The question that none of these videos answers is, does our builds save automatic if the camp is moved? When the camp is moved does everything you built get destroyed? Do you need to blueprint everything in you're shelter like you do for camps?
That is an excellent question. Shelters are instanced and completely separate from your camp in every way. The only link between your shelter and your camp is the entrance you build in your camp. If your camp is moved or you switch to a different camp slot, everything in your shelter remains exactly as you left it. Nothing in it will change until you go in there and change it yourself. For example, I built a bar in my utility room when shelters first came out. I've moved camps, placed the shelter entrance down in almost everything I've built since then, and my utility room is still exactly as I made it years ago. Hope that covers your concerns!
@kikibplays it does. Thank you for replying. Spent hours looking for that answer, youtube and even reddit didn't seem like anybody knew or at least even asked the question. I'm really happy to hear it saves it all.
I've said it before, and I will say it again. You have a real talent for presenting tutorials in a clear and easy to understand manner. Keep up the great work.
A trick I did to get flooring(mostly) flush with the walls in the Utility shelter was to snap down a wall piece in front of the door, then turn snapping off to line up a floor piece. I turned it back on and snapped down the flooring to mostly cover the entire floor space of the shelter. It acts a bit like it won't go down, but when you get to the walls, you can spin the floor piece and spam down the placement, and it will actually snap down where the floor is flush with the shelter walls. Couple spots I had to put some half and quarter floors down, but the most of the shelter has nice flush flooring.
I swear, with a lot of these "design" decisions, Bethesda Austin is like the J.V. team but filed with devs that the company felt so bad for that they didn't want to just fire them. Thank you for giving us a tutorial with solutions and presenting it in a clear, straightforward manner, you are much appreciated!
Thanks for the video! Simple and easy to understand. I'm used to building in Fallout 4, and while there are lots of similarities, there are also plenty of differences, and both are equally as frustrating to use lol. Finally decided I wanted to build a shelter and was just at a loss; the big open room felt very overwhelming.
Great video. I haven't played around with shelters much. All that I have is the free baby shelter that they give you. I didn't realize that it was easier to build in a shelter and that you have a little bigger budget.
Some people use that free little one to hold all their crafting stations. It saves budget for your above ground camps and also can be placed and accessed at every camp slot.
You did a really good job with this. As a new player it helped so much. Thank you. I usually play eso and do a great bit with housing so obviously first thing I wanted to do is explore building. Again ty. This helps a lot
I have the vault living quarters but I can't find the vault themed stuff like the doors or generator. also is their a way to move stored stuff at my camp to my shelter?
The doors and generator should be in their respective categories in the build menu when you're in your shelter. And no, your camp and shelters don't share stored items or budget or anything.
Thank you for this video, I started playing this game a few days ago and started making my custom camp yesterday and was wondering how to build in the shelter when you place it And go inside.
Definitely would have been better if they just had the shelters act more like Vault 88 in FO4. An entrance that could easily snap to floors. Plus it'd be easier to design them. Just give us a big open space, and the entrance can be themed
1:40 How to access Shelters from your camp. Those jackasses at Reddit kept telling the poor guy asking for help to talk to the robot (that he already talked to, like me, and still didn't understand). Reddit is a cesspool of the scummiest assholes on the planet.
I've been trying to work out some scheduling issues so I can stream. It's a little challenging, what with having a family and also living in the EU when most of my viewers are in the US, but I'll get it figured out (I think fairly soon 😉)
@@kikibplays I'm excited! I know life is super busy with having a family. You're my favorite fo76 builder though, so I appreciate everything you do. Also, I had a quick question. What can I use besides the flame thrower? I don't have the fireproof perk card and it's driving me nuts~
Thanks so much! I don't know of anything you can use in place of the flamethrower trap, but you can always get a teammate to build one in your camp for you. If you're on Playstation I'm happy to 😊
@@kikibplays Unfortunately no, I'm on PC. Tonight after playing for a couple of hours I FINALLY got that stupid perk card haha. Off to try the roofing tricks~
Definitely learned some things, but definitely not what i was hoping to learn. Though i have my suspicions about what i was hoping to learn anyway. Was hoping to learn how to increase the size of the shelter. So far from everything ive seen it seems the sizes are fixed depending on the type of shelter you create. I am assuming that the "shelters" you buy in the atom shop are not outright decoration pieces for your already existing shelter but rather separate shelter instances with a different theme already built in.
Why cant you place power core rechargers inside? I can place one abouve ground but not in base i was hoping to have only the bunker and do away with building a reg base
There are a lot of objects you can't place in shelters because of the instances used to create them. In game time doesn't pass inside a shelter, so any camp items that do X thing over time won't function (crops, coffee machine, other resource generators)
If you have the fallout 1st subscription vault shelter what happens when your subscription runs out? Do you lose access to it? Do your builds in them get deleted?
@@kikibplays can you continue to build in it? Or is it like everything else where you can continue to keep it but further use is halted. And thank you so much for answering. Was wanting to know more but I couldn’t find anything anywhere
You just have to build them manually each time. Do all the steps so that you have a ring of walls, and then it should let you snap in overlapping foundations to the walls after that (it used to, but that may have changed, I haven't checked).
@kikibplays its not letting me snap overlapping foundations to walls. 😕 Error is: "Cannot place item: intersects with an existing item" is there another work around you know of?
Stuff you've built or stored in your camp won't show up in your shelter - each camp slot and each shelter has its own build budget/item storage (though they do all use materials from your stash for building).
A couple tips: first, pick up just about everything that's junk - cans, fans, cups, clipboards, pens, duct tape, whatever. It all breaks down into (many) different types of components that will allow you to build lots of different things and craft weapons and armor. Second, take over workshops. You have to defeat some enemies to claim them, but you'll get free building plans every time you claim one, which will unlock things like different types of lighting, defensive structures, building sets, furniture, etc. If you're not sure where to find workshops, you can Google something like 'how to claim a workshop in Fallout 76' for more info. Third, scrap all your junk before storing it in your stash box. To do that, walk over to any workbench (besides cooking). Select the 'scrap' option when looking at the workbench (not craft or modify). At the bottom of your screen you'll see an option to 'scrap all junk.' Selecting that will break heavier junk items (desk fans, telephones, tin cans, teddy bears, etc) down into lighter weight base components (steel, wood, screws, cloth, etc). It will save you a LOT of weight in your stash. Do this any time you have junk to store, and take out any junk you already have stored to break it down before putting it back. Hope that helps a little!
You buy them in the atomic shop. They're not all always available so if you want specific ones, keep an eye on the shop each week to see when they come back
To make the interior space bigger? No, but you can place other shelter entrances inside your shelters, so you can connect them that way and create the effect of one large vault by chaining them together.
I do still play! And if you're ever looking for other players (female or otherwise) to roam the wasteland with, we've got some really great folks over on my Discord.
Now, if Bethesda could just implement an actual gameplay reason to have a shelter, I'd be happy. I mean, they're nice to look at, but they serve no real purpose that I can find, which seems bizarre in a post-apocalyptic world 🤣

I just thought about how I don't know how to build in shelters. Glad to see this video posted!
I hope it's useful! I had a bit of a tough time putting it together 😅
I was just about to start decorating mine and this video was a great help.
Thank you for another amazing video, learn something new everyday with this game.
Do you have a video on how to mix above ground with the shelters where it makes sense you're not repeating a bunch of stuff
I don't yet, but I am working on a fun shelter-related video for (hopefully) this week!
Thanks for this, mainly wanted to see if it was possible to snap the walls to the existing edges but guess not.

Have you done the shelter quest that you start by clicking on a Shelters ad poster?

Noob question. And she probably covered but I missed it.. can you use a shelter for every benefit you would get from a camp?
No, not every benefit. You can't grow crops, place allies, or have water sources or resource collectors in shelters.
Interesting but it does look like it's more for someone who is a bit more advanced in the game and understands the basics if camp building.
Where is this poster!?? Ive been to trainstations and dont see this damn poster!
There's a bulletin board inside with a bunch of quest posters

Yep, that's pretty much exactly it. They are basically very large instanced prefabs with their own build budgets.
@@kikibplays would it be safe to assume the atom shop shelters have much more space then the default one you obtain from the quest?
They do. I made a video comparing them all (at that point; there are a few more by now).

Thanks, and thanks for letting me know! Not sure why they are, but I'll fix that!
I cannot connect any building peices together..none at All, floors walls ect will not snap together while building in my shelter. Any recommendations?
You've accidentally toggled snapping off. Check the bottom of your screen in build mode, it'll tell you what button to push to turn it back on.
@@kikibplays Thanks 😊

The green lawn? That's on the Whitespring golf course, just south of the golf club

Hey im fairly stuck i normally have a lot already in my storage but it doesnt show up in my vault. But if i go outside i can see it

can we build in the vault 51 shelter?
Idk if I’m dumb or not but I’m Lv 30 now and I can’t build much.
I feel junk is the most weight in my box. I know to collect wood but idek
A couple tips: first, pick up just about everything that's junk - cans, fans, cups, clipboards, pens, duct tape, whatever. It all breaks down into (many) different types of components that will allow you to build lots of different things and craft weapons and armor.

It will save you a LOT of weight in your stash. Do this any time you have junk to store, and take out any junk you already have stored to break it down before putting it back.
Hope that helps a little!

Can you make permanent bases or shelters?
You can't make bases that persist while you're offline, if that's what you mean.
