I have been experimenting with settlement building in the game and I am disappointed with the lack of certain building pieces. I think we can all agree on that and we should appeal to Bethesda to include these via a future update.

1: windows. There are absolutely no walls with window frames. Apparently settlements are built for recluses who want a vitamin D deficiency. It's possible they thought there were enough holes in the wooden walls to make up for it but if you want to build a metal shelter there are no windows at all. They really should be included because we gamers already have enough problems with Windows. (Ba dum tish)

2: doorways in flat walls. The only doorway pieces so far are the kind that are designed to go only on the outside of the wall. There is no way to divide up the indoors without huge gaping holes.

3: better gates and a fix for junk fences. My first major construction project in the game was a pair of towers with a gate between them. The only decently sized gate was the one from the junk fence category. I had a hell of a time doing it because some idiot made it impossible to neatly line up such pieces as they simply don't connect to each other.

I would also have a problem with the wooden floor tiles. Last night I was trying to build a two-storey shack using the wooden stairs and the small floor tiles. When I looked from the outside I saw there was a gap because they aren't quite as thick as the upper floor tile.

I also think spiral stairs should be considered the next update, and someone was played a lot of the Sims, I can tell you they save a lot of space.

For the second floor, look at your floors, right next to the stairs, is a floor section called...second floor or second story. Use those and it'll take care of the gaps.

sum of holes in walls = 1 open window per wall section

so it is a Radiation Storm sieve vs Rad Storm portal !

We need walls with half the size! I created a great layout only to discover a nice gap between sections which would have been closed with a half wall. I'm shocked we get partial floors but not partial walls to fit those floor pieces.

I concur with walls having windows and especially walls with door frames! I could actually build a nice looking hotel with walls with door frames.

If you want to remove the collision from junk walls, I highly recommend you use a rug. Hit up YouTube to see how it's done, but once you learn this technique, it's useful for many other things that are hindered by collision. There's even a great tutorial to show how you can add "ceilings" to the houses in Sanctuary using this technique. Let's just hope Bethesda doesn't "fix" this.

I'd also like rugs that actually fit the entire floor panel, not those weirdly shaped things.

What would also be nice is me taking all this paint I find in the Commonwealth and put my settlers to work painting their home and work space.

I'd also pay to have a "contraption" I can power that acts as an elevator for aesthetics.

Does anyone know if there is any upcoming DLC with new building parts?

Place junk fence on a carpet. Move the carpet. It will allow you to clip fence.

There are nothing official info yet about anything at all due to any DLC. Players on consoles may get DLC, but what kinds of DLC none knows except.. developers. Players on PC, DLC or use of game editor, maybe both. I like to have bridges, so I can be able to cross water and of course increase of settlements working space. I have bought season pass so hopefully I get something back for that investment. Bethesda always take care of the community and I do trust them. Even adding a game editor is a nice thing to do, not all game companies do that.

They diddn't take care of me when I spent ￡40 on a copy for my pc, only to find out it couldn't handle the game. And all they did when I asked for help was to refer me to their FAQ page.

Go to the Nexus. There are quite a lot of building mods up already.

Doesn't do anything for console players.

But yes, there's 3 or 4 good ones and they all play nice together, for the most part. My favorites are the Institute pieces, nice and clean with a number of window/glass panels!

I'd love a wall piece with electrical connectors on the inside and outside, so I can more easily string wires where I want them.

Calling it now. In the first DLC we will take a ship to Denmark where we'll raid the Lego factory.

Did you check the game's system requirements before buying the game?

Granted, most minimum system requirements are actually a bit higher than what is actually necessary to run the game, but they serve as a general guideline. I was kinda forced to play FO4 on my laptop since my desktop GPU died right before the game was released. The laptop's Radeon HD 8850m was able to run the game adequately enough at 1600x900 resolution with a mix of some low and medium settings.

I want more smaller pieces, we have small floor pieces, where are the smaller roofs, half height and half width wall sections? We need those.

Like someone said above there should be a better way to get power "through" a wall.

Wall and ceiling mounted turrets would be nice.

FENCES SHOULD LOCK TOGETHER OR OVERLAP!!!!!! GGGRRRRR.

more pieces that aren't full of holes, If I made a roof it wouldn't have holes, wasteland or not.

Go somewhere like Abernathy farm and look at the state of the floor inside the main building, If I lived there I would sweep the floor, I want a way to get rid of random piles of rubble and paper in the middle of the rooms I want to use as bedrooms, there are so many settlements I don't bother with because they are far too messy, it may be Fallout but I want to make a better home, that's the whole point.

Yeah, hygiene isn't high on the agenda of settlers. One might think, they would at least have managed to set up working toilets and bathtubs within 200 years.

One of the wooden walls has windows...sorta. For metal, put in a door way and fill the bottom with wooden fencing.

I want lockable doors and gates that attackers have to lockpick. I desparately hoped for windowed walls to use them as defensive elements (gun loopholes) but since I installed the Snap 'n Build bunker mod I'm no longer in need for this.

I'm still hoping for a inline door frame that you can attach like a wall, because all we have is the junk fence, and the door frame that only snaps to the outside of a floor. Also wooden poles to help do away with the floating structure look would be great too.

upper-floor versions of the small floors

half width walls (not just the two wood angled ones)

interior doorways

a few so-obvious-how-were-they-missed containers: big safe, ammo box, first-aid kit, etc

alternate terminal models (wall mounted, desk based)

and allow crafting stations to be built in homeplate

Oh and for those who wanted a nicer way to get power "through" a wall, there's a pretty trivial glitch that works.


Place wall. Place connector on the outside. Connect wire. Pick up the wall, hold the rotate button until it rotates to face the other way and snaps back into position, place it. The connector will be on the inside now, and the wire will not care about the fact it goes through the wall.

If the doorway is on the second floor or above, you can solve the gaping hole problem by covering up the hole with a flat ROOF placed on the floor below. It will look slightly "sunken", so put a floor covering there. Settlers will walk over it as if it were a floor. If you leave the gaping hole as is, you can still put a floor covering there to make it walkable, but settlers won't walk on it even though you can.

To have indoor doorways on the first floor, there seems no other way than using prefabs with built-in doorways (https://www.dropbox.com/s/axjormgjaoc6xzb/Fallout4%202015-11-27%2021-49-01-49.jpg?raw=1).

All of the above plus outhouse, water filled bathtub or at least non broken. Also green in places. Nature would be overgrown. Just look at images of Chernobyl (sp). With all of the water purifying going on. Baths would be had.

I agree with most of what you listed especially the half walls and walls with windows and doorways, the junk fences I don't care about because I don't use them except for the gate which will fit neatly between two concrete blocks but I understand why it would annoy the people who do want to use them.

I would also add to the list brick walls because it seems strange to me that something that is so easily recyclable like bricks which are literally everywhere aren't used as a building source, yet I can apparently construct a huge perfectly square concrete block with no problems.

Bethesda included the most additive part of the game with base building, I've spent more time doing that than the maggot with arms that I'm supposed to be looking for and quite frankly don't care about, I just wish they were more flexible with what you could do because I look at all the mods that allow you to build all the things you should be able to build with growing envy because as I'm on console I know I can't have nice things unless the powers that be give it to me.

I build so much, I've run out of steel a couple of times now.

My list, some of it repetitive:

1. Interior Doors

2. Walls with windows, or linuxes ( boom!)

3. Smart doors that will only let me in, or companions. I hate finding Mama Murphy stinking up my bed.

4. Double beds. They exist in the world, why can't we build some. And sheets.

5. More defensive structures, like sandbags and those armored walls. Barbed Wire.

6. Cinderblock walls, and brick walls. Half height and half width walls.

7. Some way to either tear down every existing structure or repair them. I want Croup Manor to return to it's former glory. I want Sunshine Commune to look great again.

8. Stair railings.

9. Cats, damn it!

10. Kitchen pieces, and bathroom pieces.

11. Weed removal. Corpse removal. Trash removal.

12. Defense Robots.

13. Terminals.

14. Bridge and road repair. Maybe make asphalt an item.

Please don't tell me there are mods for this, I play on a PS4. Hopefully this sort of thing will come in a DLC rather than a mod. Bethesda, a settlement DLC is what I most want for my Season Pass investment.

I love the mods I've used.

My walls actually connect.

I used a 1 tile room...Placed some fences then placed a door turned sideways to use as a shuttered window.

Placed Down walls of tires, concrete, sandbags, and heck I even used over turned furniture for walls.

Its nice to be able to place stuff with Precision with console commands.

But ya maybe they should get that Geck out and fire up the ol bethnet.
