very solid short hope you do well😊
The build limits tips is really helpful. I give up on most of the settlement because of build limits. Especially building your own vault. Once I'm done with that dlc, I'm not going back there.
Only one i didnt know was the floormat trick to effectively disable collisions. Thats a really neat trick.
"Are you trying to build a settlement in fallout 4?" After my first playthrough, no😂
I still have a ton of guns back in the armory of the Minutemen HQ. Such as various legendary sniper rifles and shotguns, tons of laser and institute pistols and rifles, a few fatmans, missile launchers, and mini guns… You get the point.
Bro the floor mate idea is gonna save me a lot of stress 😂😂
So much useful info in a short video, this is like the opposite of what RUclips is in the best way!
When scrapping weapons: those that have more mods or high-tech components yield more on the settlement size limit. I collect as many Institute pistols and rifles as possible and scrap them 20-30 at a time. If you run into a carrying capacity limit, you can always turn on god mode (tgm in the console).
The build limit tip was the greatest tip I learned back then. Allowed me to do so much with my camps. Fallout 76 has cool items to build in your camp but it's hard to go crazy with details when your limited to such a size and capacity. I tried building the largest camp I could and it lacks in detail cuz of the build limit. So the only choice is to build a small camp but with all the detail you want, it's a hard thing to balance in 76.
That floor mat trick was gold when I only had it on PS4 at launch.
Yeah, you can put lightbulbs directly on the cables.
Thanks, that gun scrap tip is gold
cyberpunk combat noise at the beginning had me thinking I'm in the wrong place 😂
>Cyberpunk Sound
>Siri
>Fallout 4 HUD
Dreams do come true 😊
Concrete walls are great for.filling gaps. Also you can put a wall around a settlement with various heights and then put ceilings on them for walk around guard post.
That floor mat trick is awesome
It’s a life saver
@@TK_Trickster yeah I so wish I found your video days ago when I started my playthrough
I don't know if it's because I'm playing on PS4 or that my game is modded, but I can rarely get the rug trick to work. 🤦🏽♀️
Heh i recall the gun scrapping thing.
I was the first to discover it within 1 day of the game being released.
Uploaded a settlement build video with with the gun scrapping thing.
The build limit cheesing is a revelation to me! Thanks 🎉🎉🎉
The rug would have saved my ass forever ago. The gun stuff was a need to know
One of my favorite things to do is build a floating structure around the big tree in Sanctuary. The item collision trick only works sometimes for me, personally.
try using the metal poles from the workshop dlc. i find it works better
Thx a bunch. Did not know about any of this. It really helps since I'm doing a vanilla survival run rn. Looking forward to trying these tricks out.
Best trick IMO everyone should know: On PC you can also easily use the console to negate collision on static settlement objects as well that cannot be selected or scrapped in the workbench. Open console and type "tcl" to enter no-clip mode, then select object, type "disable" then "enable". When the object reappears after reenabling, it will have no collision, allowing you to seamlessly blend placed objects with static parts of the settlement. Also, any objects placed while in no-clip mode will have no collision. Exit no-clip mode to reenable normal collision on all objects. Using just this trick I have made some truly professional-level settlements that almost appear to be a part of the vanilla game they blend so well!
I like using concrete foundations with the barn floors and walls to build vertically and outward once it's a story or two up. I'll have to try the scrapping trick, I didn't know about that one!
You could also drop the weapons and store them in your workshop pick ‘em and drop them everytime.
You don't need to scrap the weapons, you can just store them when in build mode. This allows you to repeat the step multiple times without having to look for more weapons.
The problem with removing settlement limit is that your save will eventually become unstable
As long as you don’t do it to Abernathy, Red Rocket, and Sanctuary simultaneously, you should be fine
OMG THE LAST ONE WAS SO USEFUL
Oh my god that 1st trick ! I've done thousands of hours gameplay, 20 + extsensive playthroughs I've built mega city's and never knew you could do that oh im so excited to to try this out thankyou for that!!
One thing I would say is to download the no build limit mod and if your build is in sanctuary get the clean sanctuary mod too. Then head to the perimeters and delete all the trees and everything possible inside the settlement before building because if you go too far over the build limit it will cause bugs, crashes, longer loading times and framerate issues.
Diamond City watched your video and blocked a hole in their wall with a single bookshelf. Well done.
