Better Housebuilding Options, Please read Bethesda

Post » Sun Nov 29, 2015 1:45 am

Hello, as you probably have guessed me and meny other creative building fanatics were extremely stoked about the new crafting and building mechanics in Fallout 4.

I for one, absolutely love building creative, complex and not least, good looking houses in any game.

But i find it hard to be satisfied with my houses in Fallout 4, and thats because of ONE reason.. There aren't many options when it comes to good looking walls and roofs, not any that looks what i call "nice" actually, except for one particular wall, but thats one of the pre-made structures that has a floor, roof and pillars attached to it.

What i HIGHLY suggest, and would be overjoyed to see is this: Have the option to make more good looking houses! For example let me have to option to build a wooden wall which is compact and without any holes or cracks, and instead have it cost more wood for example! And also allow me to paint it. Have loot that has components of which you can make different colors of paint. I, and i know many others, long for the option of being able to simply make better looking houses that can have a more "home" feel to them. And again, have them cost more materials to build.

Thank you for reading my humble suggestion.

If you consider it i would of course greatly appreciate it.

The game is absolutely amazing. Great work as always, Bethesda.

I know what you mean... and this auto snapping system makes me want to throw my controller across the room in disgust. I go to place an item at just the right spot and SPOINNNNNG... it latches onto something which is nowhere near where I wanted it. Try again and SPOOIINNNNNNG!... Somewhere else I don't want it. Also when it is latched onto another item, why can't you still rotate it to fine tune it? This seems a basic editor to say the least. Why can't you place items right next to each other too... they always have a big gap between things like the Junk walls that have to be covered by other bits that you can't get really close so makes the end product look crap. Where are the supporting parts... Vertical beams that can be attached to the corners of a platform that is hanging in midair would be on the essential list.

Is there a way to turn off auto snap that I just haven't found yet? Because if not then I won't be doing any more building because it is just getting me more riled up. The game is really fun most of the time... and then it is wrecked by this poorly thought out base building.

Why is it you can only rotate stuff through a flat plane... I suppose that I am used to building stuff in Kerbal Space Program where the builder lets you rotate through any degrees and place them without snap if you don't want it.

Fallout 4 seems to be a Jack of All Trades... and master of none. No... the base building is not a Jack... it's a 3 of spades.

I agree with you 100% OP! Why the heck can't we build with pre-war texture options ya know or modify and repair existing houses and buildings.
