Wow, that's pretty dope.

Kudos to all of you for making such great places.

A question about fences. Are they any good? Meaning, do they help with defense, considering enemies can respawn inside your settlement?

» Mon Nov 30, 2015 12:36 am

Quite a poignant picture that, the lone guard.

Anyone know which settlement location has the biggest build area and/or limit on how much stuff you can make?

» Mon Nov 30, 2015 9:09 am

Hay! Cheater

That's pretty cool. I just wish there were columns for holding up platforms/floors. I could make some really cool stuff then.

Seem to work for me, haven't seen a raider inside yet. Don't think anythings got near enough yet anyway, saw 4 super mutants get cut down in a hail of fire from about 10 turrets yesterday.

Just a quick start to fortifying Sanctuary. Nothing as fancy as others have posted here, but I kinda like a bit more of a rustic, haphazard atmosphere.

Bah. I'm still too busy trying to keep everyone fed and safe to make anything nice. I'm spending tons of materials just on turrets.

Watched my Defences at The Castle shred a group of Gunner Raiders, was laughing so much I forgot to take a picture

Decided to expand my pad at Sanctuary a little, keeping it restrained though

Penultimate vid, almost done now. Noticed quite a bit of slow down in certain parts but I can live with it.

Superb.

Control your recruitment. I only have beacons active at two sites and the redistribute settlers from there

It gives you greater control over resources.

The more food and water you have the more likely you are to get raided

I'm gonna jinx myself here and say that after over 4 days of gameplay time Sanctuary has not bee raided once and I have no fences up and have only done limited building but I only have the original 5 people there.

On the resources make sure you tag the key components for turrets (Gears, Oil etc) for search and then only bother carrying junk with those items.

I also plan on starting dedicated scavenging trips starting in the north west corner and working across and down to empty each location I find of ALL junk. I will leave the South East corner for later though once I am higher level.

Absolutely GREAT work; you make me want to revisit my own fort

My favorite settlement has cantilevering levels. This allows unique roofing/siding to be applied to each floor, and keeps it from looking too box-y. With a central staircase, each floor juts out a different direction. I want to have the floors spiral up in my next settlement, instead of back and forth between two directions. Hopefully someone can understand what I'm saying here lol.

Here's a 'character'-drawing of what I'm doing:

Each line is a floor in the building. (First floor is stairs, last is generators)

Wow...wow...and WOW! You guys are doing one hell of a job with those settlements! I'll have to post mine, if I can ever figure out how to do that from console..ugh.

Awesome bases though!

This puts my castle to shame , and I thought I was doing well , consider me inspired mate that's cool

» Mon Nov 30, 2015 2:11 am

Thanks Still waiting for more settlers before I start decorating the inside with shops and workstations (and more housing in the courtyard)

Meanwhile I've been working on my newest addition of my settlements - Croup Manor

Settlement building consume so much play time, and I haven't even tried to build anything "spectacular" yet... Like all this awesome huge towers I see people building here. So nice to see all these nice creations

Did anyone figure out how to get settlers to go to the top of Red Rocket'S roof? I have stairs that lead up there but NPCs won't go up there.

what a GREAT location!

A little more inspiration for you

I'll take that as a no....

» Sun Nov 29, 2015 9:54 pm

Don't know which one has the biggest as I haven't found them all yet

Sanctuary and Starlight Drive In seem pretty big but I think a lot of people are using the glitch to build more than you should be able to
