What's the workbench exploit...? I'm on PS4.

Double post error...

Simply scrap any item on the ground where you settlement is, and it will count as having been apart of your settlement, thus decreasing your total limit. Plus you shouldn't try to avoid the auto censor, that's against the rules.

Thanks for the Info.

Now I can actually build a proper Base.

fyi ... he's streaming right now doing a build.

He's streaming on youtube or you can watch it on your ps4's Game Broadcast's app thingy.

Finally got to watch the vid, plus a few of yer others, and all I can say is d-d-d-damn!

Regardless of how you got the settler count(htf?), regardless of it being PS4(, amazing enough itself, dunno how yer PS4 dinna blow up!), that is some way beyond impressive work, and a hell of a lot of detailed lovin'.

Kudos, cheers, and Slainte!

That's awesome and very impressive it was done on PS4. Not a modded PC cheat code specialist. Great video.

How did you get around the build limit? I have a concrete barrier thats 1 high around the diner part, 5 shacks maybe 25 lights and around 7 laser turrets. Now i cant build anything more. So how did you build this??

Reading is for fools

Pretty cool though, you must play this game so much. Thanks for the video

Wow, one of the most impressive things I've seen done in game! Nice job, OP! Where did you get all those potted plants? Really makes the place come alive.

Dude.. Thanks for your post, and taking time to sign up here. I just spent 3+ hours watching some of your videos. Thumbs 'd you up where I could. Thanks for the inspiration and ideas on furthering my own ends..

Lets imagine Fallout 20 years from now. Never mind 200! lol ...

Keep building man till that PS4/$ starts smokin'

I know, right? I just switched to PS4 a couple of months ago, had no idea it could handle stuff like this.

Mind. Blown.

Awesome build,colour me impressed.

Shame you couldn't paint the foundation blocks though

As for the settler thing,i recently got 38 of them in outpost zimonja,wish i knew what was at play there,it isn't char as mine is 23 with clothing.I think it's just a glitch as it didn't happen to any other of my many settlements.

It's a pain too,that outpost is rather small so it's very crowded,may start culling them.

This game would be so rad if it had Coop mode.

That is some fine stuff OP!

haha wow thanks. but yeah alot of times during the builds, im wishing i had different options to choose from, my imagination for building is quite high and i do feel limited by not just the mechanics, but by the options of items i have to work with. On the other hand, it forces me to be MORE creative with my builds.

wow im very glad you think so!! I honestly keep seeing all these top 10 and top 5 settlement build videso on youtube... but I dont ever see any of my builds lol. How do i get noticed? or get my builds featured? I aint trying to beg for attention, but my ultimate goal is to show th console gamers whats capable, if i give them inspiration and motivation to build awesome structures, we will see all sorts of new crazy ideas!!

I apreciate it !!! Cheers

Played everyday since release so far. Your welcome, but more importanty, glad you enjoyed it.

Plants are obtained through collecting the picket fence magazines. Thanks!

I really appreciate that Capin!! Please message me a link to your build when your done. Always super excited to see other builds!

Good to know that this is possible. I want to offer a few points, though.

Just to be clear, the 10 + Cha stat is not assumed. It is stated as the cap in the official guide. Obviously it can be incorrect or not tell all of the details since things can change between the guide writing and the final game release, but I just wanted to be clear that the cap is official from Bethesda's info provided to Prima for the guidebook, not anything assumed by players.

Note that the guide does not offer any sort of caveat that the cap doesn't apply to the radio beacon or that the beacon has anything to do with population growth other than speeding up the rate at which settlers are attracted.

Also, please note that I have had settlements with extremely high defense, well over 100 and a few multiples of food + water, and they have still been attacked, even almost wiped out as far as crops and defenses are concerned. There have been others who have posted here with the same or similar experiences. I would say that the OP has had some good luck with his specific play thru but that it may not happen the same the next time.

Obviously, who knows what will happen once the patches from Bethesda begin being applied.

Hmm good points, thanks for the info.

Question....Do you still think my 62 ppl is a bug in the game or have a theory on how I got al these settlers? I also have 40 ppl at castle, 36 at murkwater station and 30 at another place... And they all populated on their own. (Ofcourse i have built things there). I am curious to find out, what i triggered or might have done to get all that. Has to be an unknown factor becuase I have other friends who also have settlements in the 30+ range of settlers.

I seriously hope patches don't ruin the building glitch. My thinking is that the population is tied to the amount of objects used in building. Obviously the game tracts how large your settlement build is and perhaps the 10+Cha cap the guide conveyed assumes that you won't circumvent the building limit. My theory is that even though the meter reduces when you store weapons the game actually remembers the actual build size and adjusts accordingly. The meter acts solely as a cap and is calculated seperate from how your build size is calculated. So even though your build meter is rising and falling, the games actual record of the size of your settlement continues to rise. In otherwords, the amount of settlers is only limited by the size of your build, and once the player circumvents the build limit he circumvents the settler limit as well. There probably are other elements that fit into the equation but I have to imagine this is part of it.

As for Bethesda tying up this particular loose end, it would seem to be to their disadvantage to do so. I doubt they'd be liable for any hardware damage done to your machine seeing as how they put a limit in game and players willingly circumvented it. Even if they did eliminate the glitch, someone would just mod away the building limit anyway. Not to mention the uproar from gamers currently exploiting and enjoying this glitch and the possibility that it could damage or corrupt saved game files of hundreds of hours.

My theory is they knew about this glitch and willingly left it in the final product. Protects them from accusations of selling a product that could cause damage and yet leaves the option available for thise willing to use it. Allows them to gather a larger sample size of data as to exactly how much the consoles can handle.

I have an Xbox1 and am looking forward to testing it's limits once my character reaches higher levels.

very very nice great job

Except that from Ops larger video it's clear the 62 settler showed up while his build was still quite modest in comparison, so perhaps I am off. Hmmm... I am going to try and follow his example as much as possible and see if I can get excessive settlers. I really want to know what triggered this. What's the equation?

Yeah I hope it isn't something we tell our kids one day about all the crazy stuff we used to do back in the day.

I just can't believe Bethesda would see amazing works of art like this and say, "yeah, we better shut it down." Are the console's next gen or not?
