Hey guys, here is a little video showcasing my big ps4 build located at Starlight Drive - In.

I have 62 Settlers living here in this tropical resort.(no cheats or mods obviously as its ps4)

Edit: Exploits have been used to increase build limit size and materials.

Edit: Hey guys, a few ppl have been having trouble finding my info and streams and videos...

My past streams and all my build videos are saved and located on my Youtube Channel : https://www.youtube.com/user/TheJekyl

If you check his YT channel there are a couple vids showing how he made it. Note some are hours long. Really unbelievable.

Holy flights of fantasy Batman! Outstanding, the music goes so well with it too. Shame my character can't visit your stupendous creation for a bit of trading. Excellent effort! Can't believe that was done on the Ps4, very impressive.

I do have a couple questions.

How did you get rid of the radiation that is all over that pond?

Also do raiders spawn inside the building? I've read that walls are meaningless to them. If so do you need turrets inside the building?

I think it's pretty remarkable that you did all this with a controller, and without tcl.

You can scrap the radioactive barrels in build mode.

I just want to know how you get around the horrible object/build size limit :o

Obviously there is more at play here than our original assumption of charisma + 10. Likely over all lvl is also a factor because one of my settlements just went up to 17 when i hit lvl 36 and my charisma is still 6.

I'm level 52 and can't get settlers over 20... The guy must have used either the your special exploit or found a way to perma increase charisma.

The max settlers I've been able to achieve with a 10 charisma(no bobblehead yet) is 25, and that's by wearing clothes granting a +5 CHA. I'd assumed that would increase to 26 once I get the bobblehead, I could see maybe getting a point or so higher by using a chem to reduce CHA, then using the SPECIAL book and bobblehead, but I'd love to know how this is possible.

Lots of questions raised by this. Its always possible there is a bug on the limit of settlers in OP's game. But its an amazing achievement none the less. Kudos.

LOVE what you have done with the place!! :) Very impressive build for sure! I can't wait to have access to all these items! I think I did get potted plants the other day, but haven't tried that out yet.

Also, very clever way to use the little pond in the center of your build! Great idea! :)

I have 25 settlers at this place. At the time I noticed it my next highest was sanctuary that was stuck at 18 for 6 days.
I think the drive through just has a really nice bug.

Hey Guys, so I just wanted to clear up a few things...

I did not cheat to get this many settlers here, nor did I send them all here from other places. I actual have a couple settlements at 30+ settlers.

Remember!!! Recruitment beacon is no capped.

I will be posting a how to video soon on getting settlers, as I am still testing my theories on how exactly i did it, i believe there are a few factors that are concerned, however, the biggest factors in high number of settlers is, TIME and high level, and having all the needs of settlers met.

Starlight drive in, i built on day 3 after release (just a shanty shack with sleeping bags etc...beacon food etc and i was probably levl 15 to 20..) However, I built it to cover 40 people comfortably. 40 beds, food water, and probably 150 defense. (i go overboard on defense.) it took my a couple days of returning to starlight as the settlers came in and assigning them to jobs. After i had 10 ppl, i left. AND NEVER RETURNED!! Didnt have a reason to return, it was never attacked and i forgot about it really. Well that was like 3 weeks ago, and a few days ago, i was bored, and travelled there randomly...to find 65 ppl. At first i thought it was glitch... restarted the game. reloaded save point. then i actually walked aorund physically counting ppl and was like holy crap there really are this many ppl here.

So i started sending ppl AWAY, but after i sent 3 settlers to other settlements... i stopped...and realized i should probably take this opportunity to build something huge and keep them all here.

My murkwater construction settlement is at 36 ppl, so i am trying to conclude and confirm what i am doing to get lots of people before telling everyone a guarunteed strategy.

My current level is 104, no exploits...its legit. My builds however, i used the workbench exploit to increase the build limit size on ps4. (havent had any significant decrease in performance yet, although frame rate does drop low sometimes, but not all the time.)

Keys to high numbers of settlers:

Recruitment beacon. (Only need 1)

HIGH defense. (my settlement was neverattacked i think due to such high defense rating deterred attacks)

ample food water and getting rid of radiation.

Supply lines. I have 60 supply lines running through all 24 of my settlement. (roughly 3 provisioners from each settlement set out in every direction)

Most important. ......

TIME. Get the settlement started, built up. and LEAVE it ALONE.

The settlements i visit the LEAST, have the most ppl, 62 at starlight, 36 at murwater, 40 at castle... 30 at sactuary...etc....

But I appreciate the comments guys!!

Id love to answer more questions.

That was beautiful. Absolutely amazing! I'm on a PS4 as well so I know a little of what you must have went through to build that. The thing that gets me the most is, the rotate controls are backwards. Drives me out of my mind. Right goes left, left goes right.

Just thought I'd mention that you can go in to Settings and mess with the HUD Opacity setting to get your compass to disappear for the video's if you'd like them super clean. I do that when I'm making video's.

If we can do that with just the basics, I can only imagine what we'll be able to do when someone starts making mods for the PS4.

Another thing that would be helpful is if we could use the touchpad.

Again, that is incredible. Thank you for posting that.

This is easily the most impressive settlement i've seen. No amounts of pixel art can equate to the ambiance you feel when you walk into that massive (and well organized) lobby. My only piece of criticism would be that perhaps there are too many lights? I wonder how it would have looked if it was a little dimmer, and not so copy + pasted with all the floodlights.

It's settlements like this that make it imperative that we should get a settlement gallery in future updates. What use is user generated content if we can't share it with eachother, am I right?!

That is a thing of beauty and worth the time and effort I'm quite sure you put into it :) well done!
Brilliant though; there are still settlers complaining. They don't they are born living in that luxury hahaha

Hey, thanks for the run through, it's not only amazingly, but you have good decorative sense; I ADORE the pond/fountain/lighting ... it's my favorite bit.

I have one question: "Supply lines. I have 60 supply lines running through all 24 of my settlement. (roughly 3 provisioners from each settlement set out in every direction)"

Why? Why have 3 supply lines? This does nothing for you, does it?

Would still like to know what perks you have and how much is needed from finding magazines and such.

My current SS is the first one I've decided to focus more an settlements and wondering what I need since as of right now (with one LL perk) I really can't build much.

Hey thanks and im super glad you like my decorative sense.

You are most likely very right about the provisioners. As long as all settlements are connected by atleast 1 line, you will share all supplies. However, at the time i set the lines up. Not much was known about how they worked. So i set up lots. And trying to run around the waste land re-assigning my redundant provisioners is a futile effort. So I am just letting them do their thang.
