I have tried many, many times to do something with the front side of the screen but was never able to do anything with it. The backside worked because it is fairly flat and doesn't cause collision issues. The existing structure below the apartments could be used for additional living space too. Thank you - glad you like it!
@@cryingcube2 I wanted a guard house there, with guards on top, and bunks in the room, but the guards all stand on the restrooms on the front of the pavement. I have a stupid set of npcs.
The NPCs are known to have pathing issues in this game and they might not be able to walk in the storage room by the street? However, I like your design idea for that area!
@@cryingcube2 Thank you. Yep, the apartments were next to the drivein, and faced the screen where I shot off fireworks.ha Pathing is an issue for sure.
I've been with this game since day one. Ive got thousands of hours in; and never really tooled around with the scaffolding. Thought i was finally done with this game and now i gotta boot it back up. I blame you. Great job.
I reeeeeally like these! They’re very cute looking but also have that scrappy feel to them which I love when building in FO4! Happy to have found this channel 😁
I certainly will be! Think I’ll pop them on t’other side of the drive in screen, and have the bottom floor open as a bit of a patio/food court area, but I LOVE the inspiration this is giving me! 🤩
Awesome! Love the concept! Glad this is helpful! Careful with the other side of the screen - it is curved and has lots of collision points with the bent metal. Be sure to start out far enough to avoid problems as you build up.
Thanks so much for this super helpful guide, I used your format to build my own 3 storey apartment building at Starlight today (mine’s just not connected to the movie screen structure). I’ve spent years playing this game and I’ve never used scaffolding before, mind blown!! 🎉🎉🎉
Awesome! Glad that you were able to use this idea to create your own build! Hope you enjoy using the scaffolding. I've found that they give a little more flexibility with building.
Wow. What a wonderful idea to build on the backside. I never thought of it. Congrats. I was able to replicate your method to the letter, except for a few aesthetic changes to customize my new apartments. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thank you! It took me countless failures trying to do something similar on the other side before I got the idea to build on the back side. I'm glad that you gave it a try and happy that you customized it to your liking. One tip that I discovered after I built this - if you used the scaffolding stairs and your settlers won't use them - swap them out for the long shack stairs (the one without the platform attached). They should use those stairs.
Again. Well done and inspiring. I feel bad for copying your design but it looks so cool. I’ve been playing for years and nice to see newer stuff, thanks.
Thank you! Please - copy anything that you want. As you experiment with it in your settlement, you can put your own touches on it, change it to meet your needs, or use similar design concepts in other settlements. I think it is fun to change things up and see how a settlement can evolve over time.
o m g! 😱😵💫 that is awesome! i think thats my next project! 😂 ive always wondered how to do that and tbh never tried as i thought it wouldnt work... im glad you proved me wrong! you could have added a floor above the roof and all round for security (although that would ruin the feel i think!) either way, excellent! 😁 also im now a fan of scaffolding as i rarely ever use it!
Thank you! I hope that you will give it a try! I really like your idea of adding another floor - not sure if there is a way to line it up with the balcony on top but that would make an excellent security post! Glad that the video has inspired you for your Starlight build ☺️
Nice build idea. Well done. I've built on the front of the screen on the past, never thought to build apartments on the back side. On the front, in a recent playthrough, I used scaffolding but instead of building up I used rows of train car pieces to make the apartments, all with those train car sliding doors, and walkways in between. Ended up looking like a cool junky "city" of multi-leveled train cars. Hard to build up on that side because of the curve and the wrecked bits sticking out. In another playthrough from years back I actually built myself a player mansion right on top of the screen. Fun build, but in the end it would have probably gotten blown off in a high wind. lol For the existing rooms on the back side I've often just stuck the generator into the long storage room. Now I think it would serve nicely to power the apartments as well.
Thank you and thanks for sharing your ideas - I love your ideas for the screen side! The train car idea is particularly relevant to Starlight because of the rail tracks that run nearby. I never thought about a player home on the top of the screen but that is a good idea - I don't know if the NPCs can path to the top of the screen so you would have the place all to yourself. I got frustrated with the screen side because of the curve and all of the bent metal that caused collision issues so that is why I tried the other side. With this character, I made the existing center room into a manager office/apartment and the side room into a bathroom, but I like the idea of using it for a mechanical room too.
You've peaked my interest. Subbed. Id really like a few fully finished and decorated tours. Never built on the back. Didn't think there was enough room. Id be interested in your full use of the settlement. And commentary behind your reasoning. Keep it up.
Thank you and welcome! I've had a few requests for decorated tours of Starlight. I'm currently finishing it with my no mods character and plan to do a decorated tour soon. Thanks for the suggestions on the tour too - it is helpful to gauge what viewers want to see.
Well thought out and explained. Excellent use of the supplied parts and no mods or glitches. It has been years since I have played unmodded and though I am not sorry to have switched to mods I am nostalgic for building with just the basics. Great job. I look forward to watching more of your videos :)
Thank you! Until very recently, I only played the game modded. Over the years, I've been amazed at some of the settlements that I've seen that have been done without mods. So - I thought I'd give it a try. It's definitely challenging but I'm really enjoying it!
Thanks! The tips on getting the stairs/rails etc. to snap in are gold. I might to this, but using Warehouse instead of Barn because I like all the window options. Great work!
Thank you! The build order to get everything to snap together is frustrating in this game - glad that tip helped. I agree with you on the window options with the warehouse set - as an alternative you could also use the 1/2 barn or warehouse wall on the bottom with the 1/2 greenhouse glass wall on the top.
Have just build a giant glass mega-structure on the other-side but was forced to build a wee alley way against the front. Was worried building so close to boundary but looks fantastic and has definitely inspired me to use more barn tiles in my builds.
Oh wow! Thank you, glad this worked for your settlement. To be honest, I don't like the red color of the barn tiles (a more neutral brown color would work better IMO) but they work well for some builds. This whole structure could be built with the warehouse instead of the barn tiles but it looks better with the barn tiles.
Thank you! I also appreciate your feedback on the music - although the You Tube audio library has a lot of choices - it's difficult to find something for this type of video.
Sorry to hear that! Over the past few weeks, I've spent a fair amount of time in Starlight Drive-in and made a few observations that might help. After building, make sure that you fast travel or travel a very far distance from Starlight a few times to allow the cell to reset. This can sometimes help settlers find their beds. I have noticed that it takes most of my settlers until around 4 am to finally walk to the apartments (although a few make it much earlier). The can path to the back of the screen but it seems to take a long time for them to get there. If you find that the settlers are all gathered at the bottom to the steps on the front (right side facing the apartments), replace the scaffolding stairs with the wide wood shack stairs from the vanilla shack building tiles. I found that the settlers will easily use the shack stairs but seem to get stuck on the scaffolding stairs. I don't know why - I generally find that settlers like the scaffolding stairs and that is why I like to use them. Sorry for the frustration - hope one of these ideas help!
An original use of an area that is awesome often overlooked, a building style that seems to mostly fit in with the setting... Very well done. The only suggestion that I would make, in order to better blend in with the Commonwealth, would be to try alternating different walls & fences
Thank you! Great suggestion too - it would be easy enough to swap out some of the solid barn walls with wall with holes or even add some warehouse walls. There is a variety of railings that could be used instead using the same railing. That would give it a scrappier Commonwealth look.
@CryingCube well, You just gained another Sub! Since I watched your Taffington Boat House Guide... Come to adore your videos... :) I had not watched this one sadly and I have just finished Building at Starlight Drive-in... I had not touched the back of the Movie screen though - Real shame as your build looks SO DAMN GOOD! None the less... You have gave me inspiration again, Right now I have some "Apartments" built in the main area... They are DELIBERATLY Junky Shacks covering three levels... And on my current playthrough, Thats how they stay for now... Then later, I am mid game now so NOT destroyed a Faction yet... (I know I will turn on the Institute! I always do!)... Once I have committed to a side though, Each Settlement gets "Upgraded" a bit... So may take some hints from here to neaten up "Starlight Estates"
Awesome! Thanks for the sub! Thanks too for the feedback on the apartments! I like your approach to slowly upgrading as time passes in game - that is more realistic than building it up all at once. Glad you are liking the videos - hope you get an idea or two for your Starlight Estates!
@@cryingcube2 LOL! Yeah, I already have... And your Coastal Cottage build was a god send... I did a short video tour of Starlight as it is right now for a mate last night... Not used to making stuff like that so its very amateur!! And will make some better clips up as I get more done...
Good to hear the Coastal Cottage video was helpful too! I hear what you are saying about making videos - it isn't easy to do but it does get easier with time. But it is nice to document your progress and see how your settlements change over time.
@@cryingcube2 Yeah, a bit harder for me as I Play on console... Thankfully there is screen recording... The its just getting confidence to add audio... :) Start small I think and then maybe I will have enough confidence to do my "The Thing" Video... LOL! I have a Theory, A FILM THEORY... Ahem... and think I can prove why the 2011 Prequel is actually kind of good!
I completely understand getting confidence to add audio - it takes a while to get used to hearing yourself talk. It took me a long time to have the courage to add audio to my videos but it does get easier. So you are right - start small and you will gain confidence. (BTW - interesting topic - I think I saw the original movie but haven't seen the 2011 prequel).
lol! I know what you mean - I can’t tell you how many failed attempts I had trying to do something with the front side of the screen - it was years before I thought of using the other side!
Thank you and thanks for your suggestion. I've thought about a decorating tutorial but wasn't sure if that would interest anyone. I will add it to my list!
Thanks! It was only out of frustration from not being able to build anything that I liked on the other side that made me look at the back. I also like that the street is along this side - it kinda makes it look like settlers might have actually used this as a stable structure to build against.
i added a comment to your first vid on how to get the first floor placed, MINE would not place at all, I realized that I had a mod installed called S.C.A.P and I think it was causing the issue, SO , I needed up having to work with a few glitches for that first floor but finally got it, on a side note, if you place the scafolding first then work your way up to that first square scaffold floor, you can build off that piece and not have the same issues I was faced with.
Thanks for your comment - I'm glad that you figured out the issue with the placement. I LOVE your idea about placing the scaffolding first - it might have been easier that way since there were a few viewers that had trouble placing the first floor piece. Thanks for the suggestion!
This is an excellent build. I tried to build apartments using both wood pieces on one set, and railway cars for another. In sanctuary, the npcs walk in the apts no problem. In Starlight, for some odd reason, the npcs refuse to walk through doors to get to their assigned beds/rooms. They get stuck on the side of the door or stand in the rain like drenched monkeys. I've had to remove walls for them to go inside, then put them back with the door. Odd. I made walking roofs so they can climb up and see fireworks. instead, they sit by the drive in.
Thank you! The use of railway cars is very interesting for an apartment build. Pathing has always been a problem in this game. I was really hoping that the next gen update would fix some of the pathing issues so that the settlers' movements would be more realistic.
@@cryingcube2 You're welcome. Thank you for the reply! I really enjoyed this vid. Yes the pathing is wonky. ha sometimes it works, sometimes not. I figured since the cars were there, to remove the cars and use railboxes. It worked when it worked After I removed a wall. ha
You're welcome! The railcars are definitely a great idea because the train tracks run right next to that settlement - so they make a lot of sense to use there.
Thank you! I've tried numerous times to build something similar to what I built on the back, but the front side of the screen is curved and uneven which causes collision issues in a vanilla build. However - I have been studying the front side to see if there is something else that I can do with it. Not sure at this point what to do - but I would like to do something with that huge eyesore.
Sure - I did a full tour of the Starlight Drive-in. The decorated tour of inside of the apartments can be found starting at 17:31. Here is link to the video: ruclips.net/video/aDzeIShlaqQ/видео.html In the future, I might put together a video that is just a tour of the Starlight Apartments to make it easier to find.
In the finished settlement, I have a generator on the other side of the screen. I used the tall street lamps (from Wasteland Workshop I think) to run the wires around to the apartment side. I put power connectors on the wall above the doors of the 1st level to run the wires across the front of the apartments. This was enough to power lights on both the first and second levels. You can kinda see the wiring in the Starlight Drive-in tour video starting at around 17:30 ruclips.net/video/aDzeIShlaqQ/видео.html
I was able to freely place it on top of the storage room roof as long as it wasn't too close to the screen wall or pushed too far forward over the edge of the storage room. I've had a few viewers ask about the placement of the first floor - so I think I will make a quick video this week to show how to do that.
I found that if you try to push the floor too far forward (off the narrow edge of the roof) or try to place it above the blue part of the screen near the back edge of the roof, it is red and you can't place it. Other than that, I'm not sure why a floor can't be placed.
I did this build except I wrapped it along both sides of the theatre screen, this is literally the only thing I’ve built at this settlement and my settlement size meter is full. Super annoying 😂
I like the idea of wrapping it around the screen! That sounds very practical! For the size of Starlight it does have a very small build limit. I think the Skooled Zone has a good video on how to increase the build limit-but use with caution-if you extend it too much it can crash the game.
bro I've always wanted to build apartments up against the drive in screen and I never thought to do it on the backside of it. This is so good!
I have tried many, many times to do something with the front side of the screen but was never able to do anything with it. The backside worked because it is fairly flat and doesn't cause collision issues. The existing structure below the apartments could be used for additional living space too. Thank you - glad you like it!

An extremely charming place, my settlement in Starlight is like the monsters of H.P. lovecraft, abstract and beyond human comprehension.
Thanks! I love that this game allows everyone the freedom to design their settlements however they want.
Sometimes I like to encase it in Scaffolding and make the inwards facing part a hotel and the outwards part the Armory/other general defenses
That is a good idea - it provides both housing and protection! Very cleaver - thanks!

I've had to remove walls for them to go inside, then put them back with the door. Odd. I made walking roofs so they can climb up and see fireworks. instead, they sit by the drive in.
Thank you! The use of railway cars is very interesting for an apartment build. Pathing has always been a problem in this game. I was really hoping that the next gen update would fix some of the pathing issues so that the settlers' movements would be more realistic.
@@cryingcube2 You're welcome. Thank you for the reply! I really enjoyed this vid. Yes the pathing is wonky. ha sometimes it works, sometimes not. I figured since the cars were there, to remove the cars and use railboxes. It worked when it worked After I removed a wall. ha
You're welcome! The railcars are definitely a great idea because the train tracks run right next to that settlement - so they make a lot of sense to use there.
Grrrrr....so angry that I have to reinstall to make this now. Also, not angry at all.
lol! Glad you like it!
The verticality in this one is really great. Do you have plans for the other side of the building too?
Thank you! I've tried numerous times to build something similar to what I built on the back, but the front side of the screen is curved and uneven which causes collision issues in a vanilla build. However - I have been studying the front side to see if there is something else that I can do with it. Not sure at this point what to do - but I would like to do something with that huge eyesore.
Hi, can you please show us your product where you've placed everything inside the apartments
Sure - I did a full tour of the Starlight Drive-in. The decorated tour of inside of the apartments can be found starting at 17:31. Here is link to the video:

In the future, I might put together a video that is just a tour of the Starlight Apartments to make it easier to find.
How did you go about wiring for electrics?
In the finished settlement, I have a generator on the other side of the screen. I used the tall street lamps (from Wasteland Workshop I think) to run the wires around to the apartment side. I put power connectors on the wall above the doors of the 1st level to run the wires across the front of the apartments. This was enough to power lights on both the first and second levels. You can kinda see the wiring in the Starlight Drive-in tour video starting at around 17:30

Awesome!!
Thank you!
After seeing some of these videos... Damn my creativity sucks
Lol! I’m sure you’re not giving yourself enough credit! Hope the videos are helpful to you though.
Me to lol
Thanks!
You're welcome ☺️
how did you get the first floor emplace?
I was able to freely place it on top of the storage room roof as long as it wasn't too close to the screen wall or pushed too far forward over the edge of the storage room. I've had a few viewers ask about the placement of the first floor - so I think I will make a quick video this week to show how to do that.
@davequaschnick2559 I posted a video today that might help you with placement. Hope this helps!

It will not allow me to place a floor there or anywhere along that roof
I found that if you try to push the floor too far forward (off the narrow edge of the roof) or try to place it above the blue part of the screen near the back edge of the roof, it is red and you can't place it. Other than that, I'm not sure why a floor can't be placed.
@Blark3 I posted a video today that might help you with placing the floors on the roof.

@@cryingcube2 that worked, I'll be able to finish now. Thanks.
@@Blark3 Excellent! Glad that helped!
Thanks
You’re welcome ☺️
I did this build except I wrapped it along both sides of the theatre screen, this is literally the only thing I’ve built at this settlement and my settlement size meter is full. Super annoying 😂
I like the idea of wrapping it around the screen! That sounds very practical! For the size of Starlight it does have a very small build limit. I think the Skooled Zone has a good video on how to increase the build limit-but use with caution-if you extend it too much it can crash the game.
Guuurl those are NOT apartments... those are jail cells... You got the Starlight Drive-In Sheriff's Office 😂😂
lol! I can see that - creative! 😂
THE SALT! Where is the pinch of salt?!
Needs more flavor? What did you have in mind?
Rent : $5
LOL! Wonder what the exchange rate for dollars to bottle caps is??
I hate wood...
Understood....I wish there were better options without mods.
Ben there done that. What is the point of no modes? No glitch, so you made a regular construction good for you. Zero originality.
Others disagree.
