Don't do the bookshelf technique to hide a hole or piper will write a article about you
As she should!
Piper is love boi❤
Is that bad thing?
@@BraylonRamsey it is if you're the mayor
@@rainbowcanoe17 you can't even be a mayor unless you are on pc and fallout 4 on pc is boring imo.
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.
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.
“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 🤷♂️
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.
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
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....
🤣
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
tisk tisk tisk scrapping Johnny's guns
my thought exactly
For real lol
How dare he!
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
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
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
You don't have to scrap the weapons actually, still works just storing them from build mode
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.....
Another cool thing is the garden plot trick also works for powered water pumps. I'm not sure about the hand pumps, I've never tried it with them
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
It just works!
That last one also works with dropping and srapping junk items, had a near infinite build limit in Sanctuary Hills.
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
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
"Shack foundation" is what you're supposed to use when building on uneven surfaces
any foundation will do, but yes.
can you scrap the floor mat once the item's been placed?
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.
Vertical building is really underrated.
especially during invasions. lead people up, scrap the stairs
only if you can get npcs to use the stairs.
Good settlement tips: Download mods
fr, i don't get how triple A devs can never create a good building system
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 .
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.
Yeah, you can put lightbulbs directly on the cables.
The scrap glitch for settlement sizing is also a double-edge. Do it too many times and that settlement’s area zone will start to become laggy.
If only I had known these tips 9 years ago. Thank you so much, especially with the floor mat one
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 ...
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.
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?
That last tip is gonna make me even more addicted to building 😂😂😂
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
"Are you trying to build a settlement in fallout 4"
Me: *chuckles in wasteland roamer* that's funny
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.
Dawg I downloaded so many mods to fix the issues that your tips fix, holy cow thanks for that!
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?
@@SylasG you just build them horizontally and they are 3 dimensional and wide so you just keep linking them in a perimeter horizontally. If you want the walls taller just use a cement pillar and attach it to a block of cement cube. Then click and hold the pillar so it grabs the cube and raise it above the first row. Then keep linking more horizontally but on the second level (vertical) and you have a 2 block high wall, 1 block deep and all around your perimeter
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.
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.
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.
My youngest wanted to play and that brought me back. I’ve never built before. My biggest issue is my indecisiveness of my buildings.
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.
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!
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.
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.
The last tip is new to me. Thanks for pointing that out. I’ve always struggled with build limit
This video is amazing and very helpful. Especially the first one since I play on pc and there i can’t understand how to install mods for that.
Just install the mod/s that remove building limits. Why would you play unmodded Fallout 4?
Bruh was that the alert sound from cyberpunk 2077 in the beginning
"Are you trying to build a settlement in fallout 4?" After my first playthrough, no😂
you just gave me PTSD with that sound effect at the beginning..
Building on fallout 4 ps5 version game crashed twice
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.
The gun mod is so fun to use, the weapon animations are amazing.
Build apartments next to eachother in a way that also makes them function as a wall around the settlement
I have about 500 hours in Fallout.....
TYL
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.
You can also just store the weapons if you don't want to destroy them
The pillar glitch also helps put stuff in random places.
Damn, the floor mat is the one that i looking for my settlement, thanks buddy
Yes a two story wood structure the size of a scrapped house in Santuary will allow plenty of bed space, like dormitories.
Didn't know about the weapon scrapping. Thank you!
Imagine not using concrete foundations smh my head
The carpet one is super useful, I’d be trying to move an object around for like 10 minutes lol
Bro the floor mate idea is gonna save me a lot of stress 😂😂
So thats what Piper was talking about with the bookshelf in Diamond City
Or just use the place anywhere mod
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
Fallout 4 settlement building is so bad
casually drops 5 manalorian arms...
I didn't know about that first one
Seeing him scrap the Malorian 3516 hurts my soul
Agreed, my favorite gun in 2 games :)
Or build the floor with the concrete foundation to 🤯 create level ground
Exactly 💯
The rug would have saved my ass forever ago. The gun stuff was a need to know
Scaffolding has lots of stairs to choose from.
The floor pieces can be removed after attaching the stairs, and replaced with standard wood flooring, which will fill in the tiny gaps left by the scaffolding
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.
DO NOT SCRAP the weopons. just store them in Buidl Menu - so you can do it over an over. This is important because big weopons exceed the build limit much more, and you wont find hundreds of flamethwowers
place everywhere mod:
whattttttttt!!! im going to try these right now lol
That's great, General, I'm glad you found a video to help build settlements, but do you know what REALLY needs helping? A settlement, here I'll mark it on your map.
Last tip I will use.
Settlement mods for xbox: Cvc Dead Wasteland: It gives you EVERYTHING you'd want to build as a wastelander, From gravecrosses To custom beds, From big boulders, To wall decals
Ocdecorator ALL versions:They add static items so you don't have to use the janky telekinesis mechanic to spiff up your settlements with items you find all across the commonwealth
Place Anywhere: Pretty self explanatory, Make sure to search (Place in redzones) It'll explain in the desc
And finally
Scrap that settlement: A scrap mod mod that lets you scrap more specific items, without getting in your way, It let's you get rid rid of those nasty decals you can find in almost every settlement
Bonus:Conquest
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).
I don't know what to say about the railroad. Some of them do not care about the synths. They just want to mess with the Institute.
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.
I"VE PLAYED THIS GAME FOR SO MANY YEARS!!! I THOUGHT I WAS GOD WHEN I LEARNED THE INFINITE CARRY GLITCH WITH FOLLOWERS! But now my brothers and sisters of atom, I have found a new glow. This man has become my god, and fallout, my bible. I shall now go pray.
If you dont want to do the gun scrapping method, theres probably a mod that gives you infinite build limit! I have it on Playstation, but its most likely available on pc and xbox too!
It's like a more detailed Minecraft, if you're having trouble with uneven flooring, stop putting down basic floors and learn what foundations are purposed for. You can elevate them high or low to basically have even ground even on uneven terrain.
Don’t scrap just store to your settlement and repeat without losing your weapons
Don’t waste your time storing a bunch of different guns .. just *GAMMA GUNS* .. they work like x5 better
*What I find funny whenever someone mentions the Settlement Build Size Limit there is always a few comments saying “the build limit is there for a reason”… 😂*
*Yes, it is there for a reason… But as someone who has played this for like 200+ hours on his Xbox One back when this was first released, as well as 500+ hours on his PS4, I can confirm there isn’t stress needed… I used this glitch all the time on multiple Playthroughss, and not once did my game go away… OCCASIONALLY my game would crash, but my save would still be there, and it only crashed at a few places like Sanctuary or The Castle where I have built an entire country essentially. 😂*
*If you see them comments, don’t stress about your save file… Simple solution is have your Auto Save for Pip-Boy on 15 minutes, get used to making Quick Saves every time you’ve done something important or at spots you would like a checkpoint at, and also make sure to make a Full Save every time you are about to build, have just finished building, or have built quite a bit and you want to make sure it stays at that point at least… You can also have Auto Save on for when you Rest, Wait or Travel which can be helpful depending on how you play the game and if you want even more saves. Overall I always had a save that was at most like 10-15 minutes prior to when it crashed, and each time I made it past that point I’d just make a few saves so I was fine from there. Rarely your Save Files will get corrupted, but it DOES happen. So just make sure you add Save Files fairly regularly, if you’re gonna focus on building over the settlement size limits at least, and you’ll be perfectly fine. Despite some people acting like you’ll lose everything you’ve worked for, which you can if you can’t keep a solid few save files… 😂*
First off good use for mods workshop cyberpunk alert, sound and Johnny Silver pistol
Is that a mod that replaces the 10mm pistol with JOHNNY SIVERHANDS GUN?!
HOLD DOWN THE BUILD BUTTON, now you are group selecting. Now put a pole in the ground near something, and do it again. Now, PLAY!
