Fence building is the Bane of my Existence

Post » Sat Dec 12, 2015 12:57 am

I am about to throw in the towel with Fallout 4 and call it a waste of time and money. Building houses...shacks and those [censored] fences are just too, too much. What the hell were you thinking Bethesda? It is a game spoiler.

I have watched several videos on Youtube.com on how have others have used different techniques, but I personally cannot get them to work. I tried the floor mate trick, but it did not work for me. Neither did using the console to type in TFC...or whatever the code is to...take down the Invisible walls: But, that did not work either.

The truth be told I have to stop playing Fallout 4 until Bethesda fixes this [censored].....if in fact they do.....because it is causing me a great deal stress: And, at my age I don't need a heart attack or a stroke, due to a video game. Jesus Christ!

Yeah, the fences bite. I use the 2nd selection of fence posts spacing them about 2' apart. works very well. It may use a lot more lumber but it's much easier. Looks nicer too imo.

I did this for one of my settlements. It does look pretty good!

I have been trying to build some walls around Sanctuary Hills, but it isn't working out for me. I have tried using those cursed junk fences and and building walls, but the bastards want to go their own way, not my way. I just spent three hours trying. I had to give up because at 68 my stress level was causing my heart to actually hurt, from the stress of it. I think the best thing to do it forget about fortifying the settlement and let everyone fend for themselves. Besides, the married couple get on my nerves, anyway: And, Mamma Murphy is just a junkie, so who cares about her. Also, I am tired of everyone sleeping in my house and stealing my armor. I don't know what Bethesda was thinking? All we can hope for is a mod that fixes that nonsense. At this point I'd pay someone to fix it.

Junk fences aren't a lot of fun to work with. Their collision models are strange and you have to rotate them into weird directions just to get them close to eachother.. the result is definitely not a straight fence.

No fences for me, not least because they are useless. I string power poles occasionally for fun but it's multistory buildings with easy access for me.

Basic structures for me.

It does! Also, another tip. If you don't want to run wiring in a building - build a couple of generators on the roof and place 1 or 2 power pylons on top - depending on how large the structure is. It will power every floor in the building. Well, I've only tried on a 4 story building but it works great.

I am not looking so much for a straight fence, sometimes you have to follow the lay of the land, like in real life. I noticed too when I was trying to build the fence that one piece actually stood on the ground. The others were up in the air when trying to get the fence to run across the sidewalks. I will just have leave it be and hope for a mod that fixes the problem. But, the kit isn't out yet. It isn't worth having a heart attack over. As I stated before those idiots that I save in Concord weren't actually worth saving. They are so damn annoying. I just cringe every time i an near them.
