I address the floating buildings issue by building elevated wood floor platforms, they provide a nice level deck for my "condos". Here are the only pics I have at the moment, sorry for the poor visibility I'll get some better ones.

After a while you'll be able to post links--it's a spambot prevention thing.

Thanks, i can see it. I finally found a mod to make concretes snap. Its called "alotta patiencia"...

Using the concrete blocks trick has allowed me to start my humble abode.

Will post more once complete

Thanks!

Here are some better daytime pics of that settlement as well as a couple others, including my largest structure yet, all using the raised wood platform strategy. I noticed there's a massive empty space in front of Abernathy Farm, so I decided to try an extra large custom structure. Still haven't decided what to do with it.. thinking either a hotel for the settlement, or maybe just be selfish and build myself a personal mansion. I am the General, after all.

I have personally seen it happen three times.

-First:

In my first play through in Sanctuary. I built a wall between/connecting the four buildings nearest the workshop building going toward the bridge. (Workshop house, your own house, the house next door to your house toward the bridge, and a house I built myself in place of the demolished house toward the bridge). Perfectly solid and sealed with a gate. Gate packed with turrets, guard posts, etc.

It said it was under attack and I fast traveled there, the raiders were inside of the house next door to the player character's house, all of them. Inside the walls.

-Second:

That homestead where you get the flaming sword quest with the father and son. I built a wall around it with some defenses and what not. I got a message it was under attack, I fast traveled, there where upwards of TEN super mutants inside the wall right outside the house when I got there.

-Third:

The Castle. I fixed the walls up, had it surrounded in defenses, etc... The one and only time it was attacked I was actually already there and the attack ended instantly. Six raiders spawned literally dead center in the middle of the fort right next to the radio tower and were shot to death my settlers instantly. They didn't run in, get shot by defenses, nada... Spawned right in the middle of the fort. And then annoyingly their bodies remained there for the rest of my save game, never going away for some reason.

The best place to build in Sanctuary is over by the actual river by the playground equipment. I just use Concrete or Stilt foundations its a snap.

->WHY cause there are no spawns over by the Playground and Sanctuary has enough Water Space to build like 10 Water Purifiers...

The problem I run into constantly is that even if I scrap all the available wood at settlements its not enough. I scrap everything, pick up everything, and buy up those measly 50 wood shipments...Still not enough.

50 wood shipment is soo little amount, they need to offer me amounts of around 10,000 Wood per shipment otherwise its just an aweful waste of time.

Here is why, most wood structure parts is about 10 Pieces Per. Of course you get some parts for as little as 4 Pieces but if you stop to think about it your going to assemble something like 300-500 Parts...For one building.

Walling off the settlement geez that just seems like a waste of good Resources that I could have used to build some really cool structures that you know also have their own walls

I have more than enough of all other Resources but Wood...Wood is way more needed for building actual settlement buildings and what with what 30 settlements and not all of them coming with buildings already standing and waiting for you well guess what you need loads of this Matt.

Screws HA, not rare at all, Adhesives?? Have you seen my glue factory?

Aluminum not rare at all, all the high end resource stuff man that stuff isn't nearly needed as much as Wood Resource.

Have you guys even considered building a structure over the Water to house your NPC's?

Makes for a very nice funnel.

Scrapping Stations, sure these are nice, but they cant keep up with my pace of building.
